(1)Approximate, subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5%.
(2)The approximate initial credit support percentages set forth for the certificates are approximate and, for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, are represented in the aggregate.
(3)The assumed final distribution dates set forth in this prospectus have been determined on the basis of the assumptions described in “Description of the Certificates—Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date”.
(4)The weighted average life and period during which distributions of principal would be received as set forth in the foregoing table with respect to each class of certificates having a certificate balance are based on the assumptions set forth under “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” and on the assumptions that there are no prepayments, modifications or losses in respect of the mortgage loans and that there are no extensions or forbearances of maturity dates of the mortgage loans.
(5)The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, in each case and on each distribution date, will be a per annum rate equal to a fixed rate (described in the table as “Fixed”) at the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Pass-Through Rates”.
(6)The Class X-A certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-A certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal. The Class X-B certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-B certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.
(7)The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of calculating the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans in order to determine the pass-through rates of Class X-A and Class X-B certificates for any distribution date, each of the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.
(8)The pass-through rates for the Class A-S and Class B certificates, in each case and on each distribution date, will be a per annum variable rate equal to the lesser of (x) a fixed rate (described in the table as “Fixed”) at the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table and (y) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans (adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for such distribution date. See Description of the Certificates—Distributions — Pass-Through Rates”.
(9)The pass-through rate for the Class C certificates for each distribution date will be a per annum rate (described in the table as “WAC- 0.7500%” ) equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans (in each case adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for such distribution date, less 0.7500%. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions— Pass-Through Rates”.
(10)The pass-through rates for the Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates, in each case and on each distribution date, will be a per annum rate (described in the table as “WAC”) equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans (in each case adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for such distribution date. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Pass-Through Rates”.
(11)The Class R certificates have no certificate balance, notional amount, credit support, pass-through rate, rated final distribution date or rating, and will not be entitled to distributions of principal or interest. The Class R certificates will represent beneficial ownership of the residual interest in each Trust REMIC, as further described in this prospectus.

The corporate trust office of the trustee is located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. Following the transfer of the mortgage loans, the trustee, on behalf of the issuing entity, will become the mortgagee of record for each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and the related companion loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Trustee” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

 

The initial mortgagee of record with respect to the servicing shift mortgage loans will be the trustee under the pooling and servicing agreement. From and after the related servicing shift securitization date, the mortgagee of record with respect to the related servicing shift mortgage loan will be the trustee designated in the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement.

 

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan, the entity set forth in the table titled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool —Whole Loans” below, in its capacity as trustee under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction, is the mortgagee of record for that non-serviced mortgage loan and any related companion loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Certificate Administrator Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, will initially act as certificate administrator.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

The custodian with respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan will be the entity set forth in the table below titled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans”, as custodian under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Operating Advisor Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, will be the operating advisor. The operating advisor will have certain review and reporting responsibilities with respect to the performance of the special servicer, and in certain circumstances may recommend to the certificateholders that the special servicer be replaced. The operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan or any related REO property. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor.

Directing Certificateholder The directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights in certain circumstances with respect to the mortgage loans (other than (i) any non-serviced mortgage loan, (ii) any servicing shift mortgage loan and (iii) any excluded loan), as further described in this prospectus. The directing certificateholder will generally be the controlling class certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than 50% of the controlling class certificateholders (by certificate balance, as certified by the certificate registrar from time to time as provided for in the pooling and servicing agreement). An “excluded loan” is a mortgage loan or whole loan with respect to which the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class certificates (by certificate principal balance),

 

 24

 

 

is a borrower, a mortgagor, a manager of a mortgaged property, the holder of a mezzanine loan that has accelerated the related mezzanine loan (subject to certain exceptions) or commenced foreclosure or enforcement proceedings against the equity collateral pledged to secure the related mezzanine loan, or any borrower party affiliate. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder. However, in certain circumstances, there may be no directing certificateholder even if there is a controlling class, and in other circumstances there will be no controlling class.

 

The controlling class will be the most subordinate class of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates then-outstanding that has an aggregate certificate balance, as notionally reduced by any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts allocable to such class, at least equal to 25% of the initial certificate balance of that class. No class of certificates, other than as described above, will be eligible to act as the controlling class or appoint a directing certificateholder.

 

It is anticipated that Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company will purchase the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates (and may purchase certain other classes of certificates). On the closing date, it is expected that Barings LLC will be the initial directing certificateholder with respect to each mortgage loan (other than (i) any non-serviced mortgage loan, (ii) any servicing shift mortgage loan, and (iii) any excluded loan).

 

With respect to the servicing shift whole loan identified as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, the holder of the related controlling pari passu companion loan will be the related controlling noteholder, and will be entitled to certain consent and consultation rights with respect to the related servicing shift whole loan under the related intercreditor agreement. From and after the related servicing shift securitization date, the directing certificateholder of the servicing shift whole loan is expected to be the directing certificateholder under the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement. The directing certificateholder of this securitization will only have limited consultation rights with respect to certain servicing matters or mortgage loan modifications affecting each of the servicing shift mortgage loans. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

The entity identified in the table titled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below is the initial directing certificateholder under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction and will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan, which are substantially similar, but not identical, to those of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, subject to similar appraisal mechanics. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The

Pass-Through Rates 

A. Offered Certificates Your certificates will accrue interest at an annual rate called a pass-through rate. The initial approximate pass-through rate is set forth below for each class of certificates:

 

Class

 

Approximate Initial
Pass-Through Rate(1)

Class A-1   1.9688%
Class A-2   3.0375%
Class A-3   3.3785%

Class C   3.8068%

  

 

 

(1)The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, in each case and on each distribution date, will be a per annum rate equal to a fixed rate set forth opposite such class in the table. The pass-through rates for the Class A-S and Class B certificates, in each case and on each distribution date, will be a per annum variable rate equal to the lesser of (x) a fixed rate at the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table and (y) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for such distribution date. The pass-through rate for the Class C certificates on each distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans (adjusted, if necessary, to accrue on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) for such distribution date, less 0.7500%.
(2)The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balance outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a

   

 30

 

 

per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balance outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of calculating the weighted average of the net mortgage rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

 

B. Interest Rate Calculation
Convention

Interest on the offered certificates at their applicable pass-through rates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or a “30/360 basis”.

 

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other class of certificates that has a pass-through rate limited by, equal to or based on the weighted average net mortgage rate (which calculation does not include any companion loan interest rate), the mortgage loan interest rates will not reflect any default interest rate, any loan term modifications agreed to by the special servicer or any modifications resulting from a borrower’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the offered certificates, the interest rate for each mortgage loan that accrues interest based on the actual number of days in each month and assuming a 360-day year, or an “actual/360 basis”, will be recalculated, if necessary, so that the amount of interest that would accrue at that recalculated rate in the applicable month, calculated on a 30/360 basis, will equal the amount of interest that is required to be paid on that mortgage loan in that month, subject to certain adjustments as described in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Pass-Through Rates” and “—Interest Distribution Amount”.

 

C. Servicing and
Administration Fees

The master servicer and the special servicer are entitled to a master servicing fee and a special servicing fee, respectively, from the interest payments on each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan with respect to the special servicing fee only), the serviced companion loans and any related REO loans and, with respect to the special servicing fees, if the related loan interest payments (or other collections in respect of the related mortgage loan or mortgaged property) are insufficient, then from general collections on all mortgage loans. The servicing fee for each distribution date, including the master servicing fee and the portion of the servicing fee payable to any primary servicer or subservicer, is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan) and the related serviced companion loans at the servicing fee rate equal to a per annum rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.05250%.
   
  The special servicing fee for each distribution date is calculated based on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and the related serviced companion loans as to which a special servicing transfer

 

 31

 

 

  event has occurred (including any REO loans), on a loan-by-loan basis at the special servicing fee rate equal to a per annum rate of 0.25000%. The special servicer will not be entitled to a special servicing fee with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan.
   
Any primary servicing fees or sub-servicing fees with respect to each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and the related serviced companion loans will be paid by the master servicer or special servicer, respectively, out of the fees described above.

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

 

The certificate administrator fee for each distribution date is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan, but not any companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00840%. The trustee fee is payable by the certificate administrator from the certificate administrator fee and is equal to $290 per month.

 

The operating advisor will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (excluding any non-serviced mortgage loan, any servicing shift mortgage loan and any companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00395%. The operating advisor will also be entitled under certain circumstances to a consulting fee.

 

As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (including each non-serviced mortgage loan and excluding each companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00060%.

Each party to the pooling and servicing agreement will also be entitled to be reimbursed by the issuing entity for costs, expenses and liabilities borne by them in certain circumstances. Fees and expenses payable by the issuing entity to any party to the pooling and servicing agreement are generally payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

Additionally, with respect to each distribution date, an amount equal to the product of 0.00050% per annum multiplied by the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and any REO loan will be payable to CRE Finance Council® as a license fee for use of its name and trademarks, including an investor reporting package. This fee will be payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

 

Payment of the fees and reimbursement of the costs and expenses described above will generally have priority over the distribution of amounts payable to the certificateholders. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses” and “—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”.

 

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan set forth in the table below, the related non-serviced master servicer and/or sub-servicer under the applicable non-serviced trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of that loan will be entitled to a primary servicing fee (and, where applicable, sub-servicing fee) at a rate equal to a per annum rate set forth in the table below, and the related non-serviced special servicer under the applicable non-serviced trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, will be entitled to a special servicing fee at a rate equal to the per annum rate set forth below.

(1)Does not reflect the Carolina Hotel Portfolio mortgage loan, a servicing shift mortgage loan. With respect to the servicing shift mortgage loan, after the securitization of the related controlling pari passu companion loan, such mortgage loan will be a non-serviced mortgage loan, and the related servicing shift master servicer and related servicing shift special servicer under the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement will be entitled to a primary servicing fee and special servicing fee, respectively, as will be set forth in such related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement.

(2)The related non-serviced master servicer and/or sub-servicer under the applicable non-serviced trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, will be entitled to a primary servicing fee (and in certain cases, a sub-servicing fee) at a rate equal to a per annum rate set forth in the chart, which is included as part of the servicing fee rate.

 

Distributions

 

A. Amount and Order of
Distributions
 
On each distribution date, funds available for distribution from the mortgage loans, net of (i) specified expenses of the issuing entity, including fees payable to, and costs and expenses reimbursable to, the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer and (ii) any yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums:

 

First, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A and Class X-B certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, the interest entitlements for those classes;

 

Second, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates as follows: (i) to the extent of funds allocated to principal and available for distribution: (a) first, to principal on the Class A-SB certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-SB certificates is reduced to the planned principal balance for the related distribution date set forth in Annex E, (b) second, to principal on the Class A-1 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-1 certificates has been reduced to zero, (c) third, to principal on the Class A-2 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-2 certificates has been reduced to zero, (d) fourth, to principal on the Class A-3 certificates until the certificate balance of the Class A-3 certificates has been reduced to zero, (e) fifth, to principal on the Class A-4 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-4 certificates has been reduced to zero, (f) sixth, to principal on the Class A-5 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-5 certificates has been reduced to zero, and (g) seventh, to principal on the Class A-SB certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-SB

 

 34

 

 

certificates has been reduced to zero, or (ii) if the certificate balance of each class of certificates other than the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates has been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of mortgage loan losses to those certificates, funds available for distributions of principal will be distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, pro rata, without regard to the distribution priorities described above or the planned principal balance of the Class A-SB certificates;

 

Third, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, to reimburse the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, pro rata, for any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans allocable to principal that were previously borne by those classes, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such classes;

 

Fourth, to the Class A-S certificates as follows: (a) to interest on the Class A-S certificates in the amount of their interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class A-S certificates until their certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class A-S certificates for any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

 

Fifth, to the Class B certificates as follows: (a) to interest on the Class B certificates in the amount of their interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class B certificates until their certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class B certificates for any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

 

Sixth, to the Class C certificates as follows: (a) to interest on the Class C certificates in the amount of their interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class C certificates until their certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class C certificates for any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

 

 35

 

 

Seventh, to the non-offered certificates (other than the Class R certificates) in the amounts and order of priority described in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”; and

 

Eighth, to the Class R certificates, any remaining amounts.

 

For more detailed information regarding distributions on the certificates, see “Description of the Certificates—Distributions —Priority of Distributions”.

 

B. Interest and Principal Entitlements  
A description of the interest entitlement of each class of certificates (other than the Class R certificates) can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Interest Distribution Amount”. As described in that section, there are circumstances in which your interest entitlement for a distribution date could be less than one full month’s interest at the pass-through rate on your certificate’s balance or notional amount.

 

A description of the amount of principal required to be distributed to each class of certificates entitled to principal on a particular distribution date can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Principal Distribution Amount”.

 

C. Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums  
Yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums with respect to the mortgage loans will be allocated to the certificates as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”.

 

For an explanation of the calculation of yield maintenance charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

 

D. Subordination, Allocation of Losses and Certain Expenses  
The chart below describes the manner in which the payment rights of certain classes of certificates will be senior or subordinate, as the case may be, to the payment rights of other classes of certificates. The chart shows the entitlement to receive principal and/or interest of certain classes of certificates on any distribution date in descending order. It also shows the manner in which mortgage loan losses are allocated to certain classes of the certificates in ascending order (beginning with the non-offered certificates, other than the Class R certificates) to reduce the balance of each such class to zero; provided that no principal payments or mortgage loan losses will be allocated to the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates, although principal payments and mortgage loan losses may reduce the notional amounts of the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and, therefore, the amount of interest they accrue.

 

 36

 

  

(FLOW CHART) 

 

 

(1)The Class X-A and Class X-B certificates are interest-only certificates.

 

(2)Other than the Class R certificates.

 

Other than the subordination of certain classes of certificates, as described above, no other form of credit enhancement will be available for the benefit of the holders of the offered certificates.

 

Principal losses and principal payments, if any, on mortgage loans that are allocated to a class of certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B or Class R certificates) will reduce the certificate balance of that class of certificates.

 

The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be reduced by the aggregate amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be reduced by the aggregate amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class B and Class C certificates.

 

To the extent funds are available on a subsequent distribution date for distribution on your offered certificates, you will be reimbursed for any losses allocated to your offered certificates with interest at the pass-through rate on those offered certificates in accordance with the distribution priorities.

 

See “Description of the CertificatesSubordination; Allocation of Realized Losses” for more detailed information regarding the subordination provisions applicable to the certificates and the allocation of losses to the certificates.

 

E. Shortfalls in Available Funds   The following types of shortfalls in available funds will reduce distributions to the classes of certificates with the lowest payment priorities:

 

shortfalls from delinquencies and defaults by borrowers;

 

shortfalls resulting from the payment of special servicing fees and other additional compensation that the special servicer is entitled to receive;

 

shortfalls resulting from interest on advances made by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (to the

 

 37

 

 

extent not covered by late payment charges or default interest paid by the related borrower);

 

shortfalls resulting from the application of appraisal reductions to reduce interest advances;

 

shortfalls resulting from extraordinary expenses of the issuing entity including indemnification payments payable to the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement;

 

shortfalls resulting from a modification of a mortgage loan’s interest rate or principal balance; and

 

shortfalls resulting from other unanticipated or default-related expenses of the issuing entity.

 

In addition, prepayment interest shortfalls on the mortgage loans that are not covered by certain compensating interest payments made by the master servicer are required to be allocated among the classes of certificates entitled to interest, on a pro rata basis, to reduce the amount of interest payable on each such class of certificates to the extent described in this prospectus. See “Description of the Certificates—Prepayment Interest Shortfalls”.

 

Advances

 

A. P&I AdvancesThe master servicer is required to advance a delinquent periodic payment on each mortgage loan, including any non-serviced mortgage loan or REO loan (other than any portion of a REO loan related to a companion loan), unless the master servicer or the special servicer determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to advance balloon payments due at maturity in excess of the regular periodic payment, interest in excess of a mortgage loan’s regular interest rate, default interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

 

The amount of the interest portion of any advance will be subject to reduction to the extent that an appraisal reduction of the related mortgage loan has occurred (and with respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, to the extent such appraisal reduction amount is allocated to the related mortgage loan). There may be other circumstances in which the master servicer will not be required to advance a full month of principal and/or interest. If the master servicer fails to make a required advance, the trustee will be required to make the advance, unless the trustee determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable. If an interest advance is made by the master servicer, the master servicer will not advance the portion of interest that constitutes its servicing fee, but will advance the portion of interest that constitutes the monthly fees payable to the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer and the CREFC® license fee.

 

None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will make, or be permitted to make, any principal or interest advance

 

 38

 

 

with respect to any companion loan that is not held by the issuing entity. None of the master servicer, special servicer or trustee will make or be permitted to make any advance in connection with the exercise of any cure rights or purchase rights granted to the holder of any companion loan under the related co-lender agreement.

 

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

B. Property Protection Advances   The master servicer may be required to make advances with respect to mortgage loans and related companion loans that it is required to service to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and similar expenses necessary to:

 

protect and maintain (and in the case of REO properties, lease and manage) the related mortgaged property;

 

maintain the lien on the related mortgaged property; and/or

 

enforce the related mortgage loan documents.

 

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any property protection advances (although it may elect to make them in an emergency circumstance). If the special servicer makes a property protection advance, the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for that advance (with interest thereon) (unless the master servicer determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable in which case it will be reimbursed out of the collection account) and the master servicer will be deemed to have made that advance as of the date made by the special servicer.

 

If the master servicer fails to make a required advance of this type, the trustee will be required to make this advance. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee is required to advance amounts determined by such party to be nonrecoverable.

 

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

With respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, the master servicer (and the trustee, as applicable) under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan will be required to, and the applicable special servicer may, make similar advances with respect to delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums as described above.

 

C. Interest on Advances   The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to interest on the above described advances at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, as described in this prospectus. Interest accrued on outstanding advances may result in reductions in amounts otherwise payable on the certificates. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on advances made with

 

 39

 

 

respect to principal and interest due on a mortgage loan until the related due date has passed. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

With respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, the applicable makers of advances under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the related non-serviced whole loan will similarly be entitled to interest on advances, and any accrued and unpaid interest on property protection advances made in respect of such non-serviced mortgage loan may be reimbursed from general collections on the other mortgage loans included in the issuing entity to the extent not recoverable from such non-serviced mortgage loan and to the extent allocable to a non-serviced mortgage loan in accordance with the related intercreditor agreement.

 

The Mortgage Pool

 

The Mortgage Pool   The issuing entity’s primary assets will be thirty-seven (37) fixed rate commercial mortgage loans, each evidenced by one or more promissory notes secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee and/or leasehold estate of the related borrower in one-hundred sixty-eight (168) commercial and multifamily properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness”. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations”.

 

The aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date will be approximately $811,002,952.

 

Whole Loans

 

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this prospectus, the term “mortgage loan” refers to each of the thirty-seven (37) commercial mortgage loans to be held by the issuing entity. Of the mortgage loans, each of the loans in the table below is part of a larger whole loan, each of which is comprised of (i) the related mortgage loan, (ii) one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related mortgage loan and evidenced by separate promissory notes (each referred to in this prospectus as a “pari passu companion loan” or a “companion loan”) and (iii) in the case of four (4) mortgage loans in the following table, one or more loans that are subordinate in right of payment to the related mortgage loan and any related pari passu companion loans (each referred to in this prospectus as a “subordinate companion loan” or a “companion loan”). Each of the pari passu companion loans and the subordinate companion loans are referred to in this prospectus as a “companion loan”. The companion loans, together with their related mortgage loans, are each referred to in this prospectus as a “whole loan”.

(1)Calculated including any related pari passu companion loan(s) and the related subordinate companion loans but excluding any mezzanine loan or any other subordinate indebtedness not secured directly by the related mortgaged property. The Whole Loan LTV Ratio for certain whole loans may be based on a hypothetical valuation other than an “as-is” value. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value” for additional information.

 

(2)In the case of one (1) mortgage loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the payments used for calculating the Whole Loan Underwritten NCF DSCR were based on the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the interest-only period based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F.

 

The Carolina Hotel Portfolio whole loan, a “servicing shift whole loan”, will initially be serviced by the master servicer and the special servicer pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction. From and after the date on which the related controlling companion loan is securitized (the “servicing shift securitization date”), it is anticipated that the related servicing shift whole loan will be serviced under, and by the master servicer designated in, the related pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization (the “servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement”). Prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, the related servicing shift whole loan will be a “serviced whole loan”. On and after the related servicing shift securitization date, the related servicing shift whole loan will be a “non-serviced whole loan”.

 

The whole loans identified in the table below will not be serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement and instead will each be serviced under a separate trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, identified below relating to the related control note and are each referred to in this prospectus as a “non-serviced whole loan”. The related mortgage loans are each referred to as a “non-serviced mortgage loan” and the related companion loans are each referred to in this prospectus as a “non-serviced companion loan”. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Mortgage Loan Characteristics

 

The following tables set forth certain anticipated characteristics of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (unless otherwise indicated). Except as specifically provided in this prospectus, various information presented in this prospectus (including loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, debt yields and cut-off date balances per net rentable square foot, pad, room or unit, as applicable) with respect to any mortgage loan with a pari passu companion loan or subordinate companion loan is calculated including the principal balance and debt service payment of the related pari passu companion loan(s), but is calculated excluding the principal balance and debt service payment of the related subordinate companion loan(s) or any other subordinate debt encumbering the related mortgaged property, any related mezzanine debt or any preferred equity. Unless specifically indicated, no subordinate companion loans are included in the presentation of numerical and statistical information with respect to the composition of the mortgage pool contained in this prospectus (including any tables, charts and information set forth on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 to this prospectus).

 

The sum of the numerical data in any column may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. Unless otherwise indicated, all figures and percentages presented in this “Summary of Terms” are calculated as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Information” and, unless otherwise indicated, such figures and percentages are approximate and in each case, represent the indicated figure or percentage of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date. The principal balance of each mortgage loan as of the cut-off date assumes (or, in the case of each mortgage loan with a cut-off date prior to the date of this prospectus, reflects) the timely receipt of principal scheduled to be paid on or before the cut-off date and no defaults, delinquencies or prepayments on, or modifications of, any mortgage loan on or prior to the cut-off date. Whenever percentages and other information in this prospectus are presented on the mortgaged property level rather than the mortgage loan level, the information for mortgage loans secured by more than one mortgaged property is based on allocated loan amounts as stated in Annex A-1.

(1)Subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5%.

 

(2)With respect to one (1) mortgage loan identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 8.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the first payment date for the loan is September 1, 2017. On the Closing Date, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association will deposit sufficient funds to pay the interest due for the August 2017 payment for the related mortgage loan. Information presented in this prospectus reflects the contractual loan terms.

 

(3)Excludes eight (8) mortgage loans, representing approximately 50.2% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, that are interest only for the entire term.

 

(4)In the case of one (1) mortgage loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the loan will amortize based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F following the interest only period.

 

(5)With respect to nine (9) mortgaged properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Barry Pointe)” and “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Casselberry)”, “Marriott Park City”, “Springhill Suites Newark Airport”, “Apex Fort Washington”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-University Ctr.”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Charlotte Northlake”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Comfort Suites Gastonia” and “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Myrtle Beach North” on Annex A-1, securing or partially securing five (5) mortgage loans representing approximately 9.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date by allocated loan amount, the loan-to-value ratios were calculated based upon a valuation other than an “as-is” value of each related mortgaged property. The remaining mortgage loans were calculated using “as-is” values as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions—Definitions”. With respect to sixty-five (65) mortgaged properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) mortgage loan representing approximately 7.4% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the LTV Ratio as of the Cut-off Date of 60.4% was calculated based on a portfolio appraised value that reflects a premium attributed to the aggregate value of the entire portfolio of related mortgaged properties as a whole as opposed to the sum of the appraised values of the individual mortgaged properties. For further information, see Annex A-1. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

(6)With respect to thirteen (13) mortgage loans identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio”, “First Stamford Place”, “211 Main Street”, “West Town Mall” , “Torre Plaza”, “St. Luke’s Office”, “Apex Fort Washington”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio”, “Columbus Office Portfolio I” and “Alexandria Corporate Park” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 62.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, each of which has one or more pari passu companion loans that are not included in the issuing entity, the debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields have been calculated including the related pari passu companion loan(s). With respect to four (4) mortgage loans identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “211 Main Street” and “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 27.1% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the calculation of the debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields includes any pari passu companion loans, as applicable, but excludes the related subordinate companion loans. The underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio, related loan-to-value ratio as of the cut-off date and underwritten operating income debt yield including the related subordinate companion loans are (a) with respect to the mortgage loan identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, 2.45x, 54.3% and 9.6%, respectively, (b) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, 2.04x, 66.6% and 9.5%, respectively, (c) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, 2.07x, 66.4% and 7.9%, respectively and (d) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, 1.67x, 56.0% and 10.8%, respectively.

 

(7)Underwritten debt service coverage ratios are calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first twelve payment periods of the mortgage loan following the cut-off date; provided that (i) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity, such items are calculated based on the interest payments scheduled to be due on the first due date following the cut-off date and the 11 due dates thereafter for such mortgage loan and (ii) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for an initial interest-only period that ends prior to maturity and provides for scheduled amortization payments thereafter, such items are calculated based on the monthly payment of principal and interest payable immediately following the expiration of the interest-only period. In the case of one (1) mortgage loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the principal payments used for calculating the underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio were based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F following the interest only period. Certain assumptions and/or adjustments were made to the underwritten net cash flow. For example, with respect to seven (7) mortgaged properties identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1300 Corporate Lakes”, “First Stamford Place”, “211 Main Street”, “West Town Mall” and “Torre Plaza” on Annex A-1, partially securing six (6) mortgage loans representing approximately 29.7% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date by allocated loan amount, certain assumptions and/or adjustments were made to the underwritten net cash flow reflected in the table above. For specific discussions on those particular assumptions and adjustments, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, “—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types”, “—Tenant Issues—Tenant Concentrations”, “—Tenant Issues—Lease Expirations and Terminations—Other”, “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” and “—Additional Information”. See also Annex A-1 and Annex A-3. Certain other similar assumptions and/or adjustments may have been made to other mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

 

All of the mortgage loans accrue interest on an actual/360 basis. For further information regarding the mortgage loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

 

Modified and Refinanced Loans   As of the cut-off date, none of the mortgage loans were modified due to a delinquency.

 

With respect to one (1) mortgage loan identified as “Professional Centre at Garden Malls” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 1.4% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the proceeds of such mortgage loan were used to finance the purchase of the related mortgaged property from an REO sale in connection with a securitization trust that previously held a mortgage loan secured by such mortgaged property and for which LNR Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the related mortgage loan seller and originator, was the special servicer. The trustee of the related prior securitization trust reported a loss of approximately $6,405,552 (approximately

 

 45

 

 

37.13% of the original principal balance of the prior loan) in connection with the sale of such mortgaged property to the borrower sponsor. The related borrower under such mortgage loan is unaffiliated with the borrower under the prior mortgage loan.

 

With respect to one (1) mortgage loan identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 0.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the proceeds of such mortgage loan refinanced a prior mortgage loan in a securitization trust secured by such mortgaged property which mortgage loan had been transferred to special servicing. As part of a forbearance agreement, default interest of approximately $257,016 and deferred late charges of approximately $21,773 were waived, and the borrower sponsor made a principal payment of approximately $1 million. The trustee of the related securitization reported that there was no other loss.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings”.

 

Loans Underwritten Based on Limited Operating Histories  
With respect to forty-four (44) mortgaged properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “Flowserve Pumps”, “Marcel Commons” and “Professional Centre at Gardens Mall” on Annex A-1, securing four (4) mortgage loans representing approximately 13.6% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, such mortgaged properties (i) were constructed or the subject of a major renovation that was completed within 12 calendar months prior to the cut-off date and, therefore, the related mortgaged property has no or limited prior operating history, (ii) were acquired by the related borrower or any affiliate of such borrower or were vacant within 12 calendar months prior to the cut-off date and such borrower or affiliate was unable to provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information (or provided limited historical financial information) for such acquired mortgaged property, (iii) are single tenant properties subject to triple-net leases with the related tenant where the related borrower did not provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for the related mortgaged property or (iv) were leased to a single tenant under a triple net lease.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

 

Certain Variances from Underwriting Standards  
Certain of the mortgage loans may vary from the underwriting guidelines described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”. With respect to one (1) mortgaged property identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) mortgage loan representing approximately 0.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the debt yield is lower than the underwritten debt yield of 7.5% provided for in Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC’s underwriting guidelines. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Mortgage Loans; Loss of Value Payment  

Under certain circumstances, the related mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC or Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) may be obligated to (i) repurchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or substitute for an affected mortgage loan from the issuing entity or (ii) make a cash payment that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity in the event of a document defect or a breach of a representation and warranty made by the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the mortgage loan in the mortgage loan purchase agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of the mortgage loan, the value of the related mortgaged property or the interests of any certificateholders in the mortgage loan or mortgaged property or causes the mortgage loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”). See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

Sale of Defaulted Loans   Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement, under certain circumstances, the special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for defaulted serviced mortgage loans (or a defaulted serviced whole loan) and/or related REO properties and may accept the first (and, if multiple offers are received, the highest) cash offer from any person that constitutes a fair price for the defaulted serviced mortgage loan (or defaulted whole loan) or related REO property, determined as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and

 

 48

 

 

“—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”, unless the special servicer determines, in accordance with the servicing standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the certificateholders and the related companion loan holders (as a collective whole as if such certificateholders and such companion loan holders constituted a single lender).

 

If a non-serviced mortgage loan with a related pari passu companion loan becomes a defaulted loan and the special servicer under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the related pari passu companion loan determines to sell such pari passu companion loan, then that special servicer will be required to sell the related non-serviced mortgage loan together with the related pari passu companion loan and, in the case of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio whole loan, the 245 Park Avenue whole loan, the 211 Main Street whole loan and the West Town Mall whole loan only, the related subordinate companion loans, in a manner similar to that described above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision. In particular, distributions on your certificates will depend on payments received on, and other recoveries with respect to the mortgage loans. Therefore, you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the mortgage loans and the mortgaged properties.

 

If any of the following events or circumstances identified as risks actually occur or materialize, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. We note that additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair your investment.

 

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

The Certificates May Not Be a Suitable Investment for You

 

The certificates will not be suitable investments for all investors. In particular, you should not purchase any class of certificates unless you understand and are able to bear the risk that the yield to maturity and the aggregate amount and timing of distributions on the certificates will be subject to material variability from period to period and give rise to the potential for significant loss over the life of the certificates. The interaction of the foregoing factors and their effects are impossible to predict and are likely to change from time to time. As a result, an investment in the certificates involves substantial risks and uncertainties and should be considered only by sophisticated institutional investors with substantial investment experience with similar types of securities and who have conducted appropriate due diligence on the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties and the certificates.

 

Combination or “Layering” of Multiple Risks May Significantly Increase Risk of Loss

 

Although the various risks discussed in this prospectus are generally described separately, you should consider the potential effects of the interplay of multiple risk factors. Where more than one significant risk factor is present, the risk of loss to an investor in the certificates may be significantly increased.

 

Risks Related to Market Conditions and Other External Factors

 

The Volatile Economy, Credit Crisis and Downturn in the Real Estate Market Have Adversely Affected and May Continue To Adversely Affect the Value of CMBS

 

In recent years, the real estate and securitization markets, including the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), experienced significant dislocations, illiquidity and volatility. We cannot assure you that another dislocation in CMBS will not occur.

 

Any economic downturn may adversely affect the financial resources of borrowers under commercial mortgage loans and may result in their inability to make payments on, or refinance, their outstanding mortgage debt when due or to sell their mortgaged properties for an aggregate amount sufficient to pay off the outstanding debt when due. As a result, distributions of principal and interest on your certificates, and the value of your certificates, could be adversely affected.

 

Other Events May Affect the Value and Liquidity of Your Investment

 

Moreover, other types of events, domestic or international, may affect general economic conditions and financial markets:

 

Wars, revolts, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, energy supply or price disruptions, political crises, natural disasters, civil unrest and/or protests and man-made disasters may have an adverse effect on the mortgaged properties and/or your certificates; and

 

 51

 

 

Trading activity associated with indices of CMBS may drive spreads on those indices wider than spreads on CMBS, thereby resulting in a decrease in value of such CMBS, including your certificates, and spreads on those indices may be affected by a variety of factors, and may or may not be affected for reasons involving the commercial and multifamily real estate markets and may be affected for reasons that are unknown and cannot be discerned.

 

You should consider that the foregoing factors may adversely affect the performance of the mortgage loans and accordingly the performance of the offered certificates.

 

Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans

 

Mortgage Loans Are Non-Recourse and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed

 

The mortgage loans are not insured or guaranteed by any person or entity, governmental or otherwise.

 

Investors should treat each mortgage loan as a non-recourse loan. If a default occurs, recourse generally may be had only against the specific mortgaged properties and other assets that have been pledged to secure the mortgage loan. Consequently, payment prior to maturity is dependent primarily on the sufficiency of the net operating income of the mortgaged property. Payment at maturity is primarily dependent upon the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to refinance or sell the mortgaged property.

 

Although the mortgage loans generally are non-recourse in nature, certain mortgage loans contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters. Certain mortgage loans set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations” either do not contain non-recourse carveouts or contain material limitations to non-recourse carveouts. Often these obligations are guaranteed by an affiliate of the related borrower, although liability under any such guaranty may be capped or otherwise limited in amount or scope. Furthermore, certain guarantors may be foreign entities or individuals which, while subject to the domestic governing law provisions in the guaranty and related mortgage loan documents, could nevertheless require enforcement of any judgment in relation to a guaranty in a foreign jurisdiction, which could, in turn, cause a significant time delay or result in the inability to enforce the guaranty under foreign law. Additionally, the guarantor’s net worth and liquidity may be less (and in some cases, materially less) than amounts due under the related mortgage loan or the guarantor’s sole asset may be its interest in the related borrower. Certain mortgage loans may have the benefit of a general payment guaranty of a portion of the indebtedness under the mortgage loan. In all cases, however, the mortgage loans should be considered to be non-recourse obligations because neither the depositor nor the sponsors make any representation or warranty as to the obligation or ability of any borrower or guarantor to pay any deficiencies between any foreclosure proceeds and the mortgage loan indebtedness.

 

Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally

 

The mortgage loans will be secured by various income producing commercial and multifamily properties. The repayment of a commercial or multifamily loan is typically dependent upon the ability of the related mortgaged property to produce cash flow through the collection of rents. Even the liquidation value of a commercial property is determined, in substantial part, by the capitalization of the property’s ability to produce cash flow. However, net operating income can be volatile and may be insufficient to cover debt service on the loan at any given time.

 

The net operating incomes and property values of the mortgaged properties may be adversely affected by a large number of factors. Some of these factors relate to the properties themselves, such as:

 

the age, design and construction quality of the properties;

 

perceptions regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties;

 

the characteristics and desirability of the area where the property is located;

 

 52

 

 

the strength and nature of the local economy, including labor costs and quality, tax environment and quality of life for employees;

 

the proximity and attractiveness of competing properties;

 

the adequacy of the property’s management and maintenance;

 

increases in interest rates, real estate taxes and operating expenses at the property and in relation to competing properties;

 

an increase in the capital expenditures needed to maintain the properties or make improvements;

 

a decline in the businesses operated by tenants or in their financial condition;

 

an increase in vacancy rates; and

 

a decline in rental rates as leases are renewed or entered into with new tenants.

 

Other factors are more general in nature, such as:

 

national or regional economic conditions, including plant closings, military base closings, industry slowdowns, oil and/or gas drilling facility slowdowns or closings and unemployment rates;

 

local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of competing properties, retail space, office space, multifamily housing or hotel capacity;

 

demographic factors;

 

consumer confidence;

 

consumer tastes and preferences;

 

political factors;

 

environmental factors;

 

seismic activity risk;

 

retroactive changes in building codes;

 

changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments;

 

location of certain mortgaged properties in less densely populated or less affluent areas; and

 

the public perception of safety for customers and clients.

 

The volatility of net operating income will be influenced by many of the foregoing factors, as well as by:

 

the length of tenant leases (including that in certain cases, all or substantially all of the tenants, or one or more sole, anchor or other major tenants, at a particular mortgaged property may have leases that expire or permit the tenant(s) to terminate its lease during the term of the loan);

 

the quality and creditworthiness of tenants;

 

tenant defaults;

 

in the case of rental properties, the rate at which new rentals occur; and

 

 53

 

 

the property’s “operating leverage”, which is generally the percentage of total property expenses in relation to revenue, the ratio of fixed operating expenses to those that vary with revenues, and the level of capital expenditures required to maintain the property and to retain or replace tenants.

 

A decline in the real estate market or in the financial condition of a major tenant will tend to have a more immediate effect on the net operating income of properties with relatively higher operating leverage or short term revenue sources, such as short term or month to month leases, and may lead to higher rates of delinquency or defaults.

 

Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases

 

General.

 

Any tenant may, from time to time, experience a downturn in its business, which may weaken its financial condition and result in a reduction or failure to make rental payments when due. Tenants under certain leases included in the underwritten net cash flow, underwritten net operating income or occupancy may nonetheless be in financial distress. If tenants’ sales were to decline, percentage rents may decline and, further, tenants may be unable to pay their base rent or other occupancy costs. If a tenant defaults in its obligations to a property owner, that property owner may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur substantial costs and experience significant delays associated with protecting its investment, including costs incurred in renovating and reletting the property. Additionally, the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties leased to various tenants would be adversely affected if:

 

space in the mortgaged properties could not be leased or re-leased or substantial re-leasing costs were required and/or the cost of performing landlord obligations under existing leases materially increased;

 

leasing or re-leasing is restricted by exclusive rights of tenants to lease the mortgaged properties or other covenants not to lease space for certain uses or activities, or covenants limiting the types of tenants to which space may be leased;

 

a significant tenant were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case;

 

rental payments could not be collected for any other reason; or

 

a borrower fails to perform its obligations under a lease resulting in the related tenant having a right to terminate such lease.

 

In addition, certain tenants may be part of a chain that is in financial distress as a whole, or the tenant’s parent company may have implemented or expressed an intent to implement a plan to consolidate or reorganize its operations, close a number of stores in the chain, reduce exposure, relocate stores or otherwise reorganize its business to cut costs.

 

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, certain tenants and/or their parent companies that may have a material adverse effect on the related tenant’s ability to pay rent or remain open for business. We cannot assure you that any such litigation or dispute will not result in a material decline in net operating income at the related mortgaged property.

 

Certain tenants currently may be in a rent abatement period. We cannot assure you that such tenants will be in a position to pay full rent when the abatement period expires. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the mortgaged properties will remain at its current or past levels.

 

 54

 

 

A Tenant Concentration May Result in Increased Losses.

 

Mortgaged properties that are owner-occupied or leased to a single tenant, or a tenant that makes up a significant portion of the rental income, also are more susceptible to interruptions of cash flow if that tenant’s business operations are negatively impacted or if such tenant fails to renew its lease. This is so because:

 

the financial effect of the absence of rental income may be severe;

 

more time may be required to re-lease the space; and

 

substantial capital costs may be incurred to make the space appropriate for replacement tenants.

 

In the event of a default by that tenant, if the related lease expires prior to the mortgage loan maturity date and the related tenant fails to renew its lease or if such tenant exercises an early termination option, there would likely be an interruption of rental payments under the lease and, accordingly, insufficient funds available to the borrower to pay the debt service on the mortgage loan. In certain cases where the tenant owns the improvements on the mortgaged property, the related borrower may be required to purchase such improvements in connection with the exercise of its remedies.

 

With respect to certain of these mortgaged properties that are leased to a single tenant, the related leases may expire prior to, or soon after, the maturity dates of the mortgage loans or the related tenant may have the right to terminate the lease prior to the maturity date of the mortgage loan. If the current tenant does not renew its lease on comparable economic terms to the expired lease, if a single tenant terminates its lease or if a suitable replacement tenant does not enter into a new lease on similar economic terms, there could be a negative impact on the payments on the related mortgage loan.

 

A deterioration in the financial condition of a tenant, the failure of a tenant to renew its lease or the exercise by a tenant of an early termination right can be particularly significant if a mortgaged property is owner-occupied, leased to a single tenant, or if any tenant makes up a significant portion of the rental income at the mortgaged property.

 

Concentrations of particular tenants among the mortgaged properties or within a particular business or industry at one or multiple mortgaged properties increase the possibility that financial problems with such tenants or such business or industry sectors could affect the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loans may be adversely affected if a tenant at the mortgaged property is highly specialized, or dependent on a single industry or only a few customers for its revenue. See “—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Tenant Concentrations” for information on tenant concentrations in the mortgage pool.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Multiple Tenants Also Have Risks.

 

If a mortgaged property has multiple tenants, re-leasing expenditures may be more frequent than in the case of mortgaged properties with fewer tenants, thereby reducing the cash flow available for payments on the related mortgage loan. Multi-tenant mortgaged properties also may experience higher continuing vacancy rates and greater volatility in rental income and expenses. See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the five largest tenants at each mortgaged property.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks.

 

If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower under the mortgage loan or to an affiliate of the borrower, there may be conflicts. For instance, it is more likely a landlord will waive lease conditions for an affiliated tenant than it would for an unaffiliated tenant. We cannot assure you that the conflicts arising where a borrower is affiliated with a tenant at a mortgaged property will not adversely impact the value of the related mortgage loan.

 

In certain cases, an affiliated lessee may be a tenant under a master lease with the related borrower, under which the tenant is obligated to make rent payments but does not occupy any space at the mortgaged

 

 55

 

 

property. Master leases in these circumstances may be used to bring occupancy to a “stabilized” level with the intent of finding additional tenants to occupy some or all of the master leased space, but may not provide additional economic support for the mortgage loan. If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower or to an affiliate of the borrower, a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or its affiliates could significantly affect the borrower’s ability to perform under the mortgage loan as it would directly interrupt the cash flow from the mortgaged property if the borrower’s or its affiliate’s financial condition worsens. We cannot assure you that any space leased by a borrower or an affiliate of the borrower will eventually be occupied by third party tenants.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases” for information on properties leased in whole or in part to borrowers and their affiliates.

 

Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease.

 

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a number of smaller tenants, such as in retail properties, may have an adverse impact on the mortgaged properties affected and the income produced by such mortgaged properties. Under the federal bankruptcy code, a tenant has the option of assuming or rejecting or, subject to certain conditions, assuming and assigning to a third party, any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the landlord’s claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be treated as a general unsecured claim against the tenant and a lessor’s damages for lease rejection are generally subject to certain limitations. We cannot assure you that tenants of the mortgaged properties will continue making payments under their leases or that tenants will not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if any tenants do file, that they will continue to make rental payments in a timely manner. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for information regarding bankruptcy issues with respect to certain mortgage loans.

 

In the case of certain mortgage loans included in the mortgage pool, it may be possible that the related master lease could be construed in a bankruptcy as a financing lease or other arrangement under which the related master lessee (and/or its affiliates) would be deemed as effectively the owner of the related mortgaged property, rather than a tenant, which could result in potentially adverse consequences for the trust, as the holder of such mortgage loan, including a potentially greater risk of an unfavorable plan of reorganization and competing claims of creditors of the related master lessee and/or its affiliates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”.

 

Leases That Are Not Subordinated to the Lien of the Mortgage or Do Not Contain Attornment Provisions May Have an Adverse Impact at Foreclosure.

 

In certain jurisdictions, if tenant leases are subordinated to the liens created by the mortgage but do not contain attornment provisions that require the tenant to subordinate the lease if the mortgagee agrees to enter into a non-disturbance agreement, the tenants may terminate their leases upon the transfer of the property to a foreclosing lender or purchaser at foreclosure. Accordingly, if a mortgaged property is located in such a jurisdiction and is leased to one or more desirable tenants under leases that are subordinate to the mortgage and do not contain attornment provisions, such mortgaged property could experience a further decline in value if such tenants’ leases were terminated. This is particularly likely if those tenants were paying above-market rents or could not be replaced. If a lease is not subordinate to a mortgage, the issuing entity will not possess the right to dispossess the tenant upon foreclosure of the mortgaged property (unless otherwise agreed to with the tenant). Also, if the lease contains provisions inconsistent with the mortgage (e.g., provisions relating to application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards) or which could affect the enforcement of the lender’s rights (e.g., a right of first refusal to purchase the property), the provisions of the lease will take precedence over the provisions of the mortgage. Not all leases were reviewed to ascertain the existence of attornment or subordination provisions.

 

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain tenants or others an option to purchase, a right of first refusal and/or a right of first offer to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property in the event a sale is contemplated, and such right is not subordinate to the related mortgage. This may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure, or,

 

 56

 

 

upon foreclosure, this may affect the value and/or marketability of the related mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal” for information regarding material purchase options and/or rights of first refusal, if any, with respect to mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans. See representation and warranty number 8 in Annex D-1 and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow.

 

Leases often give tenants the right to terminate the related lease, abate or reduce the related rent, and/or exercise certain remedies against the related borrower for various reasons or upon various conditions, including:

 

if the borrower for the applicable mortgaged property allows uses at the mortgaged property in violation of use restrictions in current tenant leases,

 

if the borrower or any of its affiliates owns other properties within a certain radius of the mortgaged property and allows uses at those properties in violation of use restrictions,

 

if the related borrower fails to provide a designated number of parking spaces,

 

if there is construction at the related mortgaged property or an adjacent property (whether or not such adjacent property is owned or controlled by the borrower or any of its affiliates) that may interfere with visibility of, access to or a tenant’s use of the mortgaged property or otherwise violate the terms of a tenant’s lease,

 

upon casualty or condemnation with respect to all or a portion of the mortgaged property that renders such mortgaged property unsuitable for a tenant’s use or if the borrower fails to rebuild such mortgaged property within a certain time,

 

if a tenant’s use is not permitted by zoning or applicable law,

 

if the tenant is unable to exercise an expansion right,

 

if the landlord defaults on its obligations under the lease,

 

if a landlord leases space at the mortgaged property or within a certain radius of the mortgaged property to a competitor,

 

if the tenant fails to meet certain sales targets or other business objectives for a specified period of time,

 

if significant tenants at the subject property go dark or terminate their leases, or if a specified percentage of the mortgaged property is unoccupied,

 

if the landlord violates the tenant’s exclusive use rights for a specified period of time,

 

if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations,

 

in the case of government sponsored tenants, any time or for lack of appropriations, or

 

if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations.

 

 57

 

 

In certain cases, compliance or satisfaction of landlord covenants may be the responsibility of a third party affiliated with the borrower or, in the event that partial releases of the applicable mortgaged property are permitted, an unaffiliated or affiliated third party.

 

Any exercise of a termination right by a tenant at a mortgaged property could result in vacant space at the related mortgaged property, renegotiation of the lease with the related tenant or re-letting of the space. Any such vacated space may not be re-let. Furthermore, such foregoing termination and/or abatement rights may arise in the future or materially adversely affect the related borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Lease Expirations and Terminations” for information on material tenant lease expirations and early termination options.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Not-for-Profit Tenants Also Have Risks.

 

Certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are charitable institutions that generally rely on contributions from individuals and government grants or other subsidies to pay rent on office space and other operating expenses. We cannot assure you that the rate, frequency and level of individual contributions or governmental grants and subsidies will continue with respect to any such institution. A reduction in contributions or grants may impact the ability of the related institution to pay rent, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower will be in a position to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents if such tenant fails to pay its rent.

 

Office Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of office properties, including:

 

the physical attributes of the building in relation to competing buildings (e.g., age, condition, design, appearance, access to transportation and ability to offer certain amenities, such as sophisticated building systems and/or business wiring requirements);

 

the adaptability of the building to changes in the technological needs of the tenants;

 

an adverse change in population, patterns of telecommuting or sharing of office space, and employment growth (which creates demand for office space); and

 

in the case of medical office properties, the performance of a medical office property may depend on (a) the proximity of such property to a hospital or other healthcare establishment, (b) reimbursements for patient fees from private or government sponsored insurers, (c) its ability to attract doctors and nurses to be on staff, and (d) its ability to afford and acquire the latest medical equipment. Issues related to reimbursement (ranging from nonpayment to delays in payment) from such insurers could adversely impact cash flow at such mortgaged property.

 

Moreover, the cost of refitting office space for a new tenant is often higher than the cost of refitting other types of properties for new tenants.

 

If one or more major tenants at a particular office property were to close or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that such tenants would be replaced in a timely manner or without incurring material additional costs to the related borrower and resulting in an adverse effect on the financial performance of the property.

Retail Properties Have Special Risks

 

Some of the mortgage loans are secured by retail properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Retail Properties. The value of retail properties is significantly affected by the quality of the tenants as well as fundamental aspects of real estate, such as location and market demographics, as well as changes in shopping methods and choices. Some of the risks related to these matters are further described in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, “—Changes in the Retail Sector, Such as Online Shopping and Other Uses of Technology, Could Affect the Business Models and Viability of Retailers,” “—The Performance of the Retail Properties is Subject to Conditions Affecting the Retail Sector” and “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

 

Rental payments from tenants of retail properties typically comprise the largest portion of the net operating income of those mortgaged properties. The correlation between success of tenant business and a retail property’s value may be more direct with respect to retail properties than other types of commercial property because a component of the total rent paid by certain retail tenants is often tied to a percentage of gross sales. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the mortgaged retail properties or the rates of occupancy at the retail stores will remain at the levels specified in this prospectus or remain consistent with past performance.

 

Changes in the Retail Sector, Such as Online Shopping and Other Uses of Technology, Could Affect the Business Models and Viability of Retailers.

 

Online shopping and the use of technology, such as smartphone shopping applications, to transact purchases or to aid purchasing decisions have increased in recent years and are expected to continue to increase in the future. This trend is affecting business models, sales and profitability of some retailers and could adversely affect the demand for retail real estate and occupancy at retail properties securing the mortgage loans. Any resulting decreases in rental revenue could have a material adverse effect on the value of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

 

Some of these developments in the retail sector have led to retail companies, including several national retailers, filing for bankruptcy and/or voluntarily closing certain of their stores. Borrowers may be unable to re-lease such space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms. As a result, the bankruptcy or closure of a national tenant may adversely affect a retail borrower’s revenues. In addition, such closings may allow other tenants to modify their leases to terms that are less favorable for borrowers or to terminate their leases, also adversely impacting their revenues. See also “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

 

In addition to competition from online shopping, retail properties face competition from sources outside a specific geographical real estate market. For example, all of the following compete with more traditional retail properties for consumer dollars: factory outlet centers, discount shopping centers and clubs, catalogue retailers, home shopping networks, and telemarketing. Continued growth of these alternative retail outlets (which often have lower operating costs) could adversely affect the rents collectible at the retail properties included in the pool of mortgage loans, as well as the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties and the related borrower’s ability to refinance such property. Moreover, additional competing retail properties may be built in the areas where the retail properties are located.

 

We cannot assure you that these developments in the retail sector will not adversely affect the performance of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

 

The Performance of the Retail Properties is Subject to Conditions Affecting the Retail Sector.

 

Retail properties are also subject to conditions that could negatively affect the retail sector, such as increased unemployment, increased federal income and payroll taxes, increased health care costs,

 

 59

 

 

increased state and local taxes, increased real estate taxes, industry slowdowns, lack of availability of consumer credit, weak income growth, increased levels of consumer debt, poor housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, plant closings, and other factors. Similarly, local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the supply and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants may negatively impact those retail properties.

 

In addition, the limited adaptability of certain shopping malls that have proven unprofitable may result in high (and possibly extremely high) loss severities on mortgage loans secured by those shopping malls. For example, it is possible that a significant amount of advances made by the applicable servicer(s) of a mortgage loan secured by a shopping mall property, combined with low liquidation proceeds in respect of that property, may result in a loss severity exceeding 100% of the outstanding principal balance of that mortgage loan.

 

Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants.

 

The presence or absence of an “anchor tenant” or a “shadow anchor tenant” in or near a retail property also can be important to the performance of a retail property because anchors play a key role in generating customer traffic and making a retail property desirable for other tenants. Retail properties may also have shadow anchor tenants. An “anchor tenant” is located on the related mortgaged property, usually proportionately larger in size than most or all other tenants in the mortgaged property, and is vital in attracting customers to a retail property. A “shadow anchor tenant” is usually proportionally larger in size than most tenants in the mortgaged property, is important in attracting customers to a retail property and is located sufficiently close and convenient to the mortgaged property so as to influence and attract potential customers, but is not located on the mortgaged property.

 

If anchor stores in a mortgaged property were to close, the related borrower may be unable to replace those anchors in a timely manner or without suffering adverse economic consequences. In addition, anchor tenants and non-anchor tenants at anchored or shadow anchored retail centers may have co-tenancy clauses and/or operating covenants in their leases or operating agreements that permit those tenants or anchor stores to cease operating, reduce rent or terminate their leases if the anchor or shadow anchor tenant goes dark or if the subject store is not meeting the minimum sales requirement under its lease. Even if non-anchor tenants do not have termination or rent abatement rights, the loss of an anchor tenant or a shadow anchor tenant may have a material adverse impact on the non-anchor tenant’s ability to operate because the anchor or shadow anchor tenant plays a key role in generating customer traffic and making a center desirable for other tenants. This, in turn, may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan. In addition, in the event that a “shadow anchor” fails to renew its lease, terminates its lease or otherwise ceases to conduct business within a close proximity to the mortgaged property, customer traffic at the mortgaged property may be substantially reduced. If an anchor tenant goes dark, generally the borrower’s only remedy may be to terminate that lease after the anchor tenant has been dark for a specified amount of time.

 

If anchor tenants or shadow anchor tenants at a particular mortgaged property were to close or otherwise become vacant or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that the related borrower’s ability to repay its mortgage loan would not be materially and adversely affected.

 

Certain anchor tenant and tenant estoppels will have been obtained in connection with the origination of the mortgage loans. These estoppels may identify disputes between the related borrower and the applicable anchor tenant or tenant, or alleged defaults or potential defaults by the applicable property owner under the lease or a reciprocal easement and/or operating agreement (each, an “REA”). Such disputes, defaults or potential defaults, could lead to a termination or attempted termination of the applicable lease or REA by the anchor tenant or tenant or to the tenant withholding some or all of its rental payments or to litigation against the related borrower. We cannot assure you that the anchor tenant or tenant estoppels obtained identify all potential disputes that may arise with respect to the mortgaged retail properties, or that

 

 60

 

 

anchor tenant or tenant disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of borrowers to repay their mortgage loans.

 

Industrial Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of industrial properties, including:

 

reduced demand for industrial space because of a decline in a particular industry segment;

 

the property becoming functionally obsolete;

 

building design and adaptability;

 

unavailability of labor sources;

 

changes in access, energy prices, strikes, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways or other factors;

 

changes in proximity of supply sources;

 

the expenses of converting a previously adapted space to general use; and

 

the location of the property.

 

Industrial properties may be adversely affected by reduced demand for industrial space occasioned by a decline in a particular industry segment in which the related tenant(s) conduct their businesses (for example, a decline in consumer demand for products sold by a tenant using the property as a distribution center). In addition, a particular industrial or warehouse property that suited the needs of its original tenant may be difficult to relet to another tenant or may become functionally obsolete relative to newer properties. Furthermore, lease terms with respect to industrial properties are generally for shorter periods of time and may result in a substantial percentage of leases expiring in the same year at any particular industrial property. In addition, mortgaged properties used for many industrial purposes are more prone to environmental concerns than other property types.

 

Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of an industrial property. Site characteristics that are generally desirable to a warehouse/industrial property include high clear ceiling heights, wide column spacing, a large number of bays (loading docks) and large bay depths, divisibility, a layout that can accommodate large truck minimum turning radii and overall functionality and accessibility.

 

In addition, because of unique construction requirements of many industrial properties, any vacant industrial property space may not be easily converted to other uses. Thus, if the operation of any of the industrial properties becomes unprofitable due to competition, age of the improvements or other factors such that the borrower becomes unable to meet its obligations on the related mortgage loan, the liquidation value of that industrial property may be substantially less, relative to the amount owing on the related mortgage loan, than would be the case if the industrial property were readily adaptable to other uses.

 

Location is also important because an industrial property requires the availability of labor sources, proximity to supply sources and customers and accessibility to rail lines, major roadways and other distribution channels.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Industrial Properties”.

 

 61

 

 

Hotel Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” above, various other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of hotel properties, including:

 

adverse economic and social conditions, either local, regional or national (which may limit the amount that can be charged for a room and reduce occupancy levels);

 

continuing expenditures for modernizing, refurbishing and maintaining existing facilities prior to the expiration of their anticipated useful lives;

 

ability to convert to alternative uses which may not be readily made;

 

a deterioration in the financial strength or managerial capabilities of the owner or operator of a hotel property;

 

changes in travel patterns caused by general adverse economic conditions, fear of terrorist attacks, adverse weather conditions and changes in access, energy prices, strikes, travel costs, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways, concerns about travel safety or other factors; and

 

relative illiquidity of hospitality investments which limits the ability of the borrowers and property managers to respond to changes in economic or other conditions.

 

Because hotel rooms are generally rented for short periods of time, the financial performance of hotel properties tends to be affected by adverse economic conditions and competition more quickly than other commercial properties. Additionally, as a result of high operating costs, relatively small decreases in revenue can cause significant stress on a property’s cash flow.

 

Moreover, the hospitality and lodging industry is generally seasonal in nature and different seasons affect different hotel properties differently depending on type and location. This seasonality can be expected to cause periodic fluctuations in a hotel property’s room and restaurant revenues, occupancy levels, room rates and operating expenses. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be sufficient to offset any shortfalls that occur at the mortgaged property during slower periods or that the related mortgage loans provide for seasonality reserves, or if seasonality reserves are provided for, that such reserves will be funded or will be sufficient or available to fund such shortfalls.

 

In addition, certain hotel properties are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels. Hotel properties that are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels may subject a lender to more risk than full-service hotel properties as they generally require less capital for construction than full-service hotel properties. In addition, as limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels generally offer fewer amenities than full-service hotel properties, they are less distinguishable from each other. As a result, it is easier for limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels to experience increased or unforeseen competition.

 

In addition to hotel operations, some hotel properties also operate entertainment complexes that include restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and/or banquet and meeting spaces and may derive a significant portion of the related property’s revenue from such operations. Consumer demand for entertainment resorts is particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities. Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences could be driven by factors such as perceived or actual general economic conditions, high energy, fuel and food costs, the increased cost of travel, the weakened job market, perceived or actual disposable consumer income and wealth, fears of recession and changes in consumer confidence in the economy, or fears of war and future acts of terrorism. These factors could reduce consumer demand for the leisure activities that the property offers, thus imposing practical limits on pricing and harming operations. Restaurants and nightclubs are particularly vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences. In addition, a nightclub’s,

 

 62

 

 

restaurant’s or bar’s revenue is extremely dependent on its popularity and perception. These characteristics are subject to change rapidly and we cannot assure you that any of a hotel property’s nightclubs, restaurants or bars will maintain their current level of popularity or perception in the market. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on the net cash flow of the property.

 

Some of the hotel properties have liquor licenses associated with the mortgaged property. The liquor licenses for these mortgaged properties are generally held by affiliates of the related borrowers, unaffiliated managers or operating lessees. The laws and regulations relating to liquor licenses generally prohibit the transfer of such licenses to any person, or condition such transfer on the prior approval of the governmental authority that issued the license. In the event of a foreclosure of a hotel property that holds a liquor license, the special servicer on behalf of the issuing entity or a purchaser in a foreclosure sale would likely have to apply for a new license, which might not be granted or might be granted only after a delay that could be significant. We cannot assure you that a new license could be obtained promptly or at all. The lack of a liquor license in a hotel property could have an adverse impact on the revenue from the related mortgaged property or on the hotel property’s occupancy rate.

 

In addition, hospitality properties may be structured with a master lease (or operating lease) in order to minimize potential liabilities of the borrower. Under the master lease structure, an operating lessee (typically affiliated with the borrower) is also an obligor under the related mortgage loan and the operating lessee borrower pays rent to the fee owner borrower.

 

In addition, there may be risks associated with hotel properties that have not entered into or become a party to any franchise agreement, license agreement or other “flag”. Hotel properties often enter into these types of agreements in order to align the hotel property with a certain public perception or to benefit from a centralized reservation system. We cannot assure you that hotel properties that lack such benefits will be able to operate successfully on an independent basis.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hotel Properties”.

 

Risks Relating to Affiliation with a Franchise or Hotel Management Company

 

The performance of a hotel property affiliated with a franchise or hotel management company depends in part on:

 

the continued existence and financial strength of the franchisor or hotel management company;

 

the public perception of the franchise or hotel chain service mark; and

 

the duration of the franchise licensing or management agreements.

 

The continuation of a franchise agreement or management agreement is subject to specified operating standards and other terms and conditions set forth in such agreements. The failure of a borrower to maintain such standards or adhere to other applicable terms and conditions, such as property improvement plans, could result in the loss or cancellation of their rights under the franchise or hotel management company agreement or management agreement. We cannot assure you that a replacement franchise could be obtained in the event of termination or that such replacement franchise affiliation would be of equal quality to the terminated franchise affiliation. In addition, replacement franchises and/or hotel property managers may require significantly higher fees as well as the investment of capital to bring the hotel property into compliance with the requirements of the replacement franchisor and/or hotel property managers. Any provision in a franchise agreement or management agreement providing for termination because of a bankruptcy of a franchisor or manager generally will not be enforceable.

 

The transferability of franchise agreements, license agreements and the property management agreements is restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender may not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent or the manager might be able to terminate the management agreement. Conversely, in the case of certain mortgage loans, the lender may be unable to remove a

 

 63

 

 

franchisor/licensor or a hotel management company that it desires to replace following a foreclosure and, further, may be limited as regards the pool of potential transferees for a foreclosure or real estate owned property.

 

In some cases where a hotel property is subject to a license or franchise agreement, the licensor or franchisor has required or may in the future require the completion of various repairs and/or renovations pursuant to a property improvement plan issued by the franchisor. Failure to complete those repairs and/or renovations in accordance with the plan could result in the hotel property losing its license or franchise. Annex A-1 and the related footnotes set forth the amount of reserves, if any, established under the related mortgage loans in connection with any of those repairs and/or renovations. We cannot assure you that any amounts reserved will be sufficient to complete the repairs and/or renovations required with respect to any affected hotel property. In addition, in some cases, those reserves will be maintained by the franchisor or property manager. Furthermore, the lender may not require a reserve for repairs and/or renovations in all instances.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hotel Properties”.

 

Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of multifamily properties, including:

 

the quality of property management;

 

the ability of management to provide adequate maintenance and insurance;

 

the types of services or amenities that the property provides;

 

the property’s reputation;

 

the level of mortgage interest rates, which may encourage tenants to purchase rather than lease housing;

 

the generally short terms of residential leases and the need for continued reletting;

 

rent concessions and month-to-month leases, which may impact cash flow at the property;

 

the tenant mix, such as the tenant population being predominantly students or being heavily dependent on workers from a particular business or industry or personnel from or workers related to a local military base or oil and/or gas drilling industries;

 

in the case of student housing facilities or properties leased primarily to students, which may be more susceptible to damage or wear and tear than other types of multifamily housing, the reliance on the financial well-being of the college or university to which it relates, competition from on campus housing units and new competitive student housing properties, which may adversely affect occupancy, the physical layout of the housing, which may not be readily convertible to traditional multifamily use, and that student tenants have a higher turnover rate than other types of multifamily tenants, which in certain cases is compounded by the fact that student leases are available for periods of less than 12 months;

 

certain multifamily properties may be considered to be “flexible apartment properties”. Such properties have a significant percentage of units leased to tenants under short-term leases (less than one year in term), which creates a higher turnover rate than for other types of multifamily properties;

 

 64

 

 

restrictions on the age of tenants who may reside at the property;

 

dependence upon governmental programs that provide rent subsidies to tenants pursuant to tenant voucher programs, which vouchers may be used at other properties and influence tenant mobility;

 

adverse local, regional or national economic conditions, which may limit the amount of rent that may be charged and may result in a reduction of timely rent payments or a reduction in occupancy levels;

 

state and local regulations, which may affect the building owner’s ability to increase rent to market rent for an equivalent apartment; and

 

the existence of government assistance/rent subsidy programs, and whether or not they continue and provide the same level of assistance or subsidies.

 

Certain states regulate the relationship of an owner and its tenants. Commonly, these laws require a written lease, good cause for eviction, disclosure of fees, and notification to residents of changed land use, while prohibiting unreasonable rules, retaliatory evictions, and restrictions on a resident’s choice of unit vendors. Apartment building owners have been the subject of suits under state “Unfair and Deceptive Practices Acts” and other general consumer protection statutes for coercive, abusive or unconscionable leasing and sales practices. A few states offer more significant protection. For example, there are provisions that limit the bases on which a landlord may terminate a tenancy or increase its rent or prohibit a landlord from terminating a tenancy solely by reason of the sale of the owner’s building.

 

In addition to state regulation of the landlord tenant relationship, numerous counties and municipalities impose rent control on apartment buildings. These ordinances may limit rent increases to fixed percentages, to percentages of increases in the consumer price index, to increases set or approved by a governmental agency, or to increases determined through mediation or binding arbitration. Any limitations on a borrower’s ability to raise property rents may impair such borrower’s ability to repay its multifamily loan from its net operating income or the proceeds of a sale or refinancing of the related multifamily property.

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may be secured in the future by mortgaged properties that are subject to certain affordable housing covenants and other covenants and restrictions with respect to various tax credit, city, state and federal housing subsidies, rent stabilization or similar programs, in respect of various units within the mortgaged properties. The limitations and restrictions imposed by these programs could result in losses on the mortgage loans. In addition, in the event that the program is cancelled, it could result in less income for the project. These programs may include, among others:

 

rent limitations that would adversely affect the ability of borrowers to increase rents to maintain the condition of their mortgaged properties and satisfy operating expenses; and

 

tenant income restrictions that may reduce the number of eligible tenants in those mortgaged properties and result in a reduction in occupancy rates.

 

The difference in rents between subsidized or supported properties and other multifamily rental properties in the same area may not be a sufficient economic incentive for some eligible tenants to reside at a subsidized or supported property that may have fewer amenities or be less attractive as a residence. As a result, occupancy levels at a subsidized or supported property may decline, which may adversely affect the value and successful operation of such property.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Multifamily Properties”.

 

Mixed Use Properties Have Special Risks

 

Certain properties are mixed use properties. Such mortgaged property is subject to the risks relating to the property types described in “—Office Properties Have Special Risks”, “—Hotel Properties Have Special

 

 65

 

 

Risks”, “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”. See Annex A-1 for the 5 largest tenants (by net rentable area leased) at the mixed use properties. A mixed use property may be subject to additional risks, including the property manager’s inexperience in managing the different property types that comprise such mixed use property.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Mixed Use Properties”.

 

Data Center Properties Have Special Risks

 

The primary function of a data center is to provide a secure location for back-up data storage. Data centers are subject to similar risks as office buildings. However, the value of a data center will also be affected by its telecommunications capacity, availability of sufficient power, and availability of support systems including environmental, temperature and hazard risk control, physical security, and redundant backup systems. As data centers contain sensitive and highly costly equipment and connections, they are subject to heightened risk in the event of fire, natural disaster or terrorism. In addition, data centers can be the subject of build-to-suit construction to specific user requirements. As such, if the lease with a data center user is terminated for any reason, the cost and time to adapt the space to other users may be considerable. Further, data center properties may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable, or if the leased spaces were to become vacant, for any reason. See “—Office Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”.

 

Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements

 

The management and operation of a condominium is generally controlled by a condominium board representing the owners of the individual condominium units, subject to the terms of the related condominium rules or by-laws. Generally, the consent of a majority of the board members is required for any actions of the condominium board and a unit owner’s ability to control decisions of the board are generally related to the number of units owned by such owner as a percentage of the total number of units in the condominium. In certain cases, the related borrower does not have a majority of votes on the condominium board, which result in the related borrower not having control of the related condominium or owners association.

 

The board of managers or directors of the related condominium generally has discretion to make decisions affecting the condominium, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower under a mortgage loan secured by one or more interests in that condominium will have any control over decisions made by the related board of managers or directors. Even if a borrower or its designated board members, either through control of the appointment and voting of sufficient members of the related condominium board or by virtue of other provisions in the related condominium documents, has consent rights over actions by the related condominium associations or owners, we cannot assure you that the related condominium board will not take actions that would materially adversely affect the related borrower’s unit. Thus, decisions made by that board of managers or directors, including regarding assessments to be paid by the unit owners, insurance to be maintained on the condominium and many other decisions affecting the maintenance of that condominium, may have a significant adverse impact on the related mortgage loans in the issuing entity that are secured by mortgaged properties consisting of such condominium interests. We cannot assure you that the related board of managers or directors will always act in the best interests of the related borrower under the related mortgage loans.

 

The condominium board is generally responsible for administration of the affairs of the condominium, including providing for maintenance and repair of common areas, adopting rules and regulations regarding common areas, and obtaining insurance and repairing and restoring the common areas of the property after a casualty. Notwithstanding the insurance and casualty provisions of the related mortgage loan documents, the condominium board may have the right to control the use of casualty proceeds.

 

In addition, the condominium board generally has the right to assess individual unit owners for their share of expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the common elements. In the event that an

 

 66

 

  

owner of another unit fails to pay its allocated assessments, the related borrower may be required to pay such assessments in order to properly maintain and operate the common elements of the property. Although the condominium board generally may obtain a lien against any unit owner for common expenses that are not paid, such lien generally is extinguished if a lender takes possession pursuant to a foreclosure. Each unit owner is responsible for maintenance of its respective unit and retains essential operational control over its unit.

 

In addition, due to the nature of condominiums, a default on the part of the borrower with respect to such mortgaged properties will not allow the special servicer the same flexibility in realizing on the collateral as-is generally available with respect to commercial properties that are not condominium units. The rights of other unit or property owners, the documents governing the management of the condominium units and the state and local laws applicable to condominium units must be considered. In addition, in the event of a casualty with respect to a condominium, due to the possible existence of multiple loss payees on any insurance policy covering such property, there could be a delay in the allocation of related insurance proceeds, if any. Consequently, servicing and realizing upon the collateral described above could subject the certificateholders to a greater delay, expense and risk than with respect to a mortgage loan secured by a commercial property that is not a condominium unit.

 

Certain condominium declarations and/or local laws provide for the withdrawal of a property from a condominium structure under certain circumstances. See also “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” for certain risks relating to use restrictions imposed pursuant to condominium declarations or other condominium especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Condominium Interests”.

 

Operation of a Mortgaged Property Depends on the Property Manager’s Performance

 

The successful operation of a real estate project depends upon the property manager’s performance and viability. The property manager is responsible for:

 

responding to changes in the local market;

 

planning and implementing the rental structure;

 

operating the property and providing building services;

 

managing operating expenses; and

 

assuring that maintenance and capital improvements are carried out in a timely fashion.

 

Properties deriving revenues primarily from short term sources, such as hotel guests or short term or month to month leases, are generally more management intensive than properties leased to creditworthy tenants under long term leases.

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties will be managed by affiliates of the related borrower. If a mortgage loan is in default or undergoing special servicing, such relationship could disrupt the management of the related mortgaged property, which may adversely affect cash flow. However, the related mortgage loans will generally permit, in the case of mortgaged properties managed by borrower affiliates, the lender to remove the related property manager upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mortgage loan beyond applicable cure periods (or, in some cases, in the event of a foreclosure following such default), and in some cases a decline in cash flow below a specified level or the failure to satisfy some other specified performance trigger.

 

 67

 

 

Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses

 

The effect of mortgage pool loan losses will be more severe if the losses relate to mortgage loans that account for a disproportionately large percentage of the pool’s aggregate principal balance. As mortgage loans pay down or properties are released, the remaining mortgage loans may face a higher risk with respect to the diversity of property types and property characteristics and with respect to the number of borrowers.

 

See the tables entitled “Remaining Term to Maturity/ARD in Months” in Annex A-2 for a stratification of the remaining terms to maturity of the mortgage loans. Because principal on the certificates is payable in sequential order of payment priority, and a class receives principal only after the preceding class(es) have been paid in full, classes that have a lower sequential priority are more likely to face these types of risk of concentration than classes with a higher sequential priority.

 

Several of the mortgage loans have cut-off date balances that are substantially higher than the average cut-off date balance. In general, concentrations in mortgage loans with larger-than-average balances can result in losses that are more severe, relative to the size of the mortgage loan pool, than would be the case if the aggregate balance of the mortgage loan pool were more evenly distributed.

 

A concentration of mortgage loans secured by the same mortgaged property types can increase the risk that a decline in a particular industry or business would have a disproportionately large impact on the pool of mortgage loans. Mortgaged property types representing more than 5.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are office, retail, industrial, hotel or multifamily properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types” for information on the types of mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

 

Repayments by borrowers and the market value of the related mortgaged properties could be affected by economic conditions generally or specific to particular geographic areas or regions of the United States, and concentrations of mortgaged properties in particular geographic areas may increase the risk that conditions in the real estate market where the mortgaged property is located, or other adverse economic or other developments or natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, forest fires, tornadoes or hurricanes or changes in governmental rules or fiscal policies) affecting a particular region of the country, could increase the frequency and severity of losses on mortgage loans secured by those mortgaged properties.

 

Mortgaged properties securing 5.0% or more of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are located in Texas, California, New York, Connecticut, Indiana and Florida. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties are located in areas that, based on low population density, poor economic demographics (such as higher than average unemployment rates, lower than average annual household income and/or overall loss of jobs) and/or negative trends in such regards, would be considered secondary or tertiary markets.

 

A concentration of mortgage loans with the same borrower or related borrowers also can pose increased risks:

 

if a borrower that owns or controls several mortgaged properties (whether or not all of them secure mortgage loans in the mortgage pool) experiences financial difficulty at one mortgaged property, it could defer maintenance at another mortgaged property in order to satisfy current expenses with respect to the first mortgaged property;

 

a borrower could also attempt to avert foreclosure by filing a bankruptcy petition that might have the effect of interrupting debt service payments on the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool secured by

 

 68

 

 

that borrower’s mortgaged properties (subject to the master servicer’s and the trustee’s obligation to make advances for monthly payments) for an indefinite period; and

 

mortgaged properties owned by the same borrower or related borrowers are likely to have common management, common general partners and/or common managing members increasing the risk that financial or other difficulties experienced by such related parties could have a greater impact on the pool of mortgage loans. See “—A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans” below.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” for information on the composition of the mortgage pool by property type and geographic distribution and loan concentration.

 

Adverse Environmental Conditions at or Near Mortgaged Properties May Result in Losses

 

The issuing entity could become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at an underlying mortgaged property. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay payments on the offered certificates.

 

Each of the mortgaged properties was either (i) subject to environmental site assessments prior to the time of origination of the related mortgage loan (or, in certain limited cases, after origination) including Phase I environmental site assessments or updates of previously performed Phase I environmental site assessments, or (ii) subject to a secured creditor environmental insurance policy or other environmental insurance policy. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations”.

 

We cannot assure you that the environmental assessments revealed all existing or potential environmental risks or that all adverse environmental conditions have been or will be completely abated or remediated or that any reserves, insurance or operations and maintenance plans will be sufficient to remediate the environmental conditions. Moreover, we cannot assure you that:

 

future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability; or

 

the current environmental condition of the mortgaged properties will not be adversely affected by tenants or by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the mortgaged properties (such as underground storage tanks).

 

We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgaged property that any remediation plan or any projected remedial costs or time is accurate or sufficient to complete the remediation objectives, or that no additional contamination requiring environmental investigation or remediation will not be discovered on any mortgaged property. Likewise, all environmental policies naming the lender as named insured cover certain risks or events specifically identified in the policy, but the coverage is limited by its terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions, and does not purport to cover all environmental conditions whatsoever affecting the applicable mortgaged property, and we cannot assure you that any environmental conditions currently known, suspected, or unknown and discovered in the future will be covered by the terms of the policy.

 

Before the trustee, the special servicer or the master servicer, as applicable, acquires title to a mortgaged property on behalf of the issuing entity or assumes operation of the property, it will be required to obtain an environmental assessment of such mortgaged property, or rely on a recent environmental assessment. This requirement is intended to mitigate the risk that the issuing entity will become liable under any environmental law. There is accordingly some risk that the mortgaged property will decline in value while this assessment is being obtained or remedial action is being taken. Moreover, we cannot assure you that this requirement will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability under environmental laws. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay distributions to certificateholders.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations” for additional information on environmental conditions at mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. See also representation and warranty number 42 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” for additional information.

Risks Related to Redevelopment, Expansion and Renovation at Mortgaged Properties

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties are properties which are currently undergoing or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. In addition, the related borrower may be permitted under the related mortgage loan documents, at its option and cost but subject to certain conditions, to undergo future construction, renovation or alterations of the mortgaged property. To the extent applicable, we cannot assure you that any escrow or reserve collected, if any, will be sufficient to complete the current renovation or be otherwise sufficient to satisfy any tenant improvement expenses at a mortgaged property. Failure to complete those planned improvements may have a material adverse effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

 

Certain of the hotel properties securing the mortgage loans are currently undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property improvement plans (“PIPs”). In some circumstances, these renovations or PIPs may necessitate taking a portion of the available guest rooms temporarily offline, temporarily decreasing the number of available rooms and the revenue generating capacity of the related hotel property. In other cases, these renovations may involve renovations of common spaces or external features of the related hotel property, which may cause disruptions or otherwise decrease the attractiveness of the related hotel property to potential guests. These PIPs may be required under the related franchise or management agreement and a failure to timely complete them may result in a termination or expiration of a franchise or management agreement and may be an event of default under the related mortgage loan.

 

Certain of the retail properties securing the mortgage loans are currently undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property expansions. Such renovations or expansions may be required under tenant leases and a failure to timely complete such renovations or expansions may result in a termination of such lease and may have a material adverse effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

 

We cannot assure you that current or planned redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed at all, that such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed in the time frame contemplated, or that, when and if such redevelopment, expansion or renovation is completed, such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will improve the operations at, or increase the value of, the related mortgaged property. Failure of any of the foregoing to occur could have a material negative impact on the related mortgaged property, which could affect the ability of the related borrower to repay the related mortgage loan.

 

In the event the related borrower fails to pay the costs for work completed or material delivered in connection with such ongoing redevelopment, expansion or renovation, the portion of the mortgaged property on which there are renovations may be subject to mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens that may be senior to the lien of the related mortgage loan.

 

The existence of construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may take rental units or rooms or leasable space “off-line” or otherwise make space unavailable for rental, impair access or traffic at or near the mortgaged property, or, in general, make that mortgaged property less attractive to tenants or their customers, and accordingly could have a negative effect on net operating income. In addition, any such construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may temporarily interfere with the use and operation of any portion of such mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion” for information regarding mortgaged properties which are currently undergoing

 

 70

 

 

or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. See also Annex A-3 for additional information on redevelopment, renovation and expansion at the mortgaged properties securing the 15 largest mortgage loans.

 

Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses

 

Certain mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans may have specialty use tenants and may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason.

 

For example, retail, mixed-use or office properties may have theater tenants. Properties with theater tenants are exposed to certain unique risks. Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of a theater. In addition, decreasing attendance at a theater could adversely affect revenue of the theater, which may, in turn, cause the tenant to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of theaters, any vacant theater space would not easily be converted to other uses.

 

Retail, mixed-use or office properties may also have health clubs as tenants. Several factors may adversely affect the value and successful operation of a health club, including:

 

the physical attributes of the health club (e.g., its age, appearance and layout);

 

the reputation, safety, convenience and attractiveness of the property to users;

 

management’s ability to control membership growth and attrition;

 

competition in the tenant’s marketplace from other health clubs and alternatives to health clubs; and

 

adverse changes in economic and social conditions and demographic changes (e.g., population decreases or changes in average age or income), which may result in decreased demand.

 

In addition, there may be significant costs associated with changing consumer preferences (e.g., multipurpose clubs from single-purpose clubs or varieties of equipment, classes, services and amenities). In addition, health clubs may not be readily convertible to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason. The liquidation value of any such health club consequently may be less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to changing consumer preferences for other uses.

 

Mortgaged properties may have other specialty use tenants, such as retail banks, medical and dental offices, gas and/or service stations, car washes, data centers, urgent care facilities, daycare centers and/or restaurants, as part of the mortgaged property.

 

In the case of specialty use tenants such as restaurants and theaters, aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of such properties and other retailers at the mortgaged property. Decreasing patronage at such properties could adversely affect revenue of the property, which may, in turn, cause the tenants to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings, lease defaults and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. See “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” above. Additionally, receipts at such properties are also affected not only by objective factors but by subjective factors. For instance, restaurant receipts are affected by such varied influences as the current personal income levels in the community, an individual consumer’s preference for type of food, style of dining and restaurant atmosphere, the perceived popularity of the restaurant, food safety concerns related to personal health with the handling of food items at the restaurant or by food suppliers and the actions and/or behaviors of staff and management and level of service to the customers. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of such properties, any vacant space would not easily be converted to other uses.

 

 71

 

 

Retail bank branches are specialty use tenants that are often outfitted with vaults, teller counters and other customary installations and equipment that may have required significant capital expenditures to install. The ability to lease these types of properties may be difficult due to the added cost and time to retrofitting the property to allow for other uses.

 

Mortgaged properties with specialty use tenants may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable, or the leased spaces were to become vacant, for any reason due to their unique construction requirements. In addition, converting commercial properties to alternate uses generally requires substantial capital expenditures and could result in a significant adverse effect on, or interruption of, the revenues generated by such properties.

 

In addition, a mortgaged property may not be readily convertible due to restrictive covenants related to such mortgaged property, including in the case of mortgaged properties that are subject to a condominium regime or subject to a ground lease, the use and other restrictions imposed by the condominium declaration and other related documents, especially in a situation where a mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium regime. See “—Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements” above.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties may be part of tax-reduction programs that apply only if the mortgaged properties are used for certain purposes. Such properties may be restricted from being converted to alternative uses because of such restrictions.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties have government tenants or other tenants which may have space that was “built to suit” that particular tenant’s uses and needs. For example, a government tenant may require enhanced security features that required additional construction or renovation costs and for which the related tenant may pay above market rent. However, such enhanced features may not be necessary for a new tenant (and such new tenant may not be willing to pay the higher rent associated with such features). While a government office building or government leased space may be usable as a regular office building or tenant space, the rents that may be collected in the event the government tenant does not renew its lease may be significantly lower than the rent currently collected.

 

Additionally, zoning, historical preservation or other restrictions also may prevent alternative uses. See “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” below.

 

Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties may not comply with current zoning laws, including density, use, parking, height, landscaping, open space and set back requirements, due to changes in zoning requirements after such mortgaged properties were constructed. These properties, as well as those for which variances or special permits were issued or for which non-conformity with current zoning laws is otherwise permitted, are considered to be a “legal non-conforming use” and/or the improvements are considered to be “legal non-conforming structures”. This means that the borrower is not required to alter its structure to comply with the existing or new law; however, the borrower may not be able to rebuild the premises “as-is” in the event of a substantial casualty loss. This may adversely affect the cash flow of the property following the loss. If a substantial casualty were to occur, we cannot assure you that insurance proceeds would be available to pay the mortgage loan in full. In addition, if a non-conforming use were to be discontinued and/or the property were repaired or restored in conformity with the current law, the value of the property or the revenue-producing potential of the property may not be equal to that before the casualty.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties that do not conform to current zoning laws may not be “legal non-conforming uses” or “legal non-conforming structures”. The failure of a mortgaged property to comply with zoning laws or to be a “legal non-conforming use” or “legal non-conforming structure” may adversely affect the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to continue to use it in the manner it is currently being used or may necessitate material additional expenditures to remedy non-conformities. In some cases, the related borrower has obtained law and ordinance insurance to cover additional costs that result from rebuilding the mortgaged property in accordance with current zoning requirements. However, if as a result of the applicable zoning laws the rebuilt improvements are smaller or less attractive to tenants than the original improvements, the resulting loss in income will generally not be 

 

 72

 

 

covered by law and ordinance insurance. Zoning protection insurance will generally reimburse the lender for the difference between (i) the mortgage loan balance on the date of damage loss to the mortgaged property from an insured peril and (ii) the total insurance proceeds at the time of the damage to the mortgaged property if such mortgaged property cannot be rebuilt to its former use due to new zoning ordinances.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be subject to certain use restrictions and/or operational requirements imposed pursuant to development agreements, ground leases, restrictive covenants, reciprocal easement agreements or operating agreements or historical landmark designations or, in the case of those mortgaged properties that are condominiums, condominium declarations or other condominium use restrictions or regulations, especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building. Such use restrictions could include, for example, limitations on the character of the improvements or the properties, limitations affecting noise and parking requirements, among other things, and limitations on the borrowers’ right to operate certain types of facilities within a prescribed radius. These limitations impose upon the borrower stricter requirements with respect to repairs and alterations, including following a casualty loss. These limitations could adversely affect the ability of the related borrower to lease the mortgaged property on favorable terms, thus adversely affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. In addition, any alteration, reconstruction, demolition, or new construction affecting a mortgaged property designated a historical landmark may require prior approval. Any such approval process, even if successful, could delay any redevelopment or alteration of a related property. The liquidation value of such property, to the extent subject to limitations of the kind described above or other limitations on convertibility of use, may be substantially less than would be the case if such property was readily adaptable to other uses or redevelopment. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Use Restrictions” for examples of mortgaged properties that are subject to restrictions relating to the use of the mortgaged properties.

 

Risks Relating to Inspections of Properties

 

Licensed engineers or consultants inspected the mortgaged properties at or about the time of the origination of the mortgage loans to assess items such as structural integrity of the buildings and other improvements on the mortgaged property, including exterior walls, roofing, interior construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general condition of the site, buildings and other improvements. However, we cannot assure you that all conditions requiring repair or replacement were identified. No additional property inspections were conducted in connection with the issuance of the offered certificates.

 

Risks Relating to Costs of Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

 

A borrower may be required to incur costs to comply with various existing and future federal, state or local laws and regulations applicable to the related mortgaged property, for example, zoning laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which requires all public accommodations to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by persons with disabilities. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Americans with Disabilities Act”. The expenditure of these costs or the imposition of injunctive relief, penalties or fines in connection with the borrower’s noncompliance could negatively impact the borrower’s cash flow and, consequently, its ability to pay its mortgage loan.

 

Insurance May Not Be Available or Adequate

 

Although the mortgaged properties are required to be insured, or self-insured by a sole tenant of a related building or group of buildings, against certain risks, there is a possibility of casualty loss with respect to the mortgaged properties for which insurance proceeds may not be adequate or which may result from risks not covered by insurance.

 

In addition, certain types of mortgaged properties, such as manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities, have few or no insurable buildings or improvements and thus do not have casualty insurance or low limits of casualty insurance in comparison with the related mortgage loan balances.

 

 73

 

  

In addition, hazard insurance policies will typically contain co-insurance clauses that in effect require an insured at all times to carry insurance of a specified percentage, generally 80% to 90%, of the full replacement value of the improvements on the related mortgaged property in order to recover the full amount of any partial loss. As a result, even if insurance coverage is maintained, if the insured’s coverage falls below this specified percentage, those clauses generally provide that the insurer’s liability in the event of partial loss does not exceed the lesser of (1) the replacement cost of the improvements less physical depreciation and (2) that proportion of the loss as the amount of insurance carried bears to the specified percentage of the full replacement cost of those improvements.

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties may be located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 or 4). See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

 

Furthermore, with respect to certain mortgage loans, the insurable value of the related mortgaged property as of the origination date of the related mortgage loan was lower than the principal balance of the related mortgage loan. In the event of a casualty when a borrower is not required to rebuild or cannot rebuild, we cannot assure you that the insurance required with respect to the related mortgaged property will be sufficient to pay the related mortgage loan in full and there is no “gap” insurance required under such mortgage loan to cover any difference. In those circumstances, a casualty that occurs near the maturity date may result in an extension of the maturity date of the mortgage loan if the master servicer, in accordance with the servicing standard, determines that such extension was in the best interest of certificateholders.

 

The mortgage loans do not all require flood insurance on the related mortgaged properties unless they are in a flood zone and flood insurance is available and, in certain instances, even where the related mortgaged property was in a flood zone and flood insurance was available, flood insurance was not required.

 

We cannot assure you that the borrowers will in the future be able to comply with requirements to maintain adequate insurance with respect to the mortgaged properties, and any uninsured loss could have a material adverse impact on the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates. As with all real estate, if reconstruction (for example, following fire or other casualty) or any major repair or improvement is required to the damaged property, changes in laws and governmental regulations may be applicable and may materially affect the cost to, or ability of, the borrowers to effect such reconstruction, major repair or improvement. As a result, the amount realized with respect to the mortgaged properties, and the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates, could be reduced. In addition, we cannot assure you that the amount of insurance required or provided would be sufficient to cover damages caused by any casualty, or that such insurance will be available in the future at commercially reasonable rates. See representation and warranty number 18 in Annex D-1 and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

Inadequacy of Title Insurers May Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

 

Title insurance for a mortgaged property generally insures a lender against risks relating to a lender not having a first lien with respect to a mortgaged property, and in some cases can insure a lender against

 

specific other risks. The protection afforded by title insurance depends on the ability of the title insurer to pay claims made upon it. We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgage loan:

 

a title insurer will have the ability to pay title insurance claims made upon it;

 

the title insurer will maintain its present financial strength; or

 

a title insurer will not contest claims made upon it.

 

 74

 

  

Certain of the mortgaged properties are either completing initial construction or undergoing renovation or redevelopment. Under such circumstances, there may be limitations to the amount of coverage or other exceptions to coverage that could adversely affect the issuing entity if losses are suffered.

 

Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties

 

The occurrence or the possibility of terrorist attacks could (1) lead to damage to one or more of the mortgaged properties if any terrorist attacks occur or (2) result in higher costs for security and insurance premiums or diminish the availability of insurance coverage for losses related to terrorist attacks, particularly for large properties, which could adversely affect the cash flow at those mortgaged properties.

 

After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area, all forms of insurance were impacted, particularly from a cost and availability perspective, including comprehensive general liability and business interruption or rent loss insurance policies required by typical mortgage loans. To give time for private markets to develop a pricing mechanism for terrorism risk and to build capacity to absorb future losses that may occur due to terrorism, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 was enacted on November 26, 2002, establishing the Terrorism Insurance Program. The Terrorism Insurance Program was extended through December 31, 2014 by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and was subsequently reauthorized on January 12, 2015 for a period of six years through December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“TRIPRA”).

 

The Terrorism Insurance Program requires insurance carriers to provide terrorism coverage in their basic “all-risk” policies. Any commercial property and casualty terrorism insurance exclusion that was in force on November 26, 2002 is automatically void to the extent that it excluded losses that would otherwise be insured losses. Any state approval of those types of exclusions in force on November 26, 2002 is also void.

 

Under the Terrorism Insurance Program, the federal government shares in the risk of losses occurring within the United States resulting from acts committed in an effort to influence or coerce United States civilians or the United States government. The federal share of compensation for insured losses of an insurer equals 83% in 2017 (subject to annual 1% decreases thereafter until such percentage equals 80%) of the portion of such insured losses that exceed a deductible equal to 20% of the value of the insurer’s direct earned premiums over the calendar year immediately preceding that program year. Federal compensation in any program year is capped at $100 billion (with insurers being liable for any amount that exceeds such cap), and no compensation is payable with respect to a terrorist act unless the aggregate industry losses relating to such act exceed $140 million in 2017 (subject to annual $20 million increases thereafter until such threshold equals $200 million). The Terrorism Insurance Program does not cover nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. Unless a borrower obtains separate coverage for events that do not meet the thresholds or other requirements above, such events will not be covered.

 

If the Terrorism Insurance Program is not reenacted after its expiration in 2020, premiums for terrorism insurance coverage will likely increase and the terms of such insurance policies may be materially amended to increase stated exclusions or to otherwise effectively decrease the scope of coverage available (perhaps to the point where it is effectively not available). In addition, to the extent that any insurance policies contain “sunset clauses” (i.e., clauses that void terrorism coverage if the federal insurance backstop program is not renewed), then such policies may cease to provide terrorism insurance upon the expiration of the Terrorism Insurance Program. We cannot assure you that the Terrorism Insurance Program or any successor program will create any long term changes in the availability and cost of such insurance. Moreover, future legislation, including regulations expected to be adopted by the Treasury Department pursuant to TRIPRA, may have a material effect on the availability of federal assistance in the terrorism insurance market. To the extent that uninsured or underinsured casualty losses occur with respect to the related mortgaged properties, losses on the mortgage loans may result. In addition, the failure to maintain such terrorism insurance may constitute a default under the related mortgage loan.

 

Some of the mortgage loans do not require the related borrower to maintain terrorism insurance. In addition, most of the mortgage loans contain limitations on the related borrower’s obligation to obtain

 

 75

 

 

terrorism insurance, such as (i) waiving the requirement that such borrower maintain terrorism insurance if such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates, (ii) providing that the related borrower is not required to spend in excess of a specified dollar amount (or in some cases, a specified multiple of what is spent on other insurance) in order to obtain such terrorism insurance, (iii) requiring coverage only for as long as the TRIPRA is in effect, or (iv) requiring coverage only for losses arising from domestic acts of terrorism or from terrorist acts certified by the federal government as “acts of terrorism” under the TRIPRA. See “Annex A-3—Description of Top Fifteen Mortgage Loans” for a summary of the terrorism insurance requirements under each of the 15 largest mortgage loans and representation and warranty number 31 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

We cannot assure you that all of the mortgaged properties will be insured against the risks of terrorism and similar acts. As a result of any of the foregoing, the amount available to make distributions on your certificates could be reduced.

 

Other mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans may also be insured under a blanket policy or self-insured or insured by a sole tenant. See “—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance” below.

 

Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties are covered by blanket insurance policies, which also cover other properties of the related borrower or its affiliates (including certain properties in close proximity to the mortgaged properties). In the event that such policies are drawn on to cover losses on such other properties, the amount of insurance coverage available under such policies would thereby be reduced and could be insufficient to cover each mortgaged property’s insurable risks. In addition, with respect to some of the mortgaged properties, a sole or significant tenant is allowed to provide self-insurance against risks.

 

Additionally, if the mortgage loans that allow coverage under blanket insurance policies are part of a group of mortgage loans with related borrowers, then all of the related mortgaged properties may be covered under the same blanket policy, which may also cover other properties owned by affiliates of such borrowers.

 

Certain mortgaged properties may also be insured or self-insured by a sole or significant tenant, as further described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Insurance Considerations”.

 

Condemnation of a Mortgaged Property May Adversely Affect Distributions on Certificates

 

From time to time, there may be condemnations pending or threatened against one or more of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. The proceeds payable in connection with a total condemnation may not be sufficient to restore the related mortgaged property or to satisfy the remaining indebtedness of the related mortgage loan. The occurrence of a partial condemnation may have a material adverse effect on the continued use of, or income generated by, the affected mortgaged property. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the occurrence of any condemnation will not have a negative impact upon distributions on your offered certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” in this prospectus

 

Limited Information Causes Uncertainty

 

Historical Information.

 

Some of the mortgage loans that we intend to include in the issuing entity are secured in whole or in part by mortgaged properties for which limited or no historical operating information is available. As a result, you may find it difficult to analyze the historical performance of those mortgaged properties.

 

A mortgaged property may lack prior operating history or historical financial information because it is newly constructed or renovated, it is a recent acquisition by the related borrower or it is a single-tenant

 

 76

 

 

property that is subject to a triple net lease. In addition, a tenant’s lease may contain confidentiality provisions that restrict the sponsors’ access to or disclosure of such tenant’s financial information. The underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for such mortgaged properties are derived principally from current rent rolls or tenant leases and historical expenses, adjusted to account for inflation, significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee. In some cases, underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for mortgaged properties are based all or in part on leases (or letters of intent) that are not yet in place (and may still be under negotiation) or on tenants that may have signed a lease (or letter of intent), or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy and/or paying rent), which present certain risks described in “—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Failed Assumptions” below.

 

See Annex A-1 for certain historical financial information relating to the mortgaged properties, including net operating income for the most recent reporting period and prior three (3) calendar years, to the extent available.

 

Ongoing Information.

 

The primary source of ongoing information regarding the offered certificates, including information regarding the status of the related mortgage loans and any credit support for the offered certificates, will be the periodic reports delivered to you. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional ongoing information regarding the offered certificates will be available through any other source. The limited nature of the available information in respect of the offered certificates may adversely affect their liquidity, even if a secondary market for the offered certificates does develop.

 

We are not aware of any source through which pricing information regarding the offered certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis or on any particular date.

 

Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Failed Assumptions

 

As described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Information”, underwritten net cash flow generally includes cash flow (including any cash flow from master leases) adjusted based on a number of assumptions used by the sponsors. We make no representation that the underwritten net cash flow set forth in this prospectus as of the cut-off date or any other date represents actual future net cash flows. For example, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the occupancy of the related mortgaged property reflects tenants that (i) may not have yet actually executed leases (or letters of intent), (ii) have signed leases but have not yet taken occupancy and/or are not paying full contractual rent, (iii) are seeking or may in the future seek to sublet all or a portion of their respective spaces, (iv) are “dark” tenants but paying rent, or (v) are affiliates of the related borrower and are leasing space pursuant to a master lease or a space lease. Similarly, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the underwritten net cash flow may be based on certain tenants that have not yet executed leases or that have signed leases but are not yet in place and/or are not yet paying rent, or have a signed lease or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy in all or a portion of their space and/or paying rent, or may assume that future contractual rent steps (during some or all of the remaining term of a lease) have occurred. In many cases, co-tenancy provisions were assumed to be satisfied and vacant space was assumed to be occupied and space that was due to expire was assumed to have been re-let, in each case at market rates that may have exceeded current rent. You should review these and other similar assumptions and make your own determination of the appropriate assumptions to be used in determining underwritten net cash flow.

 

In addition, underwritten or adjusted cash flows, by their nature, are speculative and are based upon certain assumptions and projections. The failure of these assumptions or projections in whole or in part could cause the underwritten net operating income (calculated as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Information”) to vary substantially from the actual net operating income of a mortgaged property.

 

 77

 

  

In the event of the inaccuracy of any assumptions or projections used in connection with the calculation of underwritten net cash flow, the actual net cash flow could be significantly different (and, in some cases, may be materially less) than the underwritten net cash flow presented in this prospectus, and this would change other numerical information presented in this prospectus based on or derived from the underwritten net cash flow, such as the debt service coverage ratios or debt yield presented in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that any such assumptions or projections made with respect to any mortgaged property will, in fact, be consistent with that mortgaged property’s actual performance.

 

Frequent and Early Occurrence of Borrower Delinquencies and Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Investment

 

If you calculate the anticipated yield of your offered certificates based on a rate of default or amount of losses lower than that actually experienced on the mortgage loans and those additional losses result in a reduction of the total distributions on, or the certificate balance of, your offered certificates, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected and could be negative under certain extreme scenarios. The timing of any loss on a liquidated mortgage loan that results in a reduction of the total distributions on or the certificate balance of your offered certificates will also affect the actual yield to maturity of your offered certificates, even if the rate of defaults and severity of losses are consistent with your expectations. In general, the earlier a loss is borne by you, the greater the effect on your yield to maturity.

 

Delinquencies on the mortgage loans, if the delinquent amounts are not advanced, may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest and/or principal to the holders of the offered certificates for the current month. Furthermore, no interest will accrue on this shortfall during the period of time that the payment is delinquent. Additionally, in instances where the principal portion of any balloon payment scheduled with respect to a mortgage loan is collected by the master servicer following the end of the related collection period, no portion of the principal received on such payment will be passed through for distribution to the certificateholders until the subsequent distribution date, which may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest to the holders of the offered certificates in the following month. Furthermore, in such instances no provision is made for the master servicer or any other party to cover any such interest shortfalls that may occur as a result. In addition, if interest and/or principal advances and/or servicing advances are made with respect to a mortgage loan after a default and the related mortgage loan is thereafter worked out under terms that do not provide for the repayment of those advances in full at the time of the workout, then any reimbursements of those advances prior to the actual collection of the amount for which the advance was made may also result in shortfalls in distributions of principal to the holders of the offered certificates with certificate balances for the current month. Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not allocated to a particular class of offered certificates with certificate balances, the losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of that class of offered certificates. In the case of any material monetary or material non-monetary default, the special servicer may accelerate the maturity of the related mortgage loan, which could result in an acceleration of principal distributions to the certificateholders. The special servicer may also extend or modify a mortgage loan, which could result in a substantial delay in principal distributions to the certificateholders. In addition, losses on the mortgage loans, even if not allocated to a class of offered certificates with certificate balances, may result in a higher percentage ownership interest evidenced by those offered certificates in the remaining mortgage loans than would otherwise have resulted absent the loss. The consequent effect on the weighted average life and yield to maturity of the offered certificates will depend upon the characteristics of those remaining mortgage loans in the trust fund.

 

The Mortgage Loans Have Not Been Reviewed or Re-Underwritten by Us; Some Mortgage Loans May Not Have Complied With Another Originator’s Underwriting Criteria

 

Although the sponsors have conducted a review of the mortgage loans to be sold to us for this securitization transaction, we, as the depositor for this securitization transaction, have neither originated the mortgage loans nor conducted a review or re-underwriting of the mortgage loans. Instead, we have relied on the representations and warranties made by the applicable sponsors and the remedies for breach of a representation and warranty as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and the sponsor’s description of its underwriting criteria described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s

 

 78

 

  

Underwriting Standards” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”. A description of the review conducted by each sponsor for this securitization transaction is set forth under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—Review of JPMCB Mortgage Loans”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC—Review of BSP Mortgage Loans” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC —Review of SMF VI Mortgage Loans”.

 

The representations and warranties made by the sponsors may not cover all of the matters that one would review in underwriting a mortgage loan and you should not view them as a substitute for re-underwriting the mortgage loans. Furthermore, these representations and warranties in some respects represent an allocation of risk rather than a confirmed description of the mortgage loans. If we had re-underwritten the mortgage loans, it is possible that the re-underwriting process may have revealed problems with a mortgage loan not covered by a representation or warranty or may have revealed inaccuracies in the representations and warranties. See “—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

In addition, we cannot assure you that all of the mortgage loans would have complied with the underwriting criteria of the other originators or, accordingly, that each originator would have made the same decision to originate every mortgage loan included in the issuing entity or, if they did decide to originate an unrelated mortgage loan, that they would have been underwritten on the same terms and conditions.

 

As a result of the foregoing, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

 

Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool

 

As a result of the distinct nature of each pool of commercial mortgage loans, and the separate mortgage loans within the pool, this prospectus does not include disclosure concerning the delinquency and loss experience of static pools of periodic originations by any sponsor of assets of the type to be securitized (known as “static pool data”). In particular, static pool data showing a low level of delinquencies and defaults would not be indicative of the performance of this pool or any other pools of mortgage loans originated by the same sponsor or sponsors.

 

While there may be certain common factors affecting the performance and value of income-producing real properties in general, those factors do not apply equally to all income-producing real properties and, in many cases, there are unique factors that will affect the performance and/or value of a particular income-producing real property. Moreover, the effect of a given factor on a particular real property will depend on a number of variables, including but not limited to property type, geographic location, competition, sponsorship and other characteristics of the property and the related commercial mortgage loan. Each income-producing real property represents a separate and distinct business venture and, as a result, each of the mortgage loans requires a unique underwriting analysis. Furthermore, economic and other conditions affecting real properties, whether worldwide, national, regional or local, vary over time. The performance of a pool of mortgage loans originated and outstanding under a given set of economic conditions may vary significantly from the performance of an otherwise comparable mortgage pool originated and outstanding under a different set of economic conditions.

 

Therefore, you should evaluate this offering on the basis of the information set forth in this prospectus with respect to the mortgage loans, and not on the basis of the performance of other pools of securitized commercial mortgage loans.

 

Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property

 

Appraisals were obtained with respect to each of the mortgaged properties at or about the time of origination of the applicable mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or at or around the time of the

 

 79

 

  

acquisition of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) by the related sponsor. See Annex A-1 for the dates of the latest appraisals for the mortgaged properties. We have not obtained new appraisals of the mortgaged properties or assigned new valuations to the mortgage loans in connection with the offering of the offered certificates. The market values of the mortgaged properties could have declined since the origination of the related mortgage loans.

 

In general, appraisals represent the analysis and opinion of qualified appraisers and are not guarantees of present or future value. One appraiser may reach a different conclusion than that of a different appraiser with respect to the same property. The appraisals seek to establish the amount a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller and, in certain cases, may have taken into consideration the purchase price paid by the borrower. The amount could be significantly higher than the amount obtained from the sale of a mortgaged property in a distress or liquidation sale.

 

Information regarding the appraised values of the mortgaged properties (including loan-to-value ratios) presented in this prospectus is not intended to be a representation as to the past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties. For example, in some cases, a borrower or its affiliate may have acquired the related mortgaged property for a price or otherwise for consideration in an amount that is less than the related appraised value specified on Annex A-1, including at a foreclosure sale or through acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Historical operating results of the mortgaged properties used in these appraisals, as adjusted by various assumptions, estimates and subjective judgments on the part of the appraiser, may not be comparable to future operating results. In addition, certain appraisals may be based on extraordinary assumptions, including without limitation, that certain tenants are in-place and paying rent when such tenants have not yet taken occupancy or that certain renovations or property improvement plans have been completed. Additionally, certain appraisals with respect to mortgage loans secured by multiple mortgaged properties may have been conducted on a portfolio basis rather than on an individual property basis, and the sum of the values of the individual properties may be different from (and in some cases may be less than) the appraised value of the aggregate of such properties on a portfolio basis. In addition, other factors may impair the mortgaged properties’ value without affecting their current net operating income, including:

 

changes in governmental regulations, zoning or tax laws;

 

potential environmental or other legal liabilities;

 

the availability of refinancing; and

 

changes in interest rate levels.

 

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values or values other than “as-is”. However, the appraised value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each mortgaged property, except as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, reflects only the “as-is” value (or, in certain cases, may reflect certain other than “as-is” values) as a result of the satisfaction of the related conditions or assumptions unless otherwise specified), which may contain certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting or increased tenant occupancies. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

 

Additionally, with respect to the appraisals setting forth assumptions, particularly those setting forth extraordinary assumptions, as to the “as-is” values and values other than “as-is”, we cannot assure you that those assumptions are or will be accurate or that any values other than “as-is” will be the value of the related mortgaged property at any indicated stabilization date or at maturity. Any engineering report, site inspection or appraisal represents only the analysis of the individual consultant, engineer or inspector preparing such report at the time of such report, and may not reveal all necessary or desirable repairs, maintenance and capital improvement items. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes” for additional information regarding the appraisals. We cannot assure you that the information set forth in this prospectus

 

 80

 

 

 regarding the appraised values or loan-to-value ratios accurately reflects past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties or the amount that would be realized upon a sale of the related mortgaged property.

 

The Performance of a Mortgage Loan and Its Related Mortgaged Property Depends in Part on Who Controls the Borrower and Mortgaged Property

 

The operation and performance of a mortgage loan will depend in part on the identity of the persons or entities who control the borrower and the mortgaged property. The performance of a mortgage loan may be adversely affected if control of a borrower changes, which may occur, for example, by means of transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower, or if the mortgage loan is assigned to and assumed by another person or entity along with a transfer of the property to that person or entity.

 

Many of the mortgage loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, although some have current or permit future mezzanine or subordinate debt. We cannot assure you the ownership of any of the borrowers would not change during the term of the related mortgage loan and result in a material adverse effect on your certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions”.

 

The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks

 

The borrowers are legal entities rather than individuals. Mortgage loans made to legal entities may entail greater risks of loss than those associated with mortgage loans made to individuals. For example, a legal entity, as opposed to an individual, may be more inclined to seek legal protection from its creditors under the bankruptcy laws. Unlike individuals involved in bankruptcies, most entities generally, but not in all cases, do not have personal assets and creditworthiness at stake.

 

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans require that the borrowers be single-purpose entities and, in most cases, such borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of the mortgage loans limit their activities to the ownership of only the related mortgaged property or mortgaged properties and limit the borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such provisions are designed to mitigate the possibility that the borrower’s financial condition would be adversely impacted by factors unrelated to the related mortgaged property and mortgage loan. Such borrower may also have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property or may be a so-called “recycled” single-purpose entity that previously had other business activities and liabilities. However, we cannot assure you that such borrowers have in the past complied, and will comply, with such requirements, and in some cases unsecured debt exists and/or is allowed in the future. Furthermore, in many cases such borrowers are not required to observe all covenants and conditions which typically are required in order for such borrowers to be viewed under standard rating agency criteria as “single purpose entities”.

 

Although a borrower may currently be a single purpose entity, in certain cases the borrowers were not originally formed as single purpose entities, but at origination of the related mortgage loan their organizational documents were amended. That borrower may have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property and may not have observed all covenants that typically are required to consider a borrower a “single purpose entity” and thus may have liabilities arising from events prior to becoming a single purpose entity.

 

The organizational documents of a borrower or the direct or indirect managing partner or member of a borrower may also contain requirements that there be one or two independent directors, managers or trustees (depending on the entity form of such borrower) whose vote is required before the borrower files a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition or otherwise institutes insolvency proceedings. Generally, but not always, the independent directors, managers or trustees may only be replaced with certain other independent successors. Although the requirement of having independent directors, managers or trustees is designed to mitigate the risk of a voluntary bankruptcy filing by a solvent borrower, a borrower could file for bankruptcy without obtaining the consent of its independent director(s) (and we cannot assure you that

 

 81

 

 

such bankruptcy would be dismissed as an unauthorized filing), and in any case the independent directors, managers or trustees may determine that a bankruptcy filing is an appropriate course of action to be taken by such borrower. Although the independent directors, managers or trustees generally owe no fiduciary duties to entities other than the borrower itself, such determination might take into account the interests and financial condition of such borrower’s parent entities and such parent entities’ other subsidiaries in addition to those of the borrower. Consequently, the financial distress of an affiliate of a borrower might increase the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing by a borrower.

 

The bankruptcy of a borrower, or a general partner or managing member of a borrower, may impair the ability of the lender to enforce its rights and remedies under the related mortgage. Certain of the mortgage loans have been made to single purpose limited partnerships that have a general partner or general partners that are not themselves single purpose entities. Such loans are subject to additional bankruptcy risk. The organizational documents of the general partner in such cases do not limit it to acting as the general partner of the partnership. Accordingly there is a greater risk that the general partner may become insolvent for reasons unrelated to the mortgaged property. The bankruptcy of a general partner may dissolve the partnership under applicable state law. In addition, even if the partnership itself is not insolvent, actions by the partnership and/or a bankrupt general partner that are outside the ordinary course of their business, such as refinancing the related mortgage loan, may require prior approval of the bankruptcy court in the general partner’s bankruptcy case. The proceedings required to resolve these issues may be costly and time-consuming.

 

Any borrower, even an entity structured as a single purpose entity, as an owner of real estate, will be subject to certain potential liabilities and risks as an owner of real estate. We cannot assure you that any borrower will not file for bankruptcy protection or that creditors of a borrower or a corporate or individual general partner or managing member of a borrower will not initiate a bankruptcy or similar proceeding against such borrower or corporate or individual general partner or managing member.

 

Certain borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of certain mortgage loans permit an affiliated property manager to maintain a custodial account on behalf of such borrower and certain affiliates of such borrower into which funds available to such borrower under the terms of the related mortgage loans and funds of such affiliates are held, but which funds are and will continue to be separately accounted for as to each item of income and expense for each related mortgaged property and each related borrower. A custodial account structure for affiliated entities, while common among certain REITs, institutions or independent owners of multiple properties, presents a risk for consolidation of the assets of such affiliates as commingling of funds is a factor a court may consider in considering a request by other creditors for substantive consolidation. Substantive consolidation is an equitable remedy that could result in an otherwise solvent company becoming subject to the bankruptcy proceedings of an insolvent affiliate, making its assets available to repay the debts of affiliated companies. A court has the discretion to order substantive consolidation in whole or in part and may include non-debtor affiliates of the bankrupt entity in the proceedings. In particular, consolidation may be ordered when corporate funds are commingled and used for a principal’s personal purposes, inadequate records of transfers are made and corporate entities are deemed an alter ego of a principal. Strict adherence to maintaining separate books and records, avoiding commingling of assets and otherwise maintaining corporate policies designed to preserve the separateness of corporate assets and liabilities make it less likely that a court would order substantive consolidation, but we cannot assure you that the related borrowers, property managers or affiliates will comply with these requirements as set forth in the related mortgage loans.

 

Furthermore, with respect to any affiliated borrowers, creditors of a common parent in bankruptcy may seek to consolidate the assets of such borrowers with those of the parent. Consolidation of the assets of such borrowers would likely have an adverse effect on the funds available to make distributions on your certificates, and may lead to a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of your certificates.

 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

In addition, borrowers may own a mortgaged property as a Delaware statutory trust or as tenants-in-common. Delaware statutory trusts may be restricted in their ability to actively operate a property, and in the case of a mortgaged property that is owned by a Delaware statutory trust or by

 

 82

 

  

tenants-in-common, there is a risk that obtaining the consent of the holders of the beneficial interests in the Delaware statutory trust or the consent of the tenants-in-common will be time consuming and cause delays with respect to the taking of certain actions by or on behalf of the borrower, including with respect to the related mortgaged property. See “—Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery” below.

 

A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans

 

Numerous statutory provisions, including the federal bankruptcy code and state laws affording relief to debtors, may interfere with and delay the ability of a secured mortgage lender to obtain payment of a loan, to realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the federal bankruptcy code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, and, often, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy proceeding. Also, under federal bankruptcy law, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. Certain of the mortgage loans have sponsors that have previously filed bankruptcy and we cannot assure you that such sponsors will not be more likely than other sponsors to utilize their rights in bankruptcy in the event of any threatened action by the mortgagee to enforce its rights under the related mortgage loan documents. As a result, the issuing entity’s recovery with respect to borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings may be significantly delayed, and the aggregate amount ultimately collected may be substantially less than the amount owed. See “—Other Financings or Ability To Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk” below, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Additionally, the courts of any state may refuse the foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust when an acceleration of the indebtedness would be inequitable or unjust or the circumstances would render the action unconscionable. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

 

See also “—Performance of the Mortgage Loan Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” above.

 

Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions

 

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, the borrowers, the borrower sponsors and the managers of the mortgaged properties and their respective affiliates arising out of their ordinary business. We have not undertaken a search for all legal proceedings that relate to the borrowers, borrower sponsors or managers for the mortgaged properties and their respective affiliates. Potential investors are advised and encouraged to perform their own searches related to such matters to the extent relevant to their investment decision. Any such litigation or dispute may materially impair distributions to certificateholders if borrowers must use property income to pay judgments, legal fees or litigation costs. We cannot assure you that any litigation or dispute or any settlement of any litigation or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on your investment. 

 

Additionally, a borrower or a principal of a borrower or affiliate may have been a party to a bankruptcy, foreclosure, litigation or other proceeding, particularly against a lender, or has been convicted of a crime in the past. In addition, certain of the borrower sponsors, property managers, affiliates of any of the foregoing and/or entities controlled thereby have been a party to bankruptcy proceedings, mortgage loan defaults and restructures, discounted payoffs, foreclosure proceedings or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions, or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings) in the past, whether or not related to the mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan in this securitization transaction. In certain cases, a mortgaged property securing one of the mortgage loans may have previously secured another loan that had been in default.

 

Certain of the borrower sponsors may have a history of litigation or other proceedings against their lender, in some cases involving various parties to a securitization transaction. We cannot assure you that the borrower sponsors that have engaged in litigation or other proceedings in the past will not commence action against the issuing entity in the future upon any attempt by the special servicer to enforce the

 

 83

 

  

mortgage loan documents. Any such actions by the borrower or borrower sponsor may result in significant expense and potential loss to the issuing entity and a shortfall in funds available to make payments on the offered certificates. In addition, certain principals or borrower sponsors may have in the past been convicted of, or pled guilty to, a felony. We cannot assure you that the borrower or principal will not be more likely than other borrowers or principals to avail itself or cause a borrower to avail itself of its legal rights, under the federal bankruptcy code or otherwise, in the event of an action or threatened action by the lender or its servicer to enforce the related mortgage loan documents, or otherwise conduct its operations in a manner that is in the best interests of the lender and/or the mortgaged property. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings or actions will not have a material adverse effect upon distributions on your certificates. Further, borrowers, principals of borrowers, property managers and affiliates of such parties may, in the future, be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings), whether or not related to the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings will not negatively impact a borrower’s or borrower sponsor’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan and, as a result could have a material adverse effect upon your certificates.

 

Often it is difficult to confirm the identity of owners of all of the equity in a borrower, which means that past issues may not be discovered as to such owners. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” and “—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for additional information on certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. However, we cannot assure you that there are no undisclosed bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure transaction and/or mortgage loan workout matters that involved one or more mortgage loans or mortgaged properties, and/or a guarantor, borrower sponsor or other party to a mortgage loan.

 

In addition, in the event the owner of a borrower experiences financial problems, we cannot assure you that such owner would not attempt to take actions with respect to the mortgaged property that may adversely affect the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” for information regarding litigation matters with respect to certain mortgage loans.

 

Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk

 

When a borrower (or its constituent members) also has one or more other outstanding loans (even if they are pari passu, subordinated, mezzanine, preferred equity or unsecured loans or another type of equity pledge), the issuing entity is subjected to additional risk such as:

 

the borrower (or its constituent members) may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple financings;

 

the existence of other financings will generally also make it more difficult for the borrower to obtain refinancing of the related mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or sell the related mortgaged property and may thereby jeopardize repayment of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable);

  

the need to service additional financings may reduce the cash flow available to the borrower to operate and maintain the mortgaged property and the value of the mortgaged property may decline as a result;

 

if a borrower (or its constituent members) defaults on its mortgage loan and/or any other financing, actions taken by other lenders such as a suit for collection, foreclosure or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy against the borrower could impair the security available to the issuing entity, including the mortgaged property, or stay the issuing entity’s ability to foreclose during the course of the bankruptcy case;

 

the bankruptcy of another lender also may operate to stay foreclosure by the issuing entity; and

 

 84

 

 

the issuing entity may also be subject to the costs and administrative burdens of involvement in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings or related litigation.

 

Although the companion loans related to the whole loans are not assets of the issuing entity, each related borrower is still obligated to make interest and principal payments on such companion loans. As a result, the issuing entity is subject to additional risks, including:

 

the risk that the necessary maintenance of the related mortgaged property could be deferred to allow the borrower to pay the required debt service on these other obligations and that the value of the mortgaged property may fall as a result; and

 

the risk that it may be more difficult for the borrower to refinance these loans or to sell the related mortgaged property for purposes of making any balloon payment on the entire balance of such loans and the related additional debt at maturity.

 

With respect to mezzanine financing (if any), while a mezzanine lender has no security interest in the related mortgaged properties, a default under a mezzanine loan could cause a change in control of the related borrower. With respect to mortgage loans that permit mezzanine financing, the relative rights of the mortgagee and the related mezzanine lender will generally be set forth in an intercreditor agreement, which agreements typically provide that the rights of the mezzanine lender (including the right to payment) against the borrower and mortgaged property are subordinate to the rights of the mortgage lender and that the mezzanine lender may not take any enforcement action against the mortgage borrower and mortgaged property.

 

In addition, the mortgage loan documents related to certain mortgage loans may have or permit future “preferred equity” structures, where one or more special limited partners or members receive a preferred return in exchange for an infusion of capital or other type of equity pledge that may require payments of a specified return or of excess cash flow. Such arrangements can present risks that resemble mezzanine debt, including dilution of the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property, stress on the cash flow in the form of a preferred return or excess cash payments, and/or potential changes in the management of the related mortgaged property in the event the preferred return is not satisfied.

 

Additionally, the terms of certain mortgage loans permit or require the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the related mortgage loan, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee.

 

In addition, borrowers under most of the mortgage loans are generally permitted to incur trade payables and equipment financing, which may not be limited or may be significant, in order to operate the related mortgaged properties. Also, with respect to certain mortgage loans the related borrower either has incurred or is permitted to incur unsecured debt from an affiliate of either the borrower or the borrower sponsor. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Other Indebtedness”.

 

For additional information, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery

 

Certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity have borrowers that own the related mortgaged properties as tenants-in-common. In general, with respect to a tenant-in-common ownership structure, each tenant-in-common owns an undivided share in the property and if such tenant-in-common desires to sell its interest in the property (and is unable to find a buyer or otherwise needs to force a partition) the tenant-in-common has the ability to request that a court order a sale of the property and distribute the proceeds to each tenant in common proportionally. As a result, if a tenant-in-common that has not waived its right of partition or similar right exercises a right of partition, the related mortgage loan may be subject to prepayment. The bankruptcy, dissolution or action for partition by one or more of the tenants-in-common could result in an early repayment of the related mortgage loan, significant delay in

 

 85

 

  

recovery against the tenant-in-common borrowers, particularly if the tenant-in-common borrowers file for bankruptcy separately or in series (because each time a tenant-in-common borrower files for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court stay will be reinstated), a material impairment in property management and a substantial decrease in the amount recoverable upon the related mortgage loan. Not all tenants-in-common under the mortgage loans will be single purpose entities. Each tenant-in-common borrower has waived its right to partition, reducing the risk of partition. However, we cannot assure you that, if challenged, this waiver would be enforceable. In addition, in some cases, the related mortgage loan documents may provide for full recourse (or in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the debt) to the related tenant-in-common borrower or the guarantor if a tenant-in-common files for partition.

 

Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions

 

Provisions requiring yield maintenance charges, prepayment premiums or lockout periods may not be enforceable in some states and under federal bankruptcy law. Provisions requiring prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges also may be interpreted as constituting the collection of interest for usury purposes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the obligation to pay a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium will be enforceable. Also, we cannot assure you that foreclosure proceeds will be sufficient to pay an enforceable yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium.

 

Additionally, although the collateral substitution provisions related to defeasance do not have the same effect on the certificateholders as prepayment, we cannot assure you that a court would not interpret those provisions as the equivalent of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium. In certain jurisdictions those collateral substitution provisions might therefore be deemed unenforceable or usurious under applicable law or public policy.

 

Risks Associated with One Action Rules

 

Several states (such as California) have laws that prohibit more than one “judicial action” to enforce a mortgage obligation, and some courts have construed the term “judicial action” broadly. Accordingly, the special servicer will be required to obtain advice of counsel prior to enforcing any of the issuing entity’s rights under any of the mortgage loans that include mortgaged properties where a “one action” rule could be applicable. In the case of a multi property mortgage loan which is secured by mortgaged properties located in multiple states, the special servicer may be required to foreclose first on properties located in states where “one action” rules apply (and where non judicial foreclosure is permitted) before foreclosing on properties located in states where judicial foreclosure is the only permitted method of foreclosure. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

 

State Law Limitations on Assignments of Leases and Rents May Entail Risks

 

Generally mortgage loans included in an issuing entity secured by mortgaged properties that are subject to leases typically will be secured by an assignment of leases and rents pursuant to which the related borrower (or with respect to any indemnity deed of trust structure, the related property owner) assigns to the lender its right, title and interest as landlord under the leases of the related mortgaged properties, and the income derived from those leases, as further security for the related mortgage loan, while retaining a license to collect rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the lender is entitled to collect rents. Some state laws may require that the lender take possession of the related property and obtain a judicial appointment of a receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents. In addition, if bankruptcy or similar proceedings are commenced by or in respect of the borrower, the lender’s ability to collect the rents may be adversely affected. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Leases and Rents” and “—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Various Other Laws Could Affect the Exercise of Lender’s Rights

 

The laws of the jurisdictions in which the mortgaged properties are located (which laws may vary substantially) govern many of the legal aspects of the mortgage loans. These laws may affect the ability to

 

 86

 

  

foreclose on, and, in turn the ability to realize value from, the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. For example, state law determines:

 

what proceedings are required for foreclosure;

 

whether the borrower and any foreclosed junior lienors may redeem the property and the conditions under which these rights of redemption may be exercised;

 

whether and to what extent recourse to the borrower is permitted; and

 

what rights junior mortgagees have and whether the amount of fees and interest that lenders may charge is limited.

 

In addition, the laws of some jurisdictions may render certain provisions of the mortgage loans unenforceable or subject to limitations which may affect lender’s rights under the mortgage loans. Delays in liquidations of defaulted loans and shortfalls in amounts realized upon liquidation as a result of the application of these laws may create delays and shortfalls in payments to certificateholders. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans”.

 

The Absence of Lockboxes Entails Risks That Could Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may not require the related borrower presently to cause rent and other payments to be made into a lockbox account maintained on behalf of the mortgagee, although some of those mortgage loans do provide for a springing lockbox. If rental payments are not required to be made directly into a lockbox account, there is a risk that the borrower will divert such funds for other purposes.

 

Borrower May Be Unable To Repay Remaining Principal Balance on Maturity Date; Longer Amortization Schedules and Interest-Only Provisions Increase Risk

 

Mortgage loans with substantial remaining principal balances at their stated maturity date involve greater risk than fully-amortizing mortgage loans. This is because the borrower may be unable to repay the mortgage loan at that time. In addition, fully amortizing mortgage loans which may pay interest on an “actual/360” basis but have fixed monthly payments may, in effect, have a small balloon payment due at maturity.

 

All of the mortgage loans have amortization schedules that are significantly longer than their respective terms to maturity and many of the mortgage loans require only payments of interest for part or all of their respective terms. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Due Dates; Mortgage Rates; Calculations of Interest”. A longer amortization schedule or an interest-only provision in a mortgage loan will result in a higher amount of principal outstanding under the mortgage loan at any particular time, including at the maturity date of the mortgage loan, than would have otherwise been the case had a shorter amortization schedule been used or had the mortgage loan had a shorter interest-only period or not included an interest-only provision at all. That higher principal amount outstanding could both (i) make it more difficult for the related borrower to make the required balloon payment at maturity and (ii) lead to increased losses for the issuing entity either during the loan term or at maturity if the mortgage loan becomes a defaulted loan.

 

A borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage loan on its stated maturity date typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the mortgaged property at a price sufficient to permit repayment. A borrower’s ability to achieve either of these goals will be affected by a number of factors, including:

 

the availability of, and competition for, credit for commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community real estate projects, which fluctuate over time;

 

the prevailing interest rates;

 

 87

 

 

the net operating income generated by the mortgaged property;

 

the fair market value of the related mortgaged property;

 

the borrower’s equity in the related mortgaged property;

 

significant tenant rollover at the related mortgaged properties (see “—Office Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” above);

 

the borrower’s financial condition;

 

the operating history and occupancy level of the mortgaged property;

 

reductions in applicable government assistance/rent subsidy programs;

 

the tax laws; and

 

prevailing general and regional economic conditions.

 

With respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, the risks relating to balloon payment obligations are enhanced by the existence and amount of the related companion loans.

 

None of the sponsors, any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or any other person will be under any obligation to refinance any mortgage loan. However, in order to maximize recoveries on defaulted loans, the pooling and servicing agreement permits the special servicer (and the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans may permit the related special servicer) to extend and modify mortgage loans in a manner consistent with the servicing standard, subject to the limitations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”.

 

Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have the ability to extend or modify a non-serviced mortgage loan because such mortgage loan is being serviced by a master servicer or special servicer pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the applicable non-serviced whole loan. See “Pooling and Servicing AgreementServicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

We cannot assure you that any extension or modification will increase the present value of recoveries in a given case. Whether or not losses are ultimately sustained, any delay in collection of a balloon payment that would otherwise be distributable on your certificates, whether such delay is due to borrower default or to modification of the related mortgage loan, will likely extend the weighted average life of your certificates.

 

In any event, we cannot assure you that each borrower under a balloon loan will have the ability to repay the principal balance of such mortgage loan on the related maturity date.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics”.

 

Risks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests

 

With respect to certain mortgaged properties, the encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the mortgaged property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the mortgaged property, such portion is not material to the use or operation of the mortgaged property), or (ii) the mortgage loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the mortgaged property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related mortgaged property.

 

Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the related borrower’s

 

 88

 

  

leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the lender would lose its security in the leasehold interest. Generally, each related ground lease or a lessor estoppel requires the lessor to give the lender notice of the borrower’s defaults under the ground lease and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold interest to be assigned to the lender or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, in some cases only upon the consent of the lessor, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease, although not all these protective provisions are included in each case.

 

Upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a ground lease, the debtor has the right to assume or reject the lease. If a debtor lessor rejects the lease, the lessee has the right pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code to treat such lease as terminated by rejection or remain in possession of its leased premises for the rent otherwise payable under the lease for the remaining term of the ground lease (including renewals) and to offset against such rent any damages incurred due to the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. If a debtor lessee/borrower rejects any or all of the lease, the leasehold lender could succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease only if the lease specifically grants the lender such right. If both the lessor and the lessee/borrower are involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the issuing entity may be unable to enforce the bankrupt lessee/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated. In such circumstances, a ground lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in the ground lease or in the mortgage.

 

Some of the ground leases securing the mortgage loans may provide that the ground rent payable under the related ground lease increases during the term of the mortgage loan. These increases may adversely affect the cash flow and net income of the related borrower.

 

A leasehold lender could lose its security unless (i) the leasehold lender holds a fee mortgage, (ii) the ground lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with the leasehold lender upon termination or rejection of the ground lease, or (iii) the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the leasehold lender to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although not directly covered by the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code, such a result would be consistent with the purpose of the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code granting the holders of leasehold mortgages permitted under the terms of the lease the right to succeed to the position of a leasehold mortgagor. Although consistent with the federal bankruptcy code, such position may not be adopted by the applicable bankruptcy court.

 

Further, in a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir. 2003)) the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of the fee interest in leased property occurs under the federal bankruptcy code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, such sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. While there are certain circumstances under which a “free and clear” sale under the federal bankruptcy code would not be authorized (including that the lessee could not be compelled in a legal or equitable proceeding to accept a monetary satisfaction of his possessory interest, and that none of the other conditions of the federal bankruptcy code otherwise permits the sale), we cannot assure you that those circumstances would be present in any proposed sale of a leased premises. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, the lessee will be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that the lessee and/or the lender will be able to recoup the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court. Most of the ground leases contain standard protections typically obtained by securitization lenders. Certain of the ground leases with respect to a mortgage loan included in the issuing entity may not. See representation and warranty number 36 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representation and Warranties” and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

 89

 

  

Except as noted in this prospectus, each of the ground leases has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the mortgage loan (or at least 10 years beyond the maturity date of a mortgage loan that fully amortizes by such maturity date) (in each case, taking into account all freely exercisable extension options) and contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

 

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain lessors under the related ground lease a right of first refusal in the event a sale is contemplated or an option to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property and these provisions, if not waived, may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure or adversely affect the foreclosure process.

 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans have or may in the future have the benefit of reduced real estate taxes in connection with a local government “payment in lieu of taxes” program or other tax abatement arrangements. Upon expiration of such program or if such programs were otherwise terminated, the related borrower would be required to pay higher, and in some cases substantially higher, real estate taxes. Prior to expiration of such program, the tax benefit to the mortgaged property may decrease throughout the term of the expiration date until the expiration of such program. An increase in real estate taxes may impact the ability of the borrower to pay debt service on the mortgage loan.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” for descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain mortgaged properties.

 

State and Local Mortgage Recording Taxes May Apply Upon a Foreclosure or Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure and Reduce Net Proceeds

 

Many jurisdictions impose recording taxes on mortgages which, if not paid at the time of the recording of the mortgage, may impair the ability of the lender to foreclose the mortgage. Such taxes, interest, and penalties could be significant in amount and would, if imposed, reduce the net proceeds realized by the issuing entity in liquidating the real property securing the related mortgage loan.

 

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

 

Interests and Incentives of the Originators, the Sponsors and Their Affiliates May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

 

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates (including certain of the underwriters) expect to derive ancillary benefits from this offering and their respective incentives may not be aligned with those of purchasers of the offered certificates. The sponsors originated or purchased the mortgage loans in order to securitize the mortgage loans by means of a transaction such as the offering of the offered certificates. The sponsors will sell the mortgage loans to the depositor (an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, one of the sponsors and originators, and of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, one of the underwriters) on the closing date in exchange for cash, derived from the sale of the offered certificates to investors and/or in exchange for offered certificates. A completed offering would reduce the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans. The originators made the mortgage loans with a view toward securitizing them and distributing the exposure by means of a transaction such as this offering of offered certificates. In addition, certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are affiliated with the related originator. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”. This offering of offered certificates will effectively transfer the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans to purchasers of the offered certificates.

 

 90

 

 

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates expect to receive various benefits, including compensation, commissions, payments, rebates, remuneration and business opportunities, in connection with or as a result of this offering of offered certificates and their interests in the mortgage loans. The sponsors and their affiliates will effectively receive compensation, and may record a profit, in an amount based on, among other things, the amount of proceeds (net of transaction expenses) received from the sale of the offered certificates to investors relative to their investment in the mortgage loans. The benefits to the originators, the sponsors and their affiliates arising from the decision to securitize the mortgage loans may be greater than they would have been had other assets been selected.

 

Furthermore, the sponsors and/or their affiliates may benefit from a completed offering of the offered certificates because the offering would establish a market precedent and a valuation data point for securities similar to the offered certificates, thus enhancing the ability of the sponsors and their affiliates to conduct similar offerings in the future and permitting them to adjust the fair value of the mortgage loans or other similar assets or securities held on their balance sheet, including increasing the carrying value or avoiding decreasing the carrying value of some or all of such similar positions.

 

In some cases, the originators or their affiliates are the holders of the mezzanine loans and/or companion loans related to their mortgage loans. The originators and/or their respective affiliates may retain existing mezzanine loans and/or companion loans or originate future permitted mezzanine indebtedness with respect to the mortgage loans. These transactions may cause the originators and their affiliates or their clients or counterparties who purchase the mezzanine loans and/or companion loans, as applicable, to have economic interests and incentives that do not align with, and that may be directly contrary to, those of an investor in the offered certificates. In addition, these transactions or actions taken to maintain, adjust or unwind any positions in the future, may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the market for the offered certificates (if any), including adversely affecting the value of the offered certificates, particularly in illiquid markets. The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates will have no obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with respect to such companion loans or any existing or future mezzanine loans, based on the potential effect on an investor in the offered certificates, and may receive substantial returns from these transactions. In addition, the originators, the sponsors or any of their respective affiliates may benefit from certain relationships, including financial dealings, with any borrower, any non-recourse carveout guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, aside from the origination of mortgage loans or contribution of mortgage loans into this securitization, and they may have other financing arrangements with any borrower, any non-recourse carveout guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, including, without limitation, making loans or having other financing arrangements secured by indirect ownership interests in the mortgage loan borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the mortgage loan documents. Conflicts may also arise because the sponsors and their respective affiliates intend to continue to actively acquire, develop, operate, finance and dispose of real estate-related assets in the ordinary course of their businesses. During the course of their business activities, the sponsors and their respective affiliates may acquire, sell or lease properties, or finance loans secured by properties, which may include the properties securing the mortgage loans or properties that are in the same markets as the mortgaged properties. Such other properties, similar to other third-party owned real estate, may compete with the mortgaged properties for existing and potential tenants. The sponsors may also, from time to time, be among the tenants at the mortgaged properties, and they should be expected to make occupancy-related decisions based on their self-interest and not that of the issuing entity. We cannot assure you that the activities of these parties with respect to such other properties will not adversely impact the performance of the mortgaged properties.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity may have been refinancings of debt previously held by a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates, or a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates may have or have had equity investments in the borrowers or mortgaged properties under certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. Each of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates have made and/or may make loans to, or equity investments in, affiliates of the borrowers under the related mortgage loans. In the circumstances described above, the interests of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates may differ from, and compete with, the interests of the issuing entity.

 

 91

 

 

Further, various originators, sponsors and their respective affiliates are acting in multiple capacities in or with respect to this transaction, which may include, without limitation, acting as one or more transaction parties or a subcontractor or vendor of such party, participating in or contracting for interim servicing and/or custodial services with certain transaction parties, providing warehouse financing to, or receiving warehouse financing from, certain other originators or sponsors prior to transfer of the related mortgage loans to the issuing entity, and/or conducting due diligence on behalf of an investor with respect to the mortgage loans prior to their transfer to the issuing entity.

 

For a description of certain of the foregoing relationships and arrangements that exist among the parties to this securitization, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships And Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” and “Transaction Parties”.

 

These roles and other potential relationships may give rise to conflicts of interest as described in “—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests”, “—Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans” and “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below. Each of the foregoing relationships and related interests should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any offered certificates.

 

The Servicing of Servicing Shift Whole Loans Will Shift to Other Servicers

 

The servicing of the Carolina Hotel Portfolio whole loan, the servicing shift whole loan, is expected to be governed by the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization only temporarily, until the applicable servicing shift securitization date. In addition, the servicing of the Apex Fort Washington whole loan will be governed by the JPMCC 2017-JP6 pooling and servicing agreement only temporarily, until the applicable servicing shift securitization date. At that time, the servicing and administration of the servicing shift whole loan will shift to the related master servicer and related special servicer under the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement and will be governed exclusively by the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement and the related intercreditor agreement. Neither the closing dates of such securitizations nor the identities of such servicing shift master servicers or servicing shift special servicers have been determined. In addition, the provisions of the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreements have not yet been determined. Prospective investors should be aware that they will not have any control over the identity of the servicing shift master servicers or servicing shift special servicers, nor will they have any assurance as to the particular terms of the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreements except to the extent of compliance with the requirements of the related intercreditor agreement. Moreover, the directing certificateholder for this securitization will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of a servicing shift whole loan other than those limited consent and consultation rights as are provided in the related intercreditor agreement, and the holder of the related controlling pari passu companion loan or the controlling party in the related securitization of such controlling pari passu companion loan or such other party specified in the related intercreditor agreement may have rights similar to, or more expansive than, those granted to the directing certificateholder in this transaction. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

 

Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

 

The activities and interests of the underwriters and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Underwriter Entities”) will not align with, and may in fact be directly contrary to, those of the certificateholders. The Underwriter Entities are each part of separate global investment banking, securities and investment management firms that provide a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. As such, they actively make markets in and trade financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of customers. These financial instruments include debt and equity securities, currencies, commodities, bank loans, indices, baskets and other products. The Underwriter Entities’ activities include, among other things, executing large block trades and taking long and short positions directly and indirectly, through derivative instruments or otherwise. The securities and instruments in which the Underwriter Entities take positions, or expect to take positions, include loans similar to the mortgage loans, securities and instruments similar to the offered certificates and other securities and instruments. Market making is an activity where the Underwriter Entities buy and sell on behalf of customers, or for their

 

 92

 

 

own account, to satisfy the expected demand of customers. By its nature, market making involves facilitating transactions among market participants that have differing views of securities and instruments. Any short positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients through marketing or otherwise will increase in value if the related securities or other instruments decrease in value, while positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients in credit derivative or other derivative transactions with other parties, pursuant to which the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients sell or buy credit protection with respect to one or more classes of the offered certificates, may increase in value if the offered certificates default, are expected to default, or decrease in value.

 

The Underwriter Entities and their clients acting through them may execute such transactions, modify or terminate such derivative positions and otherwise act with respect to such transactions, and may exercise or enforce, or refrain from exercising or enforcing, any or all of their rights and powers in connection therewith, without regard to whether any such action might have an adverse effect on the offered certificates or the certificateholders. Additionally, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to disclose any of these securities or derivatives transactions to you in your capacity as a certificateholder. As a result, you should expect that the Underwriter Entities will take positions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

 

As a result of the Underwriter Entities’ various financial market activities, including acting as a research provider, investment advisor, market maker or principal investor, you should expect that personnel in various businesses throughout the Underwriter Entities will have and express research or investment views and make recommendations that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

 

If an Underwriter Entity becomes a holder of any of the certificates, through market-making activity or otherwise, any actions that it takes in its capacity as a certificateholder, including voting, providing consents or otherwise will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of other holders of the same class or other classes of the certificates. To the extent an Underwriter Entity makes a market in the certificates (which it is under no obligation to do), it would expect to receive income from the spreads between its bid and offer prices for the certificates. The price at which an Underwriter Entity may be willing to purchase certificates, if it makes a market, will depend on market conditions and other relevant factors and may be significantly lower than the issue price for the certificates and significantly lower than the price at which it may be willing to sell certificates.

 

In addition, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to monitor the performance of the certificates or the actions of the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement and will have no authority to advise any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or to direct their actions.

 

Furthermore, each Underwriter Entity expects that a completed offering will enhance its ability to assist clients and counterparties in the transaction or in related transactions (including assisting clients in additional purchases and sales of the certificates and hedging transactions). The Underwriter Entities expect to derive fees and other revenues from these transactions. In addition, participating in a successful offering and providing related services to clients may enhance the Underwriter Entities’ relationships with various parties, facilitate additional business development, and enable them to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue.

 

The Underwriter Entities are playing several roles in this transaction. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the depositor and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, a sponsor and a warehouse lender to (i) Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, a sponsor and mortgage loan seller, and (ii) an affiliate of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC, a sponsor and mortgage loan seller. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”. Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

 

The pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans serviced thereunder are required to be administered in accordance with the servicing standard without regard to ownership of any

 

 93

 

  

certificate by the master servicer, the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing Standard”. The trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans also provides that such non-serviced whole loan is required to be administered in accordance with a servicing standard, which is generally similar to the servicing standard set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer, a sub-servicer, the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates and, as it relates to servicing and administration of a non-serviced mortgage loan, each applicable master servicer, sub-servicer, special servicer or any of their respective affiliates under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans, may have interests when dealing with the mortgage loans that are in conflict with those of holders of the certificates, especially if the master servicer, a sub-servicer, the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates holds certificates or securities relating to any of the applicable companion loans, or has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower or a borrower sponsor.

 

In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest as they relate to the special servicer, for so long as the special servicer obtains knowledge that it is a borrower party with respect to a mortgage loan, the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer with respect to that mortgage loan and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the directing certificateholder or the controlling class certificateholder on its behalf will be required to select a separate special servicer that is not a borrower party (referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer”) with respect to any excluded special servicer loan, unless such excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event or at any time the applicable excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related excluded special servicer. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of Special Servicer Without Cause”. Any excluded special servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer with respect to such excluded special servicer loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such excluded special servicer loan earned during such time as the related mortgage loan is an excluded special servicer loan. While the special servicer will have the same access to information related to the excluded special servicer loan as it does with respect to the other mortgage loans, the special servicer will covenant in the pooling and servicing agreement that it will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to any excluded special servicer loan to the related borrower party, any of the special servicer’s employees or personnel or any of its affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related borrower party or the related mortgaged property or, to its actual knowledge, any non-affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related borrower party, and will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with those obligations. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the related borrower party will not obtain sensitive information related to the strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded special servicer loan. 

 

Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest. For instance, if the special servicer or its affiliate holds a subordinate class of certificates, the special servicer might seek to reduce the potential for losses allocable to those certificates from the mortgage loans by deferring acceleration in hope of maximizing future proceeds. However, that action could result in less proceeds to the issuing entity than would be realized if earlier action had been taken. In addition, no servicer is required to act in a manner more favorable to the offered certificates or any particular class of certificates than to the JPMCC 2017-JP7 non-offered certificates, any serviced companion loan holder or the holder of any serviced companion loan securities.

 

Each of the master servicer and the special servicer services and is expected to continue to service, in the ordinary course of its business, existing and new mortgage loans for third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans. The real properties securing these other mortgage loans may be in the same markets as, and compete with, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. Consequently, personnel of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, may perform

 

 94

 

  

services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loan sellers will determine who will service mortgage loans that the mortgage loan sellers originate in the future, and that determination may be influenced by the mortgage loan seller’s opinion of servicing decisions made by the master servicer or special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement including, among their things, the manner in which the master servicer or special servicer enforces breaches of representations and warranties against the related mortgage loan seller. This may pose inherent conflicts for the master servicer or the special servicer.

 

The special servicer may enter into one or more arrangements with the directing certificateholder, a controlling class certificateholder, a serviced companion loan holder or other certificateholders (or an affiliate or a third party representative of one or more of the preceding parties) to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation in consideration of, among other things, the special servicer’s appointment (or continuance) as special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and/or the related intercreditor agreement and limitations on the right of such person to replace the special servicer. See “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below.

 

Although the master servicer and the special servicer will be required to service and administer the mortgage loan pool in accordance with the servicing standard and, accordingly, without regard to their rights to receive compensation under the pooling and servicing agreement and without regard to any potential obligation to repurchase or substitute a mortgage loan if the master servicer or special servicer is a mortgage loan seller, the possibility of receiving additional servicing compensation in the nature of assumption and modification fees, the continuation of receiving fees to service or specially service a mortgage loan, or the desire to avoid a repurchase demand resulting from a breach of a representation and warranty or material document default may under certain circumstances provide the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, with an economic disincentive to comply with this standard.

 

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Operating Advisor

 

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has been appointed as the initial operating advisor with respect to all of the mortgage loans other than the non-serviced mortgage loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial operating advisor and its affiliates may have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included institutional investors, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer or the directing certificateholder, collateral property owners and their vendors or affiliates of any of those parties. These relationships may continue in the future. In the normal course of its business, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC and its affiliates are also hired by trustees and other transaction parties to perform valuation services with respect to properties that may have mortgages attached. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may continue in the future, and may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial operating advisor’s duties as operating advisor. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial operating advisor performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

The operating advisor or its affiliates may have duties with respect to existing and new commercial and multifamily mortgage loans for itself, its affiliates or third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. These other mortgage loans and the related mortgaged properties may be in the same markets as, or have owners, obligors or property managers in common with, one or more of the mortgage loans in the issuing entity and the related mortgaged properties. As a result of the investments and activities described above, the interests of the operating advisor and its

 

 95

 

  

affiliates and their clients may differ from, and conflict with, the interests of the issuing entity. Consequently, personnel of any successor operating advisor may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. Although the operating advisor is required to consider the servicing standard in connection with its activities under the pooling and servicing agreement, the operating advisor will not itself be bound by the servicing standard.

 

In addition, the operating advisor and its affiliates may have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the operating advisor or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower, a parent or sponsor of a borrower, a servicer or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Asset Representations Reviewer

 

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has been appointed as the initial asset representations reviewer with respect to all of the mortgage loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial asset representations reviewer and its affiliates have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer or the directing certificateholder or affiliates of any of those parties. These relationships may continue in the future. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial asset representations reviewer’s duties as asset representations reviewer. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial asset representations reviewer performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

The asset representations reviewer or its affiliates may have duties with respect to existing and new commercial and multifamily mortgage loans for itself, its affiliates or third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. These other mortgage loans and the related mortgaged properties may be in the same markets as, or have owners, obligors or property managers in common with, one or more of the mortgage loans in the issuing entity and the related mortgaged properties. As a result of the investments and activities described above, the interests of the asset representations reviewer and its affiliates and their clients may differ from, and conflict with, the interests of the issuing entity. Consequently, personnel of the asset representations reviewer may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans.

 

In addition, the asset representations reviewer and its affiliates may have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower, a parent of a borrower or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Directing Certificateholder and the Companion Holders

 

It is expected that Barings LLC will be the initial directing certificateholder. The special servicer may, at the direction of the directing certificateholder (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and other than with respect to any excluded loan and any servicing shift whole loan), take actions with respect to the specially serviced loans administered under the pooling and servicing agreement that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The directing certificateholder will be controlled by the controlling class certificateholders.

 

The controlling class certificateholders and the holders of the companion loans or securities backed by such companion loans may have interests in conflict with those of the other certificateholders. As a result, it

 

 96

 

  

is possible that the directing certificateholder on behalf of the controlling class certificateholders (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and other than with respect to any excluded loan, any non-serviced mortgage loan and any servicing shift whole loan) or the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans may direct the special servicer or the special servicer under such trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement relating to the other securitization transaction, as the case may be, to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. Set forth below is the identity of the initial directing certificateholder (or equivalent controlling entity) for each whole loan the expected securitization trust holding the controlling note in such whole loan and the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, under which it is expected to be serviced.

(1)The entity with the heading “Directing Party” above reflects the party entitled to exercise control and consultation rights with respect to the related mortgage loan until such party’s rights are terminated pursuant to the related pooling and servicing agreement or intercreditor agreement, as applicable.

 

 (2)

The servicing of the related whole loan will shift from the pooling and servicing agreement identified here to the pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to which the controlling companion loan is securitized, upon the occurrence of such securitization.

 

(3)The servicing of the servicing shift whole loan will be transferred on the related servicing shift securitization date. The initial controlling noteholder of the servicing shift whole loan will be the holder of the related controlling companion loan. After the related servicing shift securitization date, the controlling noteholder of the servicing shift whole loan is expected to be the related controlling class representative or other directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under such securitization.

 

The special servicer, upon consultation with a serviced companion loan holder or its representative (or, with respect to any servicing shift whole loan prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, at the direction of the holder of the related controlling companion loan), may take actions with respect to the related serviced whole loan that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, to the extent described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In connection with the pari passu whole loans serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, the serviced companion loan holders do not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, and they may have interests in conflict with those of the certificateholders. As a result, it is possible that a serviced companion loan holder (solely with respect to the related serviced whole loan) may advise (or, in the case of a controlling note holder of a servicing shift whole loan prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, direct) the special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. However, the special servicer is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or violate the servicing standard or the terms of the mortgage loan documents. In addition,

 

 97

 

  

except as limited by certain conditions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”, the special servicer may be replaced by the directing certificateholder for cause at any time and without cause (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and other than with respect to any excluded loan and any servicing shift whole loan). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the servicing shift whole loans, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, the special servicer may be replaced by the holders of the related controlling companion loans at any time, for cause or without cause.

 

Similarly, the applicable controlling class related to the securitization trust indicated in the chart above as the controlling noteholder (or, after the applicable servicing shift securitization date, the securitization trust for the related controlling companion loan) has certain consent and/or consultation rights with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan and have similar conflicts of interest with the holders of other certificates backed by the companion loans. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

The controlling noteholder, the directing certificateholder and its affiliates (and the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans and their respective affiliates) may have interests that are in conflict with those of certain certificateholders, especially if the applicable controlling noteholder, directing certificateholder or any of its affiliates holds certificates or companion loan securities, or has financial interests in or other financial dealings (as lender or otherwise) with a borrower or an affiliate of a borrower. In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class (any such mortgage loan referred to herein as an “excluded loan”), the directing certificateholder will not have consent or consultation rights solely with respect to the related excluded loan (however, the directing certificateholder will be provided certain notices and certain information relating to such excluded loan as described in the pooling and servicing agreement). In addition, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or a controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, the directing certificateholder or such controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, will not be given access to any excluded information solely relating to the related excluded loan and/or the related mortgaged properties pursuant to the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the directing certificateholder or any controlling class certificateholder will not obtain sensitive information related to the strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded loan or otherwise seek to exert its influence over the special servicer in the event an excluded loan becomes subject to a workout or liquidation. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest.

 

The special servicer, in connection with obtaining the consent of, or upon consultation with, the directing certificateholder or a serviced companion loan holder or its representative, may take actions with respect to the related serviced whole loan that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, to the extent described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In connection with the serviced whole loan, the serviced companion loan holder does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, and it may have interests in conflict with those of the certificateholders. As a result, it is possible that the serviced companion loan holder may advise the special servicer to take actions with respect to the related serviced whole loan that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans

 

The anticipated initial investor in the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “Third Party Purchaser” (see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—General”), was required under the credit risk retention rules to perform certain due diligence on the mortgage loans originally identified by the sponsors

 

 98

 

  

for inclusion in the issuing entity. See “Credit Risk Retention—General”. In addition, the Third Party Purchaser was given the opportunity to request the removal, re-sizing or change in the expected repayment dates or other features of some or all of the mortgage loans. The mortgage pool as originally proposed by the sponsors was adjusted based on certain of these requests.

 

We cannot assure you that you or another investor would have made the same requests to modify the original pool as the Third Party Purchaser or that the final pool as influenced by the Third Party Purchaser’s feedback will not adversely affect the performance of your certificates and benefit the performance of the Third Party Purchaser’s certificates. Because of the differing subordination levels, the Third Party Purchaser has interests that may, in some circumstances, differ from those of purchasers of other classes of certificates, and may desire a portfolio composition that benefits the Third Party Purchaser but that does not benefit other investors. In addition, while the Third Party Purchaser is prohibited under the credit risk retention rules to enter into hedging arrangements and certain other transactions, it may nonetheless otherwise have business objectives that could cause its interests with respect to the mortgage pool to diverge from those of other purchasers of the certificates. The Third Party Purchaser performed due diligence solely for its own benefit and has no liability to any person or entity for conducting its due diligence. The Third Party Purchaser is not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in the certificates in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in its capacity as owner of its certificates or in making requests or recommendations to the sponsors as to the selection of the mortgage loans and the establishment of other transaction terms. Investors are not entitled to rely on in any way the Third Party Purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan. The Third Party Purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan does not constitute, and may not be construed as, an endorsement of such mortgage loan, the underwriting for such mortgage loan or the originator of such mortgage loan.

 

The Third Party Purchaser will have no liability to any certificateholder for any actions taken by it as described in the preceding two paragraphs and the pooling and servicing agreement will provide that each certificateholder, by its acceptance of a certificate, waives any claims against such buyers in respect of such actions.

 

The Third Party Purchaser is expected to appoint Barings LLC as the initial directing certificateholder. The directing certificateholder will have certain rights to direct and consult with the special servicer. In addition, the directing certificateholder will generally have certain consultation rights with regard to the non-serviced mortgage loans under the trust and servicing agreements or pooling and servicing agreements, as applicable, governing the servicing of such non-serviced whole loans and the related intercreditor agreements. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Whole Loans”.

 

Because the incentives and actions of the Third Party Purchaser may, in some circumstances, differ from or be adverse to those of purchasers of the offered certificates, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

 

Conflicts of Interest May Occur as a Result of the Rights of the Applicable Directing Certificateholder To Terminate the Special Servicer of the Applicable Whole Loan

 

With respect to each whole loan, the directing certificateholder exercising control rights over that whole loan (or, with respect to the servicing shift whole loans, the holder of the related controlling companion loan) will be entitled, under certain circumstances, to remove the special servicer under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of such whole loan and, in such circumstances, appoint a successor special servicer for such whole loan (or have certain consent rights with respect to such removal or replacement). The party with this appointment power may have special relationships or interests that conflict with those of the holders of one or more classes of certificates. In addition, that party does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, may act solely in its own interests, and will have no liability to any certificateholders for having done so. No certificateholder may take any action against the directing certificateholder or, with respect to the servicing shift whole loans, the holder of the related controlling companion loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization or under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing

 

 99

 

  

agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans, or against any other parties for having acted solely in their respective interests. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” for a description of these rights to terminate the special servicer.

 

Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment

 

The managers of the mortgaged properties and the borrowers may experience conflicts in the management and/or ownership of the mortgaged properties because:

 

a substantial number of the mortgaged properties are managed by property managers affiliated with the respective borrowers;

 

these property managers also may manage and/or franchise additional properties, including properties that may compete with the mortgaged properties; and

 

affiliates of the managers and/or the borrowers, or the managers and/or the borrowers themselves, also may own other properties, including competing properties.

 

None of the borrowers, property managers or any of their affiliates or any employees of the foregoing has any duty to favor the leasing of space in the mortgaged properties over the leasing of space in other properties, one or more of which may be adjacent to or near the mortgaged properties.

 

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Other Risks Relating to the Certificates

 

The Certificates Are Limited Obligations

 

The certificates, when issued, will only represent ownership interests in the issuing entity. The certificates will not represent an interest in or obligation of, and will not be guaranteed by, the sponsors, the depositor, or any other person. The primary assets of the issuing entity will be the mortgage loans, and distributions on any class of certificates will depend solely on the amount and timing of payments and other collections in respect of the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that the cash flow from the mortgaged properties and the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the mortgaged properties will be sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the mortgage loans or to distribute in full the amounts of interest and principal to which the certificateholders will be entitled. See “Description of the Certificates—General”.

 

The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline

 

Your certificates will not be listed on any national securities exchange or traded on any automated quotation systems of any registered securities association, and there is currently no secondary market for your certificates. The underwriters have no obligation to make a market in the offered certificates. We cannot assure you that an active secondary market for the certificates will develop. Additionally, one or more investors may purchase substantial portions of one or more classes of certificates. Accordingly, you may not have an active or liquid secondary market for your certificates. 

 

The market value of the certificates will also be influenced by the supply of and demand for CMBS generally. A number of factors will affect investors’ demand for CMBS, including:

 

the availability of alternative investments that offer higher yields or are perceived as being a better credit risk than CMBS, or as having a less volatile market value or being more liquid than CMBS;

 

legal and other restrictions that prohibit a particular entity from investing in CMBS or limit the amount or types of CMBS that it may acquire or require it to maintain increased capital or reserves as a result of its investment in CMBS;

 

 100

 

 

increased regulatory compliance burdens imposed on CMBS or securitizations generally, or on classes of securitizers, that may make securitization a less attractive financing option for commercial mortgage loans; and

 

investors’ perceptions of commercial real estate lending or CMBS, which may be adversely affected by, among other things, a decline in real estate values or an increase in defaults and foreclosures on commercial mortgage loans.

 

We cannot assure you that your certificates will not decline in value.

 

Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates

 

We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the offered certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, financial reporting or other purposes, as to the ability of particular investors to purchase the offered certificates under applicable legal investment or other restrictions or as to the consequences of an investment in the offered certificates for such purposes or under such restrictions. We note that changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets including the CMBS market. While the general effects of such changes are uncertain, regulatory or legislative provisions applicable to certain investors may have the effect of limiting or restricting their ability to hold or acquire CMBS, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of investors in the offered certificates who are not subject to those provisions to resell their certificates in the secondary market. For example:

 

Investors should be aware of the risk retention and due diligence requirements in Europe (the “EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements”) which currently apply, or are expected to apply in the future, in respect of various types of European Union regulated investors including credit institutions, authorized alternative investment fund managers, investment firms, insurance and reinsurance undertakings and UCITS funds. Amongst other things, such requirements restrict an investor who is subject to the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements from investing in securitizations unless: (i) the originator, sponsor or original lender in respect of the relevant securitization has explicitly disclosed that it will retain, on an on-going basis, a net economic interest of not less than five percent in respect of certain specified credit risk tranches or securitized exposures; and (ii) such investor is able to demonstrate that they have undertaken certain due diligence in respect of various matters including but not limited to its note position, the underlying assets and (in the case of certain types of investors) the relevant sponsor or originator. Failure to comply with one or more of the requirements may result in various penalties including, in the case of those investors subject to regulatory capital requirements, the imposition of a punitive capital charge on the Certificates acquired by the relevant investor.

 

On September 30, 2015, the European Commission (the “European Commission”) published a proposal to amend the CRR Capital Requirements Regulation(the “CRR Amendment Regulation” and a proposed regulation relating to a European framework for simple, transparent and standardised securitization (the “STS Securitization Regulation”) which would, amongst other things, re-cast the EU risk retention rules as part of wider changes to establish a “Capital Markets Union” in Europe (together with the CRR Amendment Regulation, the “Securitization Regulations”). The Presidency of the Council of the European Union (the “Council”) and the European Parliament have proposed amendments to the Securitization Regulations. The subsequent trilogue discussions between representatives of the European Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, have resulted in a compromise agreement being reached on the contents of the Securitization Regulations. The Council published the compromise text of the STS Securitization Regulation in a communication dated June 26, 2017. However, the final forms of the Securitization Regulations have not yet been published and so their final contents are not yet known. The current intention is that the Securitization Regulations will only apply from January 1, 2019. Investors should be aware that there are likely to be material differences

 

 101

 

  

between the current EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements and those in the Securitization Regulations.

 

None of the sponsors, the depositor or the issuing entity will retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or to take any other action which may be required by EEA-regulated investors for the purposes of their compliance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or similar requirements. Consequently, the offered certificates are not a suitable investment for EEA-credit institutions, investment firms or the other types of EEA regulated investors mentioned above. As a result, the price and liquidity of the offered certificates in the secondary market may be adversely affected. EEA-regulated investors are encouraged to consult with their own investment and legal advisors regarding the suitability of the offered certificates for investment.

 

Recent changes in federal banking and securities laws, including those resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enacted in the United States, may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets. In particular, new capital regulations were issued by the U.S. banking regulators in July 2013; these regulations implement the increased capital requirements established under the Basel Accord and are being phased in over time. These new capital regulations eliminate reliance on credit ratings and otherwise alter, and in most cases increase, the capital requirements imposed on depository institutions and their holding companies, including with respect to ownership of asset-backed securities such as CMBS. Further changes in capital requirements have been announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and it is uncertain when such changes will be implemented in the United States. When fully implemented in the United States, these changes may have an adverse effect with respect to investments in asset-backed securities, including CMBS. As a result of these regulations, investments in CMBS such as the certificates by financial institutions subject to bank capital regulations may result in greater capital charges to these financial institutions and these new regulations may otherwise adversely affect the treatment of CMBS for their regulatory capital purposes.

 

Regulations were adopted on December 10, 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (such statutory provision, together with such implementing regulations, the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule generally prohibits “banking entities” (which is broadly defined to include U.S. banks and bank holding companies and many non-U.S. banking entities, together with their respective subsidiaries and other affiliates) from (i) engaging in proprietary trading, (ii) acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in or sponsoring a “covered fund” and (iii) entering into certain relationships with such funds. The Volcker Rule became effective on July 21, 2012, and final regulations implementing the Volcker Rule were adopted on December 10, 2013. Banking entities are required to be in conformance with the Volcker Rule by July 21, 2015, although ownership interests or sponsorships in covered funds in existence prior to December 31, 2013 are not required to be brought into conformance until July 21, 2017 (with the possibility of an additional five-year extension for certain illiquid funds). Prior to the applicable conformance date expiration, banking entities must make good faith efforts to conform their activities and investments to the Volcker Rule. Under the Volcker Rule, unless otherwise jointly determined otherwise by specified federal regulators, a “covered fund” does not include an issuer that may rely on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act other than the exclusions contained in Section 3(c)(1) and Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

  

The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption under the Investment Company Act contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. Accordingly, the issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule. The general effects of the Volcker Rule remain

 

 102

 

  

uncertain. Any prospective investor in the certificates, including a U.S. or foreign bank or a subsidiary or other bank affiliate, should consult its own legal advisors regarding such matters and other effects of the Volcker Rule.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted changes to the accounting standards for structured products. These changes, or any future changes, may affect the accounting for entities such as the issuing entity, could under certain circumstances require an investor or its owner generally to consolidate the assets of the issuing entity in its financial statements and record third parties’ investments in the issuing entity as liabilities of that investor or owner or could otherwise adversely affect the manner in which the investor or its owner must report an investment in CMBS for financial reporting purposes.

 

For purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended, no class of offered certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities”.

 

In addition, compliance with legal requirements, such as the credit risk retention regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, could cause commercial real estate lenders to tighten their lending standards and reduce the availability of debt financing for commercial real estate borrowers. This, in turn, may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to refinance the related mortgage loan or sell the related mortgaged property on such mortgage loan’s maturity date. We cannot assure you that a borrower will be able to generate sufficient cash from the sale or refinancing of the related mortgaged property to make the balloon payment on such mortgage loan.

 

Further changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets (including the CMBS market) and may have adverse effect on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the certificates.

 

Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities should consult with their own legal, accounting and other advisors in determining whether, and to what extent, the offered certificates will constitute legal investments for them or are subject to investment or other restrictions, unfavorable accounting treatment, capital charges or reserve requirements. See “Legal Investment”.

 

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded

 

Ratings assigned to the offered certificates by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor:

 

are based on, among other things, the economic characteristics of the mortgaged properties and other relevant structural features of the transaction;

 

do not represent any assessment of the yield to maturity that a certificateholder may experience;

 

reflect only the views of the respective rating agencies as of the date such ratings were issued;

 

may be reviewed, revised, suspended, downgraded, qualified or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency as a result of changes in or unavailability of information;

  

may have been determined based on criteria that included an analysis of historical mortgage loan data that may not reflect future experience;

 

may reflect assumptions by such rating agencies regarding performance of the mortgage loans that are not accurate, as evidenced by the significant amount of downgrades, qualifications and

 

 103

 

  

withdrawals of ratings assigned to previously issued CMBS by the hired rating agencies and other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations during the recent credit crisis; and

 

do not consider to what extent the offered certificates will be subject to prepayment or that the outstanding principal amount of any class of offered certificates will be prepaid.

 

The nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that assign ratings to any class of offered certificates will establish the amount of credit support, if any, for such class of offered certificates based on, among other things, an assumed level of defaults, delinquencies and losses with respect to the related mortgage assets. Actual losses may, however, exceed the assumed levels. If actual losses on the related mortgage assets exceed the assumed levels, you may be required to bear the additional losses.

 

In addition, the rating of any class of offered certificates below an investment grade rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, whether upon initial issuance of such class of certificates or as a result of a ratings downgrade, could adversely affect the ability of an employee benefit plan or other investor to purchase or retain those offered certificates. See “Certain ERISA Considerations” and “Legal Investment”.

 

Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that were not engaged by the depositor to rate the offered certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of offered certificates, relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from any ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor. The issuance of unsolicited ratings by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization on a class of the offered certificates that are lower than ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class.

 

As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the offered certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Based on preliminary feedback from those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations at that time, the depositor selected three of those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate certain classes of the certificates and not the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, due in part to their initial subordination levels for the various classes of the certificates. If the depositor had selected the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate the certificates, we cannot assure you that the ratings such other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations would have assigned to the certificates would not have been lower than the ratings assigned by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor. Further, in the case of one nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of rated certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by such nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for the classes of certificates. If the depositor had selected such nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate those other classes of rated certificates not rated by them, their ratings of those other certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged to rate such certificates. In addition, the decision not to engage one or more other rating agencies in the rating of certain classes of certificates to be issued in connection with this transaction may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of those classes of certificates. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor. Neither the depositor nor any other person or entity will have any duty to notify you if any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization issues, or delivers notice of its intention to issue, consolidated ratings on one or more classes of certificates after the date of this prospectus.

 

Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Commission may determine that any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates no longer qualifies as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or is no longer qualified to rate the certificates or may no longer rate similar securities for a limited period as a result of an enforcement action, and that determination may also have an

 

 104

 

  

adverse effect on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the offered certificates. To the extent that the provisions of any mortgage loan or the pooling and servicing agreement condition any action, event or circumstance on the delivery of a rating agency confirmation, the pooling and servicing agreement will require delivery or deemed delivery of a rating agency confirmation only from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates or, in the case of serviced whole loan, any related companion loan securities.

 

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to the certificates, and the ratings initially assigned to the certificates by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates could change adversely as a result of changes affecting, among other things, the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties, the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement, or as a result of changes to ratings criteria employed by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates. Although these changes would not necessarily be or result from an event of default on any mortgage loan, any adverse change to the ratings of the offered certificates would likely have an adverse effect on the market value, liquidity and/or regulatory characteristics of those certificates.

 

Further, certain actions provided for in loan agreements may require a rating agency confirmation be obtained from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates and, in the case of a serviced whole loan, any companion loan securities as a precondition to taking such action. In certain circumstances, this condition may be deemed to have been met or waived without such a rating agency confirmation being obtained. In the event such an action is taken without a rating agency confirmation being obtained, we cannot assure you that the applicable rating agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of the taking of such action. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions”, “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Rating Agency Confirmations” and “Ratings” for additional considerations regarding the ratings, including a description of the process of obtaining confirmations of ratings for the offered certificates.

 

Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors

 

General.

 

The yield to maturity on each class of offered certificates will depend in part on the following:

 

the purchase price for the certificates;

 

the rate and timing of principal payments on the mortgage loans (both voluntary and involuntary), and the allocation of principal prepayments to the respective classes of offered certificates with certificate balances; and

 

the allocation of shortfalls and losses on the mortgage loans to the respective classes of offered certificates.

 

For this purpose, principal payments include voluntary and involuntary prepayments, such as prepayments resulting from the application of loan reserves, property releases, casualty or condemnation, defaults and liquidations as well as principal payments resulting from repurchases due to material breaches of representations and warranties or material document defects or purchases by a companion loan holder or mezzanine lender (if any) pursuant to a purchase option or sales of defaulted loans. 

 

Any changes in the weighted average lives of your principal balance certificates may adversely affect your yield. In general, if you buy a certificate at a premium or any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates, and principal distributions occur faster than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected. If principal distributions are very high, holders of certificates purchased at a premium or any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates might not fully recover their initial investment. Conversely, if you buy a certificate at a discount (other than any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates) and principal distributions occur more slowly than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected.

 

 105

 

  

Prepayments resulting in a shortening of weighted average lives of your principal balance certificates may be made at a time of low interest rates when you may be unable to reinvest the resulting payment of principal on your certificates at a rate comparable to the effective yield anticipated by you in making your investment in the certificates, while delays and extensions resulting in a lengthening of those weighted average lives may occur at a time of high interest rates when you may have been able to reinvest principal payments that would otherwise have been received by you at higher rates.

 

In addition, the extent to which prepayments on the mortgage loans in the issuing entity ultimately affect the weighted average life of the principal balance certificates will depend on the terms of the principal balance certificates, more particularly:

 

a class of certificates that entitles the holders of those certificates to a disproportionately larger share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the “call risk” or the likelihood of early retirement of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively fast; and

 

a class of certificates that entitles the holders of the certificates to a disproportionately smaller share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the likelihood of “extension risk” or an extended average life of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively slow.

 

The Timing of Prepayments and Repurchases May Change Your Anticipated Yield.

 

The rate at which voluntary prepayments occur on the mortgage loans will be affected by a variety of factors, including:

 

the terms of the mortgage loans, including, the length of any prepayment lockout period and the applicable yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and the extent to which the related mortgage loan terms may be practically enforced;

 

the level of prevailing interest rates;

 

the availability of credit for commercial real estate;

 

the master servicer’s or special servicer’s ability to enforce yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums;

 

the failure to meet certain requirements for the release of escrows;

 

the occurrence of casualties or natural disasters; and

 

economic, demographic, tax, legal or other factors.

 

Although a yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium provision of a mortgage loan is intended to create an economic disincentive for a borrower to prepay voluntarily a mortgage loan, we cannot assure you that mortgage loans that have such provisions will not prepay.

 

The extent to which the special servicer forecloses upon, takes title to and disposes of any mortgaged property related to a mortgage loan or sells defaulted loans will affect the weighted average lives of your principal balance certificates. If the special servicer forecloses upon a significant number of the related mortgage loans, and depending upon the amount and timing of recoveries from the related mortgaged properties or sells defaulted loans, your principal balance certificates may have a shorter weighted average life.

 

Delays in liquidations of defaulted loans and modifications extending the maturity of mortgage loans will tend to delay the payment of principal on the mortgage loans. The ability of the related borrower to make any required balloon payment typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the related mortgaged property. A significant number of the mortgage loans require balloon payments at maturity and there is a risk that a number of those mortgage loans may default at maturity, or

 

 106

 

  

that the special servicer may extend the maturity of a number of those mortgage loans in connection with workouts. We cannot assure you as to the borrowers’ abilities to make mortgage loan payments on a full and timely basis, including any balloon payments at maturity. Bankruptcy of the borrower or adverse conditions in the market where the mortgaged property is located may, among other things, delay the recovery of proceeds in the case of defaults. Losses on the mortgage loans due to uninsured risks or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may create shortfalls in distributions to certificateholders. Any required indemnification of a party to the pooling and servicing agreement in connection with legal actions relating to the issuing entity, the related agreements or the certificates may also result in shortfalls.

 

See “—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” above and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments”.

 

In addition, if a sponsor repurchases a mortgage loan from the issuing entity due to a material breach of one or more of its representations or warranties or a material document defect, the repurchase price paid will be passed through to the holders of the certificates with the same effect as if the mortgage loan had been prepaid in part or in full, and no yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium would be payable. Additionally, any mezzanine lender (if any) may have the option to purchase the related mortgage loan after certain defaults, and the purchase price may not include any yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums. As a result of such a repurchase or purchase, investors in the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other certificates purchased at a premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. A repurchase, a prepayment or the exercise of a purchase option may adversely affect the yield to maturity on your certificates. In this respect, see “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”.

 

The certificates with notional amounts, namely, Class X-A and Class X-B certificates, will not be entitled to distributions of principal but instead will accrue interest on their respective notional amounts. Because the notional amount of the certificates indicated in the table below is based upon the outstanding certificate balances of the related class of certificates, the yield to maturity on the indicated certificates will be extremely sensitive to the rate and timing of prepayments of principal, liquidations and principal losses on the mortgage loans to the extent allocated to the related certificates.

 

Interest-Only Class of Certificates

 

Underlying Class

Class X-A   Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates
Class X-B   Class B and Class C certificates

 

In particular, the Class X-A certificates (and to a lesser extent, the Class X-B certificates) will be sensitive to prepayments on the mortgage loans because the prepayments will have the effect of reducing the notional amount of the Class X-A certificates first. A rapid rate of principal prepayments, liquidations and/or principal losses on the mortgage loans could result in the failure to recoup the initial investment in the Class X-A certificates and then the Class X-B certificates. Investors in the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of amortization, prepayment or other liquidation of the mortgage loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments. The yield to maturity of the certificates with notional amounts may be adversely affected by the prepayment of mortgage loans with higher net mortgage loan rates. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts”.

 

In addition, with respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved, the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding. As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

 

 107

 

  

Your Yield May be Adversely Affected By Prepayments Resulting From Earnout Reserves.

 

With respect to certain mortgage loans, earnout escrows may have been established at origination, which funds may be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction of certain conditions. If such conditions with respect to any such mortgage loan are not satisfied, the amounts reserved in such escrows may be, or may be required to be applied to the payment of the mortgage loan, which would have the same effect on the offered certificates as a prepayment of the mortgage loan, except that such application of funds would not be accompanied by any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge. See Annex A-1. The pooling and servicing agreement will provide that unless required by the mortgage loan documents, the master servicer will not apply such amounts as a prepayment if no event of default has occurred.

 

Losses and Shortfalls May Change Your Anticipated Yield.

 

If losses on the mortgage loans exceed the aggregate certificate balance of the classes of certificates subordinated to a particular class, that class will suffer a loss equal to the full amount of the excess (up to the outstanding certificate balance of that class). Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not borne by your certificates, those losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of your certificates.

 

For example, certain shortfalls in interest as a result of involuntary prepayments may reduce the funds available to make payments on your certificates. In addition, if the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee reimburses itself (or a master servicer, special servicer, trustee or other party to a trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans) out of general collections on the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity for any advance that it (or any such other party) has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related mortgage loan, then to the extent that this reimbursement is made from collections of principal on the mortgage loans in the issuing entity, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal available to be distributed on the certificates and will result in a reduction of the certificate balance (or notional amount) of a class of certificates. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”. Likewise, if the master servicer or the trustee reimburses itself out of principal collections on the mortgage loans for any workout-delayed reimbursement amounts, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal available to be distributed on the certificates on that distribution date. This reimbursement would have the effect of reducing current payments of principal on the offered certificates (other than the certificates with notional amounts and the Class R certificates) and extending the weighted average lives of the offered certificates with certificate balances. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.

 

In addition, to the extent losses are realized on the mortgage loans, first the Class NR-RR certificates, then the Class G-RR certificates, then the Class F-RR certificates, then the Class E-RR certificates, then the Class D certificates, then the Class C certificates, then the Class B certificates, and then the Class A-S certificates and, then pro rata, the Class A-SB, Class A-5, Class A-4, Class A-3, Class A-2 and Class A-1 certificates, based on their respective certificate balances, will bear such losses up to an amount equal to the respective outstanding certificate balance of that class. A reduction in the certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB or Class A-S certificates will result in a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Class X-A certificates. A reduction in the certificate balance of the Class B or Class C certificates will result in a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Class X-B certificates. We make no representation as to the anticipated rate or timing of prepayments (voluntary or involuntary) or rate, timing or amount of liquidations or losses on the mortgage loans or as to the anticipated yield to maturity of any such offered certificate. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

 

Risk of Early Termination.

 

The issuing entity is subject to optional termination under certain circumstances. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”. In the event of this termination, you might receive some principal payments earlier than otherwise expected, which could adversely affect your anticipated yield to maturity.

 

 108

 

  

Subordination of the Subordinated Certificates Will Affect the Timing of Distributions and the Application of Losses on the Subordinated Certificates

 

As described in this prospectus, the rights of the holders of Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates to receive payments of principal and interest otherwise payable on the certificates they hold will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the more senior certificates having an earlier alphabetical or alphanumeric Class designation. If you acquire any Class A-S, Class B or Class C certificates, then your rights to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on or in respect of the mortgage loans will generally be subordinated to those of the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and, if your certificates are Class B or Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class A-S certificates and, if your certificates are Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class B certificates. See “Description of the Certificates”.

 

As a result, investors in those classes of certificates that are subordinated in whole or part to other classes of certificates will generally bear the effects of losses on the mortgage loans and unreimbursed expenses of the issuing entity before the holders of those other classes of certificates. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions” and “—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

 

Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment

 

You Have Limited Voting Rights.

 

Except as described in this prospectus, you and other certificateholders generally do not have a right to vote and do not have the right to make decisions with respect to the administration of the issuing entity and the mortgage loans. With respect to mortgage loans (other than mortgage loan that will be serviced under a separate pooling and servicing agreement), those decisions are generally made, subject to the express terms of the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction, by the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, subject to any rights of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction and the rights of the holders of the related companion loans and mezzanine debt under the related intercreditor agreement. With respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, you will generally not have any right to vote or make decisions with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, and those decisions will generally be made by the master servicer or the special servicer under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan and the related companion loan, subject to the rights of the directing certificateholder appointed under such pooling and servicing agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In particular, with respect to the risks relating to a modification of a mortgage loan, see “—Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans” below.

 

In certain limited circumstances where certificateholders have the right to vote on matters affecting the issuing entity, in some cases, these votes are by certificateholders taken as a whole and in others the vote is by class. Your interests as an owner of certificates of a particular class may not be aligned with the interests of owners of one or more other classes of certificates in connection with any such vote. In all cases voting is based on the outstanding certificate balance, which is reduced by realized losses. In certain cases with respect to the termination of the special servicer and the operating advisor, certain voting rights will also be reduced by appraisal reductions, as described below. These limitations on voting could adversely affect your ability to protect your interests with respect to matters voted on by certificateholders. See “Description of the Certificates—Voting Rights”. You will have no rights to vote on any servicing matters related to the mortgage loan that will be serviced under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loans.

 

In general, a certificate beneficially owned by the master servicer, the special servicer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any excluded special servicer), the trustee, the certificate administrator, the depositor, any mortgage loan seller, a borrower party or any sub-servicer (as applicable) or affiliate of any of such persons will be deemed not to be outstanding and a holder of such certificate will not have the right to vote, subject to certain exceptions, as further described in the definition of “Certificateholder” under “Description

 

 109

 

  

of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information—Certificate Administrator Reports”.

 

The Rights of the Directing Certificateholder and the Operating Advisor Could Adversely Affect Your Investment.

 

The directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than a non-serviced mortgage loan, the servicing shift mortgage loans and any excluded loan) and the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause (other than with respect to any excluded loan), except that if a control termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class, as reduced by the application of cumulative appraisal reductions and realized losses, is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs and is continuing, the directing certificateholder will lose the consent rights and the right to replace the special servicer, and if a consultation termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class (as reduced by the application of realized losses) is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs, then the directing certificateholder will lose the consultation rights. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

 

These actions and decisions with respect to which the directing certificateholder has consent or consultation rights include, among others, certain modifications to the mortgage loans or serviced whole loans (other than the servicing shift whole loans), including modifications of monetary terms, foreclosure or comparable conversion of the related mortgaged properties, and certain sales of mortgage loans or REO properties for less than the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest, fees and expenses. As a result of the exercise of these rights by the directing certificateholder, the special servicer may take actions with respect to a mortgage loan that could adversely affect the interests of investors in one or more classes of offered certificates.

 

Similarly, with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, the special servicer under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan may, at the direction or upon the advice of the directing certificateholder of the related securitization trust holding the controlling note for the non-serviced whole loans, as applicable, take actions with respect to such non-serviced mortgage loan and related companion loan that could adversely affect a non-serviced mortgage loan, and therefore, the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. Similarly, with respect to the servicing shift whole loans, prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, the special servicer may, at the direction or upon the advice of the holder of the related controlling companion loan, take actions with respect to such whole loan that could adversely affect such whole loan, and therefore, the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The issuing entity (as the holder of each non-controlling note) will have limited consultation rights with respect to major decisions and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to each non-serviced whole loan (and the servicing shift whole loan) and in connection with a sale of a defaulted loan, and such rights will be exercised by the directing certificateholder for this transaction so long as no consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing and by the operating advisor if a consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Although the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and the special servicer for each non-serviced mortgage loan are not permitted to take actions which are prohibited by law or violate the servicing standard under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or the terms of the related loan documents, it is possible that the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under such pooling and servicing agreement may direct or advise, as applicable, the related special servicer to take actions with respect to such mortgage loan that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates.

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that the directing certificateholder and the directing certificateholder (if any) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan:

 

(i)       may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

(ii)       may act solely in the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan);

 

(iii)       does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan);

 

(iv)       may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan) over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates; and

 

(v)       will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a controlling class certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) – (iv) above, and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the directing certificateholder or the directing certificateholder (if any) under the pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals for having so acted.

 

In addition, if the certificate balances of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial certificate balances of such classes in the aggregate, (such event being referred to in this prospectus as an “operating advisor consultation event”), then so long as an operating advisor consultation event has occurred and is continuing, the operating advisor will have certain consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than a non-serviced mortgage loan). Further, the operating advisor will have the right to recommend a replacement of a special servicer at any time, as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor” and “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”. The operating advisor is generally required to act on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the certificateholders and, with respect to any serviced whole loan for the benefit of the holders of the related companion loan (as a collective whole as if the certificateholders and companion loan holders constituted a single lender). We cannot assure you that any actions taken by the special servicer as a result of a recommendation or consultation by the operating advisor will not adversely affect the interests of investors in any one or more classes of certificates. With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, any operating advisor appointed under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced mortgage loan may have rights and duties under such pooling and servicing agreement that vary in certain respects from those under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan or any related REO property. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”. There will be no operating advisor under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

 111

 

 

You Have Limited Rights to Replace the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer.

 

In general, the directing certificateholder will have the right to terminate and replace the special servicer with or without cause so long as no control termination event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of any excluded loan or servicing shift whole loan as described in this prospectus. After the occurrence and during continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the special servicer may also be removed in certain circumstances (x) if a request is made by certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the voting rights (taking into account the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances) and (y) upon receipt of approval by certificateholders holding at least 50% of a quorum of the certificateholders (which is the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the voting rights (taking into account the application of realized losses and the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of Special Servicer Without Cause”.

 

The certificateholders will generally have no right to replace and terminate the master servicer, the trustee and the certificate administrator without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of certificateholders may terminate the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders will be required to replace the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer even for cause, and certain termination events may be waived by the vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders. The certificateholders will have no right to replace the master servicer or the special servicer of the pooling and servicing agreement relating to each non-serviced mortgage loan. We cannot assure that your lack of control over the replacement of these parties will not have an adverse impact on your investment.

 

The Rights of Companion Holders and Mezzanine Debt May Adversely Affect Your Investment.

 

The holders of a pari passu companion loan relating to the serviced mortgage loan will have certain consultation rights (on a non-binding basis) with respect to major decisions relating to the related whole loan under the related intercreditor agreement. Such companion loan holder and its representative may have interests in conflict with those of the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, and may advise the special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates. Although any such consultation is non-binding and the special servicer is not obligated to consult with the companion loan holder if required under the servicing standard, we cannot assure you that the exercise of the rights of such companion loan holder will not delay any action to be taken by the special servicer and will not adversely affect your investment.

 

With respect to mortgage loans that have mezzanine debt or permit mezzanine debt in the future, the related mezzanine lender generally will have the right under certain limited circumstances to (i) cure certain defaults with respect to, and under certain default scenarios, purchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) the related mortgage loan and (ii) so long as no event of default with respect to the related mortgage loan continues after the mezzanine lender’s cure right has expired, approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” and “—Additional Indebtedness”.

 

The purchase option that the holder of a mezzanine debt holds pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement generally permits such holder to purchase its related defaulted loan for a purchase price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related defaulted loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) on, and unpaid servicing expenses, protective advances and interest on advances related to, such defaulted loan. However, in the event such holder is not obligated to pay some or all of those fees and additional expenses, including any liquidation fee payable to the special servicer under the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, then the exercise of such holder’s rights under the intercreditor agreement to purchase the related mortgage loan from the issuing entity may result in a loss to the issuing entity in the amount of those fees and additional expenses. In addition, such holder’s right to cure defaults under the related defaulted loan could delay the issuing entity’s ability to realize on or otherwise take action with respect to such defaulted loan.

 

 112

 

 

In addition, with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, you will not have any right to vote with respect to any matters relating to the servicing and administration of a non-serviced mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that the companion loan holders:

 

may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

may act solely in its own interests, without regard to your interests;

 

do not have any duties to any other person, including the holders of any class of certificates;

 

may take actions that favor its interests over the interests of the holders of one or more classes of certificates; and

 

will have no liability whatsoever for having so acted and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the companion loan holder or its representative or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the companion loan holder or its representative for having so acted.

 

Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans

 

As delinquencies or defaults occur, the special servicer (and any sub-servicer, if applicable) will be required to utilize an increasing amount of resources to work with borrowers to maximize collections on the mortgage loans serviced by it. This may include modifying the terms of such mortgage loans that are in default or whose default is reasonably foreseeable. At each step in the process of trying to bring a defaulted loan current or in maximizing proceeds to the issuing entity, the special servicer (and any sub-servicer, if applicable) will be required to invest time and resources not otherwise required when collecting payments on performing mortgage loans. Modifications of mortgage loans implemented by the special servicer (or any sub-servicer) in order to maximize ultimate proceeds of such mortgage loans to issuing entity may have the effect of, among other things, reducing or otherwise changing the mortgage rate, forgiving or forbearing payments of principal, interest or other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, extending the final maturity date of the mortgage loan, capitalizing or deferring delinquent interest and other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, forbearing payment of a portion of the principal balance of the mortgage loan or any combination of these or other modifications.

 

Any modified mortgage loan may remain in the issuing entity, and the modification may result in a reduction in (or may eliminate) the funds received with respect of such mortgage loan. In particular, any modification to reduce or forgive the amount of interest payable on the mortgage loan will reduce the amount cash flow available to make distributions of interest on the certificates, which will likely impact the most subordinated classes of certificates that suffer the shortfall. To the extent the modification defers principal payments on the mortgage loan (including as a result of an extension of its stated maturity date), certificates entitled to principal distributions will likely be repaid more slowly than anticipated, and if principal payments on the mortgage loan are forgiven, the reduction will cause a write-down of the certificate balances of the certificates in reverse order of seniority. See “Description of the Certificates—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

 

The ability to modify mortgage loans by the special servicer may be limited by several factors. First, if the special servicer has to consider a large number of modifications, operational constraints may affect the ability of the special servicer to adequately address all of the needs of the borrowers. Furthermore, the terms of the related servicing agreement may prohibit the special servicer from taking certain actions in connection with a loan modification, such as an extension of the loan term beyond a specified date such as a specified number of years prior to the rated final distribution date. You should consider the importance of the role of the special servicer in maximizing collections for the transaction and the impediments the special

 

 113

 

  

servicer may encounter when servicing delinquent or defaulted loans. In some cases, failure by a special servicer to timely modify the terms of a defaulted loan may reduce amounts available for distribution on the certificates in respect of such mortgage loan, and consequently may reduce amounts available for distribution to the related certificates. In addition, even if a loan modification is successfully completed, we cannot assure you that that the related borrower will continue to perform under the terms of the modified mortgage loan.

 

Modifications that are designed to maximize collections in the aggregate may adversely affect a particular class of certificates. The pooling and servicing agreement obligates the special servicer not to consider the interests of individual classes of certificates. You should note that in connection with considering a modification or other type of loss mitigation, the special servicer may incur or bear related out-of-pocket expenses, such as appraisal fees, which would be reimbursed to the special servicer from the transaction as servicing advances and paid from amounts received on the modified loan or from other mortgage loans in the mortgage pool but in each case, prior to distributions being made on the certificates.

 

Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan

 

Each sponsor is the sole warranting party in respect of the mortgage loans sold by such sponsor to us. Neither we nor any of our affiliates (except JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, in its capacity as a sponsor) is obligated to repurchase or substitute any mortgage loan or make any payment to compensate the issuing entity in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty of a sponsor or any document defect, if the sponsor defaults on its obligation to do so. However, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. and Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC will guarantee the performance of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC’s and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC’s obligations, respectively, to repurchase or replace defective mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that the sponsors or, notwithstanding the existence of any guarantee, the related guarantor, will effect such repurchases or substitutions or make such payment to compensate the issuing entity. Although a loss of value payment may only be made to the extent that the special servicer deems such amount to be sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach, we cannot assure you that such loss of value payment will fully compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach in all respects. In addition, the sponsors (or Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) may have various legal defenses available to them in connection with a repurchase or substitution obligation or an obligation to pay the loss of value payment. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC”. Even if a legal action were brought successfully against the defaulting sponsor, we cannot assure you that the sponsor would, at that time, own or possess sufficient assets to make the required repurchase or to substitute any mortgage loan or make any payment to fully compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach in all respects. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”. In particular, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan that is serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with the securitization of the related pari passu companion loan(s), the asset representations reviewer under that pooling and servicing agreement may review the diligence file relating to such pari passu companion loan(s) concurrently with the review of the asset representations reviewer of the related mortgage loan for this transaction, and their findings may be inconsistent, and such inconsistency may allow the related mortgage loan seller to challenge the findings of the asset representations reviewer of the affected mortgage loan. Any mortgage loan that is not repurchased or substituted and that is not a “qualified mortgage” for a REMIC may cause designated portions of the issuing entity to fail to qualify as one or more REMICs or cause the issuing entity to incur a tax. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

Risks Relating to Interest on Advances and Special Servicing Compensation

 

To the extent described in this prospectus, the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will each be entitled to receive interest on unreimbursed advances made by it at the “prime rate” as published in

 

 114

 

 

The Wall Street Journal. This interest will generally accrue from the date on which the related advance is made or the related expense is incurred to the date of reimbursement. In addition, under certain circumstances, including delinquencies in the payment of principal and/or interest, a mortgage loan will be specially serviced and the special servicer will be entitled to compensation for special servicing activities. The right to receive interest on advances or special servicing compensation is senior to the rights of certificateholders to receive distributions on the offered certificates. The payment of interest on advances and the payment of compensation to the special servicer may lead to shortfalls in amounts otherwise distributable on your certificates.

 

Bankruptcy of a Servicer May Adversely Affect Collections on the Mortgage Loans and the Ability to Replace the Servicer

 

The master servicer or the special servicer may be eligible to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”). If a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, were to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the FDIA, although the pooling and servicing agreement provides that such an event would entitle the issuing entity to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, the provision would most likely not be enforceable. However, a rejection of the pooling and servicing agreement by a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a bankruptcy proceeding or repudiation of the pooling and servicing agreement in a receivership under the FDIA would be treated as a breach of the pooling and servicing agreement and give the issuing entity a claim for damages and the ability to appoint a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable. An assumption under the federal bankruptcy code would require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to cure its pre-bankruptcy defaults, if any, and demonstrate that it is able to perform following assumption. The bankruptcy court may permit the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to assume the servicing agreement and assign it to a third party. An insolvency by an entity governed by state insolvency law would vary depending on the laws of the particular state. We cannot assure you that a bankruptcy or receivership of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, would not adversely impact the servicing of the mortgage loans or the issuing entity would be entitled to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a timely manner or at all.

 

If any master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, becomes the subject of bankruptcy or similar proceedings, the issuing entity claim to collections in that master servicer or special servicer’s, as applicable, possession at the time of the bankruptcy filing or other similar filing may not be perfected. In this event, funds available to pay principal and interest on your certificates may be delayed or reduced.

 

The Sponsors, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Issuing Entity’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans

 

In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a sponsor or the depositor, it is possible the issuing entity’s right to payment from or ownership of the mortgage loans could be challenged, and if such challenge were successful, delays, reductions in payments and/or losses on the certificates could occur.

 

The transfer of the mortgage loans by the sponsors in connection with this offering is not expected to qualify for the securitization safe harbor adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) for securitizations sponsored by insured depository institutions. However, the safe harbor is non-exclusive.

 

In the case of each sponsor, an opinion of counsel will be rendered on the closing date, based on certain facts and assumptions and subject to certain qualifications, to the effect that the transfer of the applicable mortgage loans by such sponsor to the depositor would generally be respected in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of such sponsor. A legal opinion is not a guaranty as to what any particular court would actually decide, but rather an opinion as to the decision a court would reach if the issues are competently presented and the court followed existing precedent as to legal and equitable principles applicable in bankruptcy cases. In any event, we cannot assure you that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a bankruptcy trustee or another interested party, as applicable, would not attempt to assert that such transfer was not a sale. Even if a challenge were not successful, it is possible that payments on the certificates would be delayed while a court resolves the claim.

 

 115

 

 

In addition, since the issuing entity is a common law trust, it may not be eligible for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws, unless it can be characterized as a “business trust” for purposes of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy courts look at various considerations in making this determination, so it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether or not the issuing entity would be characterized as a “business trust”. Regardless of whether a bankruptcy court ultimately determines that the issuing entity is a “business trust”, it is possible that payments on the offered certificates would be delayed while the court resolved the issue.

 

Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act provides for an orderly liquidation authority (“OLA”) under which the FDIC can be appointed as receiver of certain systemically important non-bank financial companies and their direct or indirect subsidiaries in certain cases. We make no representation as to whether this would apply to any of the sponsors. In January 2011, the then acting general counsel of the FDIC issued a letter (the “Acting General Counsel’s Letter”) in which he expressed his view that, under then-existing regulations, the FDIC, as receiver under the OLA, would not, in the exercise of its OLA repudiation powers, recover as property of a financial company assets transferred by the financial company, provided that the transfer satisfies the conditions for the exclusion of assets from the financial company’s estate under the federal bankruptcy code. The letter further noted that, while the FDIC staff may be considering recommending further regulations under OLA, the acting general counsel would recommend that such regulations incorporate a 90-day transition period for any provisions affecting the FDIC’s statutory power to disaffirm or repudiate contracts. If, however, the FDIC were to adopt a different approach than that described in the Acting General Counsel’s Letter, delays or reductions in payments on the offered certificates would occur.

 

The Requirement of the Special Servicer to Obtain FIRREA-Compliant Appraisals May Result in an Increased Cost to the Issuing Entity

 

Each appraisal obtained pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement is required to contain a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”), as in effect on the date such appraisal was obtained. Any such appraisal is likely to be more expensive than an appraisal that is not FIRREA compliant. Such increased cost could result in losses to the issuing entity. Additionally, FIRREA compliant appraisals are required to assume a value determined by a typically motivated buyer and seller, and could result in a higher appraised value than one prepared assuming a forced liquidation or other distress situation. In addition, because a FIRREA compliant appraisal may result in a higher valuation than a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal, there may be a delay in calculating and applying appraisal reductions, which could result in the holders of a given class of certificates continuing to hold the full non-notionally reduced amount of such certificates for a longer period of time than would be the case if a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal were obtained.

 

Tax Matters and Changes in Tax Law May Adversely Impact the Mortgage Loans or Your Investment

 

Tax Considerations Relating to Foreclosure.

 

If the issuing entity acquires a mortgaged property (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) subsequent to a default on the related mortgage loan (other than a non-serviced mortgage loan) or whole loan pursuant to a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) would be required to retain an independent contractor to operate and manage such mortgaged property. Among other items, the independent contractor generally will not be able to perform construction work other than repair, maintenance or certain types of tenant buildouts, unless the construction was more than 10% completed when the mortgage loan defaulted or when the default of the mortgage loan became imminent. Generally, any (i) net income from such operation (other than qualifying “rents from real property”), (ii) rental income based on the net profits of a tenant or sub-tenant or allocable to a service that is non-customary in the area and for the type of property involved and (iii) rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property, if the rent attributable to the personal property exceeds 15% of the total rent for the taxable year, will subject the lower-tier REMIC to federal tax (and possibly state or local tax) on such income at the highest marginal corporate tax rate. No determination

 

 116

 

  

has been made whether any portion of the income from the mortgaged properties constitutes “rent from real property”. Any such imposition of tax will reduce the net proceeds available for distribution to certificateholders. The special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) may permit the lower-tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to holders of certificates and any related companion loan holders, as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than under another method of operating or leasing the mortgaged property. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”. In addition, if the issuing entity were to acquire one or more mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) pursuant to a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, upon acquisition of those mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property), the issuing entity may in certain jurisdictions, particularly in New York, be required to pay state or local transfer or excise taxes upon liquidation of such properties. Such state or local taxes may reduce net proceeds available for distribution to the certificateholders.

 

REMIC Status.

 

If an entity intended to qualify as a REMIC fails to satisfy one or more of the REMIC provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, during any taxable year, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that such entity will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and any year thereafter. In such event, the relevant entity would likely be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If designated portions of the issuing entity are so treated, the offered certificates may be treated as stock interests in an association and not as debt instruments. The Code authorizes the granting of relief from disqualification if failure to meet one or more of the requirements for REMIC status occurs inadvertently and steps are taken to correct the conditions that caused disqualification within a reasonable time after the discovery of the disqualifying event. The relief may be granted by either allowing continuation as a REMIC or by ignoring the cessation entirely. However, any such relief may be accompanied by sanctions, such as the imposition of a corporate tax on all or a portion of the REMIC’s income for the period of time during which the requirements for REMIC status are not satisfied. While the United States Department of the Treasury is authorized to issue regulations regarding the granting of relief from disqualification if the failure to meet one or more of the requirements of REMIC status occurs inadvertently and in good faith, no such regulations have been issued.

 

Material Federal Tax Considerations Regarding Original Issue Discount.

 

One or more classes of the offered certificates may be issued with “original issue discount” for federal income tax purposes, which generally would result in the holder recognizing taxable income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Accordingly, investors must have sufficient sources of cash to pay any federal, state or local income taxes with respect to the original issue discount. In addition, such original issue discount will be required to be accrued and included in income based on the assumption that no defaults will occur and no losses will be incurred with respect to the mortgage loans. This could lead to the inclusion of amounts in ordinary income early in the term of the certificate that later prove uncollectible, giving rise to a bad debt deduction. In the alternative, the investor may be required to treat such uncollectible amount as a capital loss under Section 166 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Description of the Mortgage Pool

 

General 

 

The assets of the issuing entity will consist of a pool of thirty-seven (37) fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” or, collectively, the “Mortgage Pool”) with an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $811,002,952 (the “Initial Pool Balance”). The “Cut-off Date” means with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Due Date in July 2017, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has its first Due Date in August or September 2017, the date that would otherwise have been the related Due Date in July 2017.

 

Thirteen (13) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 62.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each part of a larger whole loan, each of which is comprised of (i) the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) in the case of nine (9) Mortgage Loans, collectively representing approximately 35.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related Mortgage Loan (collectively referred to in this prospectus as “Pari Passu Companion Loans” or each, a “Pari Passu Companion Loan”) and (iii) in the case of four (4) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 27.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, one or more loans that are subordinate in right of payment to the Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loans (each referred to in this prospectus as “Subordinate Companion Loans” or each, a “Subordinate Companion Loan”). The Pari Passu Companion Loans and Subordinate Companion Loans are collectively referred to in this prospectus as “Companion Loans” or each, a “Companion Loan”. Each Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan(s) are collectively referred to as a “Whole Loan”. Each Companion Loan is secured by the same mortgage(s) and the same assignment(s) of leases and rents securing the related Mortgage Loan. See “—The Whole Loans” below for more information regarding the rights of the holders of the Companion Loans and the servicing and administration of the Whole Loans that will not be serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction.

 

The Mortgage Loans were selected for this transaction from mortgage loans specifically originated for securitizations of this type by the mortgage loan sellers and their respective affiliates, or originated by others and acquired by the mortgage loan sellers specifically for a securitization of this type, in either case, taking into account, among other factors, rating agency criteria and anticipated feedback from investors in the most subordinate certificates, property type and geographic location.

 

The Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans were originated, co-originated or acquired by the mortgage loan sellers set forth in the following chart and such entities will sell their respective Mortgage Loans to the depositor, which will in turn sell the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity:

  PLC. Starwood Mortgage Funding II LLC, an affiliate of SMF VI, acquired certain notes originated by JPMCB. The mortgage loan is evidenced by two promissory notes, Note A-2-1, with a principal balance of $45,000,000 as of the cut-off date as to which JPMCB is acting as mortgage loan seller, and Note A-16-1, with a principal balance of $15,000,000 as of the cut-off date, as to which SMF VI is acting as mortgage loan seller.

 

Each of the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans is evidenced by one or more promissory notes or similar evidence of indebtedness (each a “Mortgage Note”) and, in each case, secured by (or, in the case of an indemnity deed of trust, backed by a guaranty that is secured by) a mortgage, deed of trust or other similar security instrument (a “Mortgage”) creating a first priority lien on a fee simple and/or leasehold interest in a commercial or multifamily real property (each, a “Mortgaged Property”). See “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations”.

 

The Mortgage Loans are generally non-recourse loans. In the event of a borrower default on a non-recourse Mortgage Loan, recourse may be had only against the specific Mortgaged Property and the other limited assets securing such Mortgage Loan, and not against the related borrower’s other assets. The Mortgage Loans are not insured or guaranteed by the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers or any other person or entity unrelated to the respective borrower. You should consider all of the Mortgage Loans to be non-recourse loans as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the specific property and other assets, if any, pledged to secure the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Certain Calculations and Definitions

 

This prospectus sets forth certain information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. The sum in any column of the tables presented in Annex A-2 or Annex A-3 may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. The information in Annex A-1 with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or Whole Loans, if applicable) and the Mortgaged Properties is based upon the pool of the Mortgage Loans as it is expected to be constituted as of the close of business on July 31, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), assuming that (i) all scheduled principal and interest payments due on or before the Cut-off Date will be made and (ii) there will be no principal prepayments on or before the Closing Date. The statistics in Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3 were primarily derived from information provided to the depositor by each sponsor, which information may have been obtained from the borrowers.

 

All percentages of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, or of any specified group of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, referred to in this prospectus without further description are approximate percentages of the Initial Pool Balance by Cut-off Date Balances and/or the allocated loan amount allocated to such Mortgaged Properties as of the Cut-off Date.

 

All information presented in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgage Loan with one or more Companion Loans is calculated in a manner that reflects the aggregate indebtedness evidenced by that Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loans, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Definitions

 

For purposes of this prospectus, including the information presented in the Annexes, the indicated terms have the following meanings:

 

ADR” means, for any hotel property, average daily rate.

 

Annual Debt Service” generally means, for any Mortgage Loan, 12 times the average of the principal and interest payments for the first 12 payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date, provided that:

 

in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for interest only payments through maturity, the aggregate interest payments scheduled to be due on the Due Date following the Cut-off Date and the 11 Due Dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan; and

 

in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for an initial interest-only period and provides for scheduled amortization payments after the expiration of such interest-only period, 12 times the monthly payment of principal and interest payable during the amortization period. Monthly debt

 

 119

 

 

  service and the underwritten debt service coverage ratios are also calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments scheduled to be due on the first Due Date following the Cut-off Date and the 11 Due Dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan, subject to the proviso to the prior sentence. In the case of one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Annual Debt Service is calculated based on the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the interest-only period based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F. In the case of any Whole Loan, Annual Debt Service is calculated with respect to the Mortgage Loan including any related Pari Passu Companion Loan without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan. Except as provided in the prior sentence, Annual Debt Service is calculated with regard to the related Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity only, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Appraised Value” means, for any Mortgaged Property, the appraiser’s adjusted value of such Mortgaged Property as determined by the most recent third party appraisal of the Mortgaged Property available to the applicable mortgage loan seller as set forth under “Appraised Value” on Annex A-1. In certain cases, the appraisals state values other than “as-is” for the related Mortgaged Property that assume that certain events will occur with respect to the re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs at such Mortgaged Property. In most such cases, the applicable mortgage loan seller has taken reserves sufficient to complete such re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs. We make no representation that sufficient amounts have been reserved or that the appraised value would approximate either the value that would be determined in a current appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or the amount that would be realized upon a sale. In addition, with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties the Appraised Value represents the “as-is” value, or values other than “as-is” for the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties as a collective whole, which is generally higher than the aggregate of the “as-is” or appraised values other than “as-is” of the individual Mortgaged Properties. In the case of certain of the Mortgage Loans, the LTV Ratio for such Mortgage Loans has been calculated based on values other than “as-is” Appraised Values of the related Mortgaged Property, and in certain other cases, based on an Appraised Value that includes certain property that does not qualify as real property. However, the Appraised Value set forth on Annex A-1 is the “as-is” value unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, on Annex A-1 and/or the related footnotes. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a part of a Whole Loan, Appraised Value is based on the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property that secures the entire Whole Loan.

 

Balloon Balance” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the principal amount that will be due at maturity for such Mortgage Loan, assuming no payment defaults or principal prepayments.

 

Cut-off Date Balance” of any Mortgage Loan will be the unpaid principal balance of that Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan, after application of all payments due on or before that date, whether or not received.

 

The tables presented in Annex A-2 that are entitled “Cut-off Date LTV Ratios” and “LTV Ratios at Maturity” set forth the range of LTV Ratios of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date and the stated maturity dates, respectively, of the related Mortgage Loans, respectively. An “LTV Ratio” for any Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, is a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of that date (assuming no defaults or prepayments on the Mortgage Loan prior to that date), and the denominator of which is the “as-is” appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, as applicable (or, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified under “—Appraised Value”, as described under such section) as determined by an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at or about the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan. For each Mortgage Loan with a related Companion Loan, the calculation of the Mortgage Loan LTV Ratio includes the principal balance of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loans. The LTV Ratio as of the related maturity date set forth in Annex A-2 was calculated based on the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan on the related maturity date, assuming all principal payments required to be made on or prior to the related maturity date, not including the balloon payment) are made. In addition, because it is based on the value of a Mortgaged Property determined as of loan origination, the information set forth in this prospectus in Annex A-1 and in Annex A-2 is not necessarily a reliable measure of the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In

 

 120

 

 

a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property could have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the current actual LTV Ratio of a Mortgage Loan and the LTV Ratio at maturity may be higher than its LTV Ratio at origination even after taking into account amortization since origination. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

 

The characteristics described above and in Annex A-2, along with certain additional characteristics of the Mortgage Loans presented on a loan-by-loan basis, are set forth in Annex A-1.

 

With respect to the Mortgaged Properties that secure the Mortgage Loans listed in the table titled “Appraised Value” under “—Appraised Value” below, the respective LTV Ratio at maturity was calculated using values other than “as-is” Appraised Values, as opposed to the “as-is” Appraised Values, each as set forth in “—Appraised Value” below as well as Annex A-1 and Annex A-3.

 

GLA” means gross leasable area.

 

Hard Lockbox” means that the related Mortgage Loan documents currently require tenants to pay rent or other income directly to the lockbox account. For hotel properties, the Mortgage Loan will be considered to have a Hard Lockbox if credit card companies or credit card clearing banks are required to deposit credit card receivables directly to the lockbox account, even if cash, checks or certain other payments are paid to the borrower or property manager prior to being deposited into the lockbox account.

 

In-Place Cash Management” means, for funds directed into a lockbox, such funds are generally not made immediately available to the related borrower, but instead are forwarded to a cash management account controlled by the lender and the funds are disbursed according to the related Mortgage Loan documents with any excess remitted to the related borrower (unless an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents or one or more specified trigger events have occurred and are outstanding) generally on a daily basis.

 

Loan Per Unit” means the principal balance per Unit as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan structure, the Loan Per Unit is calculated with regard to both the Serviced Companion Loan(s) (or Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s), as applicable) and the related Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Net Operating Income” generally means, for any given period (ending on the “NOI Date”), the total operating revenues derived from a Mortgaged Property during that period, minus the total operating expenses incurred in respect of that Mortgaged Property during that period other than:

 

non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization,

 

capital expenditures, and

 

debt service on the related Mortgage Loan or on any other loans that are secured by that Mortgaged Property.

 

NRA” means net rentable area.

 

Occupancy” means the percentage of square feet, units, rooms or beds, as the case may be, of a Mortgaged Property that were occupied or leased as of or, in the case of certain properties, average units or rooms so occupied over a specified period ending on, a specified date (identified on Annex A-1 as the “Occupancy Date”). The Occupancy may have been obtained from the borrower, as derived from the Mortgaged Property’s rent rolls, operating statements or appraisals or as determined by a site inspection of such Mortgaged Property.

 

RevPAR” means, with respect to any hotel property, revenues per available room.

 

Soft Lockbox” means the related Mortgage Loan documents currently require the related borrower or the property manager at the related Mortgaged Property to collect rents from tenants and pay all such rent

 

 121

 

 

directly to the lockbox account. In the case of certain flagged hotel properties, the manager may instead be required to deposit only the portion of such rent which is payable to the borrower, which may be net of hotel reserves, management fees and operating expenses.

 

Soft Springing Lockbox” means the related Mortgage Loan documents currently require the related borrower or the property manager at the related Mortgaged Property to collect rents from tenants and pay all such rent directly to the lockbox account; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of certain triggering events provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the related borrower is required to implement a Hard Lockbox. In the case of certain flagged hotel properties, the manager may instead be required to deposit only the portion of such rent which is payable to the borrower, which may be net of hotel reserves, management fees and operating expenses.

 

Springing Cash Management” means, for funds directed into a Hard Lockbox or Soft Lockbox, such funds are generally paid directly to the related borrower who pays debt service and funds all required escrow and reserve accounts (including debt service) from amounts received; provided, however, in some cases, that upon the occurrence of certain triggering events enumerated in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the cash management account converts to In-Place Cash Management. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such triggering events are cured as provided in the Mortgage Loan documents, in some cases, the cash management account will revert to Springing Cash Management.

 

Springing Lockbox” means no lockbox account is currently in place and that the related borrower (or its property manager) is responsible for paying debt service and funding all escrow and reserve accounts (including debt service); provided, however, that upon the occurrence of certain triggering events enumerated in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the related borrower is required to implement either a Hard Lockbox or Soft Lockbox.

 

Square Feet”, “SF” or “Sq. Ft.” means, in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a retail center, office, industrial/warehouse facility, any other single purpose property or any combination of the foregoing, the square footage of the net rentable or leasable area.

 

T-12” and “TTM” each means trailing 12 months.

 

Term to Maturity” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the remaining term, in months, from the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan to the related maturity date.

 

Underwritten Expenses” or “UW Expenses” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, an estimate of (a) operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management and franchise fees and advertising); and (b) estimated fixed expenses (such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground, space or air rights lease payments), as determined by the related Mortgage Loan seller and generally derived from historical expenses at the Mortgaged Property, the borrower’s budget or appraiser’s estimate, in some cases adjusted for significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee and subject to certain assumptions and subjective judgments of each Mortgage Loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income”.

 

The “Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio” or “UW NCF DSCR” for any Mortgage Loan for any period, as presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 attached, is the ratio of Underwritten Net Cash Flow calculated for the related Mortgaged Property to the amount of total annual debt service on such Mortgage Loan, except that the Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all partial interest-only loans, if any, was calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan, except with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, in which case the Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio was calculated based upon the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the initial interest-only period based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F. The Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all interest-only loans was calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date.

 

 122

 

 

For each Mortgage Loan with a related Companion Loan, the calculation of the Mortgage Loan UW NCF DSCR includes the principal balance and debt service payment of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

The “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” or “UW NCF” for any Mortgaged Property means the Underwritten NOI for such Mortgaged Property decreased by an amount that the related Mortgage Loan seller has determined to be an appropriate allowance for average annual tenant improvements and leasing commissions and/or replacement reserves for capital items based upon its underwriting guidelines.

 

The “Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio” or “UW NOI DSCR” for any Mortgage Loan for any period, as presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, is the ratio of Underwritten NOI calculated for the related Mortgaged Property to the amount of total annual debt service on such Mortgage Loan except that the Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all partial interest-only loans, if any, was calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan, except with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, in which case the Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio was calculated based upon the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the initial interest-only period based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F. The Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all interest-only Mortgage Loans were calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date.

 

For each Mortgage Loan with a related Companion Loan, the calculation of the Mortgage Loan UW NOI DSCR includes the principal balance and debt service payment of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

Underwritten NCF Debt Yield” or “UW NCF Debt Yield” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Underwritten Net Cash Flow for such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties divided by the Cut-off Date Balance for the related Mortgage Loan. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, Underwritten NCF Debt Yields were calculated with respect to such Mortgage Loan including any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

Underwritten NOI” or “UW NOI” for any Mortgaged Property means the net operating income for such Mortgaged Property as determined by the related mortgage loan seller in accordance with its underwriting guidelines for similar properties. Operating revenues from a Mortgaged Property (“Effective Gross Income”) are generally calculated as follows: rental revenue is calculated using actual rental rates or, in some cases, estimates in the appraisal, which are usually derived from historical results, but which may include anticipated revenues from newly executed contracts, in some cases adjusted downward to market rates or upward to account for contractual rent increases that are specified in a tenant’s lease or contract (as deemed appropriate by the applicable mortgage loan seller in light of the circumstances), with vacancy rates equal to the related Mortgaged Property’s historical rate, the market rate or an assumed vacancy rate (or that are effective in a lease renewal option period that a tenant has orally indicated its intent to exercise as deemed appropriate by the applicable mortgage loan seller in light of the circumstances); other revenue, such as parking fees, laundry fees and other income items are included only if supported by a trend and/or are likely to be recurring. In some cases, the related mortgage loan seller included in the operating revenues rents otherwise payable by a tenant in occupancy of its space but for the existence of an initial or periodic “free rent” period, reduced rent period or a permitted rent abatement, or rents payable by a tenant that is not in occupancy but has executed a lease, for which (in any of the foregoing cases) the related mortgage loan seller may have reserved funds as deemed appropriate by the applicable mortgage loan seller in light of the circumstances. Operating expenses generally reflect the related Mortgaged Property’s historical expenses, adjusted in some cases to account for inflation, significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee. However, some operating expenses are based on the budget of the borrower or the appraiser’s estimate.

 

 123

 

 

The Underwritten NOI for each Mortgaged Property is calculated on the basis of numerous assumptions and subjective judgments, which, if ultimately proven erroneous, could cause the actual operating income for such Mortgaged Property to differ materially from the Underwritten NOI set forth in this prospectus. Some assumptions and subjective judgments are related to future events, conditions and circumstances, including future expense levels and the re-leasing of occupied space, which will be affected by a variety of complex factors over which none of the issuing entity, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator or the trustee has control. In some cases, the Underwritten NOI for any Mortgaged Property is higher, and may be materially higher, than the actual annual net operating income for that Mortgaged Property, based on historical operating statements. No guaranty can be given with respect to the accuracy of the information provided by any borrowers, or the adequacy of the procedures used by a mortgage loan seller in determining the relevant operating information. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based on Incorrect or Failed Assumptions”. The Mortgage Loan amount used in this prospectus for purposes of calculating the LTV Ratios, debt service coverage ratios and debt yields for each Whole Loan is the aggregate principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loan(s). Further, in the case of certain Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1, certain tenants among the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at the respective related Mortgaged Properties or tenants, which in the aggregate constitute a significant portion of the Mortgaged Property, have executed leases (or subleases) but are not currently fully occupying the related space and/or not paying full contractual rent and/or are entitled to periodic rent abatements (which in some cases were not reserved for). In certain cases, the UW NOI includes rent from those tenants (without deduction for abated rent) even though the related tenants are not paying full contractual rent or are paying reduced or no rent or will receive such periodic rent abatements. In certain cases the related lender has reserved funds for rent abatements and/or tenant buildouts at the related space. In the case of three (3) Mortgage Loans identified as “211 Main Street”, “Torre Plaza” and “Flowserve Pumps” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 10.6% of the Initial Pool Balance the Underwritten NOI and UW NCF were based on the average rent of the sole tenant at the related Mortgaged Property, and in the case of one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 0.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, Underwritten NOI and UW NCF were based on the average rent of 7-Eleven, which is the sole retail tenant at the Mortgaged Property, and represents approximately 20.3% of net rentable area and 42.8% of underwritten base rent at the Mortgaged Property. Underwritten NOI and UW NCF for other Mortgage Loans may also include average rents for certain tenants, generally those with an investment grade rating.

 

The amounts representing net operating income, Underwritten NOI and UW NCF are not a substitute for or an improvement upon net income, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of the results of the Mortgaged Property’s operations or a substitute for cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of liquidity. We make no representation as to the future cash flow of the Mortgaged Properties, nor are the net operating income, Underwritten NOI and UW NCF set forth in this prospectus intended to represent such future cash flow.

 

The UW NCFs and UW NOIs used as a basis for calculating the UW NCF DSCRs presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, were derived principally from operating statements obtained from the respective borrowers (the “Operating Statements”) and appraiser’s estimates. With respect to Mortgage Loans secured by newly constructed or recently acquired Mortgaged Properties, the UW NCFs used as a basis for calculating UW NCF DSCRs are derived principally from rent rolls, tenant leases and the borrowers’ or appraisers’ projected expense levels. In certain cases when the information is available, UW NCFs for newly constructed or recently acquired Mortgaged Properties are based on historical data provided by the borrower. The Operating Statements and rent rolls were not audited and in most cases were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To increase the level of consistency between the Operating Statements and rent rolls, in some instances, adjustments were made to such Operating Statements. As regards expenses, these adjustments were principally for real estate tax and insurance expenses (e.g., adjusting for the payment of two years of expenses in one year), and to eliminate obvious items not related to the operation of the Mortgaged Property. However, such adjustments were subjective in nature and may not have been made in a uniform manner.

 

 124

 

 

Underwritten Revenues” with respect to any Mortgage Loan, means the gross potential rent (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income), subject to the assumptions and subjective judgments of each Mortgage Loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income”.

 

The “UW NOI Debt Yield” or “UW NOI DY” for any Mortgage Loan is calculated by dividing (x) the UW NOI for such Mortgage Loan by (y) the Cut-off Date Balance for such Mortgage Loan. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, UW NOI Debt Yields were calculated with respect to such Mortgage Loan including any related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

The “UW NOI Debt Yield” with respect to any class of certificates is calculated by dividing (x) the aggregate UW NOI for the pool of Mortgage Loans by (y) the aggregate Certificate Balance of such class of certificates and all classes of certificates senior to such class of certificates (or, in the case of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, the aggregate Certificate Balances of such certificates). Although the UW NOI for the pool of Mortgage Loans is based on an aggregate of the Mortgage Loans, excess cash flow available from any particular Mortgage Loan will not be available to support any other Mortgage Loan.

 

Units”, “Rooms” or “Beds” means (a) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as multifamily housing, the number of apartments, regardless of the size of or number of rooms in such apartment, (b) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a hotel property, the number of guest rooms (c) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operating as student housing, the number of units or (d) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a self storage property, the number of individual storage units.

 

Weighted Average Mortgage Rate” means the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates as of the Cut-off Date.

The remaining Mortgage Loans were calculated using “as-is” values as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions—Definitions”. For further

  information, see Annex A-1. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

 

(6)With respect to thirteen (13) Mortgage Loans identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio”, “First Stamford Place”, “211 Main Street”, “West Town Mall”, “Torre Plaza”, “St. Luke’s Office”, “Apex Fort Washington”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio”, “Columbus Office Portfolio I” and “Alexandria Corporate Park” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 62.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, each of which has one or more pari passu companion loans that are not included in the issuing entity, the debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields have been calculated including the related pari passu companion loan(s). With respect to four (4) Mortgage Loans identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “211 Main Street” and “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 27.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the calculation of the debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields includes any pari passu companion loans, as applicable, but excludes the related subordinate companion loans. The underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio, related loan-to-value ratio as of the cut-off date and underwritten operating income debt yield including the related subordinate companion loans are (a) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, 2.45x, 54.3% and 9.6%, respectively, (b) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, 2.04x, 66.6% and 9.5%, respectively, (c) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, 2.07x, 66.4% and 7.9%, respectively, and (d) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, 1.67x, 56.0% and 10.8%, respectively.

 

(7)Underwritten debt service coverage ratios are calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first twelve payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date; provided that (i) in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity, such items are calculated based on the interest payments scheduled to be due on the first due date following the cut-off date and the 11 due dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for an initial interest-only period that ends prior to maturity and provides for scheduled amortization payments thereafter, such items are calculated based on the monthly payment of principal and interest payable immediately following the expiration of the interest-only period. In the case of one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the principal payments used for calculating the underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio were based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex F following the interest only period. Certain assumptions and/or adjustments were made to the underwritten net cash flow. For example, with respect to seven (7) Mortgaged Properties identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1300 Corporate Lakes”, “First Stamford Place”, “211 Main Street”, “West Town Mall” and “Torre Plaza” on Annex A-1, partially securing six (6) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 29.7% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, certain assumptions and/or adjustments were made to the underwritten net cash flow reflected in the table above. For specific discussions on those particular assumptions and adjustments, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, “—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types”, “—Tenant Issues—Tenant Concentrations”, “—Tenant Issues—Lease Expirations and Terminations—Other”, “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” and “—Additional Information”. See also Annex A-1 and Annex A-3. Certain other similar assumptions and/or adjustments may have been made to other Mortgage Loans in the mortgage pool.

 

The issuing entity will include ten (10) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 29.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, that represent the obligations of multiple borrowers that are liable on a joint and several basis for the repayment of the entire indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Loan, subject to the nonrecourse carve-out provisions in the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

See also “—Certain Calculations and Definitions” above for important general and specific information regarding the manner of calculation of the underwritten debt service coverage ratios and LTV Ratios. See also “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” below for important information relating to certain payment and other terms of the Mortgage Loans.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1.

 

Office Properties.

 

With respect to the office properties set forth in the above chart and retail and mixed use properties that include office tenants:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Columbus Office Portfolio I” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower and/or borrower sponsor (or affiliates thereof) currently owns another office property within a 5-mile radius which are expected to be directly competitive with the related Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the lease of the sole tenant, Charles Schwab, is not subordinate to the Mortgage Loan, and the lender did not obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement at origination. The lease does not contain any option or preferential right to purchase the Mortgaged Property nor any early termination provisions (other than for casualty or condemnation). However, the terms of the

 

 128

 

 

  Mortgage Loan documents will be subordinate to the terms of the related lease in the event of a conflict between the terms of the related documents. In addition, in the event of a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the lender or its designee would take title to the Mortgaged Property subject to the related lease. The lease provides that the borrower is required to restore the Mortgaged Property following a casualty or condemnation except in certain limited circumstances, and the borrower is entitled to insurance proceeds and condemnation awards under the lease.

One (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, permits the related borrower to make alterations to the related Mortgaged Property for which the total unpaid “hard cost” construction costs may exceed the threshold amount set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents (5% of the original principal amount so long as Simon Property Group, L.P., Simon Property Group, Inc. or Teachers Insurance Annuity Association of America, Inc. owns at least 50% of the direct or indirect equity interests in and controls the borrower), provided the related borrower delivers to the lender as security for the payment of such amounts, among other things (i) a letter of credit or (ii) a guaranty from the related guarantor(s) that has a net worth equal to five (5) times the sum of the total costs then remaining to complete such alterations plus the aggregate then outstanding amount guaranteed under any guaranties that have been delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents and liquid assets equal to at least 120% of the total reasonably estimated costs then remaining to complete any alterations that are then the subject of any such guaranty (unless the guarantor is one of Simon Property Group, L.P., Simon Property Group, Inc. or Teachers Insurance Annuity Association of America, Inc., in which case the foregoing net worth and liquidity requirements are required to be waived).

With respect to eleven (11) Mortgaged Properties partially securing the portfolio identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 7.4% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, are Larkspur Landing branded hotels. The Larkspur Landing franchise is affiliated with the borrower sponsor, and there are no franchise agreements in place with respect to such Mortgaged Properties. There is a license agreement between the borrowers and an affiliate of the sponsor to use the intellectual property associated with the Larkspur Landing brand. The lender has received a comfort letter which provides that, upon the foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property, the lender has the right to continue using the license for a period of 12 months following any such realization or terminate the license without any fee. The comfort letter also grants the lender the right, but not the obligation, to cure defaults by the borrowers under the license agreement.

 

With respect to eight (8) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Marriott Park City”, “Springhill Suites Newark Airport”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-University Ctr.”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Charlotte Northlake”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Goldsboro Base Area”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Comfort Suites Gastonia”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Myrtle Beach North” and “Courtyard San Antonio Lackland” on Annex A-1, securing four (4) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 7.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgaged Properties have historically experienced lower occupancy during certain months. Each such Mortgage Loan is structured with a seasonality reserve.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower is required to take actions under the related franchise agreement to re-brand the Mortgaged Property to a Sheraton by Marriott by June 14, 2019, including (i) entering into the franchisor’s then-current form of franchise agreement for the Sheraton Hotels and Resorts System for a term equal to the then-remaining term of the franchise agreement, which franchise agreement is subject to the lender’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (ii) terminating the existing franchise agreement with Marriott and (iii) completing the property improvement plan required under the franchise agreement, as described in “—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion”. The borrower’s failure to complete the re-brand of the Mortgaged Property by the

deadline constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement and may result in termination of the franchise agreement if the borrower fails to cure such default within 30 days’ notice of default.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Hotel Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Risks Relating to Affiliation with a Franchise or Hotel Management Company” and “—Specialty Use Concentrations” below and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”.

 

Multifamily Properties.

 

With respect to the multifamily properties set forth in the above chart and mixed use properties that include multifamily components:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Georgetown South Apartments” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, there are 38 units, accounting for approximately 17.6% of the total units at the Mortgaged Property, with rent subsidized under Section 8 tenant based assistance program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, each Mortgaged Property is subject to New York City rent stabilization laws that limit rent increases at each Mortgaged Property to 2% annually for 2-year leases and does not allow any rent increases for 1-year leases. The ability of the borrower to repay its mortgage loan depends on the ability of the units to generate sufficient rental income, which may be limited by the rent control or stabilization ordinances.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, a significant concentration of the tenants at the related Mortgaged Property are students and the related sponsor did not require parental guaranties prior to origination of the Mortgage Loan. However, commencing with the 2017-2018 academic year, student tenants at the Mortgaged Property will be required to have a parental guaranty of their obligations under the leases.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, as of June 28, 2017, 88% of the units at the related Mortgaged Property were pre-leased for the upcoming school year. If less than 90% of the units were pre-leased by July 1, 2017, a cash sweep event would occur under the Mortgage Loan agreement. The subsequent pre-leasing of 90% of the units would cure such cash sweep event; provided that the pre-leasing cash sweep event may only be cured five times during the term of the related Mortgage Loan. We cannot assure you that the pre-lease threshold will be met or that in the event the cash sweep event occurs the lack of excess cash flow at the Mortgaged Property will not materially adversely impact the borrower’s management of the Mortgaged Property.

(1)In the case of each of the Mortgage Loans that is part of a Whole Loan, each of which has one or more related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) that is not part of the trust, the Loan per Unit, UW NCF DSCR and Cut-off Date LTV Ratio for each such Mortgage Loan is calculated based on the principal balance, debt service payment and Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the Mortgage Loan included in the trust and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan in the aggregate but excludes any related Subordinate Companion Loans. The UW NCF DSCR and the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio including the related subordinate companion loan(s) are (a) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, 2.45x and 5.43%, respectively, (b) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, 2.04x, 66.6%, respectively, (c) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, 2.07x and 66.4%, respectively, and (d) with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, 1.67x and 56.0%, respectively. See “—Assessments of Property Value and Condition” for additional information.

 

(2)In the case of the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Barry Pointe)” and “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Casselberry)”, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio was calculated based upon a hypothetical valuation other than an “as-is” value. In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, the Cut-off Date LTV was calculated based on the “as-is” value for the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties as a collective whole, which is higher than the aggregate of the “as-is” appraised values of the individual Mortgaged Properties. See “—Assessments of Property Value and Condition” for additional information.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses”.

 

Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans

 

The pool of Mortgage Loans will include seven (7) Mortgage Loans, set forth in the table below entitled “Multi-Property Mortgage Loans”, representing approximately 32.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, which are each secured by three or more properties. In some cases, however, the amount of the mortgage lien encumbering a particular property may be less than the full amount of indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan, generally to minimize recording tax. In such instances, the mortgage amount may equal a specified percentage (generally ranging from 100% to 150%, inclusive) of the appraised value or allocated loan amount for the particular Mortgaged Property. This would limit the extent to which proceeds from that property would be available to offset declines in value of the other Mortgaged Properties securing the same Mortgage Loan.

In some cases, an individual Mortgaged Property may be comprised of two or more parcels that may not be contiguous or may be owned by separate borrowers. For example, with respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified as “Depot Marketplace” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the related Mortgaged Properties are comprised of more than one (1) parcel, which parcels are owned by separate borrowers.

 

Two (2) groups of Mortgage Loans, set forth in the table below entitled “Related Borrower Loans”, representing approximately 6.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are not cross-collateralized but have borrower sponsors related to each other, but no group of Mortgage Loans having borrower sponsors that are related to each other represents more than approximately 3.9% of the Initial Pool Balance. The following table shows each group of Mortgage Loans having borrowers that are related to each other.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not the Mortgage Loans, the information for any Mortgaged Property that is one of multiple Mortgaged Properties securing a particular Mortgage Loan is based on an allocated loan amount as stated in Annex A-1.

 

The remaining Mortgaged Properties are located throughout twenty-seven (27) other states, with no more than 4.5% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount secured by Mortgaged Properties located in any such jurisdiction.

 

In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties in the Mortgage Pool, we note the following in respect of their geographic concentration:

are located in coastal areas in states or territories generally more susceptible to floods or hurricanes than properties in other parts of the country.

 

Nineteen (19) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Sunnyvale”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Milpitas”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Campbell”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing San Francisco”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Pleasanton”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Bellevue”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Sacramento”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio – Larkspur Landing Hillsboro”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Renton”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Folsom”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Roseville”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Residence Inn Chico”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Courtyard Chico”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Eastgate”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Landmark”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street”, “211 Main Street”, “Torre Plaza” and “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing five (5) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 16.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in an area that is considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zone 3 or 4). Seismic reports were prepared with respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on these reports, no Mortgaged Property has a seismic expected loss greater than 18%.

 

Mortgaged Properties With Limited Prior Operating History

 

Two (2) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Flowserve Pumps” and “Marcel Commons” on Annex A-1, securing or partially securing two (2) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 3.6% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, were each constructed or substantially renovated or in a lease-up period within the 12-month period preceding the Cut-off Date and have no or limited prior operating history and/or lack historical financial figures and information.

 

With respect to forty-one (41) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, each of the Mortgaged Properties is leased to a single tenant under a triple net lease, and the Mortgage Loan Seller was not provided with historical financial information for such Mortgaged Properties.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Limited Information Causes Uncertainty”.

 

Tenancies-in-Common

 

Eleven (11) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Texas Retail Portfolio”, “Chartwell Court”, “Greenville Retail Center”, “Village Square Apartments”, “Georgetown South Apartments” and “South Haven Village” on Annex A-1, securing six (6) Mortgage Loan representing 8.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, has one or more borrowers that own all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property as tenants-in-common, and the respective tenants-in-common have agreed to a waiver of their rights of partition. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” and “—Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery”.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” and “—Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery”.

 

Condominium Interests

 

Three (3) of the Mortgage Loans secured or partially secured by Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Comcast”, “First Stamford Place” and “Apex Fort Washington” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 9.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured, in certain cases, in part, by the related borrower’s interest in one or more units in a condominium. With respect to all such Mortgage Loans (other than as described below), the borrower generally controls the appointment and voting of the condominium board or the condominium owners cannot take actions or cause the condominium association to take actions that would affect the borrower’s unit without the borrower’s consent.

 

 137

 

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Comcast” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 0.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property consists of one unit in a three unit condominium (representing an approximately 33.33% pro rata share of the common elements). The other two condominium units are not collateral for the Mortgaged Property. Each unit owner is a member of the association, and each of the three units is entitled to one vote in the condominium association. The related condominium board consists of three directors, and the condominium board is not controlled by the borrower. The condominium declaration generally provides that all approvals or actions permitted to be taken by the association may be taken by the board of directors of the association without a vote of the unit owners. However, the following actions require the majority approval of the unit owners: (i) all decisions that would affect the pro rata share allocated to the borrower’s unit; or (ii) any amendment to the declaration that would modify or alter any unit boundaries, remove any limited common elements as being reserved to the exclusive use of the particular unit; alter or remove any easements for common areas, ingress, egress or parking, amend any provisions related to mortgagees, or change voting interests or shares in the common elements or common expenses or the association organizational documents. In the event of a casualty where the total estimated cost to repair the condominium exceeds the combined fair market value of all the units, the condominium may be terminated by the approval of at least two-thirds of the total voting interests.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1.

 

(2)For purposes of this prospectus, an encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” and not a leasehold interest if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the Mortgaged Property, such portion is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property), or (ii) the Mortgage Loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

 

In general, unless the related fee interest is also encumbered by the related Mortgage, each of the ground leases has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan (or at least 10 years beyond the maturity date of a Mortgage Loan that fully amortizes by such maturity date) (in each case, taking into account all freely exercisable extension options) and contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

 

Mortgage Loans secured by ground leases present certain bankruptcy and foreclosure risks not present with Mortgage Loans secured by fee simple estates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests”, “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure” and “—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, four of the individual Mortgaged Properties are

 

 138

 

 

subject to ground leases. With respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Hitachi” and “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—GoDaddy” on Annex A-1, the ground leases do not include no merger clauses, which restrict the merging of the fee and leasehold estates without the consent of the leasehold mortgagee. With respect to the Mortgaged Property identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Sikorsky Aircraft R&D Facility” on Annex A-1, the ground lease allows for amendments to the lease without the lender’s consent. For each of these Mortgaged Properties, the lender required the borrower to include a special member in its organizational structure, and the consent of the special member is required for any transfer that would result in a merger of the fee and leasehold estates with respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Hitachi” and “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—GoDaddy” on Annex A-1, or any amendment, modification, alterations or surrender of the ground lease. The Mortgage Loan documents provide a loss recourse carveout in the event any of the related individual borrowers terminates such special members without the prior written consent of the lender. In addition, the ground lease for the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Hitachi” Mortgaged Property expires on April 13, 2040, which is not more than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.

 

In regards to ground leases, see representation and warranty number 36 in Annex D-1 and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”. See also “Description of Top Fifteen Mortgage Loans” in Annex A-3 for an additional description of the leasehold interests related to six (6) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—FedEx (Baltimore)”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—GoDaddy”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Sikorsky Aircraft R&D Facility”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Hitachi”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Hilton Garden Inn Edison Raritan Center” and “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing three (3) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 5.2% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount.

 

Environmental Considerations

 

An environmental report was prepared for each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan no more than seven (7) months prior to the Cut-off Date. See Annex A-1 for the date of the environmental report for each Mortgaged Property. The environmental reports were generally prepared pursuant to the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for a “Phase I” environmental site assessment (“ESA”). In addition to the Phase I standards, some of the environmental reports will include additional research, such as limited sampling for asbestos-containing material, lead-based paint, radon or water damage with limited areas of potential or identified mold, depending on the property use and/or age. Additionally, as needed pursuant to American Society for Testing and Materials standards, supplemental “Phase II” ESAs have been completed for some Mortgaged Properties to further evaluate certain environmental issues, including certain recognized environmental conditions (each, a “REC”). A Phase II ESA generally consists of sampling and/or testing. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers —JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Environmental Site Assessment”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Assessments of Property Condition—Environmental Assessment” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Assessments of Property Condition—Environmental Assessment”.

 

Described below is certain additional information regarding environmental issues at the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—LKQ (Salisbury)” on Annex A-1 partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan, representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA noted that the Mortgaged Property has been operated as a truck and car salvage facility since 2012. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was conducted in 2015 to evaluate subsurface conditions at the Mortgaged Property. Based on the results of soil sampling in connection with the subsurface investigation, the prior investigation concluded that there was no evidence of significant impact at the Mortgaged Property and no further action or investigation was required. In addition, a prior investigation disclosed that three 12,000-gallon diesel tanks and one 1,000-gallon tank, which reportedly contained waste oil, were removed from the Mortgaged Property in February 2012. Samples collected during closure of the

 

 

 139

 

 

tanks identified diesel impacted soil, and approximately 955 tons of soil was excavated from the Mortgaged Property and a second release was reported at the Mortgaged Property in 2012. Further soil sampling and a groundwater monitoring well detected various petroleum compounds at concentrations above the regulatory thresholds for residential settings (but not industrial/commercial properties) with respect to the soil samples. A groundwater sample contained various compounds at concentrations below applicable groundwater cleanup standards. According to the ESA, regulatory closure was granted on September 12, 2012, with restrictions prohibiting residential use of the Mortgaged Property and restricting the use of groundwater beneath the Mortgaged Property. The ESA characterized the former releases and use restriction as a controlled recognized environmental condition and recommended continued compliance with the groundwater and land use restrictions. The ESA also indicated that a review of the historical documentation and the regulatory database identified that the Mortgaged Property historically contained two lagoons utilized for wastewater disposal. According to the ESA, a former occupant of the Mortgaged Property discontinued the use of the lagoons and installed an oil/water separator system. However, based on the available documentation and the information within the regulatory database, the ESA concluded that the lagoons appear to have been remediated and the residual contaminant levels appear to be below applicable screening levels and characterized the historical lagoons as a historical recognized environmental condition. The ESA recommended that a file review be conducted to attempt to obtain the additional backup documentation.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—GE Aviation (Pompano)” on Annex A-1 partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan, representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA disclosed that a Phase II subsurface Investigation conducted at the Mortgaged Property in October 2010 identified concentrations of lead in the soil and organic compounds in groundwater below applicable state cleanup criteria. After review of submitted documentation, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection issued a no further action letter for the Mortgaged Property, which is subject to a covenant restricting groundwater and land use. The restrictive covenant specifies that groundwater may not be used in any form and that the Mortgaged Property may not be utilized for agricultural, hotel, recreational, residential or educational uses. The ESA characterized the restrictive covenant as a controlled recognized environmental condition and did not recommend any further action or investigation.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street” on Annex A-1 partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan, representing approximately 0.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA obtained at origination identified off-site sources as potential groundwater and vapor encroachment concerns which could potentially impact the Mortgaged Property, which include a former army airfield. The ESA indicates that plans for additional investigation and remedial action through anticipated closure certification are slated for 2018 – 2022. In addition, the ESA noted that an adjacent property that was formerly operated as a truck facility is listed on a state database for a historic release of solvents that has not yet been fully assessed. According to the ESA, responsible parties have been identified and would be responsible for any remedial action. Based on the configuration of the Mortgaged Property, the ESA concluded that vapor intrusion would not be an issue with the warehouse portion of Mortgaged Property due to the ventilation with the loading dock doors, but that the office area could pose a concern. If vapor intrusion is determined to be a concern for the office area, the ESA recommended that the concern be addressed through the installation of a sub slab depressurization system for an estimated cost of approximately $30,000. The borrower was not required at origination to reserve any funds for the installation of a sub slab depressurization system.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel—Hampton Inn Morehead” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA recommended that a ground penetrating radar survey and/or magnetometer survey be conducted to determine whether any underground storage tanks associated the former presence of a gasoline service station remain at the Mortgaged Property, and that the borrower conduct a limited subsurface investigation to characterize any impacts to soil and/or groundwater. The ESA provided an estimated cost of $12,000-$17,000 in connection with

 

 140

 

 

  such recommendations. With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Hampton Inn Carlisle” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the ESA recommended that a file review be conducted at the applicable state agency in order to determine the current status of a leaking underground storage tank case associated with the Mortgaged Property due to the former presence of a gasoline service station at the Mortgaged Property. The ESA provided an estimated cost of $1,000 to conduct the review. At origination, the borrowers were required to obtain an environmental insurance policy against claims for pollution and remediation in connection with the recognized environmental condition at the related Mortgaged Properties. The policy has individual and aggregate claim limits of $1.0 million and a $25,000 deductible. The current policy has an expiration date of May 24, 2030. The policy was prepaid at origination of the Mortgage Loan and was provided by Great American E&S Insurance Company, which is rated A+ by S&P.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA obtained at origination disclosed that the Mortgaged Property is subject to the City of San Francisco Maher Ordinance due to its location within an area of the city created by filling the margins of San Francisco Bay, and its former industrial land use that included a bolt works facility, machine shops, a foundry, a mill and a boiler works from 1887 to 1971. The Maher Ordinance requires soil and groundwater testing for any subsurface excavation program that will disturb 50 cubic yards of soil. However, the ESA noted that the original soils at the Mortgaged Property have already been removed in connection with construction of the building basement. The ESA states that there is no evidence suggesting the presence of subsurface contamination at the Mortgaged Property and did not recommend any further action. However, the ESA stated that it could not rule out the possibility that low level groundwater contamination is present on a regional basis throughout the downtown area related to Bay margin filling or other historic land uses in the area. The nonrecourse carve-out guarantor is not a party to the environmental indemnity, and in lieu of the guarantor signing the indemnity, the borrower delivered an environmental insurance policy in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents at origination. The Mortgage Loan documents require the environmental insurance policy: (a) to be a claims made and reported policy for an initial term of nine years; (b) to have limits of liability of $5,000,000 for each pollution condition and $5,000,000 in the aggregate; (c) to have a self-insured retention amount of $50,000 for each pollution condition; (d) to name the lender as an additional named insured providing automatic rights of assignment in the event of defaults; and (e) to be dedicated solely to the Mortgaged Property with the borrower not permitted to add any additional locations during the policy term. At origination, the borrower obtained an environmental insurance policy for a term that expires on March 28, 2026 with no tail period, with aggregate and individual limits of $5,000,000 and a deductible of $50,000. The policy was prepaid at origination of the Mortgage Loan and was provided by Zurich American Insurance Company, which is rated AA- by S&P.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Springhill Suites Newark Airport” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property was part of the former New Jersey Department of Transportation Newark Complex Landfill, which was closed in accordance with a closure and post-closure plan and a remedial action work plan, which was approved by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) on April 6, 2001. Contaminants of concern are known to be in both soils (polyaromatic hydrocarbons and metals) and groundwater (metals) at the Mortgaged Property and remedial actions consist of capping soils, executing a Classification Exception Area (“CEA”) for groundwater and installing a gas venting system and indoor gas monitoring system to monitor and mitigate landfill-generated methane gas. In response to remedial actions, the NJDEP issued a “restricted use” no further action letter for the entire Mortgaged Property on August 2, 2007, which required the prior owner to undertake quarterly inspections of the gas venting system and inspect the areas covered by paving, vegetation and the building to verify integrity of the cap. The quarterly inspection must be conducted for 30 years through 2037. The ESA concluded the annual cost of such maintenance equals $11,500. The ESA also concluded that the addition of the remedial action protectiveness certification form for the soil will

 

 

 141

 

 

  be required every other year at a cost of $3,500 per year. Additionally, the air permit will need to be renewed in 2018 and every five years thereafter and will cost $1,000 for each renewal. Finally, costs related to the actual closing, including a remedial action permit transfer form and a non-technical amendment application for non-major facilities form (related to the air permit) would be required; however, that effort is expected to be fairly minimal and is estimated at less than $2,500. The ESA estimates that approximately $164,500 will be expended at the Mortgaged Property over the next 12 years in connection with environmental maintenance. At origination of the Mortgage Loan, approximately $37,500 was deposited into an environmental maintenance reserve, equivalent to 125% of two years of environmental maintenance costs ($26,500), filing of related forms ($2,500) and the 2018 air permit renewal ($1,000). In addition, approximately $1,401.04 will be deposited monthly into the environmental maintenance reserve, based on 125% of the total estimated cost of environmental maintenance (subtracting the initial reserve) and air permit renewal costs for ten years.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the ESA obtained at origination disclosed that a prior subsurface investigation at the Mortgaged Property indicated the presence of petroleum compounds in the soil and groundwater in quantities exceeding the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (the “DNREC”) action levels. A facility evaluation on the Mortgaged Property by the DNREC was completed in 1998 identified several contaminants including metals, petroleum compounds and other hydrocarbons that exceeded the risk standards promulgated by the DNREC. In 1999, the DNREC issued a plan of remedial action based on the results of the investigations, which included the excavation and removal of highly impacted soils, the excavation and placement of lesser impacted soils at the Mortgaged Property and the issuance of a deed restriction affecting the Mortgaged Property. The deed restriction was recorded in 1999 and prohibits excavation or similar activities on certain areas of the Mortgaged Property or the withdrawal of any groundwater from any well located on the Mortgaged Property without the prior consent of the DNREC. The ESA also identified potential impacts to the Mortgaged Property from off-site sources. The ESA recommended additional field investigation in order to characterize the extent of the groundwater and soil impacts on the Mortgaged Property (including whether vapor intrusion represents a concern) and that the borrower install and maintain a sub-slab depressurization system to mitigate the potential impacts from any vapor migration identified at the Mortgaged Property. The ESA provided an estimated total cost of $65,000-$110,000 to implement such recommendations. At origination of the Mortgage Loan, the borrower was required to deposit $138,000 into a reserve for such purposes. The Mortgage Loan documents also require the borrower to comply with all use and operational restrictions on the Mortgaged Property set forth in the deed restriction, complete all work recommended by the ESA and remediate any vapor migration or vapor intrusion affecting the Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Coral Springs Business Warehouse Center” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Phase I ESA identified as a recognized environmental condition (“REC”) the possibility of vapor migration at the Mortgaged Property due to soil and groundwater impacts by various hazardous substances and petroleum products resulting from the performance of electroplating using nickel, silver, and gold plating from the early 1980’s through mid-2000’s by a former occupant of the Mortgaged Property. Remediation and monitoring has been conducted through March 2009, and in 2014, the property owner entered into a Declaration of Restrictive Covenant (the “Declaration”) dated April 24, 2014, which contains restrictions preventing the use of groundwater at the Mortgaged Property and requiring that the area of soil contamination located on the Mortgaged Property be permanently covered and maintained with an impermeable material that prevents human exposure and prevents water infiltration. In a letter dated June 11, 2014, the Broward County Pollution Prevention, Remediation and Air Quality Division (the “Division”) re-classified the status of the case to inactive. However, because contamination remains on the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgaged Property will remain on Broward County’s inventory of contaminated sites, and any future development or construction plans must be approved by the Division to ensure that such plans do not conflict with the restrictions set forth in the Declaration. In

 

 142

 

 

   addition, the Phase I ESA determined that the prior environmental reports had not addressed possible vapor migration from the contaminants in the soil and groundwater and recommended installation of a sub-slab depressurization system to address vapor migration. A Phase II ESA performed sub-slab vapor testing for the potential vapor migration of volatile organic compounds beneath select commercial bays and determined that the concentration under two bays exceeded the EPA’s Target Sub-Slab and Exterior Soil Gas Concentration for commercial scenarios. The Phase II environmental consultant determined that the potential for significant occupant exposure to sub-slab chemical vapors identified during this assessment appeared to be low at the time of testing as the assessed units were used for storage and/or by ventilation with outdoor air during occupation, however, because future uses for office operations may entail occupancy in enclosed rooms, the environmental consultant recommended that mitigation and/or remediation of sub-slab vapor-forming chemicals should be performed and estimated the cost of such remediation at approximately $75,000. The Phase I environmental consultant also estimated the cost of such remediation at $75,000. At origination of the Mortgage Loan, the borrower reserved $94,375, an amount exceeding 125% of the estimated cost for the sub-slab vapor depressurization system, which mitigation work is required to be commenced within 90 days of the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are properties which are currently undergoing or are expected to undergo redevelopment, renovation or expansion, including with respect to hotel properties, executing property improvement plans (“PIPs”) required by the franchisors. Below are descriptions of certain of such Mortgaged Properties.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the sponsor is in the process of completing construction of the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Barry Pointe)” and Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Baxalta (Casselberry)” on Annex A-1. At origination of the Mortgage Loan, the lender funded $10,720,000 into a reserve account to be disbursed to the borrowers provided that, among other conditions: (i) there is no event of default continuing on the date that the borrowers request the funds and the date of the disbursement; (ii) the net operating income for each of the two Mortgaged Properties results in a debt yield of at least 9.8% based on the outstanding principal balance of the allocated loan amount for such Mortgaged Property; (iii) the borrowers deliver a joinder agreement adding the two property owners as borrowers under the Whole Loan documents; (iv) the borrowers deliver updated organizational documents, security documents, amendments, third party reports and title endorsements and survey updates required by the Whole Loan documents; (v) the loan-to-value ratio based on the allocated loan amount for each Mortgaged Property is not greater than 65.5%; (vi) all construction work at the Mortgaged Properties has been completed and there are no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmans’ liens or notices of intention to file the same (unless bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of the lender or discharged of record); and (vii) the applicable Mortgaged Property is 100% occupied by tenants paying full and unabated rent pursuant to leases approved by the lender.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing sixty-five (65) Mortgaged Properties representing approximately 7.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, four (4) individual Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Shawnee Hampton Inn”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Toledo Homewood Suites”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Grand Rapids Homewood Suites” and “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Courtyard Chico” on Annex A-1 are undergoing or plan to undergo franchise-mandated renovations and improvements to various parts of the respective Mortgaged Properties to be completed by the completion dates set forth in the respective PIPs. With respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Waco Residence Inn” and “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Cheyenne Fairfield Inn and Suites” on Annex A-1, there is no related PIP, and the reserved amounts are required to be used for the periodic renovation work required by the related franchise agreements. In the case of each of the related Mortgaged Properties, any failure to complete the PIPs or renovations required by the related franchise agreements could result in a termination of the franchise agreement with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

 

 143

 

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the guarantor delivered a completion guaranty in the amount of $15,570,000 in connection with a proposed renovation of the Mortgaged Property. The renovation is expected to include capital repairs and improvements to the parking areas, building entrances, landscaping, signage, flooring, ceilings and seating areas, as well as new paint for all mall surfaces, removing the water fountain and reconfiguring ramps and other interior renovations. According to the sponsor, the renovation is expected to commence in July 2017 and be completed in April 2018. The loan agreement requires that the guaranteed amount be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon receipt of an officer’s certificate indicating that one or more of the individual renovations described in the Mortgage Loan documents has been completed in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower is required under the related franchise agreement to complete a PIP at the Mortgaged Property by June 14, 2019 in connection with the re-branding of the Mortgaged Property to a Sheraton by Marriott. The borrower deposited $4,187,000 into a PIP reserve account at origination. The PIP includes renovations to the lobby and lounge, public restrooms, guest rooms, and the business center, as well as updates to the guest room amenities, public area light fixtures, signage, indoor pool and fitness center equipment. In connection with the re-branding, the borrower will be required to enter into the franchisor’s then-current form of franchise agreement for the Sheraton Hotels and Resorts System, which franchise agreement is subject to the lender’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The borrower’s failure to complete the PIP by the deadline constitute a breach of the franchise agreement and may result in termination of the franchise agreement if the borrower fails to cure such default within 30 days’ notice of default.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Springhill Suites Newark Airport” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, $1,700,000 was reserved at origination of the Mortgage Loan in connection with a PIP required under the related franchise agreement to renovate internal and external areas. Additionally, during the first 12 months of the Mortgage Loan term, $11,667 will be deposited monthly into the PIP reserve and during the first 24 months of the Mortgage Loan term, 2% of total revenues will be deposited into the PIP reserve, all of which will result in an estimated $2.18 million being deposited into the PIP reserve by July of 2019. The PIP will be completed in two phases: first phase to be completed in 2018 with a budgeted cost of $277,446 and the second phase in 2020 with a budgeted cost of $1,557,382. The first phase will consist of renovations to the exterior of the building, ADA certification, technology updates, upgrades to public spaces, and fire protection and other safety updates. The second phase will consist of renovations to public space, guestrooms, guestroom support areas, elevators, stairwells, recreation areas and meeting spaces.

 

With respect to five (5) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrowers were required to reserve $5,115,704 at origination for PIPs or renovations required by the related franchise agreements at four of the five Mortgaged Properties. The Mortgage Loan documents allocate the renovation reserve funds to the Mortgaged Properties as follows: (i) $2,219,635 to the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington-University Ctr.”, (ii) $451,600 to the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Charlotte Northlake”, (iii) $874,787 to the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Comfort Suites Gastonia” and (iv) $1,462,484 to the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio—Fairfield Inn Myrtle Beach North”. The PIP renovations will include upgrades to the guestrooms and bathrooms, installation of electronic door locks, technology and safety updates and replacement of hardware, fixtures, lighting and wall finishes. All of the renovations are expected to be completed within two years of the Mortgage Loan origination.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Alexandria Corporate Park” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, the largest tenant, General Services Administration (“GSA”), is performing an elective renovation of a portion of its space, which is estimated by the tenant to cost approximately $15.0 million, at its sole cost and expense.

 

 144

 

 

There can be no assurance that this will not adversely affect the performance at the property, that such renovation will be completed on time, or that there will be sufficient reserves available to cover the planned renovations. Certain risks related to redevelopment, renovation and expansion at a Mortgaged Property are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Redevelopment, Expansion and Renovation at Mortgaged Properties”.

 

Assessments of Property Value and Condition

 

Appraisals

 

For each Mortgaged Property, the related mortgage loan seller obtained a current (within eight (8) months of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan) full narrative appraisal conforming at least to the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”). See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers —JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Appraisal and LTV Ratio”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Assessments of Property Condition—Appraisals” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Assessments of Property Condition—Appraisals”.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

 

Engineering Reports

 

In connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan included in the trust, other than as identified below, the related mortgage loan seller or other originator obtained an engineering report with respect to the related Mortgaged Property with an engineering report dated within seven (7) months of the Cut-off Date.

 

See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Physical Assessment Report” “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Assessments of Property Condition—Engineering Assessment” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Assessments of Property Condition—Property Condition Assessments”.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance and Condemnation

 

In connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan included in the trust, the related mortgage loan seller or other originator generally examined whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral was in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Zoning and Building Code Compliance”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Zoning and Building Code Compliance” and “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC— SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Assessments of Property Condition—Zoning and Building Code Compliance”.

 

In addition to the foregoing, (i) certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to zoning violations relating to maintenance and inspection requirements with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, for which the related Mortgage Loan documents generally require the related borrowers to reserve funds to remedy the violations, (ii) the use of certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be legal non-conforming uses that may be prohibited or restricted after certain events, such as casualties and (iii) certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to restrictions that restrict renovations at the Mortgaged Properties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions”.

 

 145

 

 

In the case of Mortgage Loans for which the related borrower is required to maintain law or ordinance insurance coverage, such law and ordinance insurance coverage does not provide any coverage for lost future rents or other damages from the inability to restore the property to its prior use or structure or for any loss of value to the related property.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” and see representation and warranty number 26 in Annex D-1 and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in Annex D-2.

 

Litigation and Other Considerations

 

There may be pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or other past or present adverse regulatory circumstances experienced by, the borrowers, their sponsors and managers of the Mortgaged Properties and their respective affiliates arising out of the ordinary business of the borrowers, their sponsors, managers and affiliates or such persons may be or may have been subject to other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings). For example:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “The Shoppes at Fort Wayne” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the guarantor, George P. Broadbent, was the guarantor of a commercial real estate loan made by Fifth Third Bank that went into maturity default in June 2014. The related property was sold and the proceeds paid to the lender. The lender has obtained a judgment for approximately $3,179,000 against Mr. Broadbent under the guaranty, and Mr. Broadbent has indicated that he is pursuing a resolution.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower, the guarantors and the managing members of the borrower, Lisa Ward and Stephen Mottola, are the plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit against Glenn Schmalhofer, who previously owned one-third equity interest in the borrower. The litigation involves a breach of a settlement contract governing the buy-out of Mr. Schmalhofer’s interest in the borrower. The Delaware Court of Chancery ruled that Mr. Schmalhofer breached the settlement agreement when he failed to consummate the sale of his interest to the guarantors. The court ordered the completion of the sale pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. Mr. Schmalhofer has appealed the decision by the Delaware Court of Chancery to the Supreme Court of Delaware. As of May 26, 2017, the briefing in the Delaware Supreme Court with respect to the value of the interest in regards to the breach of the settlement agreement is complete and the parties are currently waiting for a decision. According to a letter from litigation counsel to the sponsors, the maximum exposure for the borrower as a result of the claims is $64,315.60, and the maximum exposure to the sponsors and guarantors is $816,666.66 (which amount represents the difference in the appraisal obtained by the sponsors if the Delaware Supreme Court reverses the Court of Chancery or remands the case with instructions to use three appraisals as required by the operating agreement). The sponsor has indicated that it believes there is a low probability that the Delaware Supreme Court could overturn the Court of Chancery’s decision, which would undo the sale of the equity interests from Mr. Schmalhofer. In addition, Mr. Schmalhofer has been granted a security interest in 1/3 of the equity ownership interests in the borrower as collateral for the settlement payments, and in the event of a failure to pay any settlement payments or other breach of the settlement agreement, Mr. Schmalhofer could potentially commence an enforcement action to realize on his collateral. At origination, the borrower was required to reserve $486,042.28 into a reserve related to the settlement payments due to the former partner. The Mortgage Loan documents also provide for a nonrecourse carve-out for any losses resulting from the settlement agreement or related documents or the underlying litigation, and until the release conditions for the reserve have been satisfied, the borrower and the guarantors are obligated to the lender for the full amount of the claims related to the settlement agreement.

Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings

 

Certain of the borrower sponsors and/or entities controlled thereby have been a party to bankruptcy proceedings, mortgage loan defaults and restructures, discounted payoffs, foreclosure proceedings or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions, or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings) in the past. In some cases, Mortgaged Properties securing certain of the Mortgage Loans previously secured other loans that had been in default, restructured or the subject of a discounted payoff, foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

 

With respect to twenty-seven (27) Mortgaged Properties or portfolios of Mortgaged Properties identified as “West Town Mall”, “Texas Retail Portfolio”, “Torre Plaza”, “Marriott Park City”, “St. Luke’s Office”, “Apex Fort Washington”, “Carolina Hotel Portfolio”, “Waxahachie Towne Center”, “Alexandria Corporate Park”, “Marcel Commons”, “Professional Centre at Gardens Mall”, “The Shoppes at Fort Wayne”, “Edison Park Center”, “478 Third Avenue”, “Village Square Apartments”, “Georgetown South Apartments”, “Coral Springs Business Warehouse Center” and “South Haven Village” on Annex A-1, securing eighteen (18) Mortgage Loans collectively representing approximately 31.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, within the last 10 years, borrower sponsors or key principals (or affiliates of borrower sponsors or key principals) have previously sponsored real estate projects (including in some such cases, the particular Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties in this trust (which Mortgaged Properties, in certain cases, involved prior owners in connection with financings unrelated to the Mortgage Loans)) that became or are currently the subject of foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, short sale, discounted pay offs, loan restructuring, forbearance agreement, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally”, “—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” and “—Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions”.

 

In particular, with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans we note the following:

 

With respect to four (4) Mortgaged Properties identified as “West Town Mall”, “Torre Plaza”, “Marriott Park City” and “St. Luke’s Office” on Annex A-1, securing four (4) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 11.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower sponsor has sponsored other real estate projects over the last 10 years that have been the subject of mortgage loan defaults, modifications, discounted payoffs, foreclosure proceedings and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure.

 

With respect to six (6) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Texas Retail Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower sponsor and non-recourse carveout guarantor, Mark Kaufman, was the non-recourse carveout guarantor with respect to two properties financed with a CMBS loan of $11.6 million which was held in the GCCFC 2005-GG5 securitization trust. The loan went into default and, on or about July 2009, LNR Partners, LLC (“LNR”), an affiliate of the related mortgage loan seller and originator under the Mortgage Loan, as the special servicer, foreclosed on one property; however Mr. Kaufman filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the owner of the second property before LNR could foreclose on such property. The automatic stay was subsequently lifted, LNR completed its foreclosure on the second property and subsequently obtained a judgment against Mr. Kaufman under the non-recourse carveout guarantee as a result of the bankruptcy filing. On January 9, 2017, LNR and Mr. Kaufman entered into a settlement agreement with respect to this judgment. The settlement agreement requires Mr. Kaufman to pay a total settlement amount of $1,250,000, including monthly payments of $50,000 through March 15, 2018, and a payment of $200,000 on or before April 16, 2018. All payments due to date have been paid in full and the unpaid balance is currently $650,000.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Apex Fort Washington” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property was previously encumbered by two cross-collateralized/cross-defaulted loans totaling $49.0 million that were securitized as part of the GMAC 2004-C1 securitization. The loans transferred to special servicing in March 2010 after a major tenant vacated the property and the

 

 147

 

 

  trust subsequently foreclosed on the property in March 2011. The prior owner acquired the property from the trust in January 2015 for $30.2 million at which time the occupancy at the property was approximately 79.0%. At the time of the prior acquisition, two tenants had given notice of their intention to vacate and occupancy was expected to decline to 42.0%. After the 2015 acquisition, the prior owner invested approximately $17.0 million in interior renovations and common area upgrades, and executed six new leases to six new tenants totaling approximately 192,000 square feet and approximately $4.47 million of base rent. Upon completion of the capital improvements and renovation, and lease-up of the property to 91.9% occupancy (which percentage includes tenants not yet in occupancy or in free rent periods, and one tenant that is dark but paying rent), the prior owner sold the property to the current loan sponsor for approximately $74.1 million (after adjustments). Such prior owner is unaffiliated with the current borrower under the Mortgage Loan, except that a holder of an indirect, non-controlling 2.0% equity interest in the current borrower is affiliated with an entity which held an indirect, non-controlling 5.0% equity interest in the prior owner.

 

Twenty-two (22) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 54.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, were originated in connection with the borrower’s refinancing of a previous mortgage loan.

 

Fourteen (14) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 43.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, were originated in connection with the borrower’s acquisition of the related Mortgaged Properties.

 

One (1) Mortgage Loan, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, was originated in connection with the borrower’s refinancing of a previous mortgage loan and acquisition of a parcel of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

Certain risks relating to bankruptcy proceedings are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage LoansA Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans” and “—Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Tenant Issues

 

Tenant Concentrations

 

The Mortgaged Properties have tenant concentrations as set forth below:

 

Fifty-one (51) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Eastgate”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1405 Worldwide”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1200 Worldwide”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—100 Corporate Lakes”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Design Road”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1300 Corporate Lakes”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—7 Boulden Circle”, “211 Main Street”, “Torre Plaza” and “Flowserve Pumps” on Annex A-1, securing in whole or in part five (5) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 24.2% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount are leased to a single tenant. With respect to certain of these Mortgage Loans, the single tenant’s lease may expire prior to or shortly after the related maturity date. See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the single tenants at these respective Mortgaged Properties.

 

Three (3) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—2055 Global Way”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Landmark” and “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—2 Boulden Circle” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.5% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, are each leased to a tenant that makes up 50% or more (but less than 100%) of the rentable square footage.

Lease Expirations and Terminations

 

Expirations.

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to tenant leases that expire before the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan. For tenant lease expiration information in the form of a lease rollover chart relating to each of the top 15 Mortgage Loans, see the related summaries attached as Annex A-3. In addition, see Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the five largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office, mixed use and industrial Mortgaged Property. Even if none of the top five tenants at a particular Mortgaged Property have leases that expire before, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, there may still be a significant percentage of leases at a particular Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year or a rolling 12-month period. Furthermore, some of the Mortgaged Properties have significant leases or a significant concentration of leases that expire before, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

In certain cases, the lease of a single tenant, major tenant or anchor tenant at a multi-tenanted Mortgaged Property expires prior to the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured, in whole or in part, by the Mortgaged Property identified in the table below, such Mortgaged Property is occupied by a single tenant under a lease which expires prior to, or in the same year of, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan.

In addition, with respect to certain other Mortgaged Properties, there are leases that represent in the aggregate a material portion (but less than 50%) of the net rentable square footage of the related Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year prior to, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office, mixed use and industrial Mortgaged Property.

 

Terminations.

 

In addition to termination options tied to certain triggers as described in “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow” that are common with respect to retail properties, certain tenant leases permit the related tenant to terminate its lease at any time. For example (with respect to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans and the largest 5 tenants at each Mortgaged Property):

 

Sixteen (16) Mortgaged Properties identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Carrier”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—FCA/Caterpillar”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio—Saint-Gobain Warehouse”, “First Stamford Place”, “West Town Mall”, “Texas Retail Portfolio”, “Torre Plaza”, “Crystal Corporate Center”, “St. Luke’s Office” and “Apex Fort Washington” on Annex A-1, securing or partially securing nine (9) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 34.8% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, are each subject to leases where one or more of the top 5 tenants at such Mortgaged Property either has the right to terminate its lease during the term of the loan, prior to the stated expiration of the full lease term and during the term of the related Mortgage Loan (either at such tenant’s option or for reasons other than a landlord default under the applicable lease, including as a result of the trigger of co tenancy provisions) and/or the right to reduce such tenant’s total leased space or reduce the related rent at the related Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related lease. See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto for additional information on the top five tenants at the related Mortgaged Properties.

Government-sponsored tenants may have the right to rent reductions or may be able to cancel their leases at any time for lack of appropriations or as a result of a government shutdown or for damage to the leased premises caused by casualty or condemnation. In some of these cases, the government-sponsored tenant may have the right to terminate its lease at any time for any reason. Set forth below are certain government leases that individually represent more than 5% of the underwritten base rent at the related Mortgaged Property and have these types of risks. See also “Risk Factors—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”.

Other.

 

Tenants under certain leases included in the Underwritten Net Cash Flow, Underwritten NOI and/or Occupancy may not be in physical occupancy, may not have begun paying rent or may be in negotiation. For example, with respect to single tenant properties or tenants that are one of the top five tenants by net rentable square footage at a Mortgaged Property or tenants individually or in the aggregate representing more than 25% of the net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property, certain of such tenants have not taken possession or commenced paying rent or are in rent abatement periods or sublease a material portion of their property, as set forth below with respect to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans and the five largest tenants listed on Annex A-3:

 

With respect to five (5) of the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—1300 Corporate Lakes”, “First Stamford Place”, “St. Luke’s Office” and “Apex Fort Washington” securing four (4) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 12.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the five largest tenants at such Mortgaged Property (by net rentable area leased) include tenants that (i) have renewed leases or have taken possession of the space demised under the related lease with the related borrower, but have not yet commenced payments of rent or are in a rent abatement period under the related lease, (ii) have executed leases, but have not taken possession or commenced payment of rent, (iii) are in a buildout phase and have not taken occupancy, (iv) are expanding their space but have not commenced payment of the additional rent, (v) renewed leases that provide free rent and have not commenced payment of rent, or (vi) are entitled to free rent periods or rent abatement in the future. In certain circumstances, an escrow reserve, guaranty or letter of credit related to free rent periods and tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions due in connection with such leases was funded or provided at closing. See Annex A-1 and the accompanying footnotes for additional information with respect to these Mortgage Loans.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 9.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the third largest tenant, Major League Baseball (which accounts for approximately 12.6% of the net rentable square feet and approximately 21.8% of the underwritten base rent at the Mortgaged Property), executed a lease at another property and has declared its intention to move into such space in 2019 (approximately three years before its lease expiration date in October 2022).

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, Occupancy, UW Revenues, UW NOI and UW NCF include space leased by eight tenants accounting for a combined 41,072 square feet, representing 5.3% of net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property,

 

 151

 

 

and approximately $1.3 million in underwritten base rent, representing 7.2% of underwritten base rent, for which the tenants have signed leases but are not yet in occupancy or paying rent.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Apex Fort Washington” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the fourth largest tenant, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (“AstraZeneca”), leasing approximately 11.7% of the net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property, is currently dark in its entire space but it continues to pay rent. At origination, the borrower deposited approximately $4,661,340 into a leasing reserve account, of which up to $1,750,000 may be released to the borrower on a per square foot basis in the event the borrower executes one or more satisfactory replacement leases for all or a portion of such space, subject to satisfaction of all conditions in the related Mortgaged Loan documents and provided that any related tenant improvement and leasing costs are required to be paid from such released funds. AstraZeneca recently subleased its space to Softerware, Inc. with a sublease commencement date of August 1, 2017 and an expiration date of August 31, 2024; however, none of the leasing reserve funds have yet been released.

 

In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing a Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower has the right to terminate its lease with Belk Department Stores LP (“Belk”) with respect to the largest tenant, Belk Women’s Store, in connection with the movement of that tenant to another space at the Mortgaged Property effective 365 days following (i) its delivery to the lessee with written notice on or before (but not earlier than 10 business days before) February 1, 2018, February 1, 2019 or February 1, 2020 and (ii) the delivery of 30,765 square feet of existing space located adjacent to the Belk Men Home & Kids space, which is currently occupied by in-line tenants. In the event that the Borrower does not exercise or waives such right, Belk must renovate the interiors of its Belk Women’s Store and Belk Men Home & Kids spaces at a cost of not less than $4.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In the event the related borrower exercises its right to terminate its lease with Belk’s Women’s Store, the tenant occupying the Belk Men Home & Kids space is expected to renovate the 30,765 square feet of space delivered by the related borrower at the tenant’s expense; however there is no required minimum that the tenant must expend in connection with any such renovation.

 

In addition, certain other Mortgaged Properties may have tenants among the 5 largest tenants that have not taken possession or commenced paying rent. See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto for additional information on the top five tenants at the related Mortgaged Properties.

 

Certain of the Mortgage Loans may also have tenants who are leasing their spaces on a month-to-month basis and have the right to terminate their leases on a monthly basis.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Failed Assumptions”.

 

See Annex A-3 for more information on other tenant matters relating to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans.

 

Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal

 

Below are certain purchase options and rights of first refusal to purchase all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property with respect to certain of the Mortgaged Properties.

 

With respect to five (5) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Terrell”, “Marriott Park City”, “St. Luke’s Office”, “Waxahachie Towne Center” and “The Shoppes at Fort Wayne” on Annex A-1, securing or partially securing five (5) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 7.9% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, certain tenants, franchisors, property managers, ground lessors, developers or owners’ associations at such Mortgaged Properties or other parties have a purchase option or a right of first refusal or right of first offer, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to purchase all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property in the event the related borrower decides to sell the related Mortgaged Property or a portion thereof, as applicable. See “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Partial Releases”.

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Leases That Are Not Subordinated to the Lien of the Mortgage or Do Not Contain Attornment Provisions May Have an Adverse Impact at Foreclosure”.

 

Affiliated Leases

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are leased in whole or in part by borrowers or borrower affiliates. Set forth below are examples of Mortgaged Properties or portfolios of Mortgaged Properties at which at least 20% of (i) the gross income at the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties relates to leases between the borrower and an affiliate of the borrower or (ii) the net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties is leased to an affiliate of the borrower:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.9% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the retail unit of the Mortgaged Property is master leased by the borrower to 478 BT Inc., an affiliate, which subleases the retail unit to 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”). Pursuant to the consent and recognition agreement dated as of December 2, 2013, by and between the borrower and 7-Eleven, in the event the master lease terminates, the sublease becomes a direct lease between the borrower and 7-Eleven.

 

Insurance Considerations

 

The Mortgage Loans generally require that each Mortgaged Property be insured by a hazard insurance policy in an amount (subject to an approved deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and 100% of the replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property, and if applicable, that the related hazard insurance policy contain appropriate endorsements or have been issued in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of co-insurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation; provided that, in the case of certain of the Mortgage Loans, the hazard insurance may be in such other amounts as was required by the related originators.

 

In general, the standard form of hazard insurance policy covers physical damage to, or destruction of, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion, subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth in each policy. Each Mortgage Loan generally also requires the related borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Mortgaged Property in an amount generally equal to at least $1,000,000. Each Mortgage Loan generally further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption insurance in an amount not less than approximately 100% of the gross rental income from the related Mortgaged Property for not less than 12 months. In general, the Mortgage Loans (including those secured by Mortgaged Properties located in California) do not require earthquake insurance. In particular, nineteen (19) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Eastgate”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Landmark”, “Treeview Industrial Portfolio—Sabre Street” “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Sunnyvale”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Milpitas”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Campbell”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing San Francisco”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Pleasanton”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Bellevue”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Sacramento”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Hillsboro”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Renton”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Courtyard Chico”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Residence Inn Chico”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Folsom”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Larkspur Landing Roseville”, “211 Main Street”, “Torre Plaza” and “Marriott Park City”, on Annex A-1, securing five (5) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 16.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in an area that is considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zone 3 or 4). Seismic reports were prepared with respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on those reports, no Mortgaged Property has a seismic expected loss greater than 18%.

 

 153

 

 

In the case of one-hundred nine (109) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio”, “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio”, “First Stamford Place”, “211 Main Street”, “West Town Mall”, “Texas Retail Portfolio”, “Torre Plaza”, “Marriott Park City”, “Porter’s Vale Shopping Center”, “Springhill Suites Newark Airport”, “St. Luke’s Office”, “Depot Market Place”, “Columbus Office Portfolio I”, “Alexandria Corporate Park”, “Marcel Commons”, “Professional Centre at Gardens Mall”, “Greenville Retail Center”, “The Shoppes at Fort Wayne”, “Village Square Apartments”, “Georgetown South Apartments”, “Courtyard San Antonio Lackland” and “South Haven Village” on Annex A-1, securing twenty-two (22) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 62.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrowers maintain insurance under blanket policies.

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be insured by, or subject to self-insurance on the part of, a sole or significant tenant or the property manager as described below:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Torre Plaza” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the borrower to rely on the insurance provided by the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, provided that the sole tenant is required to maintain insurance policies that meet the requirements of the Mortgage Loan documents, the borrower provides evidence that the tenant does maintain such policies and paid all insurance premiums and the tenant’s lease is in full force and effect.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Depot Marketplace” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower may rely on the insurance of its largest tenant, Sprouts, with respect to its respective leased premises, provided such tenant provides third party insurance that satisfies the lender’s insurance requirements.

 

With respect to two (2) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Texas Retail Portfolio—Live Oak Shopping Center,” and “Texas Retail Portfolio—Sunburst Center” on Annex A-1, partially securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.1% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the related borrower may rely on the insurance of its largest tenant, Buffalo Wild Wings, with respect to its respective leased premises, provided such tenant provides third party insurance in accordance with the terms of its lease.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “The Shoppes at Fort Wayne” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 1.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower may rely on the insurance of its tenants, ALDI and Rally’s Restaurant, with respect to their respective leased premises, provided such tenants provide third party insurance in accordance with the terms of their respective leases.

 

See representation and warranty number 18 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

Further, with respect to Mortgaged Properties that are part of condominium regimes, the insurance may be maintained by the condominium association rather than the related borrower. Many Mortgage Loans contain limitations on the obligation to obtain terrorism insurance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”, and see representation and warranty number 31 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the identified exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance”.

 

 154

 

 

Use Restrictions

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to restrictions that restrict the use of such Mortgaged Properties to its current use, place other use restrictions on such Mortgaged Property or limit the related borrower’s ability to make changes to such Mortgaged Property.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” and see representation and warranty number 26 in Annex D-1 and the identified exceptions to those representations and warranties in Annex D-2.

 

In addition to the foregoing, (i) certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to zoning violations relating to maintenance and inspection requirements with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, for which the related Mortgage Loan documents generally require the related borrowers to reserve funds to remedy the violations, (ii) the use of certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be legal non-conforming uses that may be prohibited or restricted after certain events, such as casualties and (iii) certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to restrictions that restrict renovations at the Mortgaged Properties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions”.

 

Appraised Value

 

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values and values other than “as-is”. However, the Appraised Value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgaged Property reflects only the “as-is” value unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, Annex A-1 and/or the related footnotes. The values other than “as-is” may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancies. The table below shows the LTV and appraised value using values other than “as-is”, as well as the corresponding LTV and appraised value using “as is” values.

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

 

Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations

 

While the Mortgage Loans generally contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as liabilities as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters, certain of the Mortgage Loans may not contain such carveouts or contain limitations to such carveouts. In general, the liquidity and net worth of a non-recourse guarantor under a Mortgage Loan will be less, and may be materially less, than the outstanding principal amount of that Mortgage Loan. In addition, certain Mortgage Loans have additional limitations to the non-recourse carveouts. See representation and warranty number 28 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” for additional information.

 

With respect to forty-one (41) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no separate nonrecourse carve-out guarantor, and the borrower is the sole party responsible for breaches or violations of the nonrecourse carve-out provisions in the loan documents or the environmental indemnity. In lieu of having the non-recourse carveout guarantor be a party to the indemnity, the borrowers were required to obtain an environmental insurance policy against claims for pollution and remediation legal liability. The policy was issued by Great American E&S Insurance Company, with individual claim limits of $5,000,000 an aggregate claim limit of $35,000,000 and a $50,000 deductible. The policy names the lender as an additional insured. The current policy has an expiration date of May 19, 2027.

 

With respect to sixty-five (65) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 7.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the aggregate liability of the non-recourse carveout guarantor related to bankruptcy or insolvency actions may not exceed an amount equal to 20% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan outstanding at the time of the occurrence of such event, plus reasonable third-party collection costs actually incurred by the lender in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the guaranty or any other Whole Loan document.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the aggregate liability of the guarantor with respect to all full recourse carveouts in the Mortgage Loan documents may not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan outstanding at the time of the occurrence of such event, plus any and all reasonable third-party collection costs actually incurred by the lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred). In addition, the guarantor is not a party to the environmental indemnity and the borrower is the sole party responsible for losses under the indemnity. In lieu of having the guarantor be a party to the indemnity, the Mortgage Loan documents require environmental insurance against claims for pollution and remediation legal liability related to the Mortgaged Property (“PLL Policy”), meeting the following requirements: (a) the policy is required to be a claims made and reported policy for an initial term of nine years; (b) the policy is required to have limits of liability of $5,000,000 for each pollution condition and $5,000,000 in the aggregate; (c) the policy is required to have a self-insured retention amount of not more than $50,000 for each pollution condition; (d) the policy is required to name the lender as an additional named insured and provide automatic rights of assignment in the event of defaults; (e) the policy is required to be dedicated solely to the

 

 156

 

 

Mortgaged Property with the borrower not permitted to add any additional locations during the PLL Policy term; and (f) the policy is required to, throughout the PLL Policy term, include the same coverages, terms, conditions and endorsements (and may not be amended in any way without the prior written consent of the lender) as the PLL Policy approved at origination. See “—Environmental Considerations”.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the aggregate liability of the guarantor under the nonrecourse carve-out guaranty may not exceed $42,000,000, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the lender in the enforcement of the guaranty or the preservation of its rights under the guaranty.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “St. Luke’s Office” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents do not provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the borrower and guarantor for transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the borrower made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents to the extent that such violation relates to certain involuntary transfers, including, but not limited to, (i) any involuntary lien, involuntary transfer or involuntary conveyance by the borrower of any interest in the Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) and (ii) any involuntary transfer, involuntary conveyance, involuntary pledge or involuntary encumbrance of any direct and/or indirect interest in the borrower or its managing member in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; however, the Mortgage Loan documents do provide recourse to the borrower and guarantor for losses to the lender in connection with such transfers.

 

The non-recourse carveout provisions contained in certain of the Mortgage Loan documents may also limit the liability of the non-recourse carveout guarantor for certain monetary obligations or covenants related to the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property only to the extent that there is sufficient cash flow generated by the Mortgaged Property and made available to the related borrower and/or non-recourse carveout guarantor to take or prevent such required action.

 

The environmental indemnities for certain of the Mortgage Loans contain a sunset on the borrower’s and/or the non-recourse carveout guarantor’s obligations and liability for claims asserted after a specified period of time (generally between one and three years) upon certain conditions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents including, without limitation, delivery of an acceptable updated Phase I or Phase II environmental assessment in certain cases. See representation and warranty number 42 in “Annex D-1—Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” and the exceptions to that representation and warranty in “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” for additional information.

 

In addition, there may be impediments and/or difficulties in enforcing some or all of the non-recourse carveout liability obligations of individual guarantors depending on the domicile or citizenship of the guarantor.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Mortgage Loans Are Non-Recourse and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed”.

 

Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations

 

Below are descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain Mortgaged Properties.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Courtyard San Antonio Lackland” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property was recently reassessed for property tax purposes at $6.8 million for the 2017-2018 tax year versus the current assessed value of $5.2 million. The related borrower is in the process of protesting such assessment and according to a tax consultant, the final

 

 157

 

 

assessment is expected to be between $5.8 million–$6.3 million based on annual revenue increases at the Mortgaged Property, which is the typical basis for assessing hotel properties in Texas. The lender underwrote taxes based on a $6.3 million tax assessment, which is the high end of the range estimated by the tax consultant. Historically, tax assessments have been protested on an annual basis, with assessed values having been reduced in each of the last 3 years.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds”.

 

Delinquency Information

 

None of the Mortgage Loans were 30 days or more delinquent as of the Cut-off Date, and no Mortgage Loan has been 30 days or more delinquent during the 12 months preceding the Cut-off Date (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months). A Mortgage Loan will be treated as 30 days delinquent if the scheduled payment for a due date is not received from the related borrower by the immediately following due date.

 

Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans

 

Amortization of Principal

 

The Mortgage Loans provide for one or more of the following:

 

Eight (8) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 50.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, are interest-only for the entire term of the Mortgage Loans.

 

Nineteen (19) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 31.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for payments of interest only for the first 12 to 60 months following the origination date and thereafter provide for regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal based on an amortization period longer than the remaining term of the related Mortgage Loan and therefore have an expected Balloon Balance at the related maturity date.

  

Ten (10) Mortgage Loans (excluding interest-only and partial interest-only Mortgage Loans) representing approximately 18.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for payments of interest and principal and then have an expected Balloon Balance at the maturity date.

 

Due Dates; Mortgage Rates; Calculations of Interest

 

Subject in some cases to a next business day convention, all of the Mortgage Loans have due dates upon which scheduled payments of principal, interest or both are required to be made by the related borrower under the related Mortgage Note (each such date, a “Due Date”) that occur as described in the following table:

 

Overview of Due Dates

 

Due Date   Number of
Mortgage
Loans
  Aggregate Principal
Balance of Mortgage
Loans
  Approx. % of
Initial Pool Balance
1  8   $346,000,000   42.7%
5  1    70,000,000   8.6 
6  28    395,002,952   48.7 
Total:   37   $811,002,952   100.0%

 

 158

 

 

The Mortgage Loans have grace periods as set forth in the following table:

 

Overview of Grace Periods

 

Grace Period (Default) Days   Number of
Mortgage Loans
  % of Initial Pool
Balance
0  35   91.0%
5 (once per year)   1   8.0 
5  1   1.0 
Total   37   100.0%

 

As used in this prospectus, “grace period” is the number of days before a payment default is an event of default under the terms of each Mortgage Loan. See Annex A-1 for information on the number of days before late payment charges are due under the Mortgage Loans. The information on Annex A-1 regarding the number of days before a late payment charge is due is based on the express terms of the Mortgage Loans. Some jurisdictions may impose a statutorily longer period.

 

All of the Mortgage Loans are secured by first liens on fee simple and/or leasehold interests in the related Mortgaged Properties, subject to the permitted exceptions reflected in the related title insurance policy. See “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” above. All of the Mortgage Loans bear fixed interest rates.

 

All of the Mortgage Loans accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days in a month, assuming a 360-day year (“Actual/360 Basis”).

 

Single Purpose Entity Covenants

 

Certain of the borrowers do not have an independent director in place. For example, with respect to Mortgage Loans with an initial principal balance greater than $20,000,000, one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no independent director in place with respect to the related borrower.

 

See “—Additional Indebtedness” below. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments

 

All of the Mortgage Loans have a degree of voluntary prepayment protection in the form of prepayment lockout, defeasance and/or yield maintenance provisions. Voluntary prepayments, if permitted, generally require the payment of a yield maintenance charge or a prepayment premium unless the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is prepaid within a specified period (ranging from approximately 3 to 7 payments) up to and including the stated maturity date. See Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 for more information on the prepayment protections attributable to the Mortgage Loans on a loan-by-loan basis and a pool basis.

 

Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans may provide that, in the event of the exercise of a purchase option by a tenant or the sale of real property or the release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgage Loans may be prepaid in part prior to the expiration of a prepayment/defeasance lockout provision. See “—Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal” and “—Partial Releases” in this prospectus.

 

Generally, no yield maintenance charge will be required for prepayments in connection with a casualty or condemnation, unless, in the case of most of the Mortgage Loans, an event of default has occurred and is continuing. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” in the prospectus. In addition, certain of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower, after a total or partial casualty or partial condemnation, to prepay the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (after application of the

 

 159

 

 

related insurance proceeds or condemnation award to pay the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan), which may not be accompanied by any prepayment consideration. Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans may provide that, with respect to a Mortgaged Property that did not comply with the then current applicable zoning rules and regulations as of the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, in the event the related borrower is unable to obtain a variance that permits the continuation of the nonconformance(s) and/or the restoration thereof, as applicable, due to casualty, governmental action and/or any other reason, the related borrower will be required to partially prepay the Mortgage Loan in order to meet certain loan-to-value ratio and/or debt service coverage ratio requirements, if applicable, which partial prepayment may occur during a lockout period and without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium. See “—Assessments of Property Value and Condition—Zoning and Building Code Compliance and Condemnation” in this prospectus.

 

Certain of the Mortgage Loans are secured in part by letters of credit and/or cash reserves that in each such case:

 

will be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction by the related borrower of certain performance related conditions, which may include, in some cases, meeting debt service coverage ratio levels and/or satisfying leasing conditions; and

 

if not so released, may, at the discretion of the lender, prior to loan maturity (or earlier loan default or loan acceleration), be drawn on and/or applied to prepay the subject Mortgage Loan if such performance related conditions are not satisfied within specified time periods.

 

See Annex A-1 and Annex A-3 for more information on reserves relating to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans.

 

Voluntary Prepayments.

 

As of origination, the following prepayment restrictions and defeasance provisions applied to the Mortgage Loans:

 

With respect to five (5) of the Mortgage Loans, identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio”, “Crystal Corporate Center”, “Springhill Suites Newark Airport”, “Depot Marketplace” and “Coral Springs Business Warehouse Center” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 15.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, permit the related borrower, after a lockout period of 12 to 35 payments following the origination date, to prepay the Mortgage Loan with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the prepaid amount if such prepayment occurs prior to the related open prepayment period.

 

With respect to forty-one (41) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrowers, after a lockout period of the earlier of at least 25 payments following the closing date of the securitization that includes the last note to be securitized and May 19, 2020, to defease the Mortgage Loan or, after June 5, 2019, to prepay the Mortgage Loan in part in connection with a partial release of an individual Mortgaged Property or a prepayment to achieve the required debt yield in connection with such partial release, with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the prepaid amount (plus an additional 10.0% of the release price of such Mortgaged Property) if such prepayment occurs prior to the related open prepayment period. See “—Partial Releases” below for additional information.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property, identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1 securing one (1) Mortgage Loan, representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to defease the Mortgage Loan in full the earlier of two years after the closing date of the securitization that includes that last pari passu note to be securitized and May 6, 2020. In addition, the borrower may prepay the Mortgage Loan at any time, in full or in part, with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the prepaid amount if such prepayment occurs prior to the related open prepayment period.

 

 160

 

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property, identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower, after a lockout period of at least 24 payments allocable to the Mortgage Loan following the origination date, to (1) prepay the Mortgage Loan with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the prepaid amount if such prepayment occurs prior to the related open prepayment period or (2) defease the Mortgage Loan. See “—Defeasance; Collateral Substitution” below.

 

With respect to three (3) Mortgage Loans identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio”, “First Stamford Place” and “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 20.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to prepay the Mortgage Loan in part in order to cure a cash sweep period.

 

The Mortgage Loans generally permit voluntary prepayment without payment of a yield maintenance charge or any prepayment premium during a limited “open period” immediately prior to and including the stated maturity date, as follows:

(1)See Annex A-1 for specific criteria applicable to the Mortgage Loans.

 

See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions”.

 

“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions

 

The Mortgage Loans generally contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses, which in each case permits the holder of the Mortgage Loan to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan if the related borrower sells or otherwise transfers or encumbers (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) the related Mortgaged Property or a controlling interest in the borrower without the consent of the mortgagee (which, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld). Many of the Mortgage Loans place certain restrictions (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations. The terms of the mortgages generally permit, subject to certain limitations, affiliate, estate planning and family transfers, transfers at death, transfers of interest in a public company, the transfer or pledge of less than a controlling portion of the partnership, members’ or other equity interests in a borrower, the transfer or pledge of passive equity interests in a borrower (such as limited partnership interests and non-managing member interests in a limited liability company) and transfers to persons satisfying qualification criteria set forth in the related loan documents. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of direct or indirect ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in the related borrower by imposing a specific percentage, a control limitation or requiring the consent of the mortgagee to any such transfer. Generally, the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit transfers of non-controlling interests so long as no change of control results or, with respect to Mortgage Loans to tenant-in-common borrowers, transfers to new tenant-in-common borrowers. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

 

 161

 

 

Additionally, certain of the Mortgage Loans provide that transfers of the Mortgaged Property are permitted if certain conditions are satisfied, which may include one or more of the following:

 

no event of default has occurred;

 

the proposed transferee is creditworthy and has sufficient experience in the ownership and management of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property;

 

a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained from each of the Rating Agencies;

 

the transferee has executed and delivered an assumption agreement evidencing its agreement to abide by the terms of the Mortgage Loan together with legal opinions and title insurance endorsements; and

 

the assumption fee has been received (which assumption fee will be paid as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, but will in no event be paid to the Certificateholders); however, certain of the Mortgage Loans allow the borrower to sell or otherwise transfer the related Mortgaged Property a limited number of times without paying an assumption fee.

 

Transfers resulting from the foreclosure of a pledge of the collateral for a mezzanine loan (if any) will also result in a permitted transfer. See “—Additional Indebtedness” below.

 

Defeasance; Collateral Substitution

 

The terms of thirty-two (32) of the Mortgage Loans (the “Defeasance Loans”), representing approximately 84.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, permit the applicable borrower at any time (provided no event of default exists) after a specified period (the “Defeasance Lock-Out Period”) to obtain a release of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage (a “Defeasance Option”) in connection with a defeasance. With respect to all of the Defeasance Loans, the Defeasance Lock-Out Period ends at least two years after the Closing Date.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to prepay the related Mortgage Loan with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium of 1.0% at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, including prior to the expiration of the related Defeasance Lock Out Period.

 

The terms of one (1) Mortgage Loan identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, permit the related borrower at any time after the related Defeasance Lock-Out Period to either prepay the related Mortgage Loan together with the payment of the greater of a yield maintenance charge and a prepayment premium or defease the related Mortgage Loan.

 

With respect to four (4) Mortgage Loans identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio”, “First Stamford Place”, “West Town Mall” and “Torre Plaza” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 22.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to prepay the related Mortgage Loan upon the occurrence of a certain date with yield maintenance premium if the related Defeasance Lock-Out Period has not expired by such date.

 

Exercise of a Defeasance Option is also generally conditioned on, among other things, (a) the borrower providing the mortgagee with at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on which such defeasance will occur (such date, the “Release Date”), and (b) the borrower (A) paying on any Release Date (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or, the related Whole Loan) up to and including the Release Date, (ii) all other sums (excluding scheduled interest or principal payments due following the Release Date), due under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and under all other loan documents executed in connection with the Defeasance Option, (iii) an amount (the “Defeasance Deposit”) that will be sufficient to (x) purchase non-callable obligations of, or backed by the full faith and

 

 162

 

 

credit of, the United States of America or, in certain cases, other “government securities” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and otherwise satisfying REMIC requirements for defeasance collateral), that provide payments (1) on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled due dates occurring during the period from the Release Date to the related maturity date (or to the first day of the open period for such Mortgage Loan) (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and (2) in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such due dates under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable), or under the defeased portion of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) in the case of a partial defeasance, including in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a balloon payment due at maturity, the balloon payment, and (y) pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of such government securities, and (B) delivering a security agreement granting the issuing entity a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and, in certain cases, the government securities purchased with the Defeasance Deposit and an opinion of counsel to such effect.

 

For additional information on Mortgage Loans that permit partial defeasance, see “—Partial Releases” below.

 

In general, if consistent with the related loan documents, a successor borrower established, designated or approved by the master servicer will assume the obligations of the related borrower exercising a Defeasance Option and the borrower will be relieved of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is partially defeased, if consistent with the related loan documents, generally the related promissory note will be split and only the defeased portion of the borrower’s obligations will be transferred to the successor borrower.

 

Partial Releases

 

The Mortgage Loans described below permit the release of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties or a portion of a single Mortgaged Property in connection with a partial defeasance, a partial prepayment or a partial substitution, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, including the REMIC requirements. Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans permit the addition of real property to the Mortgage Loan collateral.

 

With respect to forty-one (41) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, after June 5, 2019, the borrowers may obtain the release of one or more individual Mortgaged Properties from the lien of the applicable security instruments by prepayment with yield maintenance (if applicable), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, (i) payment of a release price equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount with respect to such individual Mortgaged Property or individual Mortgaged Properties, (ii) after giving effect to the release, the debt yield (as calculated in the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan documents) of the Mortgaged Properties then remaining subject to the lien of the security instruments is equal to or greater than (a) the greater of (1) 10.0% and (2) the debt yield for all of the Mortgaged Properties immediately preceding such release, and (b) 14.0%, provided that the borrowers are permitted to prepay a portion of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan in an amount reasonably determined by the lender necessary to satisfy the debt yield requirement (together with the yield maintenance premium, if applicable), and (iii) satisfaction of REMIC requirements.

 

With respect to fourteen (14) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Treeview Industrial Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 8.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, following the expiration of the related Defeasance Lockout Period, the borrower may release one or more individual Mortgaged Properties with the defeasance of a portion of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, provided that, among other terms and conditions: (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the borrower defeases a portion of the Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to or exceeding 115% of the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property being released; (iii) the borrower delivers an opinion of counsel that such release would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b); (iv) with

 

 163

 

 

respect to the release of either the 1280 Corporate Lakes or the 1300 Corporate Lakes Mortgaged Properties (unless released together simultaneously), each Mortgaged Property remaining as collateral after the release will (a) comply with all material zoning ordinances, (b) be a separate tax parcel, (c) comply with all material subdivision ordinances and (d) have an appurtenant easement for utilities, parking and access currently crossing or located on the Mortgaged Property being released to the extent that the same are reasonably necessary to the ownership or operation of the Mortgaged Property remaining as collateral after the release; (v) after giving effect to the release, the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the Mortgage Loan documents) for the Mortgaged Properties then remaining subject to the lien of the security instruments based on the trailing 12 month period is equal to or greater than the greater of (a) 1.84x and (b) the debt service coverage ratio for all of the Mortgaged Properties then remaining subject to the liens of the security instruments (including the Mortgaged Property being released) immediately preceding such release; and (vi) after giving effect to the release, the loan-to-value ratio for the properties then remaining subject to the lien of the security instruments is at least equal to 64.5%.

 

With respect to sixty-four (64) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 7.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrowers may obtain the release of one or more individual Mortgaged Properties from the lien of the applicable security instruments by prepayment with yield maintenance (if applicable), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, (i) payment of an amount equal to or exceeding the Release Price (as defined below) with respect to such individual Mortgaged Property or individual Mortgaged Properties, (ii) after giving effect to the release, the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan documents) of the Mortgaged Properties then remaining subject to the lien of the security instruments is equal to or greater than the greater of (a) 2.65x and (b) the debt service coverage ratio for all of the Mortgaged Properties immediately preceding such release, provided that the borrowers are permitted to prepay a portion of the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan in an amount reasonably determined by the lender necessary to satisfy the debt service coverage ratio requirement (together with the yield maintenance premium, if applicable) or deposit cash with the lender in an amount determined by the lender necessary to, after giving effect to the release, satisfy the debt service coverage ratio requirement, and (iii) satisfaction of REMIC requirements. “Release Price” means the following amount: (1) if less than $57,727,000 of the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan has been prepaid in connection with prior releases, then 105% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties being released, (2) if less than $86,590,500 has been prepaid, then 110% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties being released, (3) if less than $115,454,000 has been prepaid, then 115% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties being released and (4) (A) after $115,454,000 has been prepaid or (B) if such individual Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties being released are to be conveyed to an affiliate of the borrowers or certain of its affiliates, then the “Release Price” means in each case 120% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties being released. If the release of any individual Mortgaged Property causes the aggregate prepaid loan amount to exceed any of the prepayment release dollar thresholds set forth above, then the “Release Price” under the Mortgage Loan documents is required to equal the sum of (x) the portion of the allocated loan amount for such Mortgaged Property which is less than the first-applicable prepayment release dollar threshold set forth above multiplied by the corresponding percentage and (y) the portion of the allocated loan amount for such Mortgaged Property which is greater than or equal to the first-applicable prepayment release dollar threshold applied in clause (x) multiplied by the applicable percentage shown above.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio—Holiday Inn Express & Suites Terrell” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, in the event Tanger Properties Limited Partnership exercises its repurchase right under a recorded declaration and agreement to purchase the applicable

Escrows

 

Thirty-four (34) of the Mortgage Loans representing approximately 82.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover capital expenditures and replacements.

 

 165

 

 

Thirty-three (33) of the Mortgage Loans representing approximately 74.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover property taxes on the Mortgaged Properties.

 

Thirty (30) of the Mortgage Loans representing approximately 56.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover insurance premiums on the Mortgaged Properties.

 

Twenty-two (22) of the Mortgage Loans representing approximately 52.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured by office, retail, industrial and mixed use properties and provide for upfront or monthly escrows (or credit) for the full term or a portion of the term of the related Mortgage Loan to cover anticipated re-leasing costs, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions or other lease termination or occupancy issues. Such escrows are typically considered for office, retail and industrial properties only.

 

Certain of the Mortgage Loans described above permit the related borrower to post a letter of credit in lieu of maintaining cash reserves. In addition, in certain cases, the related borrower may not be required to maintain the escrows described above until the occurrence of a specified trigger.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 9.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower is permitted to deliver a letter of credit meeting the requirements of the Mortgage Loan agreement in lieu of all or any portion of any cash deposits required for any reserve. The amount of any such letter of credit may not exceed 10% of the 245 Park Whole Loan, unless such excess amount is permitted pursuant to any updated non-consolidation opinion delivered to the lender. The borrower may not have any reimbursement obligations with respect to any such letter(s) of credit.

 

With respect to sixty-five (65) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 7.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, with respect to any new PIPs or other renovations required by any franchisor during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan documents require that (i) the guarantor enter into a guaranty for the payment and performance of such renovations, (ii) deposit cash in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated cost of such renovations into a reserve for such purposes or (iii) deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of 100% of the estimated cost of such renovations.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “211 Main Street” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, in lieu of a cash reserve, the guarantor delivered a guaranty of certain outstanding tenant improvement/leasing commission obligations at origination. The liability under the guaranty is capped at approximately $12,191,209.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Marriott Park City” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, on the Mortgage Loan origination date, the borrower deposited $500,000 into a seasonality reserve which was posted in the form of a letter of credit (“LOC”). The borrower will not be permitted to request any draws from the LOC and the borrower will self-fund any operating shortfalls. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the seasonality reserve will be terminated and the LOC released to the borrower, should the borrower deliver evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the lender that the Mortgaged Property has generated monthly cash flows sufficient such that the DSCR for every month for two consecutive calendar years, as calculated by the lender, is equal to or greater than 1.00x. Furthermore, the LOC can be reduced, no more than once every two years, based on the average of two consecutive calendar year financials evidencing such improvement. For example, if the shortfall at the end of the first calendar year is $300,000 and the shortfall at the end of the second calendar year is $200,000, the LOC may be reduced to $250,000.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Coral Springs Business Warehouse” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, on the Mortgage Loan origination date, the borrower deposited $100,000 into a TI/LC

 

 166

 

 

reserve which was posted in the form of a LOC. The borrower will not be permitted to request any draws from the LOC and the borrower will self-fund any operating shortfalls.

 

Many of the Mortgage Loans provide for other escrows and reserves, including, in certain cases, reserves for debt service, operating expenses, vacancies at the related Mortgaged Property and other shortfalls or reserves to be released under circumstances described in the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

See Annex A-1 and the related footnotes for more information regarding escrows under the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Mortgaged Property Accounts

 

Lockbox Accounts.

 

The Mortgage Loans documents prescribe the manner in which the related borrowers are permitted to collect rents from tenants at each Mortgaged Property. The following table sets forth the account mechanics prescribed for the Mortgage Loans:

 

Lockbox Account Types

 

Lockbox Type  Number of Mortgage
Loans
  Aggregate Principal Balance
of Mortgage Loans
  Approx. % of Initial
Pool Balance
Hard Lockbox  19    $568,004,029   70.0%
Springing Lockbox  15    153,098,923   18.9 
Soft Springing Lockbox  1    60,000,000   7.4 
Soft Lockbox  2    29,900,000   3.7 
Total:  37    $811,002,952   100.0%

 

Except as set forth in the table above and described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions—Definitions”, the borrower is entitled to receive a disbursement of all cash remaining in the lockbox or cash management account after required payment for debt service, agent fees, required reserves, and operating expenses, the agreements governing the lockbox and cash management accounts provide that the borrower has no withdrawal or transfer rights with respect to the related account. The lockbox and cash management accounts will not be assets of the issuing entity.

 

Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines

 

See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, “—Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC— BSP’s Underwriting Standards”, “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes” and “—Ladder Capital Finance LLC— Ladder’s Underwriting Standards”.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the Initial Pool Balance, the debt yield is lower than the underwritten debt yield of 7.5% provided for in SMF VI’s underwriting guidelines. SMF VI’s decision to include the Mortgage Loan notwithstanding the exception was supported by the compensating factors that the Mortgaged Property is in a location that has demonstrated consistently strong demand, the Mortgaged Property includes an investment grade retail tenant and a multifamily component, and the LTV Ratio as of the Cut-off Date is 52.3%. Based on these compensating factors, SMF VI approved inclusion of this Mortgage Loan in this transaction.

Additional Indebtedness

 

General

 

The Mortgage Loans generally prohibit borrowers from incurring any additional debt secured by their Mortgaged Property without the consent of the lender. However:

 

substantially all of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower to incur limited indebtedness in the ordinary course of business that is not secured by the related Mortgaged Property;

 

the borrowers under certain of the Mortgage Loans have incurred and/or may incur in the future unsecured debt other than in the ordinary course of business;

 

any borrower that is not required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents to meet single purpose entity criteria may not be restricted from incurring unsecured debt or mezzanine debt;

 

the terms of certain Mortgage Loans permit the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loans, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee;

 

although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of the limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower or less than a controlling interest of any other equity interests in a borrower; and

 

certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests.

 

Whole Loans

 

Certain Mortgage Loans are subject to the rights of the holder of a related Companion Loan, as further described in “—The Whole Loans” below.

 

Mezzanine Indebtedness

 

Although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgages generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of less than a controlling portion of the limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower. Certain Mortgage Loans described below permit the incurrence of mezzanine debt subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including a certain maximum combined loan-to-value ratio and/or a minimum combined debt service coverage ratio, and in some cases mezzanine debt is already in place. Also, certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests. In addition, in general, a borrower (or its direct or indirect owners) that does not meet single-purpose entity criteria may not be restricted in any way from incurring mezzanine debt.

(2)Calculated including any related mezzanine debt, any related Pari Passu Companion Loans and any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

(3)Calculated including any related Pari Passu Companion Loans but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

(4)The mezzanine debt is composed of three mezzanine loans co-originated by JPMCB, Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch and Barclays Bank PLC: (i) a mezzanine A loan with an original principal balance of $236,500,000; (ii) a mezzanine B loan with the original principal balance of $221,000,000; and (iii) a mezzanine C loan with an original principal balance of $110,500,000. The mezzanine A loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.00000% per annum, the mezzanine B loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.70000% per annum and the mezzanine C loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.85000% per annum.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, in connection with the settlement of certain pending litigation involving the sponsors and guarantors and a former partner, such former partner is the holder of a loan in the principal amount of approximately $464,160 as of the origination date, which is secured by a one-third equity interest in the borrower.

 

In each case, the mezzanine indebtedness is coterminous with the related Mortgage Loan. Except with respect to the indebtedness related to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “Main Street Court” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, each of the mezzanine loans related to the Mortgage Loans identified in the table above is subject to an intercreditor agreement between the holder of the related mezzanine loan and the related lender under the related Mortgage Loan that, in each case, sets forth the relative priorities between the related Mortgage Loan and the related mezzanine loan. Each intercreditor agreement provides, among other things, generally that (a) all payments due under the related mezzanine loan are subordinate after an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (taking into account the cure rights of the mezzanine lender) to any and all payments required to be made under the related Mortgage Loan (except for any payments from funds other than the mortgaged property or proceeds of any enforcement upon the mezzanine loan collateral and any mezzanine loan guarantees), (b) so long as there is no event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (taking into account the cure rights of the related mezzanine lender), the related mezzanine lender may accept payments on and prepayments of the related mezzanine loan; provided, however, that prepayment of the mezzanine loan is not permitted prior to the prepayment in full of the related Mortgage Loan, unless (i) no event of default under the related Mortgage Loan is then continuing (taking into account the cure rights of the related mezzanine lender) and (ii) either (A) such prepayment of the mezzanine loan is from a source of funds other than the mortgage borrower, the Mortgaged Property, the guarantor and/or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or (B) such prepayments are in strict accordance with, and expressly permitted by, the Mortgage Loan documents, (c) the related mezzanine lender will have certain rights to receive notice of and cure defaults under the related Mortgage Loan prior to any acceleration or enforcement of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) the related mezzanine lender may amend or modify the related mezzanine loan in certain respects without the consent of the related mortgage lender, and the mortgage lender must obtain the mezzanine lender’s consent to amend or modify the Mortgage Loan in certain respects, (e) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mezzanine loan documents, the related mezzanine lender may foreclose upon the membership interests in the related Mortgage Loan borrower, which could result in a change of control with respect to the related Mortgage Loan borrower and a change in the management of the related Mortgaged Properties, (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is accelerated or, in some cases, becomes specially serviced or if a monetary or material non-monetary default occurs and continues for a specified period of time under the related Mortgage Loan or if the Mortgage Loan borrower becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy or if the related Mortgage Loan lender exercises any enforcement action under the related Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan borrower or the related Mortgaged Properties, the related mezzanine lender has the right to

 

 169

 

 

purchase the related Mortgage Loan, in whole but not in part, for a price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, plus (without duplication) any advances made by the related Mortgage Loan lender or its servicer and any interest thereon plus, subject to certain limitations, any Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees payable under the PSA, but generally excluding any late charges, default interest, exit fees, special maintenance charges payable in connection with a prepayment or yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and (g) an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan will trigger an event of default under the mezzanine loan.

 

The Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations as described under “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions” above. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans listed in the following chart, the direct and indirect equity owners of the borrower are permitted to incur future mezzanine debt, subject to the satisfaction of conditions contained in the related loan documents, including, among other things, a combined maximum loan-to-value ratio, a combined minimum debt service coverage ratio and/or a combined minimum debt yield, as listed in the following chart and determined in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents:

Flowserve Pumps  $15,980,399  80.0%  1.20x  7.75%  Yes

 

 

(1)Future mezzanine debt is permitted only after the date that is the earlier of (i) May 24, 2018 and (ii) the date that the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan is securitized in full.

(2)Future mezzanine debt is permitted only on or after June 14, 2022.

 

The specific rights of the related mezzanine lender with respect to any such future mezzanine loan will be specified in the related intercreditor agreement. The intercreditor agreement required to be entered into in connection with any future mezzanine loan will be subject to receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation or to the related lender’s approval and may include certain cure and repurchase rights.

 

The direct and/or indirect owners of a borrower under a Mortgage Loan are also generally permitted to pledge their interest in such borrower as security for a mezzanine loan in circumstances where the ultimate transfer of such interest to the mezzanine lender would be a permitted transfer under the related Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, in certain cases, an affiliate of the borrower may be entitled to pledge indirect interests in the borrower as security for a loan.

 

Generally, upon a default under a mezzanine loan, subject to the terms of any applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement, the holder of the mezzanine loan would be entitled to foreclose upon the equity in the related borrower, which has been pledged to secure payment of such debt. Although this transfer of equity may not trigger the due on sale clause under the related Mortgage Loan, it could cause a change in control of the borrower and/or cause the obligor under the mezzanine loan to file for bankruptcy, which could negatively affect the operation of the related Mortgaged Property and the related borrower’s ability to make payments on the related Mortgage Loan in a timely manner.

Preferred Equity

 

Because preferred equity often provides for a higher rate of return to be paid to the holders of such preferred equity, preferred equity in some respects functions like mezzanine indebtedness, and reduces a principal’s economic stake in the related Mortgaged Property, reduces cash flow on the borrower’s Mortgaged Property after the payment of debt service and payments on the preferred equity and may increase the likelihood that the owner of a borrower will permit the value or income-producing potential of a Mortgaged Property to fall and may create a greater risk that a borrower will default on the Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property whose value or income is relatively weak.

 

With respect to six (6) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Texas Retail Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, Realty Mogul 83, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, made a $3,325,000 preferred equity investment in the borrowers in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The preferred equity holder holds less than a 1% indirect interest in the borrowers as of the origination of the mortgage loan. The term of the preferred equity investment is coterminous with the mortgage loan, and the preferred equity investment is fully subordinated to the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan together with the preferred equity investment is underwritten to an aggregate debt service coverage ratio equal to 1.17x, an aggregate debt yield equal to 9.4% and a combined loan-to-value equal to 76.7%, based on a preferred equity preferred annual rate of return equal to 14.0% absent a changeover event, which includes among others, the failure to pay preferred return or redeem the investment on the redemption date, breach of a material obligation under the partnership agreement, fraud, gross negligence or bankruptcy events (and 19% after a changeover event). If the preferred equity holder does not receive its monthly preferred return, it has the right to designate a replacement general partner and terminate any agreements with affiliates of the general partner; however, the Mortgage Loan documents do not permit a transfer of control from the borrower sponsor to the preferred equity holder at any time, notwithstanding the terms of the applicable limited partnership agreements of the sole members, and the lender’s consent to this change in control is required under the Mortgage Loan documents, which prohibition has been agreed to by the borrower sponsor and preferred equity holder.

 

With respect to five (5) Mortgaged Properties identified as “Carolina Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, NCSC Hospitality Portfolio LLC, the sole member of the related borrowers, has issued $8,230,000 of preferred equity to affiliates of Keystone National Group, LLC with a preferred return of 12.5%. The preferred equity interest is redeemable by NCSC Hospitality Portfolio LLC after January 1, 2022 with the consent of the lender, and, if not voluntarily redeemed prior to July 7, 2024 (which date is after maturity of the Mortgage Loan) the preferred equity interest is mandatorily redeemable at the election of the preferred equity holder via exercise of a put option.

 

Other Indebtedness

 

Certain Mortgage Loans permit the borrower to incur certain other indebtedness, as described below:

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “245 Park Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing 9.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to incur liabilities in the ordinary course of business in an amount not to exceed two percent of the 245 Park Whole Loan and the related mezzanine loans. The Mortgage Loan agreement also requires such liabilities to be normal and reasonable under the circumstances and to be paid within 60 days of the date incurred and that such liabilities may not be evidenced by a promissory note.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower may enter into a property assessed clean energy (PACE) loan that is repaid through multi-year assessments against the related Mortgaged Property in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000, subject to the mortgage lender’s approval (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(1)The Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan is being serviced under the DBJPM 2017-C6 PSA.

 

(2)The related companion loan notes have been sold to Athene Annuity and Life Company and American Equity Life Insurance Company, which are managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC or an affiliate (“Apollo”).

The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

 

The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans (the “Serviced Whole Loans”) will be serviced pursuant to the PSA in accordance with the terms of the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be required to make a monthly payment advance on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, but the applicable master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to (and the applicable special servicer, at its option in emergency situations, may) make Servicing Advances on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans unless such advancing party (or, even if it is not the advancing party, the applicable special servicer) determines that such a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

The Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan) prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, after which such Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Non-Serviced Whole Loan). With respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the discussion under this section only applies to the period prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

 

Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

 

The promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

 

All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves, certain repairs or restorations or payments to the applicable borrower required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the PSA, in accordance with the terms of the PSA).

 

The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than, without the consent of the non-transferring noteholder, a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Serviced Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency

 

 178

 

 

communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, certain costs and expenses (such as a pro rata share of a Servicing Advance) allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan may be paid or reimbursed out of payments and other collections on the Mortgage Pool, subject to the Trust’s right to reimbursement from future payments and other collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or from general collections with respect to any securitization of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

Control Rights with respect to Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans Other Than Servicing Shift Whole Loans.

 

With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan), the related Control Note will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder will have certain consent rights (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and consultation rights (after the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) with respect to such Mortgage Loan as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

With respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the related Control Note will be held as of the Closing Date by the holder (the “Controlling Holder”) listed in the table entitled “Whole Loan Control Notes and Non-Control Notes” above under “—General”. The related Controlling Holder will be entitled (i) to direct the servicing of such Whole Loan, (ii) to consent to certain servicing decisions in respect of such Whole Loan and actions set forth in a related asset status report and (iii) to replace the special servicer with respect to such Whole Loan with or without cause; provided, that with respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan, if such holder or its representative is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the related Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, no party will be entitled to exercise the rights of such “Controlling Holder”, and there will be deemed to be no such “Controlling Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder.

 

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the holder of any related Non-Control Note (a “Non-Controlling Holder”) (or if such Non-Control Note has been securitized, the directing certificateholder with respect to such securitization or other designated party under the related pooling and servicing agreement) will be entitled to certain consent and consultation rights described below; provided, that if such party or its representative is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the subject Non-Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the right of a Non-Controlling Holder, and/or there will be deemed to be no such Non-Controlling Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Non-Control Note. With respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan, one or more related Non-Control Notes will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the applicable special servicer (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, will be entitled to exercise the consent or consultation rights described below.

 

The applicable special servicer will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a Major Decision with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent such party requests consultation after

 

 179

 

 

having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions by the applicable special servicer or any proposed action to be taken by such special servicer in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan that constitutes a Major Decision.

 

Such consultation right will expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto) (unless the applicable special servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the applicable special servicer be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative).

 

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the applicable master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the applicable master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan are discussed.

 

If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred with respect to the applicable special servicer that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the trustee to terminate the applicable special servicer under the PSA solely with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan.

 

Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

 

If any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the applicable special servicer decides to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, such special servicer will be required to sell such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together as interests evidencing one whole loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such special servicer will not be permitted to sell a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan without the consent of each Non-Controlling Holder unless it has delivered to such holder (a) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by such special servicer, a copy of the most recent appraisal and certain other supplementary documents (if requested by such holder), and (c) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and documents being provided to offerors or otherwise approved by the applicable master servicer or special servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

 

The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

 

Each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with the terms of such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. No Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee will be required to make monthly payment advances on a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, will be required to (and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, at its option in certain cases, may) make servicing advances on the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA unless such advancing party (or, in certain cases, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, even if it is not the advancing party) determines that such a servicing advance would be a nonrecoverable advance. Monthly payment advances on each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be made by the applicable master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, to the extent provided under the PSA. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make servicing advances with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

 

The promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

 

All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA).

 

The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Non-Serviced Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than, without the consent of the non-transferring noteholder, a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan together with the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

Any losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses incurred in connection with a Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are not otherwise paid out of collections on such Whole Loan may, to the extent allocable to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, be payable or reimbursable out of general collections on the mortgage pool for this securitization.

The related Controlling Holder (or a designated representative) will be entitled (i) to direct the servicing of such Whole Loan, (ii) to consent to certain servicing decisions in respect of such Whole Loan and actions set forth in a related asset status report and (iii) to replace the special servicer with respect to such Whole Loan with or without cause; provided, that with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if such holder (or its designated representative) is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the subject Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the rights of the “Controlling Holder”, and/or there will be deemed to be no such “Controlling Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder.

or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the rights of a Non-Controlling Holder, and/or there will be deemed to be no “Non-Controlling Holder” with respect to such Non-Control Note under the related Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan (including the Servicing Shift Whole Loan after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date), one or more related Non-Control Notes will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the applicable special servicer (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, will be entitled to exercise the consent or consultation rights described above.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a major decision under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence and continuance of a “control termination event” or a “consultation termination event” (or analogous concepts) under such Non-Serviced PSA) and (ii) to consult (or to use reasonable efforts to consult) each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent such party requests consultation after having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer or any proposed action to be taken by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the applicable major decision.

 

Such consultation right will expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto), whether or not such Non-Controlling Holder has responded within such period (unless the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative).

 

If the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the promissory notes comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, it may take, in accordance with the servicing standard under the Non-Serviced PSA, any action constituting a major decision with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any action set forth in any applicable asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) business day period.

 

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan are discussed.

 

If a special servicer termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under such Non-Serviced PSA solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, other than with respect to any rights such Non-Serviced Special Servicer may have as a certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA, entitlements to amounts payable to such Non-Serviced Special Servicer at the time of termination, entitlements to indemnification amounts and any other entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination.

The Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan

 

General.

 

One (1) Mortgage Loan, identified as “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio” (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan”) on Annex A-1, representing approximately 8.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, is part of a Whole Loan structure comprised of seventeen (17) mortgage notes, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property.

 

The Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan is evidenced by one (1) senior promissory note A-1-2 with a Cut-off Date Balance of $70,000,000. The “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan” consists of (i) the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan (ii) six (6) pari passu companion loans (evidenced by promissory notes A-1-1, A-1-3, A-1-4, A-2-1, A-2-2 and A-2-3) (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans”) that are pari passu with the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan and (ii) ten (10) subordinate companion loans (evidenced by promissory notes B-1-1, B-1-2, B-1-3, B-1-4, B-1-5, B-2-1, B-2-2, B-2-3, B-2-4 and B-2-5) (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans” and together with the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans, the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Companion Loans”) that are subordinate to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans. None of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Companion Loans is included in the issuing entity.

 

The rights of the holders of the promissory notes evidencing the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Noteholders”) are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement”). The following summaries describe certain provisions of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Control Appraisal Period with respect to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan, the holder of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan evidenced by promissory note B-1-1 (the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Controlling Subordinate Companion Loans”) will have the right to cure certain defaults by the borrower, and the right to approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan, each as more fully described below. A “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Control Appraisal Period” will exist with respect to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan, if and for so long as (a)(1) the initial aggregate principal balance of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan minus (2) the sum (without duplication) of (x) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan, (y) any appraisal reductions for the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan that are allocated to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan and (z) any losses realized with respect to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgaged Properties or the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan that are allocated to the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan, is less than (b) 25% of the remainder of the (i) initial aggregate principal balance of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan less (ii) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received by, the holders of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan. Each holder of a Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan also has the right to purchase the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Mortgage Loan in whole but not in part in certain instances as set forth below.

 

The holder of the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan is entitled to avoid its applicable Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an appraisal reduction amount upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including without limitation, (i) delivery of additional collateral in the form of either (x) cash or (y) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institutions that meets the rating requirements as described in the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement (either (x) or (y), the “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Threshold Event Collateral”) and (ii) the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Threshold Event Collateral is in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Properties as determined pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, would cause the applicable Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Control Appraisal Period not to occur.

The 211 Main Street Whole Loan

 

General

 

One (1) Mortgage Loan, identified as “211 Main Street” (the “211 Main Street Mortgage Loan”) on Annex A-1, representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, is part of a Whole Loan structure comprised of six (6) mortgage notes, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property.

 

The 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan is evidenced by one (1) senior promissory note A-1 with a Cut-off Date Balance of $45,000,000. The related Pari Passu Companion Loans (the “211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans”) are pari passu with the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan, are evidenced by two (2) promissory notes (promissory notes A-2 and A-3), have an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $125,219,000, and are not included in the issuing entity. The related Subordinate Companion Loans (the “211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans” and, together with the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans, the “211 Main Street Companion Loans”) are subordinate to the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans, are evidenced by three (3) promissory notes (promissory notes B-1, B-2 and B-3), have an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $25,000,000, and are not included in the issuing entity. The 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loan evidenced by promissory note B-1 is referred to in this prospectus as the “211 Main Street Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan”. The 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan, the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans and the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “211 Main Street Whole Loan”.

 

The rights of the holders of the promissory notes evidencing the 211 Main Street Whole Loan (the “211 Main Street Noteholders”) are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement”). The following summaries describe certain provisions of the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period, the holders of the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans will have the right to cure certain defaults by the borrower, and the holder of the 211 Main Street Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan will have the right to approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the 211 Main Street Whole Loan, each as more fully described below. The holders of the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans also have the right to purchase the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan in whole but not in part in certain instances as set forth below.

 

 197

 

 

A “211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period” will exist with respect to the 211 Main Street Whole Loan, if and for so long as (a)(1) the initial aggregate principal balance of the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans minus (2) the sum (without duplication) of (x) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans, (y) any appraisal reduction amounts for the 211 Main Street Whole Loan that are allocated to the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans and (z) any realized losses with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or the 211 Main Street Whole Loan that are allocated to the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans, is less than (b) 25% of the remainder of the (i) initial aggregate principal balance of the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans less (ii) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received by, the holders of the 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans.

 

The holder of the 211 Main Street Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan is entitled to avoid a 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including delivery to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and/or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, (within 30 days of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s and/or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s, as applicable, receipt of a third party appraisal that indicates such 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period has occurred) of additional collateral in the form of either (x) cash or (y) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institution(s) that meets the rating requirements as described in the 211 Main Street Intercreditor, in each case, in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, would cause the applicable 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period not to occur.

Pursuant to the terms of the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the related mortgage (whether or not a servicing transfer event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a 211 Main Street Major Decision has been requested or proposed, at least 10 business days prior to taking action with respect to such 211 Main Street Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to such 211 Main Street Major Decision), the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, must receive the written consent of the 211 Main Street Directing Holder (or its representative) before implementing a decision with respect to such 211 Main Street Major Decision, provided that if the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, does not receive a response within five business days of its delivery of notice of a 211 Main Street Major Decision, it is required to deliver a second notice to the 211 Main Street Directing Holder, and if the 211 Main Street Directing Holder does not respond within five business days of receipt of such second notice, it will have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the applicable servicing standard, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the 211 Main Street Directing Holder (or its representative) if the applicable servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the 211 Main Street Noteholders, and the applicable servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the holder of the 211 Main Street Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan (or its representative).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, may not follow any advice or consultation provided by the 211 Main Street Directing Holder (or its representative) that would require or cause the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, including the

 

 203

 

 

REMIC provisions, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Serviced PSA, require or cause the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the 211 Main Street Whole Loan, or materially expand the scope of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement, each 211 Main Street Note holder other than the 211 Main Street Directing Holder (the “211 Main Street Non-Directing Holders”) will have the right (i) to receive copies of all notices, information and reports that the special servicer is required to provide to the 211 Main Street Directing Holder pursuant to the DBJPM 2017-C6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any 211 Main Street Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the 211 Main Street Directing Holder (without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the 211 Main Street Directing Holder due to the occurrence of a control termination event or a consultation termination event) and (ii) to be consulted on a strictly non-binding basis by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to any 211 Main Street Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report; provided that an such consultation right will expire 10 business days after the delivery by the applicable special servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notices, information and reports whether or not such holder has responded within such 10 business day period (unless the applicable special servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case, the 10 business-day consultation period will be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights described above, the applicable special servicer will be permitted to make any 211 Main Street Major Decision or take any action set forth in an Asset Status Report in respect of the 211 Main Street Whole Loan before the expiration of the aforementioned 10 business-day period if it determines that immediate action with respect to such decision is necessary to protect the interests of 211 Main Street Noteholders.

 

In addition to the consultation rights of the holders of the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans described above, during the continuance of a 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period, each such holder will have the right to attend annual meetings (either telephonically or in person, in the discretion of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable) with the applicable master servicer or special servicer at the offices of the applicable master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the applicable master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the 211 Main Street Whole Loan are discussed.

 206

 

 

Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans, in whole but not in part, at the 211 Main Street Defaulted Whole Loan Purchase Price.

 

The “211 Main Street Defaulted Whole Loan Purchase Price” is the sum, without duplication, of (a) the aggregate principal balance of the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans, (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans at their respective net interest rates from the date as to which interest was last paid in full by the related borrower up to and including the end of the interest accrual period relating to the payment date next following the date of the purchase, (c) any other amounts due under the 211 Main Street Whole Loan to the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan and the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans, other than prepayment premiums, spread maintenance premiums, yield maintenance premiums, default interest, late fees, exit fees and any other similar fees (unless the borrower or a borrower related party (as defined in the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement) is the purchaser, in which case, any such amounts will be included in this calculation), (d) any unreimbursed servicing advances and any expenses incurred in enforcing the related Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, property protection or servicing advances payable or reimbursable to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer and earned and unpaid special servicing fees, (e) any accrued and unpaid interest on advances made on the 211 Main Street Whole Loan, (f) (i) if the related borrower or a borrower related party (as defined in the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement) is the purchaser or (ii) if the 211 Main Street Whole Loan is purchased after 90 days after the above-described purchase option first becomes exercisable, any liquidation Fees or workout Fees, and (g) any “recovered costs” (as defined in the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement) not reimbursed previously to the issuing entity, as the holder of the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan, and the holders of the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans pursuant to the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement; provided that if a holder of a 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loan is purchasing from the related borrower or a borrower related party (as defined in the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement), the 211 Main Street Defaulted Whole Loan Purchase Price will not include the amounts described under clauses (d) through (f) above.

 

Sale of Defaulted Whole Loan

 

Pursuant to the terms of the 211 Main Street Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA, if the 211 Main Street Whole Loan becomes a defaulted loan, and if the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer determines to sell the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA, then the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to sell the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans (and, subject to the consent of the 211 Main Street Directing Holder, may sell any 211 Main Street Subordinate Companion Loans) together with the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan as one whole loan if the special servicer determines that a sale of the 211 Main Street Mortgage Loan would maximize recoveries on the related Whole Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the 211 Main Street Whole Loan if such Whole Loan becomes a defaulted whole loan without the written consent of the Directing Certificateholder and the holder of the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loan evidenced by promissory note A-1 and, prior to a 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period, promissory note A-2 (such holders, the “211 Main Street Non-Controlling Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders”) (provided that such consent is not required from any such holder if it is the related borrower or an affiliate of the related borrower) unless the special servicer has delivered to such holders: (a) at least 15 business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Whole 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 211 Main Street Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by such holder that are material to the price of the 211 Main Street Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to the other offerors and the 211 Main Street Directing Holder’s representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale;

 

 207

 

 

provided that each such holder may waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements described in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, each of the issuing entity (or its representative), the holder of the 211 Main Street Controlling Subordinate Companion Loan or its representative (prior to the occurrence of a 211 Main Street Control Appraisal Period) and the holders of the 211 Main Street Pari Passu Companion Loans (or their representatives) will be permitted to bid at any sale of the 211 Main Street Whole Loan unless it is the related borrower or an affiliate or agent of the related borrower.

The West Town Mall Whole Loan

One (1) Mortgage Loan, identified as “West Town Mall” (the “West Town Mall Mortgage Loan”) on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, is part of a Whole Loan structure comprised of six (6) mortgage notes, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property.

 

The West Town Mall Mortgage Loan is evidenced by one (1) senior promissory note A-2-A with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30,000,000. The “West Town Mall Whole Loan” consists of (i) the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan (ii) three (3) pari passu companion loans (evidenced by promissory notes A-1-A, A-1-B and A-2-B) (the “West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans”) that are pari passu with the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan and (ii) two (2) subordinate companion loans (evidenced by promissory notes B-1 and B-2) (the “West Town Mall Subordinate Companion Loans” and together with the West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans, the “West Town Mall Companion Loans”) that are subordinate to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan and the West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans. None of the West Town Mall Companion Loans is included in the issuing entity. The West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans evidenced by promissory notes A-1-A, and A-1-B (with an aggregate Cut-off Date balance of $63,900,000) and the West Town Mall Subordinate Companion Loans (the “West Town Mall Lead Securitization Companion Loans”) were included in the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX transaction.

 

The rights of the holders of the promissory notes evidencing the West Town Mall Whole Loan (the “West Town Mall Noteholders”) are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “West Town Mall Intercreditor Agreement”).

None of the documents that JPMorgan Chase & Co. files with the SEC or any of the information on, or accessible through, the SEC’s website, is part of, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.

 

JPMCB Securitization Program.

 

The following is a description of JPMCB’s commercial mortgage-backed securitization program.

 

JPMCB underwrites and originates mortgage loans secured by commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties for its securitization program. As sponsor, JPMCB sells the loans it originates or acquires through commercial mortgage-backed securitizations. JPMCB, with its commercial mortgage lending affiliates and predecessors, began originating commercial mortgage loans for securitization in 1994 and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in 1995. As of December 31, 2016, the total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by JPMCB and its predecessors is in excess of $124.1 billion. Of that amount, approximately $105.0 billion has been securitized by the depositor. In its fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, JPMCB originated approximately $15.4 billion of commercial mortgage loans, of which approximately $9.1 billion were securitized by the depositor.

 

On May 30, 2008, JPMorgan Chase & Co., the parent of JPMCB, merged with The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. As a result of such merger, Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc. (“BSCMI”) became a subsidiary of JPMCB. Subsequent to such merger, BSCMI changed its name to J.P. Morgan Commercial Mortgage Inc. Prior to the merger, BSCMI was a sponsor of its own commercial mortgage-backed securitization program. BSCMI, with its commercial mortgage lending affiliates and predecessors, began originating commercial mortgage loans in 1995 and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in 1996. As of November 30, 2007, the total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated by BSCMI was in excess of $60 billion, of which approximately $39 billion has been securitized. Of that amount, approximately $22 billion has been securitized by an affiliate of BSCMI acting as depositor. BSCMI’s annual commercial mortgage loan originations grew from approximately $65 million in 1995 to approximately $1.0 billion in 2000 and to approximately $21.0 billion in 2007. After the merger, only JPMCB continued to be a sponsor of commercial mortgage-backed securitizations.

 

 213

 

 

The commercial mortgage loans originated, co-originated or acquired by JPMCB include both fixed-rate and floating-rate loans and both smaller “conduit” loans and large loans. JPMCB primarily originates loans secured by retail, office, multifamily, hospitality, industrial and self-storage properties, but also originates loans secured by manufactured housing communities, theaters, land subject to a ground lease and mixed use properties. JPMCB originates loans in every state.

 

As a sponsor, JPMCB originates, co-originates or acquires mortgage loans and, either by itself or together with other sponsors or loan sellers, initiates their securitization by transferring the mortgage loans to a depositor, which in turn transfers them to the issuing entity for the related securitization. In coordination with its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and other underwriters, JPMCB works with rating agencies, loan sellers, subordinated debt purchasers and master servicers in structuring the securitization transaction. JPMCB acts as sponsor, originator or loan seller both in transactions in which it is the sole sponsor and mortgage loan seller as well as in transactions in which other entities act as sponsor and/or mortgage loan seller. Some of these loan sellers may be affiliated with underwriters on the transactions.

 

Neither JPMCB nor any of its affiliates acts as master servicer of the commercial mortgage loans in its securitizations. Instead, JPMCB sells the right to be appointed master servicer of its securitized loans to rating-agency approved master servicers.

 

For a description of certain affiliations, relationships and related transactions between the sponsor and the other transaction parties, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests” and “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

 

Review of JPMCB Mortgage Loans.

 

Overview. JPMCB, in its capacity as the sponsor of the mortgage loans originated or acquired by it (the “JPMCB Mortgage Loans”), has conducted a review of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of JPMCB, or one or more of JPMCB’s affiliates, or, in certain circumstances, are consultants engaged by JPMCB (the “JPMCB Deal Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures only were relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the JPMCB Deal Team updated its internal origination database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each JPMCB Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, third party appraisals (as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments and seismic reports, if applicable and obtained), zoning reports, if applicable, evidence of insurance coverage or summaries of the same prepared by an outside insurance consultant, borrower supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by JPMCB during the underwriting process. After origination or acquisition of each JPMCB Mortgage Loan, the JPMCB Deal Team updated the information in the database with respect to such JPMCB Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the JPMCB Deal Team.

 

A data tape (the “JPMCB Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each JPMCB Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The JPMCB Data Tape was used by the JPMCB Deal Team to provide the numerical information regarding the JPMCB Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. JPMCB engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by JPMCB relating to information in this prospectus regarding the JPMCB Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

 214

 

 

comparing the information in the JPMCB Data Tape against various source documents provided by JPMCB that are described above under “—Database”;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the JPMCB Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the JPMCB Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the JPMCB Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. JPMCB engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans to assist in the preparation of the disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of a securitization of each JPMCB Mortgage Loan, origination counsel prepared a loan and property summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from material provisions of JPMCB’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each JPMCB Mortgage Loan reviewed JPMCB’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-2.

 

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of sections of the loan agreement relating to certain JPMCB Mortgage Loans marked against the standard form document, (ii) a review of the loan and property summaries referred to above relating to the JPMCB Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) a review of due diligence questionnaires completed by the JPMCB Deal Team and origination counsel. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions, if any, and condemnation provisions for each JPMCB Mortgage Loan for compliance with the REMIC provisions.

 

Origination counsel and securitization counsel also assisted in the preparation of the risk factors and mortgage loan summaries set forth in Annex A-1, based on their respective reviews of pertinent sections of the related mortgage loan documents.

 

Other Review Procedures. On a case-by-case basis as deemed necessary by JPMCB, with respect to any pending litigation that existed at the origination of any JPMCB Mortgage Loan that is material and not covered by insurance, JPMCB requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. JPMCB confirmed with the related servicer that there has not been recent material casualty to any improvements located on real property that serves as collateral for JPMCB Mortgage Loans. In addition, if JPMCB became aware of a significant natural disaster in the immediate vicinity of any Mortgaged Property securing a JPMCB Mortgage Loan, JPMCB obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

The JPMCB Deal Team also consulted with JPMCB personnel responsible for the origination of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans to confirm that the JPMCB Mortgage Loans were originated or acquired in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described below under “—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, JPMCB determined that the disclosure regarding the JPMCB Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. JPMCB also determined that the JPMCB Mortgage Loans were originated or acquired in accordance with JPMCB’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”. JPMCB attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. JPMCB will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a mortgage loan in the pool in connection with material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. JPMCB, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and

 

 215

 

 

the pooling and servicing agreement (the “JPMCB’s Qualification Criteria”). JPMCB will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the JPMCB’s Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by JPMCB and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by JPMCB to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

 

JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes.

 

General. JPMCB has developed guidelines establishing certain procedures with respect to underwriting the mortgage loans originated or purchased by it. All of the mortgage loans sold to the issuing entity by JPMCB were generally underwritten in accordance with the guidelines below. In some instances, one or more provisions of the guidelines were waived or modified by JPMCB at origination where it was determined not to adversely affect the related mortgage loan originated by it in any material respect. The mortgage loans to be included in the issuing entity were originated or acquired by JPMCB generally in accordance with the commercial mortgage-backed securitization program of JPMCB. For a description of any material exceptions to the underwriting guidelines in this prospectus, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

 

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the differences between individual commercial Mortgaged Properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current and alternative uses, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. However, except as described in the exceptions to the underwriting guidelines (see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”), the underwriting of the JPMCB Mortgage Loans will conform to the general guidelines described below.

 

Property Analysis. JPMCB performs or causes to be performed a site inspection to evaluate the location and quality of the related Mortgaged Properties. Such inspection generally includes an evaluation of functionality, design, attractiveness, visibility and accessibility, as well as location to major thoroughfares, transportation centers, employment sources, retail areas and educational or recreational facilities. JPMCB assesses the submarket in which the property is located to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends. In addition, JPMCB evaluates the property’s age, physical condition, operating history, lease and tenant mix, and management.

 

Cash Flow Analysis. JPMCB reviews, among other things, historical operating statements, rent rolls, tenant leases and/or budgeted income and expense statements provided by the borrower and makes adjustments in order to determine a debt service coverage ratio, including taking into account the benefits of any governmental assistance programs. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Information”.

 

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans originated by JPMCB require preliminary and final approval by a loan credit committee which includes senior executives of JPMCB. Prior to delivering a term sheet to a prospective loan sponsor, the JPMCB origination team will submit a preliminary underwriting package to the preliminary CMBS underwriting committee. For loans under $30.0 million, approval by two committee members is required prior to sending a term sheet to the loan sponsor. For loans over $30.0 million unanimous committee approval is required prior to sending the term sheet to the loan sponsor. Prior to funding the loan, after all due diligence has been completed, a loan will then be reviewed by the CMBS underwriting committee and approval by the committee must be unanimous. The CMBS underwriting committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence prior to approval, approve it subject to modifications of the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and LTV Ratio. The underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and the loan-to-value ratio in connection with the origination of each loan.

 

The debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the ratio of the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by JPMCB and payments on the loan based on actual principal and/or interest due on the loan. However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly

 

 216

 

 

subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy may be utilized. We cannot assure you that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. For specific discussions on the particular assumptions and adjustments, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Information” and Annex A-1. The loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal. In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans, there may exist mezzanine debt. Such mortgage loans will have a lower combined debt service coverage ratio and/or a higher combined loan-to-value ratio when such subordinate or mezzanine debt is taken into account. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for interest only payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.

 

Appraisal and LTV Ratio. For each Mortgaged Property, JPMCB obtains a current (within 6 months of the origination date of the mortgage loan) full narrative appraisal conforming at least to the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”). The appraisal is based on the current use of the Mortgaged Property and must include an estimate of the then-current market value of the property “as-is” in its then-current condition although in certain cases, appraisals may reflect both “as-complete”, “hypothetical as-is market value”, “as-is – PIP complete” or “hypothetical as-stabilized” and “as-is” values. The “as-complete”, “hypothetical as-is market value”, “as-is – PIP complete” or “hypothetical as-stabilized” value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancies. JPMCB then determines the loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage loan at the date of origination or, if applicable, in connection with its acquisition, in each case based on the value or values set forth in the appraisal and relevant loan structure.

 

Evaluation of Borrower. JPMCB evaluates the borrower and its principals with respect to credit history and prior experience as an owner and operator of commercial real estate properties. The evaluation will generally include obtaining and reviewing a credit report or other reliable indication of the borrower’s financial capacity; obtaining and verifying credit references and/or business and trade references; and obtaining and reviewing certifications provided by the borrower as to prior real estate experience and current contingent liabilities. Finally, although the mortgage loans generally are non-recourse in nature, in the case of certain mortgage loans, the borrower and certain principals of the borrower may be required to assume legal responsibility for liabilities as a result of, among other things, fraud, misrepresentation, misappropriation or conversion of funds and breach of environmental or hazardous materials requirements. JPMCB evaluates the financial capacity of the borrower and such principals to meet any obligations that may arise with respect to such liabilities.

 

Environmental Site Assessment. Prior to origination, JPMCB either (i) obtains or updates an environmental site assessment (“ESA”) for a Mortgaged Property prepared by a qualified environmental firm or (ii) obtains an environmental insurance policy for a Mortgaged Property. If an ESA is obtained or updated, JPMCB reviews the ESA to verify the absence of reported violations of applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and hazardous materials or other material adverse environmental condition or circumstance. In cases in which the ESA identifies conditions that would require cleanup, remedial action or any other response estimated to cost in excess of 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, JPMCB either (i) determines that another party with sufficient assets is responsible for taking remedial actions directed by an applicable regulatory authority or (ii) requires the borrower to do one of the following: (A) carry out satisfactory remediation activities or other responses prior to the origination of the mortgage loan, (B) establish an operations and maintenance plan, (C) place sufficient funds in escrow or establish a letter of credit at the time of origination of the mortgage loan to complete such remediation within a specified period of time, (D) obtain an environmental insurance policy for the Mortgaged Property, (E) provide or obtain an indemnity agreement or a guaranty with respect to such condition or circumstance, or (F) receive appropriate assurances that significant remediation activities or other significant responses are not necessary or required.

 

 217

 

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may also have environmental insurance policies. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

 

Physical Assessment Report. Prior to origination, JPMCB obtains a physical assessment report (“PAR”) for each Mortgaged Property prepared by a qualified structural engineering firm. JPMCB reviews the PAR to verify that the property is reported to be in satisfactory physical condition, and to determine the anticipated costs of necessary repair, replacement and major maintenance or capital expenditure needs over the term of the mortgage loan. In cases in which the PAR identifies material repairs or replacements needed immediately, JPMCB generally requires the borrower to carry out such repairs or replacements prior to the origination of the mortgage loan, or, in many cases, requires the borrower to place sufficient funds in escrow at the time of origination of the mortgage loan to complete such repairs or replacements within not more than twelve months. In certain instances, JPMCB may waive such escrows but require the related borrower to complete such repairs within a stated period of time in the related mortgage loan documents.

 

Title Insurance Policy. The borrower is required to provide, and JPMCB reviews, a title insurance policy for each Mortgaged Property. The title insurance policy must meet the following requirements: (a) the policy must be written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located; (b) the policy must be in an amount equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan; (c) the protection and benefits must run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns; (d) the policy should be written on a standard policy form of the American Land Title Association or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located; and (e) the legal description of the Mortgaged Property in the title policy must conform to that shown on the survey of the Mortgaged Property, where a survey has been required.

 

Property Insurance. The borrower is required to provide, and JPMCB reviews, certificates of required insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Such insurance may include: (1) commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury or death and property damage; (2) a fire and extended perils insurance policy providing “special” form coverage including coverage against loss or damage by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion; (3) if applicable, boiler and machinery coverage; (4) if the Mortgaged Property is located in a flood hazard area, flood insurance; and (5) such other coverage as JPMCB may require based on the specific characteristics of the Mortgaged Property.

 

Seismic Report. A seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, the originator will examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: a zoning report, legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

Escrow Requirements. JPMCB generally requires borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves, which reserves in many instances will be limited to certain capped amounts, however, it may waive certain of those requirements on a case by case basis based on the Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances described below. In addition, JPMCB may identify certain risks that warrant additional escrows or holdbacks for items such as leasing-related matters, deferred maintenance, environmental remediation or unfunded obligations, which escrows or holdbacks would be released upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions. Springing escrows may also be structured for identified risks such as specific rollover exposure, to be triggered upon the non-renewal of one or more key tenants. Escrows are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are not required for all commercial mortgage loans originated by JPMCB. The typical required escrows for mortgage loans originated by JPMCB are as follows:

 

 218

 

 

Taxes – An initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to approximately 1/12th of the estimated annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide JPMCB with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to single tenant) and the tenant pays taxes directly (or JPMCB may waive the escrow for a portion of the Mortgaged Property which is leased to a tenant that pays taxes for its portion of the Mortgaged Property directly); or (ii) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

Insurance – An initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to approximately 1/12th of the estimated annual property insurance premium are required to provide JPMCB with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy; (ii) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to single tenant) and the tenant maintains the property insurance or self-insures (or may waive the escrow for a portion of the Mortgaged Property which is leased to a tenant that maintains property insurance for its portion of the Mortgaged Property or self-insures); or (iii) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

Replacement Reserves – Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to single tenant) and the tenant repairs and maintains the Mortgaged Property (or may waive the escrow for a portion of the Mortgaged Property which is leased to a tenant that repairs and maintains its portion of the Mortgaged Property); or (ii) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions – A tenant improvement/leasing commission reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term and/or springing upon certain tenant events to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions, free rent periods or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to single tenant), with a lease that extends beyond the loan term; or (ii) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

Deferred Maintenance – A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs; (ii) the deferred maintenance items do not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property; (iii) the deferred maintenance cost does not exceed $50,000; (iv) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to single tenant), and the tenant is responsible for the repairs; or (v) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

Environmental Remediation – An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report. JPMCB may waive this escrow requirement in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to complete the remediation; (ii) environmental insurance is in place or obtained; or (iii) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

 

 219

 

 

JPMCB may determine that establishing any of the foregoing escrows or reserves is not warranted in one or more of the following instances (collectively, the “Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances”): (i) the amounts involved are de minimis, (ii) JPMCB’s evaluation of the ability of the Mortgaged Property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve, (iii) based on the Mortgaged Property maintaining a specified debt service coverage ratio, (iv) JPMCB has structured springing escrows that arise for identified risks, (v) JPMCB has an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower; (vi) JPMCB believes there are credit positive characteristics of the borrower, the sponsor of the borrower and/or the Mortgaged Property that would offset the need for the escrow or reserve; or (vii) the reserves are being collected and held by a third party, such as a management company, a franchisor, or an association.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion under this caption “—JPMCB’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, one or more of the mortgage loans contributed to this securitization by JPMCB may vary from, or may not comply with, JPMCB’s underwriting guidelines described above. In addition, in the case of one or more of the mortgage loans contributed to this securitization by JPMCB, JPMCB may not have strictly applied these underwriting guidelines as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating or mitigating factors.

 

Exceptions to JPMCB’s Disclosed Underwriting Guidelines.

 

We have disclosed generally our underwriting guidelines with respect to the mortgage loans. However, one or more of JPMCB’s mortgage loans may vary from the specific JPMCB underwriting guidelines described above when additional credit positive characteristics are present as discussed above. In addition, in the case of one or more of JPMCB’s mortgage loans, JPMCB may not have applied each of the specific underwriting guidelines described above as the result of case-by-case permitted flexibility based upon other compensating factors. In certain cases, we may have made exceptions and the underwriting of a particular mortgage loan did not comply with all aspects of the disclosed criteria. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC

 

General.

 

Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC, previously known as BSPCC Lender L.L.C. (“BSP”), is a sponsor of, and a seller of certain mortgage loans (the “BSP Mortgage Loans”) into, the securitization described in this prospectus. BSP is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The primary offices of BSP are located at 9 West 57th Street, Suite 4920, New York, New York 10019.

 

BSP’s Loan Origination and Acquisition History.

 

The participation by BSP in this securitization will be the fifteenth securitization in which it has been involved. BSP began originating and acquiring loans in 2014 and has not been involved in the securitization of any other types of financial assets.

 

BSP originates and acquires from unaffiliated third party originators, commercial mortgage loans throughout the United States. The following tables set forth information with respect to originations and acquisitions of fixed rate and floating rate commercial mortgage loans by BSP as of June 2, 2016.

In connection with this commercial mortgage securitization transaction, BSP will transfer the BSP Mortgage Loans to the depositor, who will then transfer the BSP Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity for this securitization. In return for the transfer by the depositor to the issuing entity of the BSP Mortgage Loans (together with the other mortgage loans being securitized), the issuing entity will issue commercial mortgage pass-through certificates that are, in whole or in part, backed by, and supported by the cash flows generated by, the mortgage loans being securitized. In coordination with underwriters or initial purchasers and the depositor, BSP will work with rating agencies, the other loan sellers, servicers and investors and will participate in structuring the securitization transaction to maximize the overall value and capital structure, taking into account numerous factors, including without limitation geographic and property type diversity and rating agency criteria.

 

Pursuant to an MLPA, BSP will make certain representations and warranties, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, and undertake certain loan document delivery requirements with respect to the BSP Mortgage Loans; and, in the event of an uncured material breach of any such representation and warranty or an uncured material document defect or omission, BSP will generally be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected mortgage loan or, in some cases, pay an amount estimated to cover the approximate loss associated with such breach, defect or omission. We cannot assure you that BSP will repurchase or replace, or make an estimated loss reimbursement payment with respect to, a defective mortgage loan, and no affiliate of BSP will be responsible for doing so if BSP fails with respect to its obligations.

 

BSP does not act as a servicer of the commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans that BSP originates or acquires and will not act as servicer in this commercial mortgage

securitization transaction. Instead, BSP sells the right to be appointed servicer of its securitized loans to unaffiliated third party servicers and utilizes unaffiliated third party servicers as interim servicers.

 

Review of BSP Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. BSP has conducted a review of the BSP Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the BSP Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals (the “BSP Review Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the BSP Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures may only be relevant to the large loan disclosures, if any, in this prospectus. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. Members of the BSP Review Team maintain a database of loan-level and property-level information, and prepared an asset summary report, relating to each BSP Mortgage Loan. The database and the respective asset summary reports were compiled from, among other sources, the related Mortgage Loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the BSP Team during the underwriting process. The BSP Review Team periodically updated the information in the database and the related asset summary report with respect to such BSP Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the BSP Review Team.

 

A data tape (the “BSP Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each BSP Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The BSP Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the BSP Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. BSP engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by BSP, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the BSP Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the BSP Data Tape against various source documents provided by BSP that are described under “—Review of BSP Mortgage Loans—Database” above;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the BSP Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the BSP Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the BSP Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. BSP engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the BSP Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each BSP Mortgage Loan, BSP’s origination counsel prepared a due diligence questionnaire that sets forth salient loan terms. In addition, such origination counsel for each BSP Mortgage Loan reviewed BSP’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the BSP Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of BSP’s asset summary report and its origination counsel’s due diligence questionnaire for each BSP Mortgage Loan, (ii) a review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the BSP Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) the review of select provisions in certain loan documents with respect to certain of the BSP Mortgage Loans.

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation on the underlying Mortgaged Properties of which BSP was aware at the origination of any BSP Mortgage Loan, the BSP Review Team requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. BSP

 

 222

 

 

conducted a search with respect to each borrower under the related BSP Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy. If the BSP Review Team became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property securing any BSP Mortgage Loan, the BSP Review Team obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

The BSP Review Team, with the assistance of applicable origination counsel, also reviewed the BSP Mortgage Loans to determine whether any BSP Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—BSP’s Underwriting Standards” below. See “—BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, the BSP Review Team determined that the disclosure regarding the BSP Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. The BSP Review Team also determined that the BSP Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with BSP’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described under “—BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below. BSP attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. BSP will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. BSP, and, if appropriate, its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it satisfies each of the criteria required under the terms of the related MLPA and the PSA (collectively, the “Qualification Criteria”). BSP will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by BSP and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by BSP to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

 

BSP’s Underwriting Standards

 

Each of the BSP Mortgage Loans was originated or acquired by BSP. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines and processes with respect to commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated or acquired by BSP.

 

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, we cannot assure you that the underwriting of any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan originated or acquired by BSP will conform to the general guidelines and processes described below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of particular BSP Mortgage Loans, see “—BSP’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below and “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus.

 

Loan Analysis. Generally both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis are conducted with respect to each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third party credit reports and/or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. The collateral analysis generally includes a review of, in each case to the extent available and applicable, the historical property operating statements, rent rolls and certain significant tenant leases. The credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments and seismic reports, if applicable and obtained. Generally, BSP also conducts or causes a third party to conduct a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market,

 

 223

 

 

accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

 

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan to be originated or acquired must be approved by a loan committee that includes senior personnel from BSP. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. The underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio. BSP’s underwriting standards generally require, without regard to any other debt, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20x and a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 75.0%.

 

A debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by BSP and payments on the loan based on actual (or, in some cases, assumed) principal and/or interest due on the loan. However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy may be utilized. There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Such underwritten net cash flow may be higher than historical net cash flow reflected in recent financial statements. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.

 

A loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal.

 

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have or permit in the future certain subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured, and/or mezzanine debt. It is possible that BSP or an affiliate may be the lender on that subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

The debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below will typically be obtained:

 

Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal will generally be required in connection with the origination or acquisition of each mortgage loan that meets the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, the value of the subject real property collateral may be established based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

 

Environmental Assessment. In most cases, a Phase I environmental assessment will be required with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Alternatively, in limited circumstances, an environmental assessment may not be required, such as when the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee have been obtained. It should be noted that an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint, mold and lead in

 

 224

 

 

drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only if it is believed that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; that the borrower conduct remediation activities or establish an operations and maintenance plan; and/or a guaranty or reserve with respect to environmental matters.

 

Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination/acquisition process, in most cases, it will be required that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, the appropriate response will be determined to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

 

Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Title Insurance. The borrower is required to provide a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (i) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (ii) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (iii) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (iv) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (v) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

 

Casualty Insurance. Except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are required to obtain insurance or may self-insure, BSP typically requires that the related mortgaged property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy must contain appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of coinsurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except that the policy may permit a deduction for depreciation in connection with a cash settlement after a casualty if the insurance proceeds are not being applied to rebuild or repair the damaged improvements.

 

Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any mortgaged property that at the time of origination or acquisition included material improvements in any area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency a special flood hazard area. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the property or, in cases where only a portion of the property is in the flood zone, the full insurable value of the portion of the property contained therein, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program Act of 1968, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

 

The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism. Generally, each of the mortgage loans requires that the related property have coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates. In many cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance.

 

Each mortgage instrument typically also requires the borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders.

 

 225

 

 

Each mortgage instrument typically further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than twelve months.

 

Although properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the property has material improvements and the seismic report indicates that the PML or the scenario expected loss (“SEL”) is greater than 20%.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination or acquisition of a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, BSP will generally examine whether the use and occupancy and construction of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, zoning reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

In some cases, a mortgaged property may constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure. In such cases, BSP may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy or the acquisition of law and ordinance insurance with respect to the particular non-conformity unless it determines that: (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild; (ii) if the improvements are rebuilt in accordance with currently applicable law, the value and performance of the property would be acceptable; (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring or BSP has a reasonable likelihood of recovering approximately 75% of proceeds from the casualty; or (iv) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

If a material violation exists with respect to a mortgaged property, BSP may require the borrower to remediate such violation and, subject to the discussion under “—BSP’s Underwriting Standards —Escrow Requirements” below, to establish a reserve to cover the cost of such remediation, unless a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

Escrow Requirements. Based on BSP’s analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, a borrower under a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may be required to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, tenant improvements/leasing commissions, deferred maintenance and/or environmental remediation. A case-by-case analysis will be conducted to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan. Furthermore, BSP may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, BSP may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSP’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, BSP may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted because a tenant or other third party has agreed to pay the subject cost or expense for which the escrow or reserve would otherwise have been established.

 

Generally, subject to the discussion in the prior paragraph, the required escrows for commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated or acquired by BSP are as follows:

 

Taxes—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically required to satisfy real estate taxes and assessments, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, or

 

 226

 

 

(ii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay, or there is sufficient evidence that such sole or major tenant is paying, taxes directly.

 

Insurance—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay insurance premiums, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (iii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is obligated to maintain, or there is sufficient evidence that such sole or major tenant is maintaining, the insurance or is permitted to self-insure.

 

Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, or (ii) if BSP determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSP’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs and maintenance absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Tenant Improvements/Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvements/leasing commissions reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by significant tenants, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, (ii) if the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iii) if BSP determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSP’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination or acquisition in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property, (iii) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for the repairs, or (iv) if BSP determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSP’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination or acquisition in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party or (iv) if BSP determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSP’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of remediation absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC

 

General

 

Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC (“SMF VI”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC (“SMC” and, together with its subsidiaries, including SMF VI, “Starwood”). SMF VI is a sponsor of, and a seller of certain mortgage loans (the “Starwood Mortgage Loans”) into, the securitization described in this prospectus. Starwood was formed to invest in commercial real estate debt. The executive offices of Starwood are located at 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 800, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. Starwood also maintains offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, Newport Beach, California and New York, New York.

 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association provides warehouse financing to SMF VI through a master repurchase facility. Seven (7) of the Starwood Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 13.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, are subject to that repurchase facility as of the date of this prospectus (except that the number and dollar amount of Starwood Mortgage Loans subject to that repurchase facility may increase or decrease prior to the issuance of the Offered Certificates).

 

Pursuant to interim servicing agreements between Wells Fargo, which is the trustee, the certificate administrator, the custodian, the certificate registrar and the 17g-5 information provider, and SMF VI, which is a sponsor and an originator, Wells Fargo acts as interim servicer with respect to some or all of the mortgage loans to be contributed to this securitization by SMF VI.

 

Starwood’s Securitization Program

 

This is the 63rd commercial mortgage securitization to which Starwood is contributing loans; however, certain key members of the senior management team of SMC were senior officers at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Deutsche Bank Mortgage Capital, L.L.C., Wachovia Bank and Banc of America Securities. These members of the senior management team have been active in the commercial mortgage securitization business since 1992, and have been directly and/or indirectly responsible for the origination and/or securitization of several billion dollars of loans. Starwood securitized approximately $8.21 billion of commercial loans in its prior securitizations.

 

 228

 

 

Starwood originates commercial mortgage loans that are secured by retail shopping centers, office buildings, multifamily apartment complexes, hotels, mixed use, self storage and industrial properties located in North America. Starwood’s securitization program generally provides fixed rate mortgage loans having maturities between five and ten years. Additionally, Starwood may from time to time provide bridge/transitional loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity structures.

 

Review of SMF VI Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. SMF VI has conducted a review of the SMF VI mortgage loans (the “SMF VI Mortgage Loans”) in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the SMF VI Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of Starwood or one or more of its affiliates (the “Starwood Review Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the SMF VI Mortgage Loans. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Starwood Review Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each SMF VI Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the Starwood Review Team during the underwriting process. After origination of each SMF VI Mortgage Loan, the Starwood Review Team updated the information in the database with respect to such SMF VI Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Starwood Review Team.

 

A data tape (the “SMF VI Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each SMF VI Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The SMF VI Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the SMF VI Mortgage Loans in this prospectus. With respect to the Mortgage Loan identified as “Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio” on Annex A-1, for which each of JPMCB and SMF VI will act as mortgage loan seller, the JPMCB Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the related Mortgage Loan in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. SMF VI engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures, the nature, extent and timing of which were designed by SMF VI, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the SMF VI Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the SMF VI Data Tape against various source documents provided by SMF VI that are described above under “—Database”;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the SMF VI Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the SMF VI Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the SMF VI Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. Starwood engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the SMF VI Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each SMF VI Mortgage Loan, Starwood’s origination counsel reviewed a form of securitization representations and warranties at origination and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties. Starwood’s origination and underwriting staff performed a similar review and prepared similar exception reports.

 

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the SMF VI Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of Starwood’s internal credit memorandum for each SMF VI Mortgage Loan, (ii) a review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the SMF VI Mortgage Loans prepared by origination

 

 229

 

 

counsel, (iii) the review and assistance in the completion by the Starwood Review Team of a due diligence questionnaire relating to the SMF VI Mortgage Loans, and (iv) the review of certain loan documents with respect to the SMF VI Mortgage Loans.

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation of which Starwood was aware at the origination of any SMF VI Mortgage Loan, Starwood requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel.

 

The Starwood Review Team, with the assistance of counsel engaged in connection with this securitization, also reviewed the SMF VI Mortgage Loans to determine whether any SMF VI Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes” below. See “SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Exceptions to SMF VI’s Disclosed Underwriting Guidelines” below.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, Starwood determined that the disclosure regarding the SMF VI Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Starwood also determined that the SMF VI Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Starwood’s origination procedures and underwritten (or reunderwritten) in accordance with Starwood’s underwriting criteria, except as described below under “SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Exceptions to SMF VI’s Disclosed Underwriting Guidelines” below. SMF VI attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. SMF VI will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a mortgage loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. SMF VI, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

SMF VI’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes

 

Overview. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines with respect to mortgage loans originated (or acquired and reunderwritten) by Starwood for securitization.

 

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, the property type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements, additional collateral, tenant quality and lease terms, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Therefore, this general description of Starwood’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria is not intended as a representation that every commercial mortgage loan originated (or acquired and reunderwritten) by Starwood complies entirely with all procedures and criteria set forth below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of an SMF VI Mortgage Loan in the mortgage pool, see the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, the other subsections of this “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers” section and “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

If a mortgage loan exhibits any one or more of the following characteristics, variances from general underwriting/origination procedures described below may be considered acceptable under the circumstances indicated: (i) low loan-to-value ratio; (ii) high debt service coverage ratio; (iii) experienced property loan sponsor(s)/guarantor(s) with financial wherewithal; (iv) additional springing reserves; (v) cash flow sweeps; and (vi) elements of recourse included in the mortgage loan.

 

Loan Analysis. Generally, both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis are conducted with respect to each mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third-party credit reports and/or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. The collateral analysis generally includes a review of, in each case to the extent available and applicable, the historical property operating

 

 230

 

 

statements, rent rolls and certain significant tenant leases. The credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments, zoning reports and seismic reports, if applicable, and obtained. Generally, a member of the mortgage loan underwriting team also conducts a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends. Unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, all financial, occupancy and other information contained in this prospectus is based on such information and we cannot assure you that such financial, occupancy and other information remains accurate.

 

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans originated by Starwood require approval by a loan credit committee which includes senior executives of SMC. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence prior to approval, approve it subject to modifications of the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. Generally, the debt service coverage ratio for mortgage loans originated by Starwood will be equal to or greater than 1.20x and the loan-to-value ratio for mortgage loans originated by Starwood will be equal to or less than 80%; provided, however, that the underwriting guidelines provide that exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan, the related property, loan-to-value ratio, reserves or other factors. For example, Starwood may originate a mortgage loan with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.20x based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Starwood’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance and/or other relevant factors.

 

In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans originated by Starwood, there may exist subordinate debt secured by the related property and/or mezzanine debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower. Such mortgage loans may have a lower debt service coverage ratio, and a higher loan-to-value ratio, if such subordinate or mezzanine debt is taken into account. Also, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan. The debt service coverage ratio guideline discussed above is calculated based on values determined at the origination of the mortgage loan.

 

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans originated by Starwood may have, or permit in the future, certain additional subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured. It is possible that an affiliate of Starwood may be the lender on that additional debt.

 

The debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such additional debt.

 

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below generally will be obtained:

 

Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal is required in connection with the origination of each mortgage loan. Starwood requires that the appraiser comply with and abide by Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (although such act is not applicable to Starwood) and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

 

Environmental Assessment. Phase I environmental assessments that conform to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E 1527-05 entitled, “Standard Practices for Environmental Site Assessment: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process,” as may be amended from time to time, are performed on all properties. However, when circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Nevertheless, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily uncover all potential environmental issues.

 

 231

 

 

Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; and/or a guaranty or reserves with respect to environmental matters.

 

Property Condition Assessments. Inspections or updates of previously conducted inspections are conducted by independent licensed engineers or architects or both for all properties in connection with the origination of a mortgage loan. The inspections are conducted to inspect the exterior walls, roofing, interior construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general condition of the site, buildings and other improvements located at a property. The resulting reports on some of the properties may indicate a variety of deferred maintenance items and recommended capital expenditures. In some instances, repairs or maintenance are completed before closing or cash reserves are established to fund the deferred maintenance or replacement items or both.

 

Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. With respect to each mortgage loan, Starwood will generally consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions; surveys; recorded documents; temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy; letters from government officials or agencies; title insurance endorsements; engineering or consulting reports; and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

However, the underwriting guidelines provide that Starwood may, on a case-by-case basis, consider a loan secured by a property that does not conform to current zoning regulations governing density, size, set-backs or parking for the property under certain circumstances including, but not limited to, when (i) legislation or the local zoning or housing authority permits the improvements to be rebuilt to pre-damage use, size and density in the event of partial or full destruction; and (ii) documentation of such permission is submitted in the form of legislation or a variance letter or certificate of rebuildability from the zoning authority.

 

Escrow Requirements. Generally, Starwood requires most borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated by Starwood are as follows:

 

Taxes – typically, an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide Starwood with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional loan sponsor or high net worth individual loan sponsor, or (ii) if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property in which the related tenant is required to pay taxes directly.

 

Insurance – if the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide Starwood with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (ii) if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property and the related tenant self-insures.

 

Replacement Reserves – replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property and the related tenant is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, including those required with respect to the roof and improvement structure.

 

 232

 

 

Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation – typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the applicable mortgage loan, Starwood generally requires that at least 125% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the applicable mortgage loan, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee with respect to such matter, (ii) if the estimated cost of such repair or remediation does not materially impact the property’s function, performance or value, or if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property for which the tenant is responsible for such repair or remediation or (iii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place.

 

Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions – in most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves may be required to be funded either at closing of the mortgage loan and/or during the related loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property and the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, or (ii) where rent at the related mortgaged property is considered below market.

 

Furthermore, Starwood may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Starwood may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Starwood’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

For a description of the escrows collected with respect to the SMF VI Mortgage Loans, please see Annex A-1.

 

Title Insurance Policy. The borrower is required to provide, and Starwood or its origination counsel typically will review, a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (a) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (b) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (c) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (d) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (e) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

 

Property Insurance. Starwood typically requires the borrower to provide one or more of the following insurance policies: (1) commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury or death and property damage; (2) an “All Risk of Physical Loss” policy; (3) if applicable, boiler and machinery coverage; and (4) if the mortgaged property is located in a special flood hazard area where mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply, flood insurance. In some cases, a sole tenant is responsible for maintaining insurance and, subject to the satisfaction of rating conditions or net worth criteria, is allowed to self-insure against the risks.

 

Exceptions to SMF VI’s Disclosed Underwriting Guidelines

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “478 Third Avenue” on Annex A-1, securing one (1) Mortgage Loan representing approximately 0.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the Initial Pool Balance, the debt yield is lower than the underwritten debt yield of 7.5% provided for in SMF VI’s underwriting guidelines. SMF VI’s decision to include the Mortgage Loan notwithstanding the exception was supported by the compensating factors that the Mortgaged Property is in a location that has demonstrated consistently strong demand, the Mortgaged Property includes an investment grade retail tenant and a multifamily component, and the LTV Ratio as of the Cut-off Date is 52.3%. Based on these compensating factors, SMF VI approved inclusion of this Mortgage Loan in this transaction.

 

 233

 

 

Servicing

 

Interim servicing for all loans originated by Starwood prior to securitization is typically performed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. In addition, primary servicing is occasionally retained by certain mortgage brokerage firms under established sub-servicing agreements with Starwood, which firms may continue primary servicing certain loans following the securitization closing date. Otherwise, servicing responsibilities are transferred from the interim servicer to the master servicer of the securitization trust at the closing of the securitization. From time to time, the interim servicer may retain primary servicing.

 

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

 

Starwood has no history as a securitizer prior to February 2012. SMC most recently filed a Form ABS-15G on February 14, 2017. SMC’s Central Index Key is 0001548405. SMF VI’s Central Index Key is 0001682518. SMF VI filed a Form ABS-15G on February 14, 2017. Starwood has no demand, repurchase or replacement history to report as required by Rule 15Ga-1.

 

Retained Interests in This Securitization

 

 As of the date hereof, neither Starwood nor any of its affiliates will retain on the Closing Date any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. Starwood or its affiliates may own in the future certain classes of certificates. Any such party will have the right to dispose of such certificates at any time.

 

The information set forth under “—Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC” has been provided by SMF VI.

 

The Depositor

 

J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., the depositor, is a Delaware corporation organized on September 19, 1994. The depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMCB. The depositor maintains its principal office at 383 Madison Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10179. Its telephone number is (212) 834-5467. The depositor does not have, nor is it expected in the future to have, any significant assets and is not engaged in activities unrelated to the securitization of mortgage loans. The depositor will not have any business operations other than securitizing mortgage loans and related activities.

 

The depositor will have minimal ongoing duties with respect to the certificates and the Mortgage Loans. The depositor’s duties will include, without limitation, (i) appointing a successor trustee in the event of the resignation or removal of the trustee, (ii) providing information in its possession with respect to the certificates to the tax administrator to the extent necessary to perform REMIC tax administration, (iii) indemnifying the trustee, the tax administrator and the issuing entity for any liability, assessment or costs arising from the depositor’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in providing such information, (iv) indemnifying the trustee and the tax administrator against certain securities law liabilities, and (v) signing or contracting with the master servicer, signing any Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the certification required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any Distribution Reports on Form 10-D and Current Reports on Form 8-K required to be filed by the issuing entity. The depositor is also required under the underwriting agreement to indemnify the underwriters for certain securities law liabilities.

 

The depositor purchases commercial mortgage loans and interests in commercial mortgage loans for the purpose of selling those assets to trusts created in connection with the securitization of pools of assets and does not engage in any activities unrelated to those securitizations. On the Closing Date, the depositor will acquire the mortgage loans from each mortgage loan seller and will simultaneously transfer them, without recourse, to the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

The depositor remains responsible under the PSA for providing the master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator and trustee with certain information and other assistance requested by those parties and reasonably necessary to performing their duties under the PSA. The depositor also remains responsible for mailing notices to the Certificateholders upon the appointment of certain successor entities under the PSA.

 

 234

 

 

The Issuing Entity

 

The issuing entity, JPMCC Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2017-JP7, will be a New York common law trust, formed on the Closing Date pursuant to the PSA.

 

The only activities that the issuing entity may perform are those set forth in the PSA, which are generally limited to owning and administering the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property, disposing of defaulted loans and REO Property, issuing the certificates, making distributions, providing reports to Certificateholders and other activities described in this prospectus. Accordingly, the issuing entity may not issue securities other than the certificates, or invest in securities, other than investing of funds in the Collection Account and other accounts maintained under the PSA in certain short-term permitted investments. The issuing entity may not lend or borrow money, except that the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee may make Advances of delinquent monthly debt service payments and Servicing Advances to the issuing entity, but only to the extent it does not deem such Advances to be nonrecoverable from the related mortgage loan; such Advances are intended to provide liquidity, rather than credit support. The PSA may be amended as set forth under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Amendment”. The issuing entity administers the Mortgage Loans through the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer. A discussion of the duties of the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer, including any discretionary activities performed by each of them, is set forth in this prospectus under “―The Trustee”, “―The Certificate Administrator”, “—The Master Servicer” and The Special Servicer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

 

The only assets of the issuing entity other than the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties are the Collection Account and other accounts maintained pursuant to the PSA, the short-term investments in which funds in the Collection Account and other accounts are invested. The issuing entity has no present liabilities, but has potential liability relating to ownership of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties and certain other activities described in this prospectus, and indemnity obligations to the trustee, the certificate administrator, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer and the operating advisor. The fiscal year of the issuing entity is the calendar year. The issuing entity has no executive officers or board of directors and acts through the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer.

 

The depositor will be contributing the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity. The depositor will be purchasing the Mortgage Loans from the mortgage loan sellers, as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

The Trustee

 

Wilmington Trust, National Association (“WTNA”) (formerly called M&T Bank, National Association) will act as trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant to the PSA. WTNA is a national banking association with trust powers incorporated in 1995. WTNA’s principal place of business is located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. WTNA is an affiliate of Wilmington Trust Company and both WTNA and Wilmington Trust Company are subsidiaries of Wilmington Trust Corporation and Wilmington Trust Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation.

Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the business of securities administration since June 30, 1995, and in connection with commercial mortgage-backed

 

 236

 

 

securities since 1997. As of September 30, 2016, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as securities administrator with respect to more than $410 billion of outstanding commercial mortgage-backed securities.

 

Wells Fargo Bank is acting as custodian of the mortgage loan files pursuant and subject to the PSA (and is acting as custodian of the mortgage loan file (other than the Mortgage Note with respect to the related mortgage loan for any Non-Serviced Whole Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA). In that capacity, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible to hold and safeguard the mortgage notes and other contents of the mortgage files on behalf of the trustee and the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank maintains each mortgage loan file in a separate file folder marked with a unique bar code to assure loan-level file integrity and to assist in inventory management. Files are segregated by transaction or investor. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the mortgage document custody business for more than 25 years. Wells Fargo Bank maintains its commercial document custody facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of September 30, 2016, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as custodian of more than 202,000 commercial mortgage loan files.

 

Wells Fargo Bank serves or may have served within the past two years as loan file custodian for various mortgage loans owned by the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, and one or more of those mortgage loans may be included in the trust. The terms of any custodial agreement under which those services are provided by Wells Fargo Bank are customary for the mortgage-backed securitization industry and provide for the delivery, receipt, review and safekeeping of mortgage loan files.

 

For three CMBS transactions in its portfolio, Wells Fargo Bank disclosed material noncompliance on its related 2016 Annual Statement of Compliance furnished pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the required recipients for the transactions.  For one CMBS transaction, an administrative error caused an overpayment to a certain class and a correlating underpayment to a certain class for two consecutive distributions.  Each of the affected distributions was revised the next month to correct the error.  For two CMBS transactions, distributions for one month were paid one day late as a result of an inadvertent payment systems error that occurred in connection with a conversion to a new payment system.  For one of these two CMBS transactions, distributions were one day late for the next month due to an unrelated delay in posting funds received from the servicer to the appropriate account.

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bank, in its capacity as trustee under 274 RMBS trusts (the “Federal Court Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted. As with the prior state court action, the Federal Court Complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, Citibank N.A., HSBC Bank USA, Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank National Association) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal Court Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the District Court by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these cases have been consolidated before the same District Court judge. A similar complaint was also filed May 27, 2016 in New York state court by a different plaintiff investor. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Federal Court Complaint in which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Federal Court Complaint; the District Court also allowed Plaintiffs to file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if they so choose, and three amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal Court Complaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the “State Court Complaint”). Motions to Dismiss all of the actions are pending except for the recently filed State Court Complaint.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations, or the possible impact of the litigation on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts. However, Wells Fargo Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

 

Except as set forth herein with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as master servicer, neither Wells Fargo Bank nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However, each of Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates may, from time to time, after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions. Any such party will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time.

properties securing the underlying mortgage loans for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth. CWCAM does not service or manage any assets other than commercial and multifamily real estate assets.

 

CWCAM has policies and procedures in place that govern its special servicing activities. These policies and procedures for the performance of its special servicing obligations are, among other things, in compliance with applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB under the Securities Act, including managing delinquent loans and loans subject to the bankruptcy of the borrower. Standardization and automation have been pursued, and continue to be pursued, wherever possible so as to provide for continued accuracy, efficiency, transparency, monitoring and controls. CWCAM reviews, updates and/or creates its policies and procedures throughout the year as needed to reflect any changing business practices, regulatory demands or general business practice refinements and incorporates such changes into its manual. Refinements within the prior three years include but are not limited to the improvement of controls and procedures implemented for property cash flow, wiring instructions and the expansion of unannounced property and employee audits.

 

CWCAM occasionally engages consultants to perform property inspections and to provide close surveillance on a property and its local market and may engage sub-servicers or contractors to perform on its behalf certain of its duties with respect to this transaction. CWCAM has made all advances required to be made by it under the servicing agreements on the commercial and multifamily mortgage loans serviced by CWCAM in securitization transactions.

 

CWCAM will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying mortgage loans. On occasion, CWCAM may have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular underlying mortgage loans or otherwise. To the extent that CWCAM has custody of any such documents, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

From time to time CWCAM is a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as the special servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth in the following paragraphs, there are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against CWCAM or of which any of its property is the subject, that are material to the certificateholders.

 

On December 17, 2015, U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under five pooling and servicing agreements for (i) Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C30, (ii) COBALT CMBS Commercial Trust 2007-C2, (iii) Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C31, (iv) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-5 and (v) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-6 commenced a proceeding with the Second Judicial District Court of Ramsey County, Minnesota (the “Minnesota Court”) for a declaratory judgment as to the proper allocation of certain proceeds in the alleged amount of $560 million (“Disputed Proceeds”) received by CWCAM as compensation in connection with the sale of the Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town property in New York, New York (the “Stuyvesant Town Property”) securing loans held by those trusts. CWCAM was the special servicer of the Stuyvesant Property. The petition requests the Minnesota Court to instruct the trustee, the trust beneficiaries, and any other interested parties as to the amount of the Disputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute penalty interest and/or the amount of the Disputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute gain-on-sale proceeds, with respect to each trust. On February 24, 2016, CWCAM made a limited appearance with the Minnesota Court to file a motion to dismiss this proceeding based on lack of jurisdiction, mootness, standing and forum non conveniens. On July 19, 2016, the State Court denied CWCAM’s motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2016, the action was removed to federal court in Minnesota (the “Federal Court”). On October 21, 2016, the Federal court held a hearing on the motion to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY Court”), a motion to remand to state court and a motion to hear CWCAM’s request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss. On March 14, 2017, the Federal Court reserved the determination on the motion to hear CWCAM’s request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied the motion to remand the matter to state court and granted the motion to transfer the proceeding to the SDNY Court. There can be no assurances as to the possible impact on CWCAM of these rulings and the transfer to the SDNY Court. However, CWCAM believes that it has performed its obligations under the related pooling and servicing agreements in good faith, and that the Disputed Proceeds were properly allocated to CWCAM as penalty

interest, and it intends to vigorously contest any claim that such Disputed Proceeds were improperly allocated as penalty interest.

 

On March 31, 2016, RAIT Preferred Funding II LTD. (“RAIT Preferred Funding”) commenced a complaint (“RAIT Complaint”) with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “Court”), claiming it owns $18,500,000 of a mortgage loan secured by the development of the One Congress Street property in Boston, Massachusetts (the “One Congress Street Loan”) and seeking (a) a declaratory judgment stating that RAIT Preferred Funding is the directing lender under a co-lender agreement dated March 28, 2007 and a pooling and servicing agreement dated March 1, 2007 (collectively, the “Operative Agreements”) and was the directing lender at the time of the improper modification of the One Congress Street Loan (the “Modification”), (b) a declaratory judgment stating that RAIT Preferred Funding has the right to terminate the special servicer, (c) monetary damages for the value of the bonds and fees paid to CWCAM as the special servicer of the One Congress Street Loan and (d) other things. On May 17, 2016, CWCAM filed a motion to dismiss the RAIT Complaint (“Motion to Dismiss”) stating that the Complaint did not state a claim and the essential facts of the RAIT Complaint are negated by affidavits and evidentiary materials submitted with the RAIT Complaint. On June 14, 2016, RAIT Preferred Funding filed a memorandum of law in opposition to the OCS Motion to Dismiss (the “OCS Opposition”) stating that the claims in the RAIT Complaint were properly stated. On June 30, 2016, CWCAM filed a reply (the “OCS Reply”) in support of the OCS Motion to Dismiss and in response to the OCS Opposition, stating that each of CWCAM’s arguments is supported by the express language of the agreements between the parties, the documentary evidence and New York case law. On September 30, 2016, RAIT Preferred Funding and CWCAM entered into a confidential settlement agreement (the “2016 Settlement”), which provides for a stay of the RAIT Preferred Funding litigation (the “Litigation State”) through August 25, 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the 2016 Settlement, upon satisfaction of a term of the 2016 Settlement by August 25, 2017 (or such later date agreed to by the parties), the RAITO referred Funding litigation will be dismissed, with prejudice. If the term is not satisfied, RAIT Preferred Funding will contact the RAIT Court to re-set oral argument on the OCS Motion to Dismiss and other deadlines. The parties may jointly seek to extend the Litigation Stay, subject to RAIT Court approval. CWCAM believes that it has performed its obligations under the Operative Agreements in good faith, and disputes RAIT Preferred Funding’s allegations and should the matter not be resolved via this 2016 Settlement, it intends to vigorously contest such allegations.

 

On January 24, 2016 PSW NYC LLC commenced a complaint (the “PSW Complaint”) with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “PSW Court”) against Bank of America, N.A. as trustee under the pooling and servicing agreements for Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C30 and COBALT CMBS Commercial Trust 2007-C2, U.S. Bank National Association as trustee under the pooling and servicing agreements for Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C31, ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-5 and ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-6 (collectively, the “PSW Trusts”), PCV-M Holdings LLC and CWCapital Asset Management LLC, individually and as special servicer for the PSW Trusts (collectively, the “Defendants”) seeking either (a) damages in an amount to be determined by the PSW Court but alleged by the plaintiffs to be approximately $500,000,000 – such amount being the amount PSW NYC LLC alleges would have been recovered on certain mezzanine loans (the “PCVST Mezzanine Loans”) related to the Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town property (the “PCVST Property”) in New York City which PSW NYC LLC sold to an entity related to the Defendants pursuant to a settlement agreement related to certain prior litigation (the “2010 Settlement Agreement”) or (b) the rescission of the 2010 Settlement Agreement which would result in, among other things, the rescission of the sale of the PCVST Mezzanine Loans and a claim for certain proceeds from the sale of the PCVST Property. PSW NYC LLC alleges that the Defendants procured the 2010 Settlement Agreement by fraud and further that the terms of the 2010 Settlement Agreement were breached by the Defendants. On February 26, 2016, CWCAM on behalf of itself and the other Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the PSW Complaint (the “CWCAM Motion to Dismiss”). On April 11, 2016, PSW NYC LLC opposed the CWCAM Motion to Dismiss and cross-moved for a partial summary judgment on liability regarding allegations of breach of the 2010 Settlement Agreement (the “PSW Cross-Motion”). On May 5, 2016, the Defendants subsequently filed its reply and opposition to the PSW Cross-Motion. On August 23, 2016, oral arguments were provided to the PSW Court regarding the PSW Complaint, the CWCAM Motion to Dismiss, and the PSW Cross-Motion and the PSW Court took such arguments under advisement. On October 31, 2016, the PSW Court issued an order granting the CWCAM Motion to Dismiss, denying the PSW Cross-Motion and dismissing the PSW Complaint with prejudice. Subsequently, PSW NYC LLC filed a notice of appeal

relating to such order. On February 21, 2017, PSW NYC LLC filed its appeal and supporting brief arguing that the PSW Court erred by finding no breach of the assignment agreement and no fraudulent inducement. Oral argument was heard on May 4, 2017, at which point the court took the arguments under advisement. CWCAM intends to vigorously contest the appeal.

The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer

 

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC (“Pentalpha Surveillance”), a Delaware limited liability company, will act as the operating advisor under the PSA with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Whole Loan. The operating advisor will have certain review and consultation duties with respect to activities of the special servicer, including the right to recommend the replacement of the special servicer at any time. Pentalpha Surveillance will also be serving as the asset representations reviewer under the PSA. The asset representations reviewer will be required to review certain delinquent Mortgage Loans after a specified delinquency threshold has been exceeded and notification from the certificate administrator that the required percentage of Certificateholders have voted to direct a review of such delinquent Mortgage Loans.

 

The principal office of Pentalpha Surveillance is located in Greenwich, Connecticut. Pentalpha Surveillance is privately held (founded in 2005) and is primarily dedicated to providing independent oversight of loan securitization trusts’ ongoing operations.

 

Pentalpha Surveillance maintains proprietary compliance checking software and a team of industry operations veterans focused on independently investigating and resolving loan origination and servicing flaws. This includes, but is not limited to, collections optimization, representation and warranty settlements, derivative contract errors and transaction party disputes. Loans collateralized by commercial and residential real estate debt represent the majority of its focus. More than $500 billion of residential, commercial and other income producing loans have been boarded to the Pentalpha Surveillance system in connection with the services provided by the Pentalpha group of companies.

As of May 31, 2017, Pentalpha Surveillance has acted as asset representations reviewer in 22 commercial mortgage backed securitizations with an aggregate initial unpaid principal balance of approximately $21 billion. Pentalpha Surveillance has not been operating advisor on a transaction for which any Rating Agency has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of, one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing concerns with the operating advisor as the sole or a material factor in such rating action.

 

Pentalpha Surveillance also has been engaged as an independent representation and warranty reviewer on numerous residential mortgage backed securitizations across multiple issuer platforms. In that role, Pentalpha Surveillance has been integrally involved in the design and development of specific operational protocols and testing methodologies in connection with the breach review process related to representations and warranties. In addition, Pentalpha Surveillance has been a leader in the concept, design and implementation of the asset representations reviewer role in commercial mortgage backed securitizations both during its consideration and after its adoption by the Securities and Exchange Commission in September 2014.

 

Pentalpha Surveillance is not an affiliate of the issuing entity, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, any “originators” (within the meaning of Item 1110 of Regulation AB) or any “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1112 of Regulation AB) with respect to the trust.

 

Pentalpha Surveillance does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a

 

 249

 

 

Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer (to the extent it also acts as the asset representations reviewer).

 

From time to time, Pentalpha Surveillance may be a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. However, there are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against Pentalpha Surveillance or of which any of its property is the subject, that would have a material adverse effect on Pentalpha Surveillance’s business or its ability to serve as operating advisor or asset representations reviewer pursuant to the PSA or that is material to the holders of the certificates.

 

Neither Pentalpha Surveillance nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. For a description of any material affiliations, relationships and related transactions between the operating advisor, asset representations reviewer and the other transaction parties, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

 

The operating advisor and asset representations reviewer will only be liable under the PSA to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the PSA, and no implied duties or obligations may be asserted against the operating advisor or asset representations reviewer. For further information regarding the duties, responsibilities, rights and obligations of the operating advisor and asset representations reviewer, as the case may be, under the PSA, including those related to indemnification, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, “—The Asset Representations Reviewer” and “—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”.

CREDIT RISK RETENTION

 

General

 

This transaction is required to comply with the risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Exchange Act as they relate to commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “Credit Risk Retention Rules”). JPMCB has been designated by the sponsors to act as the risk-retaining sponsor (in such capacity, the “Retaining Sponsor”) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules and JPMCB will elect to satisfy its risk retention requirements through the purchase by a “third-party purchaser” of an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (each as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules). It is expected that Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Third Party Purchaser”), will act as the “third-party purchaser” by purchasing the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates set forth in the table below, and will agree to hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to a “third-party purchaser” (and its affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

Notwithstanding any references in this prospectus to the Credit Risk Retention Rules, the Retaining Sponsor, the Third Party Purchaser and other risk retention related matters, in the event the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or any relevant portion thereof) are repealed or determined by applicable regulatory agencies to be no longer applicable to this securitization transaction, none of the Retaining Sponsor, the Third Party Purchaser or any other party will be required to comply with or act in accordance with the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or such relevant portion thereof).

As of the date of this prospectus, there are no material differences between (a) the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the preliminary prospectus, dated July 13, 2017, under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the certificates and (b) the valuation methodology or the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value set forth above under this “Credit Risk Retention” section.

 

A reasonable time after the Closing Date, the Retaining Sponsor will be required to disclose to, or cause to be disclosed to, certificateholders the following: (a) the fair value (expressed as a percentage of the fair value of all the Classes of Regular Certificates and as a dollar amount) of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates that were retained by the Third Party Purchaser based on actual sale prices and finalized tranche sizes, (b) the fair value (expressed as a percentage of the fair value of all the Classes of Regular Certificates and as a dollar amount) of the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) that the Retaining Sponsor is required to retain under the Credit Risk Retention Rules, and (c) to the extent the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the preliminary prospectus under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the certificates materially differs from the methodology or key inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value at the time of closing, descriptions of those material differences. Any such disclosures are expected to be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K on or a reasonable period after the Closing Date.

Solely for its own purposes and benefit, the Third Party Purchaser has completed an independent review of the credit risk of each mortgage loan. The review consisted of a review of the sponsors’ underwriting standards as provided by the sponsors, the collateral securing each mortgage loan and expected cash flows related to the mortgage loans. Such review was based on the mortgage loan files and information regarding the mortgage loans provided by or on behalf of the sponsors and was not independently verified by the Third Party Purchaser. The Third Party Purchaser performed its due diligence solely for its own benefit. The Third Party Purchaser has no liability to any person or entity for the manner in which it conducted its due diligence or the extent of such due diligence. Third Party Purchaser’s review and conclusions may not be relied upon by anyone else and may not be construed as an approval or endorsement of the sponsors’ underwriting standards or of any mortgage loan or any loan level disclosure in this prospectus. The Third Party Purchaser makes no representations or warranties with respect to any such underwriting standards, information or disclosure and has not independently verified the truth or accuracy of any representations and warranties made by the sponsors or any other party to the transaction or any related documents.

 

 253

 

 

The Third Party Purchaser is not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in the certificates or any other party in conducting its due diligence or in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in its capacity as owner of its certificates or in making requests or recommendations to the sponsors as to the selection of the mortgage loans and the establishment of other transaction terms. Investors and other third parties are not entitled to rely on in any way the Third Party Purchaser’s due diligence or acceptance of a mortgage loan. The Third Party Purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan does not constitute, and may not be construed as, an endorsement or approval of any such mortgage loan, the underwriting for such mortgage loan or of the originator of such mortgage loan.

 

The Third Party Purchaser will have no liability to any certificateholder for any actions taken by it and the pooling and servicing agreement will provide that each certificateholder, by its acceptance of a certificate, forever waives and releases any claims against Third Party Purchaser and such buyers, and their respective affiliates, in respect of such actions.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer”.

 

Hedging, Transfer and Financing Restrictions

 

The Third Party Purchaser will agree to hedging, transfer and financing restrictions related to its ownership of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates consistent with all applicable hedging, transfer and financing restrictions that apply to “third party purchasers” under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

These restrictions will include an agreement by the Third Party Purchaser not to transfer the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates (which, in the aggregate, are an “eligible horizontal residual interest” for this securitization) until July 31, 2022. After that date, the Third Party Purchaser may transfer the eligible horizontal residual interest to a successor third-party purchaser as long as the Third Party Purchaser satisfies all applicable provisions of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, including providing the sponsors with complete identifying information for the successor third-party purchaser and the successor third-party purchaser agreeing to comply with the hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to subsequent third-party purchasers (and its affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

The restrictions on hedging and transfer under the Credit Risk Retention Rules as in effect on the Closing Date of this transaction will expire on and after the date that is the earliest of (A) the date that is the latest of (i) the date on which the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date; (ii) the date on which the total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates as of the Closing Date; or (iii) two years after the Closing Date and (B) the date on which all of the Mortgage Loans have been defeased in accordance with §244.7(b)(8)(i) of the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

Operating Advisor

 

The Operating Advisor for the transaction is Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Operating Advisor”). As described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, the Operating Advisor will, in general and under certain circumstances described in this prospectus, have the following responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

 

review the actions of the special servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan to the extent described in this prospectus and required under the PSA;

 

review reports provided by the Special Servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA;

 

review for accuracy certain calculations made by the Special Servicer; and

 

issue an annual report (if any Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar

 

 254

 

 

year) generally setting forth whether the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the special servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the PSA with respect to Specially Serviced Loans.

 

In addition, if the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the Special Servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the Special Servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), the Operating Advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor—Recommendation of the Replacement of the Special Servicer” and “—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause”.

 

Further, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor will be required to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports prepared for each Specially Serviced Loan and with respect to Major Decisions in respect of the Mortgage Loans for which the Operating Advisor has received a Major Decision Reporting Package. The Operating Advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as Operating Advisor under the PSA for this transaction with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that the Operating Advisor may have limited consultation rights with a Non-Serviced Special Servicer pursuant to the Non-Serviced PSA. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”.

 

An “Operating Advisor Consultation Event” will occur when the Certificate Balances of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial Certificate Balances of such classes in the aggregate.

 

The Operating Advisor will be entitled to compensation in the form of the Operating Advisor Fee, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee and reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses.  For additional information, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses—Operating Advisor Compensation”.

 

The Operating Advisor is required to be an Eligible Operating Advisor at all times that it is acting as Operating Advisor under the PSA. As a result of Pentalpha Surveillance LLC’s experience and independence as described under “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”, the representations and warranties being given by Pentalpha Surveillance LLC under the PSA and satisfaction that no payments have been paid by any special servicer to Pentalpha Surveillance LLC of any fees, compensation or other remuneration (x) in respect of its obligations under the PSA, or (y) for the appointment or recommendation for replacement of a successor special servicer to become the special servicer, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC qualifies as an Eligible Operating Advisor under the PSA.

 

For additional information regarding the Operating Advisor, a description of how the Operating Advisor satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Operating Advisor, a description of the material terms of the PSA with respect to the Operating Advisor’s obligations under the PSA and any material conflicts of interest or material potential conflicts of interest between the Operating Advisor and another party to this securitization transaction, see “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”.

 

The disclosures set forth in this prospectus under the headings referenced in the preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated by reference in this “Credit Risk Retention—Operating Advisor” section.

Description of the Certificates

 

General

 

The certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, among the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer (the “PSA”) and will represent in the aggregate the entire ownership interest in the issuing entity. The assets of the issuing entity will consist of: (1) the Mortgage Loans and all payments under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after the Cut-off Date (exclusive of payments of principal and/or interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-off Date); (2) any REO Property but, with respect to any Whole Loan, only to the extent of the issuing entity’s interest in such Whole Loan; (3) those funds or assets as from time to time are deposited in the accounts discussed in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Accounts” (but, with respect to any Whole Loan, only to the extent of the issuing entity’s interest in such Whole Loan), if established; (4) the rights of the mortgagee under all insurance policies with respect to its Mortgage Loans; and (5) certain rights of the depositor under each MLPA relating to Mortgage Loan document delivery requirements and the representations and warranties of each mortgage loan seller regarding the Mortgage Loans it sold to the depositor.

 

The Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2017-JP7 will consist of the following classes: the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates (collectively, with the Class A-S certificates, the “Class A Certificates”), Class X-A and Class X-B certificates (collectively, the “Class X Certificates”), Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR and Class R certificates.

 

The Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-S certificates) and the Class X Certificates are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the “Senior Certificates”. The Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the “Subordinate Certificates”. The Class R certificates are sometimes referred to in this prospectus as the “Residual Certificates”. The Senior Certificates and the Subordinate Certificates are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Regular Certificates”. The Senior Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and the Subordinate Certificates are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Principal Balance Certificates”. The Class A Certificates, the Class X Certificates and the Class B and Class C certificates are also referred to in this prospectus as the “Offered Certificates”.

 

 258

 

 

Upon initial issuance, the Principal Balance Certificates will have the respective initial Certificate Balances and the Class X Certificates will have the respective initial Notional Amounts, shown below (in each case, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%):

 

Class  Initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount
Offered Certificates      
A-1  $ 25,027,000 
A-2  $ 43,242,000 
A-3  $ 129,650,000

F-RR  $ 16,220,000 
G-RR  $ 9,124,000 
NR-RR  $ 32,439,952 

 

The “Certificate Balance” of any class of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount that its holders are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the issuing entity, all as described in this prospectus. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of each class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced by any distributions of principal actually made on, and by any Realized Losses actually allocated to, that class of Principal Balance Certificates on that Distribution Date. In the event that Realized Losses previously allocated to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in reduction of its Certificate Balance are recovered subsequent to such Certificate Balance being reduced to zero, holders of such class of Principal Balance Certificates may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the distribution priorities described under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” below.

 

The Residual Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or entitle their holders to distributions of principal or interest.

 

The Class X Certificates will not have Certificate Balances, nor will they entitle their holders to distributions of principal, but the Class X Certificates will represent the right to receive distributions of interest in an amount equal to the aggregate interest accrued on their respective notional amounts (each, a “Notional Amount”). The Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will equal the aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class A Certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will be approximately $634,610,000. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will equal the aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will be approximately $76,031,000.

 

The Mortgage Loans will be held by the lower-tier REMIC (the “Lower-Tier REMIC”). The certificates will be issued by the upper-tier REMIC (the “Upper-Tier REMIC”) (collectively with the Lower-Tier REMIC, the “Trust REMICs”).

 

Distributions

 

Method, Timing and Amount

 

Distributions on the certificates are required to be made by the certificate administrator, to the extent of available funds as described in this prospectus, on the 4th business day following each Determination Date

 

 

 259

 

 

(each, a “Distribution Date”). The “Determination Date” will be the 11th day of each calendar month (or, if the 11th calendar day of that month is not a business day, then the next business day) commencing in August 2017.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any certificate) are required to be made to the Certificateholders in whose names the certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date. With respect to any Distribution Date, the “Record Date” will be the last business day of the month preceding the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. These distributions are required to be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if the Certificateholder has provided the certificate administrator with written wiring instructions no less than 5 business days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) or otherwise by check mailed to the Certificateholder. The final distribution on any certificate is required to be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of the final distribution. All distributions made with respect to a class of certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding certificates of that class based on their respective Percentage Interests.

 

The “Percentage Interest” evidenced by any certificate (other than a Class R certificate) will equal its initial denomination as of the Closing Date divided by the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the related class.

 

The master servicer is authorized but not required to direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account in U.S. government securities and other obligations that satisfy criteria established by the Rating Agencies (“Permitted Investments”). The master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the master servicer will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA. For so long as Well Fargo Bank, National Association is the certificate administrator, funds held in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account may not be invested; provided, that if Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, is not the certificate administrator, such funds may be invested in Permitted Investments. The certificate administrator will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the certificate administrator will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA.

 

Available Funds

 

The aggregate amount available for distribution to holders of the certificates on each Distribution Date (the “Available Funds”) will, in general, equal the sum of the following amounts (without duplication):

 

(a)       the aggregate amount of all cash received on the Mortgage Loans (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, only to the extent received by the issuing entity pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) and any REO Property that is on deposit in the Collection Account (in each case, exclusive of any amount on deposit in or credited to any portion of the Collection Account that is held for the benefit of the holder of any related Companion Loan), as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date, exclusive of (without duplication):

 

all scheduled payments of principal and/or interest and any balloon payments paid by the borrowers of a Mortgage Loan (such amounts, the “Periodic Payments”), that are due on a Due Date after the end of the related Collection Period, excluding interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-off Date;

  

all unscheduled payments of principal (including prepayments), unscheduled interest, liquidation proceeds, net insurance proceeds and net condemnation proceeds and other unscheduled recoveries received subsequent to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to voluntary prepayments of principal of each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring after the related Determination Date, subsequent to the related Due Date) allocable to the Mortgage Loans;

 

 260

 

 

all amounts in the Collection Account that are due or reimbursable to any person other than the Certificateholders;

 

with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each February and in any January occurring in a year that is not a leap year (unless such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amount to the extent those funds are on deposit in the Collection Account;

 

all Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums;

 

all amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and

 

any late payment charges or accrued interest on a Mortgage Loan allocable to the default interest rate for such Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted by law, excluding any interest calculated at the Mortgage Rate for the related Mortgage Loan;

 

(b)       if and to the extent not already included in clause (a), the aggregate amount transferred from the REO Account allocable to the Mortgage Loans to the Collection Account for such Distribution Date;

 

(c)       all Compensating Interest Payments made by the master servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date and P&I Advances made by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Distribution Date (net of certain amounts that are due or reimbursable to persons other than the Certificateholders);

 

(d)       with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each March (or February, if such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amounts as required to be deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to the PSA; and

 

(e)       the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date.

 

The “Collection Period” for each Distribution Date and any Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) will be the period commencing on the day immediately following the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) in the month preceding the month in which that Distribution Date occurs or the date that would have been the Due Date if such Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) had a Due Date in such preceding month and ending on and including the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) occurring in the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the last day of a Collection Period is not a business day, any Periodic Payments received with respect to Mortgage Loans (including any Companion Loan) relating to such Collection Period on the business day immediately following such day will be deemed to have been received during such Collection Period and not during any other Collection Period.

 

Due Date” means, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan), the date on which scheduled payments of principal, interest or both are required to be made by the related borrower.

 

The “Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the aggregate amount of (i) the sum of (a) the aggregate portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of Regular Certificates that would remain unpaid as of the close of business on the related Distribution Date, and (b) the amount by which the Principal Distribution Amount exceeds the aggregate amount that would actually be distributed on the related Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount, and (ii) any Realized Losses outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, to the extent such amounts would occur on such Distribution Date or would be outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, as applicable, without the inclusion of the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount as part of the definition of Available Funds.

 

The “Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount.

Priority of Distributions

 

On each Distribution Date, for so long as the Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts of the Regular Certificates have not been reduced to zero, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent of the Available Funds, in the following order of priority:

(e)to the Class A-4 certificates, in an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount (or the portion of it remaining after payments specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above have been made) for such Distribution Date, until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-4 certificates is reduced to zero,

 

(f)to the Class A-5 certificates, in an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount (or the portion of it remaining after payments specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above have been made) for such Distribution Date, until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-5 certificates is reduced to zero,

The “Cross-Over Date” means the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all previously been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to those certificates.

 

 264

 

 

Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the class of certificates in respect of which a reimbursement is made.

 

Pass-Through Rates

 

The interest rate (the “Pass-Through Rate”) applicable to each class of certificates (other than the Class R certificates) for any Distribution Date will equal the rates set forth below:

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-1 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 1.9688%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-2 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.0375%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-3 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.3785%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-4 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.1946%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-5 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.4540%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-SB certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.2412%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-S certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.6972%, subject to a maximum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class B certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.0500%, subject to a maximum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period..

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class C certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period, less 0.7500%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class D certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class E-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class F-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class G-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class NR-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related interest accrual period.

 

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-A certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates for such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

 

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-B certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class B and Class C certificates for the related Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

 

The “WAC Rate” with respect to any Distribution Date is equal to the weighted average of the applicable Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as of the first day

 

 265

 

 

of the related Collection Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Stated Principal Balances as of the first day of such Collection Period (after giving effect to any payments received during any applicable grace period).

 

The “Net Mortgage Rate” for each Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than the portion of the REO Loan related to any Companion Loan) is equal to the related Mortgage Rate then in effect, less the related Administrative Cost Rate; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Pass-Through Rates, the Net Mortgage Rate for any Mortgage Loan will be determined without regard to any modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, whether agreed to by the master servicer, the special servicer or resulting from a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the related borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Mortgage Loans that do not accrue interest on a 30/360 Basis, then, solely for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate on the Regular Certificates, the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan for any one-month period preceding a related Due Date will be the annualized rate at which interest would have to accrue in respect of the Mortgage Loan on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in order to produce the aggregate amount of interest actually required to be paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan during the one-month period at the related Net Mortgage Rate; provided, however, that with respect to each Actual/360 Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate for the one-month period (1) prior to the Due Dates in January and February in any year which is not a leap year or in February in any year which is a leap year (in either case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date) will be determined exclusive of Withheld Amounts, and (2) prior to the Due Date in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), will be determined inclusive of Withheld Amounts for the immediately preceding February and January, as applicable. With respect to any REO Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate will be calculated as described above, as if the predecessor Mortgage Loan had remained outstanding.

 

Administrative Cost Rate” as of any date of determination will be a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate, the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate.

 

Mortgage Rate” with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Companion Loan is the per annum rate at which interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan as stated in the related Mortgage Note or the promissory note evidencing such Companion Loan without giving effect to any default rate or “Revised Rate”.

 

Interest Distribution Amount

 

The “Interest Distribution Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and each class of Regular Certificates will equal (A) the sum of (i) the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to such class for such Distribution Date and (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if any, with respect to such class for such Distribution Date, less (B) any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to such class on such Distribution Date.

 

The “Interest Accrual Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and any class of Regular Certificates is equal to interest for the related Interest Accrual Period accrued at the Pass-Through Rate for such class on the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, for such class immediately prior to that Distribution Date. Calculations of interest for each Interest Accrual Period will be made on a 30/360 Basis.

 

An “Interest Shortfall” with respect to any Distribution Date for any class of Regular Certificates is the sum of (a) the portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for such class remaining unpaid as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) other than in the case of certificates with a Notional Amount, one month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such class for the current Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the certificates with a Notional Amount, one-month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the WAC Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

The “Interest Accrual Period” for each Distribution Date will be the calendar month prior to the month in which that Distribution Date occurs.

 

 266

 

 

Principal Distribution Amount

 

The “Principal Distribution Amount” for any Distribution Date will be equal to the sum of the following amounts:

 

(a)       the Principal Shortfall for that Distribution Date,

 

(b)       the Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, and

 

(c)       the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date;

 

provided that the Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date will be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of any reimbursements of:

 

(A)       Nonrecoverable Advances (including any servicing advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA reimbursed out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans), with interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, and

 

(B)       Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,

 

provided, further, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, if any of the amounts that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan (or REO Loan), such recovery will increase the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to the period in which such recovery occurs.

 

The “Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the principal portions of (a) all Periodic Payments (excluding balloon payments) with respect to the Mortgage Loans due during or, if and to the extent not previously received or advanced and distributed to Certificateholders on a preceding Distribution Date, prior to the related Collection Period and all Assumed Scheduled Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Collection Period, in each case to the extent paid by the related borrower as of the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date) or advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, and (b) all balloon payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the extent received on or prior to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date), and to the extent not included in clause (a) above. The Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount from time to time will include all late payments of principal made by a borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including late payments in respect of a delinquent balloon payment, received by the times described above in this definition, except to the extent those late payments are otherwise available to reimburse the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, for prior Advances, as described above.

 

The “Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the following: (a) all prepayments of principal received on the Mortgage Loans as of the Determination Date; and (b) any other collections (exclusive of payments by borrowers) received on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on or prior to the related Determination Date whether in the form of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, net income, rents, and profits from REO Property or otherwise, that were identified and applied by the master servicer as recoveries of previously unadvanced principal of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that all such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds will be reduced by any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, any

 

 267

 

 

amount related to the Loss of Value Payments to the extent that such amount was transferred into the Collection Account during the related Collection Period, accrued interest on Advances and other additional trust fund expenses incurred in connection with the related Mortgage Loan, thus reducing the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount.

 

The “Assumed Scheduled Payment” for any Collection Period and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), that is delinquent in respect of its balloon payment or any REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan), is an amount equal to the sum of (a) the principal portion of the Periodic Payment that would have been due on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan on the related Due Date based on the constant payment required by such related Mortgage Note or the original amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan, as the case may be (as calculated with interest at the related Mortgage Rate), if applicable, assuming the related balloon payment has not become due, after giving effect to any reduction in the principal balance occurring in connection with a modification of such Mortgage Loan in connection with a default or a bankruptcy modification (or similar proceeding), and (b) interest on the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan) at its Mortgage Rate (net of interest at the applicable rate at which the Servicing Fee is calculated).

 

The “Principal Shortfall” for any Distribution Date means the amount, if any, by which (1) the Principal Distribution Amount for the prior Distribution Date exceeds (2) the aggregate amount actually distributed on the preceding Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount.

 

The “Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance” for any Distribution Date is the balance shown for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. Such balances were calculated using, among other things, certain weighted average life assumptions. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life”. Based on such assumptions, the Certificate Balance of the Class A-SB certificates on each Distribution Date would be expected to be reduced to the balance indicated for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. We cannot assure you, however, that the mortgage loans will perform in conformity with our assumptions. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the balance of the Class A-SB certificates on any Distribution Date will be equal to the balance that is specified for such Distribution Date in the table.

 

Certain Calculations with Respect to Individual Mortgage Loans

 

The “Stated Principal Balance” of each Mortgage Loan will be an amount equal to its unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date or, in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the date it is added to the trust, after application of all payments of principal due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not those payments have been received, minus the sum of:

 

(i)        the principal portion of each Periodic Payment due on such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, due after the Due Date in the related month of substitution), to the extent received from the borrower or advanced by the master servicer;

 

(ii)       all principal prepayments received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution);

 

(iii)      the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on such Mortgage Loan) and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution); and

 

(iv)      any reduction in the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan resulting from a valuation by a court in a bankruptcy proceeding that is less than the then outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or a modification of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and provisions of the PSA that occurred prior to the end of the Collection Period for the most recent Distribution Date.

 

 268

 

 

The Stated Principal Balance of any REO Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, will be an amount equal to (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Mortgage Loan as of the date of the acquisition of the related REO Property for U.S. federal tax purposes, minus (y) the sum of:

 

(i)        the principal portion of any P&I Advance made with respect to such REO Loan; and

 

(ii)       the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on the related Mortgage Loan), Liquidation Proceeds and all income rents and profits received with respect to such REO Loan.

 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans” below.

 

With respect to each Companion Loan on any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance will equal the unpaid principal balance of such Companion Loan as of such date. On any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance of each Whole Loan will equal the sum of the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, on such date.

 

With respect to any REO Loan that is a successor to a Companion Loan as of any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance shall equal (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Companion Loan as of the date of the acquisition of the related REO Property for U.S. federal tax purposes, minus (y) the principal portion of any amounts allocable to the related Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

If any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is paid in full or the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or any REO Property) is otherwise liquidated, then, as of the first Distribution Date that follows the end of the Collection Period in which that payment in full or liquidation occurred and notwithstanding that a loss may have occurred in connection with any liquidation, the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan will be zero.

 

For purposes of calculating allocations of, or recoveries in respect of, Realized Losses, as well as for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fee, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, Operating Advisor Fee and Asset Representations Reviewer Fee payable each month, each REO Property (including any REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan held pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) will be treated as if there exists with respect to such REO Property an outstanding Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, each related Companion Loan (an “REO Loan”), and all references to Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and pool of Mortgage Loans in this prospectus, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any REO Loans. Each REO Loan will generally be deemed to have the same characteristics as its actual predecessor Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan), including the same fixed Mortgage Rate (and, accordingly, the same Net Mortgage Rate) and the same unpaid principal balance and Stated Principal Balance. Amounts due on the predecessor Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) including any portion of it payable or reimbursable to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator or the trustee, as applicable, will continue to be “due” in respect of the REO Loan. Amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, net of payments to be made, or reimbursement to the master servicer or special servicer for payments previously advanced, in connection with the operation and management of that property, generally will be applied by the master servicer as if received on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan.

 

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, no amounts relating to the related REO Property or REO Loan allocable to any related Companion Loan will be available for amounts due to the Certificateholders or to reimburse the issuing entity, other than in the limited circumstances related to Servicing Advances, indemnification payments, Special Servicing Fees and other reimbursable expenses related to such Serviced Whole Loan incurred with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the PSA or with respect to any Subordinate Companion Loan, as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

 269

 

 

Application Priority of Mortgage Loan Collections or Whole Loan Collections

 

Absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement), all amounts collected by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related borrower, Liquidation Proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds (excluding, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, any amounts payable to the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be deemed to be allocated for purposes of collecting amounts due under the Mortgage Loan, pursuant to the PSA, in the following order of priority:

 

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses of the issuing entity;

 

Second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount);

 

Third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest) to the extent of the excess of (i) unpaid interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

 

Fourth, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause First or Second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of such Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance);

 

Fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest) to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause Fifth on earlier dates);

 

Sixth, as a recovery of amounts to be currently allocated to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items relating to such Mortgage Loan;

Twelfth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance;

 

provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received (or receivable by exercise of the lender’s rights under the related Mortgage Loan documents) with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property (including in connection with a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan exceeds 125%, or would exceed 125% following any partial release (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any) must be required to be collected and allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in the manner required by such REMIC provisions.

 

Collections by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any REO Property (exclusive of the amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of any amounts payable to the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be deemed to be allocated for purposes of collecting amounts due under the Mortgage Loan, pursuant to the PSA, in the following order of priority:

 

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses with respect to the related Mortgage Loan;

 

Second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Aggregate Principal Distribution Amount);

 

Third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest) to the extent of the excess of (i) unpaid interest accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below or clause Fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

 

Fourth, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause First or Second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

 

Fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of default interest) to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent

 

 271

 

 

collections have not been allocated as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause Fifth or clause Fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates);

 

Sixth, as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

 

On each Distribution Date, prepayment premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, if any, collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period will be required to be distributed by the certificate administrator to the holders of each class of Regular Certificates in the following manner: (1) pro rata, among (w) the group of the Class A Certificates and the Class X-A certificates (the “YM Group A”), (x) the group of the Class B, Class C and Class X-B certificates (the “YM Group B”), (y) the Class D Certificates (the “YM Group C”) and (z) the group of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates (the “YM Group RR”, and collectively with the YM Group A, the YM Group B and the YM Group C, the “YM Groups”), and based upon the aggregate of principal distributed to the classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (2) among the classes of certificates in each YM Group, in the following manner: (i) with respect to each YM Group (other than the YM Group C and YM Group RR), (A) the holders of each class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges equal to the sum, for all mortgage loan prepayments, of the product of (a) 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 Principal Balance Certificates in that YM Group representing principal payments in respect of the mortgage loans on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment and such class of Principal Balance Certificates, and (c) the prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected during the related Collection Period and allocated to such YM Group and (B) any prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Collection Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group and (ii) with respect to the YM Group C and YM Group RR, the holders of each class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges equal to the sum, for all mortgage loan prepayments, of the product of (a) 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 Principal Balance Certificates in that YM Group representing principal payments in respect of the mortgage loans on such Distribution Date, and (b) the prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected during the related Collection Period and allocated to such YM Group. If there is more than one such class of certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges relating to the mortgage loans are distributable, the aggregate amount of such prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will 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.

 

Yield Maintenance Charge” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any premium, fee or other additional amount paid or payable, as the context requires, by a borrower in connection with a principal prepayment on, or other early collection of principal of, a Mortgage Loan, calculated, in whole or in part, pursuant to a yield maintenance formula or otherwise pursuant to a formula that reflects the lost interest,

 

 272

 

 

including any specified amount or specified percentage of the amount prepaid which constitutes the minimum amount that such Yield Maintenance Charge may be.

 

The “Base Interest Fraction” with respect to any principal prepayment on any Mortgage Loan and with respect to any Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates is a fraction (A) whose numerator is the greater of zero and the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such class of certificates, and (ii) the Discount Rate used in calculating the Yield Maintenance Charge with respect to such principal prepayment and (B) whose denominator is the greater of zero and the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, the Mortgage Rate of such Serviced Whole Loan) and (ii) the Discount Rate used in calculating the Yield Maintenance Charge with respect to such principal prepayment; provided, however, that (1) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than one or less than zero, (2) if such Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loans, as applicable, and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such class of certificates, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero, and (3) if the Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loans, as applicable, and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such class of certificates, then the Base Interest Fraction will be one.

 

The term “Discount Rate” as used in the preceding paragraph will be as set forth in the related loan documents but will generally mean the yield on a U.S. Treasury security that has the most closely corresponding maturity date to the maturity date, open prepayment date or the remaining weighted average life, of the related mortgage loan plus, in certain circumstances, an additional specified percentage and converted to a monthly equivalent yield (as described in the respective loan documents).

 

No Yield Maintenance Charges or prepayment premiums will be distributed to the holders of the Class R certificates.

 

For a description of Yield Maintenance Charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments”.

 

Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date

 

The “Assumed Final Distribution Date” with respect to any class of certificates is the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of that class of certificates would be reduced to zero based on the assumptions set forth below. The Assumed Final Distribution Date with respect to each class of Offered Certificates will in each case be as follows:

 

Class Designation 

 

Assumed Final
Distribution Date 

Class A-1      June 2022
Class A-2      July 2022
Class A-3      July 2024
Class A-4      June 2027
Class A-5      July 2027
Class A-SB      March 2027
Class X-A      July 2027
Class X-B      July 2027
Class A-S      July 2027
Class B     July 2027
Class C      July 2027

 

The Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated without regard to any delays in the collection of balloon payments and without regard to delinquencies, defaults or liquidations. Accordingly, in the event of defaults on the Mortgage Loans, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be later, and could be substantially later, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s).

 

 273

 

 

In addition, the Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated on the basis of a 0% CPR prepayment rate and the Modeling Assumptions. Since the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the Mortgage Loans may exceed the scheduled rate of payments, and could exceed the scheduled rate by a substantial amount, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be earlier, and could be substantially earlier, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s). The rate of payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans will depend on the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, as well as on the prevailing level of interest rates and other economic factors, and we cannot assure you as to actual payment experience.

 

The “Rated Final Distribution Date” for each class of Offered Certificates will be the Distribution Date in September 2050. See “Ratings”.

 

Prepayment Interest Shortfalls

 

If a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in whole or in part, after the due date but on or before the Determination Date in any calendar month, the amount of interest (net of related Servicing Fees) accrued on such prepayment from such due date to, but not including, the date of prepayment (or any later date through which interest accrues) will, to the extent actually collected (without regard to any prepayment premium or Yield Maintenance Charge actually collected) constitute a “Prepayment Interest Excess”. Conversely, if a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in whole or in part after the Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, with a due date occurring after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date) in any calendar month and does not pay interest on such prepayment through the following Due Date, then the shortfall in a full month’s interest (net of related Servicing Fees) on such prepayment will constitute a “Prepayment Interest Shortfall”. Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments) collected on the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan, will be retained by the master servicer as additional servicing compensation.

 

The master servicer will be required to deliver to the certificate administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment described below that is allocable to a Serviced Companion Loan) on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement thereafter, a cash payment (a “Compensating Interest Payment”) in an amount equal to the lesser of:

 

(i)        the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary principal prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (in each case other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan on which the special servicer allowed a prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) for the related Distribution Date, and

 

(ii)       the aggregate of (A) that portion of the master servicer’s Servicing Fees for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Loan for which such Servicing Fees are being paid in such Collection Period, calculated at a rate of 0.0025% per annum, (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the master servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and, so long as a Whole Loan is serviced under the PSA, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) subject to such prepayment and (C) to the extent earned on principal prepayments, net investment earnings payable to the master servicer for such Collection Period received by the master servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, subject to such prepayment. In no event will the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls be cumulative.

 

If a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to a Mortgage Loan as a result of the master servicer allowing the related borrower to deviate (a “Prohibited Prepayment”) from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents regarding principal prepayments (other than (v) any Non-Serviced Mortgage

 

 274

 

 

Loan, (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents or if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order or otherwise in such circumstances where the master servicer is required to accept such principal prepayment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (y) at the request or with the consent of the special servicer or, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing, and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder or (z) in connection with the payment of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards), then for purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date, the master servicer will pay, without regard to clause (ii) above, the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to such Mortgage Loan otherwise described in clause (i) above in connection with such Prohibited Prepayments.

 

Compensating Interest Payments with respect to the Serviced Whole Loans will be allocated among the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) in accordance with their respective principal amounts, and the master servicer will be required to pay the portion of such Compensating Interest Payments allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) to the master servicer under the related other pooling and servicing agreement.

 

The aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls resulting from any principal prepayments made on the Mortgage Loans to be included in the Available Funds for any Distribution Date that are not covered by the master servicer’s Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date and the portion of the compensating interest payments allocable to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent received from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls that are not so covered, as to the related Distribution Date, the “Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall”) will be allocated on that Distribution Date among each class of Regular Certificates, pro rata in accordance with their respective Interest Accrual Amounts for that Distribution Date.

 

Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses

 

The rights of holders of the Subordinate Certificates to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on the Mortgage Loans will be subordinated, to the extent described in this prospectus, to the rights of holders of the Senior Certificates.

 

In particular, the rights of the holders of the Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates to receive distributions of interest and principal, as applicable, will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the Senior Certificates. The Class A-S certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates. The Class B certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates. The Class C certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates.

 

This subordination will be effected in two ways: (i) by the preferential right of the holders of a class of certificates to receive on any Distribution Date the amounts of interest and/or principal distributable to them prior to any distribution being made on such Distribution Date in respect of any classes of certificates subordinate to that class (as described above under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”) and (ii) by the allocation of Realized Losses to classes of certificates that are subordinate to more senior classes, as described below.

 

No other form of credit support will be available for the benefit of the Offered Certificates.

 

Prior to the Cross-Over Date, allocation of principal on any Distribution Date will be made first, to the Class A-SB certificates until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance for the related Distribution Date, second, to the Class A-1 certificates until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class A-2 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class A-3 certificates until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class A-4 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class A-5 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero and seventh, to the Class A-SB certificates until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. On or after the Cross-Over Date,

 

 275

 

 

allocation of principal will be made to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates that are still outstanding, pro rata, without regard to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance, until their Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero. See “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

 

Allocation to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, for so long as they are outstanding, of the entire Principal Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date will have the effect of reducing the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates at a proportionately faster rate than the rate at which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans will decline. Therefore, as principal is distributed to the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates will be decreased (with a corresponding increase in the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Subordinate Certificates), thereby increasing, relative to their respective Certificate Balances, the subordination afforded to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates by the Subordinate Certificates.

 

Following retirement of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB certificates, the successive allocation on each Distribution Date of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-S certificates, the Class B certificates, the Class C certificates, the Class D certificates, the Class E-RR certificates, the Class F-RR certificates, the Class G-RR certificates and the Class NR-RR certificates, in that order, for so long as they are outstanding, will provide a similar, but diminishing benefit to those certificates (other than to Class NR-RR certificates) as to the relative amount of subordination afforded by the outstanding classes of certificates with later sequential designations.

 

On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made to the Certificateholders on that date, the certificate administrator is required to calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance will not be reduced by the amount of principal payments received on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee from general collections of principal on the Mortgage Loans for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent those amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans, including any REO Loans (but in each case, excluding any Companion Loan) as of the related Determination Date is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on that Distribution Date (any such deficit, a “Realized Loss”). The certificate administrator will be required to allocate any Realized Losses among the respective classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero:

 

first, to the Class NR-RR certificates;

 

second, to the Class G-RR certificates;

 

third, to the Class F-RR certificates;

 

fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates;

 

fifth, to the Class D certificates;

 

sixth, to the Class C certificates;

 

seventh, to the Class B certificates; and

 

eighth, to the Class A-S certificates.

 

Following the reduction of the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates to zero, the certificate administrator will be required to allocate Realized Losses among the Senior Certificates (other

 

 276

 

 

 

than the Class X Certificates), pro rata based upon their respective Certificate Balances, until their respective Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero.

 

Realized Losses will not be allocated to the Class R certificates and will not be directly allocated to the Class X Certificates. However, the Notional Amounts of the classes of Class X Certificates will be reduced if the related classes of Principal Balance Certificates are reduced by such Realized Losses.

 

In general, Realized Losses could result from the occurrence of: (1) losses and other shortfalls on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, including as a result of defaults and delinquencies on the related Mortgage Loans, Nonrecoverable Advances made in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the payment to the special servicer of any compensation as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, and the payment of interest on Advances and certain servicing expenses; and (2) certain unanticipated, non-Mortgage Loan specific expenses of the issuing entity, including certain reimbursements to the certificate administrator or trustee as described under “Transaction Parties—The Trustee” or “—The Certificate Administrator”, and certain federal, state and local taxes, and certain tax-related expenses, payable out of the issuing entity, as described under “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

 

Losses on each Whole Loan will be allocated, pro rata, between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), based upon their respective principal balances. With respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan, Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan, the 211 Main Street Whole Loan and the West Town Mall Whole Loan, losses will be allocated first to each related Subordinate Companion Loan until each such Subordinate Companion Loan is reduced to zero and then to the related Mortgage Loan and any related Pari Passu Companion Loans, pro rata, based upon their respective principal balances.

 

A class of Regular Certificates will be considered outstanding until its Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as the case may be, is reduced to zero. However, notwithstanding a reduction of its Certificate Balance to zero, reimbursements of any previously allocated Realized Losses are required thereafter to be made to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

 

Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information

 

Certificate Administrator Reports

 

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator will be required to prepare and make available to each Certificateholder of record on the certificate administrator’s website a Distribution Date Statement based in part on the information delivered to it by the master servicer or special servicer, providing the information required under Regulation AB and in the form of Annex B relating to distributions made on that date for the relevant class and the recent status of the Mortgage Loans.

 

In addition, the certificate administrator will include (to the extent it receives such information) (i) the identity of any Mortgage Loans permitting additional debt, identifying (A) the amount of any additional debt incurred during the related Collection Period, (B) the total debt service coverage ratio calculated on the basis of the mortgage loan and such additional debt and (C) the aggregate loan-to-value ratio calculated on the basis of the mortgage loan and the additional debt in each applicable Form 10-D filed on behalf of the issuing entity and (ii) the beginning and ending account balances for each of the Securitization Accounts (for the applicable period) in each Form 10-D filed on behalf of the issuing entity.

 

Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the certificate administrator is required to furnish to each person or entity who at any time during the calendar year was a holder of a certificate, a statement containing information as to (i) the amount of the distribution on each Distribution Date in reduction of the Certificate Balance of the certificates, and (ii) the amount of the distribution on each Distribution Date of the applicable Interest Accrual Amount, in each case, as to the applicable class, aggregated for the related calendar year or applicable partial year during which that person was a Certificateholder, together with any other information that the certificate administrator deems necessary or desirable, or that a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders

 

 277

 

 

to prepare their tax returns for that calendar year. This obligation of the certificate administrator will be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information will be provided by the certificate administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.

 

In addition, the certificate administrator will make available on its website (www.ctslink.com), to the extent received from the applicable person, on each Distribution Date to each Privileged Person the following reports (other than clause (1) below, the “CREFC® Reports”) prepared by the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the special servicer, as applicable, substantially in the form provided in the PSA, in the case of the Distribution Date Statement (which form is subject to change), and as required under the PSA, in the case of the CREFC® Reports, and including substantially the following information:

(14)     a CREFC® loan setup file (to the extent delivery is required under the PSA); and

 

(15)     a CREFC® loan periodic update file.

 

The master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, may omit any information from these reports that the master servicer or the special servicer regards as confidential. Subject to any potential liability for willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”, none of the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator will be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by a borrower, a mortgage loan seller or another party to the PSA or a party under a Non-Serviced PSA that is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by it.

However, the master servicer will be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing copies of these reports or information (which such amounts in any event are not reimbursable as additional trust fund expenses), except that, other than for extraordinary or duplicate requests, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to reports and information free of charge. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, until the time definitive certificates are issued, notices and statements required to be mailed to holders of certificates will be available to Certificate Owners of certificates only to the extent they are forwarded by or otherwise available through DTC and its Participants. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Participants, and by Participants to Certificate Owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the depositor are required to recognize as Certificateholders only those persons in whose

No holder of an Offered Certificate will be entitled to receive a certificate issued in fully registered, certificated form (each, a “Definitive Certificate”) representing its interest in such class, except under the limited circumstances described under “―Definitive Certificates” below. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued, all references to actions by holders of the Offered Certificates will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions received from holders of Offered Certificates through its participating organizations (together with Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) participating organizations, the “Participants”), and all references in this prospectus to payments, notices, reports, statements and other information to holders of Offered Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the Offered Certificates, for distribution to holders of Offered Certificates through its Participants in accordance with DTC procedures; provided, however, that to the extent that the party to the PSA responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information has been provided in writing with the name of the Certificate Owner of such an Offered Certificate (or the prospective transferee of such Certificate Owner), such report, statement or other information will be provided to such Certificate Owner (or prospective transferee).

Holders of Offered Certificates may hold their certificates through DTC (in the United States) or Clearstream or Euroclear (in Europe) if they are Participants of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of the Clearstream Participants and the Euroclear Participants, respectively, through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries (collectively, the “Depositaries”), which in turn will hold such positions in customers’ securities accounts in the Depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its Participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic computerized book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants (“DTC Participants”) include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).

 

Transfers between DTC Participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers between Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants will occur in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.

 

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its Depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its Depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the Depositaries.

 

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date, and such credits or any transactions in such securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

 

The holders of Offered Certificates that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, such Offered Certificates may do so only through Participants and Indirect Participants. In addition, holders of Offered Certificates in global form (“Certificate Owners”) will receive all distributions of principal and interest through the Participants who in turn will receive them from DTC. Under a book-entry format, holders of such Offered Certificates may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, since such payments will be forwarded by the certificate administrator to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward such payments to its Participants, which thereafter will forward them to Indirect Participants or the applicable Certificate Owners. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the trustee, the certificate administrator, the certificate registrar, the operating advisor, the special servicer or the master servicer as holders of record of certificates and Certificate Owners will be permitted to receive information furnished to Certificateholders and to exercise the rights of Certificateholders only indirectly through DTC and its Participants and Indirect Participants, except that Certificate Owners will be entitled to receive or have access to notices and information and to exercise certain rights as holders of beneficial interests in the certificates through the

 

 288

 

 

certificate administrator and the trustee to the extent described in “—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”, “—Certificateholder Communication” and “—List of Certificateholders” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, “—The Asset Representations Reviewer”, “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”, “—Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding”, “—Termination; Retirement of Certificates” and “—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator”.

 

Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations (the “DTC Rules”), DTC is required to make book-entry transfers of Offered Certificates in global form among Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to such Offered Certificates and to receive and transmit distributions of principal of, and interest on, such Offered Certificates. Participants and Indirect Participants with which the Certificate Owners have accounts with respect to the Offered Certificates similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit such payments on behalf of their respective Certificate Owners. Accordingly, although the Certificate Owners will not possess the Offered Certificates, the DTC Rules provide a mechanism by which Certificate Owners will receive payments on Offered Certificates and will be able to transfer their interest.

 

Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a holder of Offered Certificates in global form to pledge such Offered Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or to otherwise act with respect to such Offered Certificates, may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Offered Certificates.

 

DTC has advised the depositor that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of an Offered Certificate under the PSA only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose accounts with DTC such certificate is credited. DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of Participants whose holdings include such undivided interests.

 

Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and is a global securities settlement clearing house. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Transactions may be settled in Clearstream in numerous currencies, including United States dollars. Clearstream provides to its Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Clearstream is regulated as a bank by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.

 

Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of the Euroclear system (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Transactions may now be settled in any of numerous currencies, including United States dollars. The Euroclear system includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC described above. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to the Euroclear system is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

 

 289

 

 

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related operating procedures of the Euroclear System and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear system, withdrawal of securities and cash from the Euroclear system, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in the Euroclear system. All securities in the Euroclear system are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

 

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have implemented the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in book-entry securities among Participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to comply with such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the underwriters will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

 

Definitive Certificates

 

Owners of beneficial interests in book-entry certificates of any class will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates unless: (i) DTC advises the certificate registrar in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the book-entry certificates of such class or ceases to be a clearing agency, and the certificate administrator and the depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders of such class and the trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the trustee to obtain possession of the certificates of such class.

 

Certificateholder Communication

 

Access to Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has delivered an executed Investor Certification to the certificate administrator (a “Certifying Certificateholder”), the certificate administrator (in its capacity as certificate registrar) will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such requesting party a list of the names and addresses of the certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date as they appear in the certificate register, at the expense of the requesting party.

 

Requests to Communicate

 

The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include on any Form 10–D any request received prior to the Distribution Date to which such Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of the PSA. Any Form 10-D containing such disclosure regarding the request to communicate is required to include the following and no more than the following: (i) the name of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner making the request, (ii) the date the request was received, (iii) a statement to the effect that the certificate administrator has received such request, stating that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the PSA, and (iv) a description of the method other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners may use to contact the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner.

 

Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishing to communicate with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners regarding the exercise of its rights under the terms of the PSA (such party, a

The certificate administrator will not be permitted to require any information other than the foregoing in verifying a certificateholder’s or certificate owner’s identity in connection with a Communication Request. Requesting Investors will be responsible for their own expenses in making any Communication Request, but will not be required to bear any expenses of the certificate administrator.

 

List of Certificateholders

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, which is required to include a copy of the communication the Certificateholder proposes to transmit, that has provided an Investor Certification, which request is made for purposes of communicating with other holders of certificates of the same series with respect to their rights under the PSA or the certificates, the certificate registrar or other specified person will, within 10 business days after receipt of such request afford such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders related to the class of certificates.

It is not required to include any of the same items identified above again if such items have already been included under another clause of the definition of “Diligence File”, and the Diligence File will be required to include a statement to that effect. The mortgage loan seller may, without any obligation to do so, include such other documents or information as part of the Diligence File that such mortgage loan seller believes should be included to enable the asset representations reviewer to perform the Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents or information are clearly labeled and identified.

 

Each MLPA will contain certain representations and warranties of the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold by that mortgage loan seller. Those representations and warranties are set forth in Annex D-1, and will be made as of the Closing Date, or as of another date specifically provided in the representation and warranty, subject to certain exceptions to such representations and warranties as set forth in Annex D-2.

 

If any of the documents required to be included in the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan is missing from the Mortgage File or defective or if there is a breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan, and, in either case, such omission, defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of any Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or causes the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage (a “Material Defect”), the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) will be required to, no later than 90 days following the earlier of:

 

(x)     such mortgage loan seller’s discovery of any Material Defect;

 

(y)     such mortgage loan seller’s receipt of notice of any Material Defect from any party to the PSA; or

 

(z)     in the case of any Material Defect that would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified

 

 295

 

 

mortgage, the earlier of (A) the discovery of any Material Defect by any party to the PSA or (B) receipt of a notice of any Material Defect by the applicable mortgage loan seller,

 

(1)     cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at its own expense,

 

(2)     repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan at the Purchase Price, or

 

(3)     substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or such REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date), and pay a shortfall amount in connection with such substitution;

 

provided that no such substitution may occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, further, however, that the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) will generally have an additional 90-day period to cure such Material Defect (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the related Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted), if it is diligently proceeding toward that cure, and has delivered to the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator (who will promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, an officer’s certificate that describes the reasons that a cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no such 90-day extension, if such Material Defect would cause the related Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

 

No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the applicable mortgage loan seller of its obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the PSA to promptly provide a notice of such Material Defect as required by the terms of the PSA after such party has actual knowledge of such defect or breach (knowledge will not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay precludes the mortgage loan seller from curing such Material Defect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self-storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan will not be a Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the applicable mortgage loan seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

 296

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of a mortgage loan seller repurchasing, substituting or curing such Material Defect, to the extent that the mortgage loan seller and the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) (with respect to the special servicer, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan or a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, but in all cases only prior to a Control Termination Event) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the mortgage loan seller to the issuing entity that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such Material Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the mortgage loan seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment. The special servicer will determine the amount of any applicable Loss of Value Payment (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of any PSA Party Repurchase Request with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, will communicate such amount to the master servicer for its enforcement action with the applicable mortgage loan seller. In connection with any such determination with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will promptly provide the special servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner provided in the PSA, with the servicing file and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the master servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the master servicer, and reasonably requested by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA in order to permit the special servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment as set forth in the PSA. Upon its making such payment, the mortgage loan seller will be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. A Loss of Value Payment may not be made with respect to any such Material Defect that would cause the applicable Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

 

In addition, the MLPA provides that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if a material document defect exists under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and the related seller repurchases the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s) from the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust, such seller is required to repurchase the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that no such repurchase obligation will apply to any material document defect related solely to the promissory notes for any Pari Passu Companion Loan contained in the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust.

 

With respect to the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan, each of JPMCB and SMF VI will be responsible for any remedies solely in respect of the note sold by it as if each note evidencing the Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan was a separate Mortgage Loan.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the “Purchase Price” equals the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan(s), if applicable)), as of the date of purchase, (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan(s), if applicable)) at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time, to, but not including, the due date immediately preceding or coinciding with the Determination Date for the Collection Period of purchase, (3) all related unreimbursed Servicing Advances plus accrued and unpaid interest on all related Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, Special Servicing Fees (whether paid or unpaid) and any other additional trust fund expenses (except for Liquidation Fees) in respect of such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purposes, any Companion Loan), (4) solely in the case of a repurchase or substitution by a mortgage loan seller, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred or to be incurred by the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, asset representations reviewer or the trustee in respect of the omission, breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase or substitution obligation, including any Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee to the extent not previously paid by the related mortgage loan seller and any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase or substitution obligation, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and any additional trust fund expenses relating to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses will not include expenses incurred by investors in instituting an Asset Review Vote Election, in taking part in an Asset Review Vote or in utilizing the dispute resolution provisions

 

 297

 

 

described below under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, and (5) Liquidation Fees, if any, payable with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (which will not include any Liquidation Fees if such affected Mortgage Loan is repurchased prior to the expiration of the additional 90-day period immediately following the initial 90-day period).

 

A “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” is a substitute mortgage loan (other than with respect to the Whole Loans, for which no substitution will be permitted) replacing a Mortgage Loan with respect to which a material breach or document defect exists that must, on the date of substitution:

 

(a)   have an outstanding principal balance, after application of all scheduled payments of principal and interest due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not received, not in excess of the Stated Principal Balance of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the due date in the calendar month during which the substitution occurs;

 

(b)   have a Mortgage Rate not less than the Mortgage Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (determined without regard to any prior modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the removed Mortgage Loan);

 

(c)   have the same due date and a grace period no longer than that of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(d)   accrue interest on the same basis as the removed Mortgage Loan (for example, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months);

 

(e)   have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than two years less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(f)    have a then-current loan-to-value ratio equal to or less than the lesser of (i) the loan-to-value ratio for the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 75%, in each case using a “value” for the Mortgaged Property as determined using an appraisal conducted by a member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the FIRREA;

 

(g)   comply as of the date of substitution in all material respects with all of the representations and warranties set forth in the related MLPA;

 

(h)   have an environmental report that indicates no material adverse environmental conditions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and that will be delivered as a part of the related Mortgage File;

 

(i)    have a then-current debt service coverage ratio at least equal to the greater of (i) the original debt service coverage ratio of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 1.25x;

 

(j)    constitute a “qualified replacement mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(4) as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (provided at the applicable mortgage loan seller’s expense);

 

(k)   not have a maturity date or an amortization period that extends to a date that is after the date two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date;

 

(l)    have comparable prepayment restrictions to those of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(m)  not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan unless the trustee and the certificate administrator have received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (the cost, if any, of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be paid by the applicable mortgage loan seller);

 

(n)   have been approved, so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and the affected Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, by the Directing Certificateholder;

 

(o)   prohibit defeasance within two years of the Closing Date;

 

 298

 

  

(p)   not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan if it would result in the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be imposed by the terms of the PSA, as determined by an opinion of counsel;

 

(q)   have an engineering report that indicates no material adverse property condition or deferred maintenance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that will be delivered as a part of the related servicing file; and

 

(r)    be current in the payment of all scheduled payments of principal and interest then due.

 

In the event that more than one Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, then (x) the amounts described in clause (a) are required to be determined on the basis of aggregate principal balances and (y) each such proposed Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan must individually satisfy each of the requirements specified in clauses (b) through (r) of the preceding sentence, except (z) the rates described in clause (b) above and the remaining term to stated maturity referred to in clause (e) above are required to be determined on a weighted average basis, provided that no individual Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate, the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate) may be lower than the highest fixed Pass-Through Rate (not based on or subject to a cap equal to or based on the WAC Rate) of any class of Principal Balance Certificates having a principal balance then-outstanding. When a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will be required to certify that the Mortgage Loan meets all of the requirements of the above definition and send the certification to the trustee the certificate administrator and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder.

 

The foregoing repurchase or substitution obligation or the obligation to pay the Loss of Value Payment will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the trustee under the PSA for any uncured breach of any mortgage loan seller’s representations and warranties regarding the Mortgage Loans or any uncured document defect; provided, however, that if any breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related borrower to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) may cure such breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the issuing entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by parties to the PSA or the issuing entity that are incurred as a result of such breach and have not been reimbursed by the related borrower and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the asset representations reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) will have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. The applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) will remit the amount of these costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the applicable mortgage loan seller will be deemed to have cured the breach in all respects. The applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively) will be the sole warranting party in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold by that mortgage loan seller to the depositor, and none of its affiliates (other than the respective guarantor) and no other person will be obligated to repurchase or replace any affected Mortgage Loan or make a Loss of Value Payment in

 

 299

 

 

connection with a breach of any representation and warranty or in connection with a document defect if the applicable mortgage loan seller defaults on its obligation to do so.

 

Dispute Resolution Provisions

 

The mortgage loan seller will be subject to the dispute resolution provisions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Dispute Resolution Provisions” to the extent those provisions are triggered with respect to any mortgage loan sold to the depositor by the mortgage loan seller and will be obligated under the related MLPA to comply with all applicable provisions and to take part in any mediation or arbitration proceedings that may result.

 

Asset Review Obligations

 

The mortgage loan seller will be obligated to perform its obligations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” relating to any Asset Reviews performed by the asset representations reviewer, and the mortgage loan seller will have the rights described under that heading.

 

Pooling and Servicing Agreement

 

General

 

The servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), any related Serviced Companion Loans and any related REO Properties (including any interest of the holder of any Companion Loan in the REO Property acquired with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan) will be governed by the PSA and any related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s) and any related REO Properties (including the issuing entity’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan) will be serviced by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated and except where the context otherwise indicates (such as with respect to P&I Advances), discussions in this section or in any other section of this prospectus regarding the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans should be deemed to include the servicing and administration of the related Serviced Companion Loans but do not include any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan and any related REO Property.

 

The following summaries describe certain provisions of the PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the related Companion Loans and any related REO Properties. In the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, certain provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”.

 

Certain provisions of each Non-Serviced PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s) and the related REO Properties and the related Intercreditor Agreement are summarized under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

As to particular servicing matters, the discussion under this heading “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” is applicable with respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan only while the PSA governs the servicing of the Servicing Shift Whole Loan. As described in “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—The Servicing of Servicing Shift Whole Loans Will Shift to Other Servicers”, on or after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Servicing Shift PSA, and the provisions of the Servicing Shift PSA may be different than the terms of the PSA, although the Servicing Shift Whole Loan will still need to be serviced in compliance with the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement, as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

 300

 

  

The PSA does not include an obligation for any party of the PSA to advise a Certificateholder with respect to its rights and protections relative to the trust.

 

Assignment of the Mortgage Loans

 

The depositor will purchase the Mortgage Loans to be included in the issuing entity on or before the Closing Date from each of the mortgage loan sellers pursuant to separate MLPAs. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers” and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

On the Closing Date, the depositor will sell, transfer or otherwise convey, assign or cause the assignment of the Mortgage Loans, without recourse, together with the depositor’s rights and remedies against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs, the intercreditor agreements and all other assets to be included in the trust, to the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. On or prior to the Closing Date, the depositor will require each mortgage loan seller to deliver to the certificate administrator, in its capacity as custodian, the Mortgage Notes and certain other documents and instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. The custodian will hold such documents in the name of the issuing entity for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. The custodian is obligated to review certain documents for each Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the Closing Date and report any missing documents or certain types of document defects to the parties to the PSA and the Directing Certificateholder (so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred) and the related mortgage loan seller.

 

In addition, pursuant to the related MLPA, each mortgage loan seller will be required to deliver the Diligence Files for each of its Mortgage Loans to the depositor by uploading such Diligence Files to the designated Intralinks website within 60 days following the Closing Date, and the depositor will deliver to the certificate administrator an electronic copy of such Diligence Files to be posted to the secure data room.

 

Pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will assign to the trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders the representations and warranties made by the mortgage loan sellers to the depositor in the MLPAs and any rights and remedies that the depositor has against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs with respect to any Material Defect. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

Servicing Standard

 

The master servicer and the special servicer will each be required to diligently service and administer the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loans and the related REO Properties (other than any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), for which it is responsible in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the PSA, the Mortgage Loan documents, and the related Intercreditor Agreements and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party portfolios, and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, with a view to: (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans or (B) in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans, and the best interests of the issuing entity and the certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the issuing entity, the Certificateholders and the holder(s) of any related Companion Loan(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan(s) constituted a single lender), taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of the related Companion Loan(s)), as applicable, as determined by the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent, institutional commercial,

 

 301

 

  

multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from:

 

(A)  any relationship that the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates, as the case may be, may have with any of the underlying borrowers, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, any party to the PSA or any affiliate of the foregoing;

 

(B)  the ownership of any certificate (or any interest in any Companion Loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt relating to a Mortgage Loan) by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates;

 

(C)  the obligation, if any, of the master servicer to make Advances;

 

(D)  the right of the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates to receive compensation or reimbursement of costs under the PSA generally or with respect to any particular transaction;

 

(E)  the ownership, servicing or management for others of (i) any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (ii) any other mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by the PSA or held by the issuing entity by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates;

 

(F)  any debt that the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, has extended to any underlying borrower or an affiliate of any borrower (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing);

 

(G)  any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan(s) the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, may have; and

 

(H)  any obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, or one of their respective affiliates, to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a mortgage loan seller (if the master servicer or the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates is a mortgage loan seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

 

All net present value calculations and determinations made under the PSA with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Servicing Standard” set forth above) will be made in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents or, in the event the Mortgage Loan documents are silent, by using a discount rate (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan(s) or sale by the special servicer of a Defaulted Loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the related borrower on similar non-defaulted debt of such borrower as of such date of determination, (2) the Mortgage Rate and (3) the yield on 10-year U.S. treasuries as of such date of determination and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent appraisal (or updated appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

In the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the master servicer and the special servicer will be required to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to their respective obligations under the PSA.

 

Subservicing

 

The master servicer and the special servicer may delegate and/or assign some or all of their respective servicing obligations and duties with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Serviced Companion Loans to one or more third-party sub-servicers provided that the master servicer and the special servicer, as applicable, will remain obligated under the PSA. A sub-servicer may be an affiliate of the depositor, the master servicer or the special servicer.

 

 302

 

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer may not enter into any sub-servicing agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations under the PSA without, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the special servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

 

Each sub-servicing agreement between the master servicer or special servicer and a sub-servicer (a “Sub-Servicing Agreement”) will generally be required to provide that (i) if for any reason the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is no longer acting in that capacity (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the trustee or any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, may, except with respect to certain initial Sub-Servicing Agreements, assume or terminate such party’s rights and obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) the sub-servicer will be in default under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement will be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if, among other things, the sub-servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the master servicer pursuant to the PSA or such Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required in order for any party to the PSA to perform its obligations under the PSA or under the Exchange Act reporting requirements of any other pooling and servicing agreement that the depositor is a party to. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to monitor the performance of sub-servicers retained by it and will have the right to remove a sub-servicer retained by it (other than any sub-servicer retained by it at the request of a mortgage loan seller, which is only removable for cause) at any time it considers removal to be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. However, no sub-servicer will be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable.

 

Generally, the master servicer will be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any sub-servicer retained by the master servicer, without regard to whether the master servicer’s compensation pursuant to the PSA is sufficient to pay those fees. Each sub-servicer will be required to be reimbursed by the master servicer for certain expenditures which such sub-servicer makes, generally to the same extent the master servicer would be reimbursed under the PSA.

 

Advances

 

P&I Advances

 

On the business day immediately preceding each Distribution Date (the “Master Servicer Remittance Date”), except as otherwise described below, the master servicer will be obligated, unless determined to be nonrecoverable as described below, to make advances (each, a “P&I Advance”) out of its own funds or, subject to the replacement of those funds as provided in the PSA, certain funds held in the Collection Account that are not required to be part of the Available Funds for that Distribution Date, in an amount equal to (but subject to reduction as described below) the aggregate of:

 

(1)     all Periodic Payments (other than balloon payments) (net of any applicable Servicing Fees) that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and not received as of the business day preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date; and

 

(2)     in the case of each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its balloon payment as of the Master Servicer Remittance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the balloon payment would have been past due), an amount equal to its Assumed Scheduled Payment.

 

The master servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances in respect of any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of a REO Loan related to a

 

 303

 

  

Companion Loan) will continue, except if a determination as to non-recoverability is made, through and up to liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be. However, no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance made with respect to a Mortgage Loan unless the related Periodic Payment is received after the related Due Date has passed or if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it is required to make under the PSA, the trustee will be required to make the required P&I Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

If an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of the Non-Serviced Whole Loans, an appraisal reduction has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the master servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) and such Mortgage Loan experiences subsequent delinquencies, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance in respect of that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date will be reduced (there will be no reduction in the principal portion, if any, of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of the P&I Advance for that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date without regard to this sentence, and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.

 

Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to make a P&I Advance for a balloon payment, default interest, late payment charges, Yield Maintenance Charges, prepayment premiums or with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

Servicing Advances

 

In addition to P&I Advances, except as otherwise described under “—Recovery of Advances” below and except in certain limited circumstances described below, the master servicer will also be obligated (subject to the limitations described in this prospectus), to make advances (“Servicing Advances” and, collectively with P&I Advances, “Advances”) in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, as applicable, in respect of which a default, delinquency or other unanticipated event has occurred or is reasonably foreseeable, or, in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgaged Property or REO Property, in order to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and to cover other similar costs and expenses necessary to preserve the priority of or enforce the related Mortgage Loan documents or to protect, lease, manage and maintain the related Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance that it is required to make under the PSA and the trustee has received notice or otherwise has actual knowledge of this failure, the trustee will be required to make the required Servicing Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

However, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will make any Servicing Advance in connection with the exercise of any cure rights or purchase rights granted to the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the PSA.

 

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances. However, in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the special servicer may make such Servicing Advance, and the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for such Advance (with interest on that Advance) within a specified number of days as set forth in the PSA, unless such Advance is determined to be nonrecoverable by the master servicer in its reasonable judgment (in which case it will be reimbursed out of the collection account). Once the special servicer is reimbursed, the master servicer will be deemed to have made the special servicer’s Servicing Advance as of the date made by the special servicer, and will be entitled to reimbursement with interest on that Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

No Servicing Advances will be made with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan if the related Mortgage Loan is no longer held by the issuing entity or if such Serviced Whole Loan is no longer serviced under the

 

 304

 

  

PSA and no Servicing Advances will be made for the Non-Serviced Whole Loans under the PSA. Any requirement of the master servicer or the trustee to make an Advance in the PSA is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such person the risk of loss with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans or the related Companion Loan.

 

The master servicer will also be obligated to make Servicing Advances with respect to Serviced Whole Loans. With respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the applicable servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA will be obligated to make property protection advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loans. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

Nonrecoverable Advances

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make any Advance that it determines in its reasonable judgment would, if made, not be recoverable (including recovery of interest on the Advance) out of Related Proceeds (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”). In addition, the special servicer may, at its option (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, in consultation with, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder) make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if it makes such a determination, must deliver to the master servicer (and, with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, to any master servicer or special servicer under any pooling and servicing agreement governing any securitization trust into which a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is deposited, and, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination, which determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but will not be binding upon, the master servicer and the trustee. The special servicer will have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is, or would be, recoverable, and in the absence of a determination by the special servicer that such an Advance is nonrecoverable, each such decision will remain with the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable. If the special servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is nonrecoverable, the master servicer and the trustee will have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is nonrecoverable.

 

In making such non-recoverability determination, each person will be entitled to consider (among other things): (a) the obligations of the borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified, (b) the related mortgaged properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such mortgaged properties, (c) estimated future expenses, (d) estimated timing of recoveries, and will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, in light of the fact that Related Proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance and (e) with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, any non-recoverability determination of the other master servicer or other trustee under the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to a principal and interest advance for a Non-Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, any such person may update or change its recoverability determinations (but not reverse any other person’s determination that an Advance is nonrecoverable) at any time and may obtain at the expense of the issuing entity any reasonably required analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any non-recoverability determination described in this paragraph will be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, and may be conclusively relied upon by, but is not binding upon, the master servicer and the trustee. The master servicer and the trustee will be

 

 305

 

  

entitled to rely conclusively on any non-recoverability determination of the special servicer. Nonrecoverable Advances will represent a portion of the losses to be borne by the Certificateholders.

 

With respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans, if any servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination will not be binding on the master servicer and the trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination will not be binding on the related master servicer and related trustee under the related Non-Serviced PSA as such determination relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s) (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise).

 

Recovery of Advances

 

The master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to recover (a) any Servicing Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of a Mortgage Loan (or, consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, a Serviced Whole Loan) as to which such Servicing Advance was made, and (b) any P&I Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of a Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance was made, whether in the form of late payments, insurance and condemnation proceeds, liquidation proceeds or otherwise from the related Mortgage Loan (“Related Proceeds”). Each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance by it that it subsequently determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance out of general collections relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account (first from principal collections and then from any other collections). Amounts payable in respect of each Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement will not be available for distributions on the certificates or for the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances of principal or interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, but will be available, in accordance with the PSA and related Intercreditor Agreement, for the reimbursement of any Servicing Advances with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan. If a Servicing Advance by the master servicer or the special servicer (or trustee, as applicable) on a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance and the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, is unable to recover such amounts from related proceeds or the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (as applicable) will be permitted to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance (including interest thereon) out of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account.

 

If the funds in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans allocable to principal on the Mortgage Loans are insufficient to fully reimburse the party entitled to reimbursement, then such party as an accommodation may elect, on a monthly basis, at its sole option and discretion to defer reimbursement of the portion that exceeds such amount allocable to principal (in which case interest will continue to accrue on the unreimbursed portion of the advance) for a time as required to reimburse the excess portion from principal for a consecutive period up to 12 months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding 6 months will require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and any election to so defer will be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that no such deferral may occur at any time to the extent that amounts otherwise distributable as principal are available for such reimbursement.

 

In connection with a potential election by the master servicer or the trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the master servicer or the trustee will be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if, at any time the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one month

 

 306

 

  

collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider 15 days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, and thereafter will be required to deliver copies of such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider as soon as practical. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give such notice will in no way affect the master servicer’s or the trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement.

 

Each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance that is outstanding at the time that a Mortgage Loan is modified but is not repaid in full by the borrower in connection with such modification but becomes an obligation of the borrower to pay such amounts in the future (such Advance, together with interest on that Advance, a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount”) out of principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the Collection Account.

 

Any amount that constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount may in the future be determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and thereafter will be recoverable as any other Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

In connection with its recovery of any Advance, each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to be paid, out of any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account, interest at the Prime Rate (the “Reimbursement Rate”) accrued on the amount of the Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on P&I Advances that accrues before the related due date has passed. The “Prime Rate” will be the prime rate, for any day, set forth in The Wall Street Journal, New York edition.

 

See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” for reimbursements of servicing advances made in respect of the Non-Serviced Whole Loans under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

Accounts

 

The master servicer is required to establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts and subaccounts (collectively, the “Collection Account”) in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The master servicer is required to deposit in the Collection Account in no event later than the 2nd business day following receipt of available and properly identified funds all payments and collections due after the Cut-off Date and other amounts received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, all proceeds (the “Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds”) received with respect to a Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with the full or partial condemnation of a Mortgaged Property (other than proceeds applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the related borrower in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or, if applicable, a special servicer) and/or the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage) and all other amounts received and retained in connection with the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan that is defaulted and any related defaulted Companion Loans or property acquired by foreclosure or otherwise (the “Liquidation Proceeds”)) together with the net operating income (less reasonable reserves for future expenses) derived from the operation of any REO Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the collections on the Whole Loans will be limited to the portion of such amounts that are payable to the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The master servicer will also be required to establish and maintain a segregated custodial account (the “Companion Distribution Account”) with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account, and, within two business days following the master servicer’s receipt of properly identified funds (to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement), deposit amounts collected in respect of each Serviced Whole Loan in the related Companion Distribution Account. The issuing entity will only be entitled to amounts on deposit in a Companion Distribution Account to the extent these funds are not otherwise payable to the holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan or payable or

 

 307

 

 

reimbursable to any party to the PSA. Any amounts in a Companion Distribution Account to which the issuing entity is entitled will be transferred on a monthly basis to the Collection Account.

 

With respect to each Distribution Date, the master servicer will be required to disburse from the Collection Account and remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and any Yield Maintenance Charges or prepayment premiums received as of the related Determination Date. The certificate administrator is required to establish and maintain various accounts, including a “Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account” and a “Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account”, both of which may be sub-accounts of a single account (collectively, the “Distribution Accounts”), in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (which will include all funds that were remitted by the master servicer from the Collection Account, plus, among other things, any P&I Advances less amounts, if any, distributable to the Class R certificates as set forth in the PSA generally) to make distributions of interest and principal from Available Funds to the holders of the Regular Certificates, as described under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.

 

The certificate administrator is also required to establish and maintain an account (the “Interest Reserve Account”) which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring each February and on any Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in any January which occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to deposit amounts remitted by the master servicer or P&I Advances made on the related Mortgage Loans into the Interest Reserve Account during the related interest period, in respect of the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days in a month, assuming a 360-day year (“Actual/360 Basis”) (collectively, the “Actual/360 Loans”), in an amount equal to one day’s interest at the Net Mortgage Rate for each such Actual/360 Loan on its Stated Principal Balance and as of the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Periodic Payment or P&I Advance or other deposit is made in respect of the Mortgage Loans (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring each March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit that amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

The certificate administrator may be required to establish and maintain an account (the “Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account”), which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent that any gains are realized on sales of Mortgaged Properties (or, with respect to any Whole Loan, the portion of such amounts that are payable on the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), such gains will be deposited into the Gain on Sale Reserve Account and will be applied on the applicable Distribution Date as part of Available Funds to all amounts due and payable on the Regular Certificates (including to reimburse for Realized Losses previously allocated to such certificates) and to the extent not so applied, such gains will be held and applied to all amounts due and payable on the Regular Certificates and to offset future Realized Losses, if any (as determined by the special servicer). Any remaining amounts will be distributed on the Class R certificates on the final Distribution Date.

 

Other accounts to be established pursuant to the PSA are one or more segregated custodial accounts (the “REO Account”) for collections from REO Properties. Each REO Account will be maintained by the special servicer in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

The Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Account are collectively referred to as the “Securitization Accounts” (but

 

 308

 

 

with respect to any Whole Loan, only to the extent of the issuing entity’s interest in the Whole Loan). Each of the foregoing accounts will be held at a depository institution or trust company meeting the requirements of the PSA.

 

Amounts on deposit in the foregoing accounts may be invested in certain United States government securities and other investments meeting the requirements of the PSA (“Permitted Investments”). Interest or other income earned on funds in the accounts maintained by the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the special servicer, as applicable, will be payable to such person as additional compensation, and such person will be required to bear any losses resulting from their investment of such funds.

 

Withdrawals from the Collection Account

 

The master servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account (or the applicable subaccount of the Collection Account, exclusive of the Companion Distribution Account that may be a subaccount of the Collection Account) for any of the following purposes, in each case only to the extent permitted under the PSA and with respect to the Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, without duplication (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

 

(i)     to remit on each Master Servicer Remittance Date to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account certain portions of the Available Funds and any prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges attributable to the Mortgage Loans on the related Distribution Date, if any;

 

(ii)    to pay or reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the PSA for Advances made by any of them and interest on Advances (the master servicer’s, special servicer’s or the trustee’s respective right, as applicable, to reimbursement for items described in this clause (ii) being limited as described above under “—Advances”) (provided that with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, such reimbursements are subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement);

 

(iii)    to pay to the master servicer and the special servicer, as compensation, the aggregate unpaid servicing compensation;

 

(iv)    to pay to the operating advisor the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee (but only to the extent actually received from the related borrower) or the Operating Advisor Fee;

 

(v)     to pay to the asset representations reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and any unpaid Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee to the extent payable as a trust fund expense;

 

(vi)    to reimburse the trustee, the special servicer and the master servicer, as applicable, for certain Nonrecoverable Advances or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts;

 

(vii)   to reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer or the trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed expenses reasonably incurred with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased or substituted by such person pursuant to the PSA or otherwise;

 

(viii)  to reimburse the master servicer or the special servicer for any unreimbursed expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the enforcement of the applicable mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the applicable section of the related MLPA;

 

(ix)   to pay for any unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the issuing entity;

 

(x)    to pay the master servicer and the special servicer, as applicable, as additional servicing compensation, (A) interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts relating to the

 

 309

 

  

issuing entity held in the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account (but only to the extent of the net investment earnings during the applicable one month period ending on the related Distribution Date), (B) certain penalty charges and default interest and (C) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and any Serviced Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments;

 

(xi)     to recoup any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error;

 

(xii)    to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any of the above clauses, to reimburse or pay the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the depositor or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, unpaid additional expenses of the issuing entity and certain other unreimbursed expenses incurred by such person pursuant to and to the extent reimbursable under the PSA and to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the issuing entity under the PSA;

 

(xiii)    to pay for the cost of the opinions of counsel or the cost of obtaining any extension to the time in which the issuing entity is permitted to hold REO Property;

 

(xiv)    to pay any applicable federal, state or local taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC, or any of their assets or transactions, together with all incidental costs and expenses, to the extent that none of the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator or the trustee is liable under the PSA;

 

(xv)     to pay the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;

 

(xvi)    to reimburse the certificate administrator out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for legal expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it by the issuing entity of any administrative or judicial proceedings related to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority;

 

(xvii)   to pay the applicable mortgage loan seller or any other person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, previously purchased or replaced by such person pursuant to the PSA, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or replacement relating to periods after the date of purchase or replacement;

 

(xviii)  to remit to the certificate administrator for deposit in the Interest Reserve Account the amounts required to be deposited in the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to the PSA;

 

(xix)   to remit to the companion paying agent for deposit into the Companion Distribution Account the amounts required to be deposited pursuant to the PSA; and

 

(xx)    to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to a plan for termination and liquidation of the issuing entity.

 

No amounts payable or reimbursable to the parties to the PSA out of general collections that do not specifically relate to a Serviced Whole Loan may be reimbursable from amounts that would otherwise be payable to the related Companion Loan(s).

 

Certain costs and expenses (such as a pro rata share of any related Servicing Advances) allocable to the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan may be paid or reimbursed out of payments and other collections on the other Mortgage Loans, subject to the issuing entity’s right to reimbursement from future payments and other collections on the related Companion Loan or from general collections with respect to the securitization of the related Companion Loan. If the master servicer makes, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, any reimbursement or payment out of the Collection Account to cover the related Serviced Companion Loan(s)’s share of any cost, expense, indemnity, Servicing Advance or interest on such Servicing Advance, or fee with respect to

 

 310

 

  

such Serviced Whole Loan, then the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) must use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amount out of collections on such Serviced Companion Loan(s) or, if and to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, from the holder or holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan(s).

 

The master servicer will also be entitled to make withdrawals, from time to time, from the Collection Account of amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursements required to be paid to the parties to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced PSA. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

If a P&I Advance is made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is part of a Whole Loan, then that P&I Advance, together with interest on such P&I Advance, may only be reimbursed out of future payments and collections on that Mortgage Loan or, as and to the extent described under “—Advances” above, on other Mortgage Loans, but not out of payments or other collections on the related Serviced Companion Loan. Likewise, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee that accrue with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is part of a Whole Loan and any other amounts payable to the operating advisor may only be paid out of payments and other collections on such Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgage Pool generally, but not out of payments or other collections on the related Serviced Companion Loan.

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, trustee, operating advisor and/or asset representations reviewer under the related Non-Serviced PSA governing the servicing of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be entitled to receive similar fees and reimbursements with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in amounts, from sources and at frequencies that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to those described above and, in certain cases (for example, with respect to unreimbursed special servicing fees and servicing advances with respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans), such amounts may be reimbursable from general collections on the other Mortgage Loans to the extent not recoverable from the Non-Serviced Whole Loans.

 

In connection with the servicing and administration of each Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the master servicer and the special servicer will be entitled to servicing compensation, without duplication, with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan as well as the related Mortgage Loan to the extent consistent with the PSA and not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Master Servicing Compensation

 

The fee of the master servicer including the fee of any primary or other sub-servicer (the “Servicing Fee”) will be payable monthly from amounts allocable in respect of interest received in respect of each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent not prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement), and will accrue at a rate (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, equal to a per annum rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.05250%. The Servicing Fee payable to the master servicer with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan will be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, from amounts payable in respect of the related Companion Loan.

 

In addition to the Servicing Fee, the master servicer will be entitled to retain, as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the following amounts to the extent collected from the related borrower:

 

100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any consents, modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion

Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions;

 

50% of Excess Modification Fees related to any consents, modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Major Decisions;

 

100% of all assumption application fees received on any Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent the master servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee will not include any Modification Fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the special servicer is entitled to under the PSA);

 

100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees pursuant to the PSA on any Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) that are Master Servicer Decisions, provided that with respect to such transactions, the consent of the special servicer is not required to take such actions;

 

50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees), in each case, with respect to all Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) where the action is a Major Decision; and

 

late payment charges and default interest paid by the borrowers (that were accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) were not Specially Serviced Loans), but only to the extent such late payment charges and default interest are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses incurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or, if provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Serviced Companion Loan since the Closing Date.

 

In addition, the master servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account in Permitted Investments, and the master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA. The master servicer also is entitled to retain any interest earned on any servicing escrow account to the extent the interest is not required to be paid to the related borrowers.

 

See “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”.

 

Excess Modification Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, the sum of (A) the excess, if any, of (i) any and all Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of any of the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, over (ii) all unpaid or unreimbursed additional expenses (including, without limitation, reimbursement of Advances and interest on Advances to the extent not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the borrower but excluding Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) outstanding or previously incurred on behalf of the issuing entity with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and reimbursed from such Modification Fees and (B) expenses previously paid or reimbursed from Modification Fees as described in the preceding clause (A), which expenses have been recovered from the related borrower or otherwise.

 

Modification Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loans, any and all fees with respect to a modification, extension, waiver or amendment that modifies, extends, amends or waives any term of such Mortgage Loan documents and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents (as evidenced by a signed writing) agreed to by the master

 

 316

 

 

servicer or the special servicer, as applicable (other than all assumption fees, assumption application fees, consent fees, defeasance fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees).

 

With respect to each of the master servicer and the special servicer, the Excess Modification Fees collected and earned by such person from the related borrower (taken in the aggregate with any other Excess Modification Fees collected and earned by such person from the related borrower within the prior 18-months of the collection of the current Excess Modification Fees) will be subject to a cap of 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan on the closing date of the related modification, extension, waiver or amendment (after giving effect to such modification, extension, waiver or amendment) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

 

The Servicing Fee is calculated on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each related Serviced Companion Loan in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans. The Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan is included in the Administrative Cost Rate listed for that Mortgage Loan on Annex A-1. Any Servicing Fee Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis will be recomputed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, assuming a 360-day year (“30/360 Basis”) for purposes of calculating the Net Mortgage Rate.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the PSA, Wells Fargo will be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee (equal to the amount by which the Servicing Fee exceeds the sum of (i) the fee payable to any initial sub-servicer as a primary servicing fee and (ii) a master servicing fee at a per annum rate of 0.00250%) with respect to each Mortgage Loan and, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, each Serviced Companion Loan notwithstanding any termination or resignation of Wells Fargo as master servicer; provided that Wells Fargo may not retain any portion of the Servicing Fee to the extent that portion of the Servicing Fee is required to appoint a successor master servicer. In addition, Wells Fargo will have the right to assign and transfer its rights to receive that retained portion of its Servicing Fee to another party.

 

The master servicer will be required to pay its overhead and any general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the PSA. The master servicer will be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it except as expressly provided in the PSA. The master servicer will be responsible for all fees payable to any sub-servicers. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Method, Timing and Amount”.

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (and/or sub-servicer) servicing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA will be entitled to a primary servicing fee accruing at a rate ranging from 0.00125% to 0.00250% per annum with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which, for the avoidance of doubt, is included as part of the Servicing Fee Rate for purposes of the information presented in this prospectus.

 

Special Servicing Compensation

 

The principal compensation to be paid to the special servicer in respect of its special servicing activities will be the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

 

The “Special Servicing Fee” will accrue with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and each REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) on a loan-by-loan basis at a rate equal to a per annum rate of 0.25% (the “Special Servicing Fee Rate”) calculated on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan(s) (including any REO Loan), as applicable, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans, and will be payable monthly, first from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, and collections in respect of the related REO Property or Specially Serviced Loan and then from general collections on all the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Properties. The Non-Serviced Whole Loans will be subject to a similar special servicing fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further detail, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

The “Workout Fee” will generally be payable with respect to each Corrected Loan and will be equal to the lesser of (i) an amount calculated by application of a “Workout Fee Rate” of 1.00% to each collection 

 

 317

 

 

(other than penalty charges) of interest and principal (other than any amount for which a Liquidation Fee would be paid) (including scheduled payments, prepayments, balloon payments, and payments at maturity) received on the Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan and (ii) $1,000,000 in the aggregate with respect to any particular Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the special servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount will be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the special servicer will be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the special servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $25,000. The “Excess Modification Fee Amount” with respect to either the master servicer or the special servicer, any Corrected Loan and any particular modification, waiver, extension or amendment with respect to such Corrected Loan that gives rise to the payment of a Workout Fee, is an amount equal to the aggregate of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, unless prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and received and retained by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, as compensation within the prior 18 months of such modification, waiver, extension or amendment, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee. The Non-Serviced Whole Loans will be subject to a similar workout fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further details, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan but will become payable again if and when the Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Companion Loan) again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Loan will be reduced by any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to a related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and received by the special servicer as compensation within the prior twelve months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee.

 

If the special servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it will retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan that became a Corrected Loan during the period that it acted as special servicer and remained a Corrected Loan at the time of that termination or resignation, except that such Workout Fees will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of those Workout Fees. If the special servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated special servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the special servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the special servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the borrower had not made three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the borrower making such three (3) consecutive timely Periodic Payments.

 

A “Liquidation Fee” will be payable to the special servicer with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as to which the special servicer receives (a) a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related borrower or (b) any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (including with respect to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) or REO Property. The Liquidation Fee for each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Property will be payable from the related payment or proceeds in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a “Liquidation Fee Rate” of 1.00% to the related payment or proceeds (exclusive of default interest) (or, if such rate would result in an aggregate liquidation fee of less than $25,000, then the Liquidation Fee Rate will be equal to such higher rate as would result in an aggregate liquidation fee equal to $25,000) and (ii) $1,000,000; provided that the Liquidation Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan will be reduced by the amount of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Property and received by the special

 

 318

 

  

servicer as compensation within the prior twelve months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Companion Loan (with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, only to the extent that (i) the special servicer is enforcing the related mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the applicable mortgage loan purchase agreement with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the related Liquidation Fee is not otherwise required to be paid to the special servicer engaged with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan securitization trust or prohibited from being paid to the special servicer under the PSA (in each case, under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the securitization trust that includes such Serviced Companion Loan) as to which the special servicer obtains any payment or Loss of Value Payment from the applicable mortgage loan seller in connection with the repurchase of such Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan by the applicable mortgage loan seller following the dispute resolutions as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, the special servicer will be entitled to a fee payable from, and calculated by application of 1.00% to the related payment or Loss of Value Payment (exclusive of default interest), subject to a cap of $1,000,000; provided, however, that any such fee payable with respect to the Serviced Companion Loan will be payable solely from proceeds on such Serviced Companion Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based upon, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with:

 

(i)     within the time period (or extension of such time period) provided for such repurchase or substitution if such repurchase or substitution occurs prior to the termination of such extended period, (A) the repurchase of, or substitution for, any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan by a mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation or (B) the payment of a Loss of Value Payment in connection with any such breach or document defect,

 

(ii)    the purchase of  any Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property that is subject to mezzanine indebtedness by the holder of the related mezzanine loan within 90 days following the date that the first purchase option trigger occurs resulting in such purchase option holder’s purchase option becoming exercisable during the period prior to such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Loan,

 

(iii)    the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in connection with an optional termination of the issuing entity,

 

(iv)    with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (A) a repurchase of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by the applicable mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation under the pooling and servicing agreement for the securitization trust that owns such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan within the time period (or extension of such time period) provided for such repurchase if such repurchase occurs prior to the termination of such extended period provided in such pooling and servicing agreement or (B) a purchase of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by an applicable party to a pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to a clean-up call or similar liquidation of another securitization entity,

 

(v)     the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan by the special servicer or its affiliate (except if such affiliate purchaser is the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate; provided, however, that if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, such affiliated Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate purchases any Specially Serviced Loan within 90 days after the special servicer delivers to such Directing Certificateholder for approval the initial asset status report with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee in connection with such purchase by the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliates), or

 

(vi)    if a Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (1) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” under the

 

 319

 

  

heading “—Special Servicing Transfer Event” and the related Liquidation Proceeds are received within 90 days following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan being refinanced or otherwise repaid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a liquidation fee is not payable due to the application of any of clauses (i) through (v) above, the special servicer may still collect and retain a liquidation fee and similar fees from the related borrower to the extent provided for in, or not prohibited by, the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Non-Serviced Whole Loans will be subject to a similar liquidation fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further detail, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

The special servicer will also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:

 

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

 

(ii)       100% of assumption application fees and assumption fees and other related fees as further described in the PSA, received with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of such assumption application fees and other related fees for all non-Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the special servicer is processing the underlying transaction,

 

(iii)       100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees on any Specially Serviced Loan or certain other similar fees paid by the related borrower, and

 

(iv)       50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption fees, consent fees and earnout fees and similar fees received with respect to all Mortgage Loans (including the Serviced Companion Loans, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreements, if applicable) (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the matter involves a Major Decision.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the master servicer and the special servicer may also charge reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request.

 

The special servicer will also be entitled to late payment charges and default interest paid by the borrowers and accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (including the related Companion Loan, if applicable, and to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) were Specially Serviced Loans and that are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including the related Companion Loan, if applicable, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) since the Closing Date. The special servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the REO Account in Permitted Investments, and the special servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is serviced under the related Non-Serviced PSA (including those occasions under the related Non-Serviced PSA when the servicing of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been transferred from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer). Accordingly, in its capacity as the special servicer under the PSA, the special servicer will not be entitled to receive any special servicing compensation for any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

 

Disclosable Special Servicer Fees

 

The PSA will provide that the special servicer and its affiliates will be prohibited from receiving or retaining any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under the PSA. The PSA will also provide that, with 

 

 320

 

 

respect to each Distribution Date, the special servicer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the master servicer within two (2) business days following the Determination Date, and the master servicer must deliver, to the extent it has received, to the certificate administrator, without charge and on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, an electronic report which discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the special servicer or any of its affiliates with respect to such Distribution Date, provided that no such report will be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

 

Disclosable Special Servicer Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property), any compensation and other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates that is paid by any person (including, without limitation, the issuing entity, any mortgagor, any manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and any purchaser of any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, and the performance by the special servicer or any such affiliate of any other special servicing duties under the PSA, other than (1) any Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees and (2) any compensation to which the special servicer is entitled pursuant to the PSA.

 

Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees” means any commercially reasonable treasury management fees, banking fees, title agency fees, insurance commissions or fees received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates in connection with any services performed by such party with respect to any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property) in accordance with the PSA.

 

The special servicer will be required to pay its overhead and any general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the PSA. The special servicer will not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it except as expressly provided in the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Method, Timing and Amount”.

 

Certificate Administrator and Trustee Compensation

 

As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be paid a fee (collectively, the “Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee”); provided that the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee includes the trustee fee, and the certificate administrator will pay the trustee fee to the trustee in an amount equal to $290 per month. The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00840% per annum (the “Certificate Administrator Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans or REO Loans.

 

Operating Advisor Compensation

 

The fee of the operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor Fee”) will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan and any Companion Loan), and will accrue at a rate (the “Operating Advisor Fee Rate”), equal to a per annum rate of 0.00395% and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

 

An “Operating Advisor Consulting Fee” will be payable to the operating advisor with respect to each Major Decision on which the operating advisor has consultation obligations and performed its duties with respect to that Major Decision. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be a fee for each such Major Decision equal to $10,000 (or such lesser amount as the related borrower agrees to pay) with respect to

 

 321

 

  

any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided that the operating advisor may in its sole discretion reduce the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Major Decision.

 

Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account out of amounts otherwise available to make distributions on the Offered Certificates as described in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, only as and to the extent that such fee is actually received from the related borrower. If the operating advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision, the PSA will require the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related borrower in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will each be permitted to waive or reduce the amount of any such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult, on a non-binding basis, with the operating advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

 

In addition to the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, the operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses in accordance with the terms of the PSA. “Operating Advisor Expenses” for each Distribution Date will equal any unreimbursed indemnification amounts or additional trust fund expenses payable to the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA (other than the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee).

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

 

As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer was paid by the Depositor or its affiliate a $5,000 setup fee and will be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00060% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including each Non Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

 

With respect to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a fee that is a reasonable and customary hourly fee charged by the asset representations reviewer for similar consulting assignments at the time of such review and any related costs and expenses; provided that the total payment to the asset representations reviewer will not be greater than the Asset Representations Reviewer Cap (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”).

 

With respect to an individual Asset Review Trigger and the Mortgage Loans that are Delinquent Loans and are subject to an Asset Review (the “Subject Loans”), the “Asset Representations Reviewer Cap” will equal  the sum of: (i) $9,500 multiplied by the number of Subject Loans, plus (ii) $1,500 per Mortgaged Property relating to the Subject Loans in excess of one Mortgaged Property per Subject Loan, plus (iii) $1,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a ground lease, plus (iv) $1,000 per Mortgaged Property relating to a Subject Loan subject to a franchise agreement, hotel management agreement or hotel license agreement.

 

Similar fees and/or fee provisions to those described above will be (or are expected to be) payable to the applicable asset representations reviewer (if any) under each Non-Serviced PSA with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, although there may be differences in the calculations of such fees.

 

The related mortgage loan seller with respect to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review will be required to pay the portion of the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee attributable to the Delinquent Loan contributed by it, as allocated on the basis of the hourly charges and costs and expenses incurred with respect to its related Delinquent Loans; provided that if the total charge for the asset representations reviewer on an hourly fee plus costs and expenses basis would exceed the

 

 322

 

  

Asset Representations Reviewer Cap, each mortgage loan seller’s required payment will be reduced pro rata according to its proportion of the total charges until the aggregate amount owed by all mortgage loan sellers is equal to the Asset Representations Reviewer Cap; provided, however, that if the related mortgage loan seller is insolvent, such fee will be paid by the trust following delivery by the asset representations reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency; provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the issuing entity to the asset representations reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related mortgage loan seller and the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, to pursue remedies against such mortgage loan seller in order to seek recovery of such amounts from such mortgage loan seller or its insolvency estate. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan is required to be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by the related mortgage loan seller to the extent such fee was not already paid by the related mortgage loan seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received will be used to reimburse the trust for such fees paid to the asset representations reviewer pursuant to the terms of the PSA.

Appraisal Reduction Amounts

 

After an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount is required to be calculated. An “Appraisal Reduction Event” will occur on the earliest of:

 

(1)    120 days after an uncured delinquency (without regard to the application of any grace period), other than any uncured delinquency in respect of a balloon payment, occurs in respect of the Mortgage Loan or a related Companion Loan, as applicable;

 

(2)    the date on which a reduction in the amount of Periodic Payments on the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, as applicable, or a change in any other material economic term of the Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan, as applicable, (other than an extension of its maturity), becomes effective as a result of a modification of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, by the special servicer;

 

(3)    30 days after the date on which a receiver has been appointed for the Mortgaged Property;

 

(4)    30 days after the date on which a borrower or the tenant at a single tenant property declares bankruptcy (and not otherwise dismissed within such time);

 

 323

 

  

(5)    60 days after the date on which an involuntary petition of bankruptcy is filed with respect to the borrower if not dismissed within such time;

 

(6)    a payment default has occurred with respect to the related balloon payment; provided, however, if (A) the related borrower is diligently seeking a refinancing commitment (and delivers a statement to that effect to the master servicer within 30 days after the default, who will be required to promptly deliver a copy to the special servicer, the operating advisor and the directing certificateholder (but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred)), (B) the related borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payment, (C) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and (D) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder consents, an Appraisal Reduction Event will not occur until 60 days beyond the related maturity date, unless extended by the special servicer in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA; and provided, further, if the related borrower has delivered to the master servicer, who will be required to promptly deliver a copy to the special servicer, the operating advisor and the directing certificateholder (but only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), on or before the 60th day after the related maturity date, a refinancing commitment reasonably acceptable to the special servicer, and the borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payments (and no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan), an Appraisal Reduction Event will not occur until the earlier of (1) 120 days beyond the related maturity date (or extended maturity date) and (2) the termination of the refinancing commitment; and

 

(7)    immediately after a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan becomes an REO Loan; provided, however, that the 30-day period referenced in clauses (3) and (4) above will not apply if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

The “Appraisal Reduction Amount” for any Distribution Date and for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan as to which any Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, will be an amount, calculated by the master servicer (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days following the date the master servicer receives from the special servicer the related appraisal or valuation described below, equal to the excess of:

 

(a)    the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or the Stated Principal Balance of the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, over

 

(b)    the excess of

 

1.    the sum of

 

(a)90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined (A) by one or more MAI appraisals obtained by the special servicer with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal balance equal to or in excess of $2,000,000 (the costs of which will be paid by the master servicer as an Advance), or (B) by an internal valuation performed by the special servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal balance less than $2,000,000, minus with respect to any MAI appraisals such downward adjustments as the special servicer may make (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon its review of the appraisals and any other information it deems relevant, and

 

(b)all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as of the date of calculation; and

 

 324

 

  

(c)all insurance and casualty proceeds and condemnation awards that constitute collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; over

 

2.     the sum as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination of

 

(a)to the extent not previously advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, all unpaid interest due on that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate,

 

(b)all P&I Advances on the related Mortgage Loan and all Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan not reimbursed from the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and interest on those Advances at the Reimbursement Rate in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and

 

(c)all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts due and unpaid (including any capitalized interest whether or not then due and payable) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan (which tax, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable).

 

Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single Mortgage Loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan, as applicable, that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan will be allocated, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances. For a summary of the provisions in the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to appraisal reductions, see “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

The special servicer will be required to order an appraisal or conduct a valuation, upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event and within 30 days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans). On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the tenth business day following the master servicer’s receipt from the special servicer of the MAI appraisal or the valuation, the master servicer will be required to calculate and report to the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the results of such appraisal or valuation. Such report will also be forwarded by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan).

 

In the event that the special servicer has not received any required MAI appraisal within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event, the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be deemed to be an amount equal to 25% of the current Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) until an MAI appraisal or valuation referred to above is received by the special servicer. The Appraisal Reduction Amount is calculated as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days following the date the master servicer receives from the special servicer such MAI appraisal. The special servicer will provide (via electronic delivery) the master servicer with any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to its definition using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within 5 business days of the master servicer’s reasonable request.

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has remained current for three (3) consecutive Periodic Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan during the preceding

 

 325

 

  

three (3) months (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the special servicer is required (i) within 30 days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event and (ii) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, to notify the master servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and to order an appraisal (which may be an update of a prior appraisal), the cost of which will be paid by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance (or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the issuing entity paid out of the Collection Account), or to conduct an internal valuation, as applicable. Based upon the appraisal or valuation and receipt of information reasonably requested by the master servicer from the special servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the master servicer is required to determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the calculated or recalculated amount of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Such report will also be forwarded to the holder of any related Companion Loan by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the special servicer will consult with the Directing Certificateholder, with respect to any appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer will not be required to obtain an appraisal or valuation with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the special servicer has obtained an appraisal or valuation with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the 12-month period prior to the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the master servicer may use the prior appraisal or valuation in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, provided that the special servicer has not notified the master servicer of any material change to the Mortgaged Property that has occurred that would affect the validity of the appraisal or valuation.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the provisions in the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to appraisal reductions that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to the provisions described above, including the party to the Non-Serviced PSA that calculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The existence of an appraisal reduction under the related Non-Serviced PSA in respect of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will proportionately reduce the master servicer’s or the trustee’s, as the case may be, obligation to make P&I Advances on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and will generally have the effect of reducing the amount otherwise available for distributions to the Certificateholders. Pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be treated, together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an appraisal reduction amount with respect to the loans that comprise the Non-Serviced Whole Loans. Any appraisal reduction calculated with respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans will generally be allocated to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

 

If any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount that becomes a Corrected Loan, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the related Appraisal Reduction Event will cease to exist.

 

As a result of calculating one or more Appraisal Reduction Amounts (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, to the extent allocated in the related Mortgage Loan), the amount of any required P&I Advance will be reduced, which will have the effect of reducing the amount of interest available to the most subordinate class of certificates then-outstanding (i.e., first, to Class NR-RR certificates; second, to the Class G-RR certificates; third, to the Class F-RR certificates; fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates; fifth, to the Class D certificates, sixth, to the Class C certificates, seventh, to the Class B certificates, eighth, to the class A-S certificates and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates). See “—Advances”.

 

 326

 

 

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the master servicer will be required to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the special servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the master servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the master servicer will be required to (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the master servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the master servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the master servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to the PSA that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party will be required to promptly notify the master servicer thereof. None of the special servicer, the operating advisor, the trustee or the certificate administrator will calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

A “Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount” as of any date of determination, is equal to the sum of (i) with respect to any Mortgage Loan, all Appraisal Reduction Amounts then in effect, and (ii) with respect to any AB Modified Loan, any Collateral Deficiency Amount then in effect. The special servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the master servicer’s calculation or determination of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

AB Modified Loan” means any Corrected Loan (1) that became a Corrected Loan (which includes for purposes of this definition any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a “corrected loan” (or any term substantially similar thereto) pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) due to a modification thereto that resulted in the creation of an A/B note structure (or similar structure) and as to which the new junior note(s) did not previously exist or the principal amount of the new junior note(s) was previously part of either an A note held by the issuing entity or the original unmodified Mortgage Loan and (2) as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount is not in effect.

 

Collateral Deficiency Amount” means, with respect to any AB Modified Loan as of any date of determination, the excess of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such AB Modified Loan (taking into account the related junior note(s) and any pari passu notes included therein), over (ii) the sum of (in the case of a Whole Loan, solely to the extent allocable to the subject Mortgage Loan) (x) the most recent Appraised Value for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, plus (y) solely to the extent not reflected or taken into account in such Appraised Value and to the extent on deposit with, or otherwise under the control of, the lender as of the date of such determination, any capital or additional collateral contributed by the related borrower at the time the Mortgage Loan became (and as part of the modification related to) such AB Modified Loan for the benefit of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (provided that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the amounts set forth in this clause (y) will be taken into account solely to the extent relevant information is received by the master servicer), plus (z) any other escrows or reserves (in addition to any amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clause (y)) held by the lender in respect of such AB Modified Loan as of the date of such determination. The special servicer, the operating advisor and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the master servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated to each class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class NR-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, fifth, to the Class D certificates, sixth, to the Class C certificates, seventh, to the Class B certificates and finally, to the Class A-S certificates). In addition, for purposes of

 

 327

 

 

determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to a related AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to Class NR-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, and fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates will be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which will constitute the applicable “Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount”), as described in this paragraph.

 

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis. The master servicer will be required to promptly notify the special servicer and the certificate administrator of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the certificate administrator will be required to promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the certificate administrator’s website.

 

Any class of Control Eligible Certificates, that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) is referred to as an “Appraised-Out Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraised-Out Class will have the right, at their sole expense, to require the special servicer to order a supplemental appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The special servicer will use its reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be (i) delivered within 30 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser. Upon receipt of such supplemental appraisal, the special servicer will be required to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, the master servicer will recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such supplemental appraisal and receipt of information requested by the master servicer from the special servicer as described above. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable Appraised-Out Class will be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class will, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable.

 

Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the master servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such class is reinstated as the Controlling Class; the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the next most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any, during such period.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will be subject to provisions similar to those described above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Maintenance of Insurance

 

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan and required by the Servicing Standard, the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause each borrower to maintain, and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties

 

 328

 

 

other than the Mortgaged Property securing the Non-Serviced Whole Loans and subject to the conditions set forth in the following sentence) will maintain, for the related Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that the master servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans) will not be required to cause the borrower to maintain and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties) will not be required to maintain terrorism insurance to the extent that the failure of the related borrower to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as defined below) or if the trustee does not have an insurable interest. Insurance coverage is required to be in the amounts (which, in the case of casualty insurance, is generally equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the replacement cost of the related Mortgaged Property), and from an insurer meeting the requirements, set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. If the borrower does not maintain such coverage, the master servicer (with respect to such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing the Non-Serviced Whole Loans), as the case may be, will be required to maintain such coverage to the extent such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, as determined by the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing the Non-Serviced Whole Loans), as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the master servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the borrower to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the borrower’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the master servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) with (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”.

 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision above, the master servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless (other than with respect to a Mortgaged Property securing any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the trustee has an insurable interest and such insurance is currently available at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, the master servicer and the special servicer will be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. After the master servicer determines that a Mortgaged Property other than the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area (and flood insurance has been made available), the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (1) to cause the borrower to maintain (to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan documents), and (2) if the borrower does not so maintain, to itself maintain to the extent the trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest in the Mortgaged Property and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the master servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) a flood insurance policy in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) and (y) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard, but only to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan permits the lender to require the coverage and maintaining coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan, that either (x) require the borrower to maintain “all-risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable borrower to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the master servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain exclusions in addition to those customarily found in insurance

 

 329

 

 

policies for mortgaged properties similar to the Mortgaged Properties on or prior to September 11, 2001 (“Additional Exclusions”), (B) request the borrower to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance, and (C) notify the special servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge that any borrower fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the master servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the master servicer (with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the special servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) will be required to notify the master servicer and the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. If the master servicer (with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan) determines that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default, it will be required to promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the 10 highest outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans then included in the issuing entity or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the issuing entity.

 

Acceptable Insurance Default” means with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents arising by reason of (i) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property specific insurance coverage with respect to, or an all-risk casualty insurance policy that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, in each case, as to which default the special servicer may forbear taking any enforcement action; provided that, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”, the special servicer has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard that either (a) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is located, or (b) such insurance is not available at any rate.

 

During the period that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is evaluating the availability of such insurance, or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the borrower to maintain such insurance and neither will be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the master servicer or the special servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard and other servicing requirements under the PSA and the master servicer does not take such action as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event” and “—Servicing Override”.

 

The special servicer will be required to maintain (or cause to be maintained), fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property (other than any REO Property with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), to the extent obtainable at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (1) the full replacement cost of the improvements on the REO Property, and (2) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related REO Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions. In addition, if the REO Property is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area, the special servicer will be required to cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the special servicer (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in respect of any Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

 

 330

 

 

The PSA provides that the master servicer may satisfy its obligation to cause each borrower to maintain a hazard insurance policy and the master servicer or special servicer may satisfy their respective obligation to maintain hazard insurance by maintaining a blanket or master single interest or force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on the Mortgage Loans and related Serviced Companion Loan and REO Properties (other than the Mortgaged Property securing the Non-Serviced Whole Loans), as applicable. Any losses incurred with respect to Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Properties due to uninsured risks (including earthquakes, mudflows and floods) or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may adversely affect payments to Certificateholders. Any cost incurred by the master servicer or special servicer in maintaining a hazard insurance policy, if the borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, will be advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related borrower. Generally, no borrower is required by the Mortgage Loan documents to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property and the special servicer will not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any REO Properties. Any cost of maintaining that kind of required insurance or other earthquake insurance obtained by the special servicer will be paid out of the REO Account or advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

The costs of the insurance may be recovered by the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, from reimbursements received from the borrower or, if the borrower does not pay those amounts, as a Servicing Advance as set forth in the PSA. All costs and expenses incurred by the special servicer in maintaining the insurance described above on REO Properties will be paid out of the related REO Account or, if the amount in such account is insufficient, such costs and expenses will be advanced by the master servicer to the special servicer as a Servicing Advance to the extent that such Servicing Advance is not determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

No pool insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy, bankruptcy bond, repurchase bond or certificate guarantee insurance will be maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans, nor will any Mortgage Loan be subject to FHA insurance.

The master servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are Master Servicer Decisions with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan that, in either case, is not a Specially Serviced Loan, without the consent or approval of the Directing Certificateholder (except as specified in the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”) or Rating Agency Confirmation or the consent or approval of the special servicer (except as specified in the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”). The special servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and will also be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are Major Decisions with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan. However, except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, no special servicer or master servicer may waive, modify or amend (or consent to waive, modify or amend) any provision of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable except for (1) the waiver of any due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause to the extent permitted in the PSA, and (2) any waiver, modification or amendment more than 3 months after the Closing Date that would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or the issuing entity or any Trust REMIC to be subject to tax. Any agreement to a modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision will be subject to the process described in “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions” and “—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” below.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in the first paragraph of this section that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. The master servicer will deliver any additional information in the master

 

 331

 

 

servicer’s possession to the special servicer requested by the special servicer relating to such Major Decision. The master servicer will not be permitted to process any Major Decision and will not be required to interface with the borrower or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any Major Decision unless the master servicer and the special servicer mutually agree to the processing of such a Major Decision by the master servicer as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”. Under these circumstances, the master servicer will process such Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent.

 

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation will, unless then permitted by the REMIC provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

 

In connection with the processing by the master servicer of the matters described in the second preceding paragraph, the master servicer will deliver notice thereof to the special servicer after completion (and such special servicer will promptly, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than in respect of any Excluded Loan deliver notice thereof to the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent that the special servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, as the case may be, notifies the master servicer that such party does not desire to receive copies of such items).

 

Master Servicer Decision”: Any one or more of the following with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans:

 

(i)        grant routine approvals, including granting of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities that do not involve a ground lease for any leasing activities that affect an area lesser than the lesser of (a) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (b) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property), including approval of new leases and amendments to current leases;

(vi)       granting waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial covenants);

 

(vii)      as permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, payment from any escrow, reserve, or letter of credit (except releases of any amounts from any escrow accounts, reserve

(viii)     any property management company changes (with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (A)(x) with a Stated Principal Balance less than $25,000,000 and (y) for which the debt service coverage ratio or debt yield for such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is greater than the greater of (X) the debt service coverage ratio or debt yield for such Mortgage Loan as of the origination date of such Mortgage Loan or (Y) if the DSCR/DY Trigger has occurred, the debt service coverage ratio or debt yield for such Mortgage Loan as of the most recent quarterly reporting period and (B) where the property management company will not be an affiliate of the related borrower following such change or (2) or franchise changes (with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, in each case, for which the lender is not required to consent or approve under the Mortgage Loan documents);

 

(ix)      approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements except with respect to grants of easements or rights of way that materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a borrower’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan;

 

(x)       any non-material modifications, waivers or amendments of a non-monetary term of an applicable Mortgage Loan document not provided for in clauses (i) through (ix) above, which are necessary to cure any ambiguities or to correct scrivener’s errors in the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and any modification, consent to a modification or waiver of any material term of an applicable Mortgage Loan document to the extent the Directing Certificateholder or any affiliate owns a controlling interest (whether legally, beneficially or otherwise) in the related mezzanine loan, if applicable;

 

(xi)      consents to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due, provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents;

 

(xii)     consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of parcels of a Mortgaged Property, except with respect to any condemnation with respect to a material parcel or a material income producing parcel or any condemnation that materially affects the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan when due);

 

(xiii)    grant an extension or enter into any forbearance with respect to the anticipated refinancing of a Mortgage Loan or sale of a Mortgaged Property after the related Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan so long as (A) such extension or forbearance does not extend beyond 120 days after the related Maturity Date and (B) the related borrower has delivered the necessary documentation which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which the related Balloon Balance will become due;

 

(xiv)     any assumption of the Mortgage Loan or transfer of the Mortgaged Property, in each case, that the loan documents allow without the consent of the mortgagee but subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the loan documents where no mortgagee discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied; and

 

(xv)     grant or agree to any other waiver, modification, amendment and/or consent that does not constitute a Major Decision;

 

provided that (w) any such action would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates, (x) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan

 

 333

 

 

pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the issuing entity to the extent not reimbursed or paid by the related mortgagor), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (y) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) agreeing to such action would not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of the PSA or any Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing is intended to be an itemization of actions the master servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of the special servicer (other than as described in each item) and is not intended to limit the responsibilities of the master servicer hereunder. In the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days after receipt of the master servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to such master servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent.

 

If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio (as so calculated) is greater than 125%, the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or any successor provision, unless the related borrower provides an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the related borrower if allowed by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if not allowed, at the expense of the trust) that, if such amount is not paid, the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage).

 

The special servicer is required to use its reasonable efforts to the extent reasonably possible to fully amortize a modified Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. The special servicer may not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if that modification, waiver or amendment would:

 

(1)       extend the maturity date of the Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (A) five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (B) if the Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, ten years, prior to the end of the current term of the ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the borrower; or

 

(2)       provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loans, generally, at the related Mortgage Rate.

 

If the special servicer gives notice of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Whole Loans) or related Companion Loan, the special servicer will be required to notify the master servicer, the holder of any related Companion Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not a master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), the operating advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, and unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred), and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. If the master servicer gives notice of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to notify the certificate administrator, the trustee, the special servicer (and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the special servicer will be required to forward any such notice with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan to the Directing Certificateholder), the related mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not a master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), the holder of any related Companion Loan and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. The party

 

 334

 

 

providing notice will be required to deliver to the custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement related to the modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the execution of that agreement, and if required, a copy to the master servicer and to the holder of any related Companion Loan, all as set forth in the PSA. Copies of each agreement whereby the modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan is effected are required to be available for review during normal business hours at the offices of the custodian. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

 

The modification, waiver or amendment of a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan that has a related mezzanine loan will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk”.

 

Enforcement of “Due-on-Sale” and “Due-on-Encumbrance” Provisions

 

Other than with respect to an action that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv) of the definition thereof, and unless mutually agreed by the master servicer and special servicer as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”, the special servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether (a) to exercise any right the mortgagee of record may have with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan containing a “due-on-sale” clause (1) to accelerate the payments on that Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, or (2) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) to waive its right to exercise such rights; provided, however, that (i) the special servicer, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (provided that such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days (or 5 business days if the Directing Certificateholder is an affiliate of the special servicer) after receipt of the Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding, and (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same or an affiliated borrower, that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the special servicer from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any); provided, however, that with respect to clauses (y) and (z) of this paragraph, such Mortgage Loan will also be required to have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.

 

Other than with respect to clause (xiv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”, with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan with a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, or unless mutually agreed by the master servicer and special servicer as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”, the special servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether (a) to exercise any right the mortgagee of record may have with respect to a Mortgage Loan containing a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (1) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (2) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) to waive its right to exercise such rights, provided, however, that (i) the special servicer, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan and other than with respect to any waiver of a “due on encumbrance” clause, which such waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv) of the definition thereof, has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (provided that such consent shall be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days(or 5 business days if the Directing Certificateholder is an affiliate of the special servicer) after receipt of the Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) the special servicer has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action

 

 335

 

 

will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any) if such Mortgage Loan (1) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans or (2) has a loan-to-value ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (3) has a debt service coverage ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional loan) or (4) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (5) has a Stated Principal Balance over $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4), such Mortgage Loan must also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in the first two paragraphs of this section that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due on sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” and other than any waiver of a “due on encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv) of the definition thereof, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance. The master servicer will continue to cooperate with the special servicer by delivering any additional information in the master servicer’s possession to the special servicer requested by the special servicer relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due on sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause. Unless the master servicer and the special servicer mutually agree that the master servicer will process such request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent, the master servicer will not be permitted to process any request relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due on sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause (other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” and other than any waiver of a “due on encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiv) of the definition thereof) and will not be required to interface with the borrower or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such request.

 

Any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of the Non-Serviced Whole Loans will be required to be structured so as to be consistent with the Servicing Standard and the allocation and payment priorities in the related loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the issuing entity as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan nor any holder of the related Companion Loan gains a priority over the other holder that is not reflected in the related loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Inspections

 

The master servicer will be required to perform (at its own expense) or cause to be performed (at its own expense), physical inspections of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than the Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which is subject to inspection pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, and other than a Specially Serviced Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (A) $2,000,000 or more at least once every 12 months and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2018, unless a physical inspection has been performed by the special servicer within the previous 12 months and the master servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection; provided that if any scheduled payment becomes more than 60 days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the special servicer is required to inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan (the cost of which inspection, to the extent not paid by the related borrower, will be reimbursed first from default interest and late charges constituting additional compensation of the special servicer on the related Mortgage Loan (but with respect to a

 

 336

 

 

Serviced Whole Loan, only amounts available for such purpose under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and then from the Collection Account as an expense of the issuing entity, and in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, as an expense of the holders of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The special servicer or the master servicer, as applicable, will be required to prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of any vacancies in the Mortgaged Property of which it has knowledge and deems material, of any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which it has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, of any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the preparer of such report deems material, or of any material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection.

 

Copies of the inspection reports referred to above that are delivered to the certificate administrator will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website for review by Privileged Persons pursuant to the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

 

Collection of Operating Information

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan that requires the borrower to deliver operating statements, the special servicer or the master servicer, as applicable, is also required to use reasonable efforts to collect and review the annual operating statements beginning with calendar year end 2017 of the related Mortgaged Property. Most of the Mortgage Loan documents obligate the related borrower to deliver annual property operating statements. However, we cannot assure you that any operating statements required to be delivered will in fact be delivered, nor is the special servicer or the master servicer likely to have any practical means of compelling the delivery in the case of an otherwise performing Mortgage Loan.

 

Special Servicing Transfer Event

 

The Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Companion Loans and any related REO Properties will be serviced by the special servicer under the PSA in the event that the servicing responsibilities of the master servicer are transferred to the special servicer as described below. Such Mortgage Loans and related Companion Loans (including those loans that have become REO Properties) serviced by the special servicer are referred to in this prospectus collectively as the “Specially Serviced Loans”. The master servicer will be required to transfer certain of the servicing responsibilities to the special servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) for which the master servicer is responsible for servicing:

 

(1)       either (x) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, other than a balloon loan, a payment default has occurred on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan at its maturity date or, if the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan has been extended in accordance with the PSA, a payment default occurs on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan at its extended maturity date or (y) with respect to a balloon loan, a payment default has occurred with respect to the related balloon payment; provided that if (A) the related borrower has provided prior to the related maturity date a fully executed term sheet or refinancing commitment or a signed purchase and sale agreement for a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan or sale of the Mortgaged Property (in each case subject only to typical due diligence and closing conditions) in a manner consistent with CMBS market practices and that is satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer from an acceptable lender or purchaser reasonably satisfactory to the master servicer, which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or the sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such balloon payment will become due (and the master servicer will promptly forward such documentation to the special servicer), (B) the related borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payment, and (C) no other event that would cause such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan to become a Specially Serviced Loan has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, an event that would cause such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan to become a Specially Serviced Loan

 

 337

 

 

will not occur until the earlier of (1) 120 days beyond the related maturity date and (2) the date on which such documentation expires;

 

(2)       as to which any Periodic Payment (other than a balloon payment) is more than 60 days delinquent (unless, prior to such Periodic Payment becoming more than 60 days delinquent, in the case of a Mortgage Loan with an associated mezzanine loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan or the holder of the related mezzanine debt, as applicable, cures such delinquency);

 

(3)       as to which (i) the borrower has entered into or consented to bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver or conservator or a similar insolvency proceeding, or (ii) the borrower has become the subject of a decree or order for that proceeding; provided that, with respect to clause (ii), that if the appointment, decree or order was involuntary and is stayed or discharged, or the case dismissed within 60 days, that Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan will not be considered a Specially Serviced Loan during that period), or (iii) the borrower has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;

 

(4)       as to which the master servicer or special servicer has received notice of the foreclosure or proposed foreclosure of any lien other than the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;

 

(5)       as to which, in the judgment of the master servicer, a payment default is imminent or reasonably foreseeable and is not likely to be cured by the borrower within 60 days;

 

(6)       as to which a default that the master servicer or special servicer has notice (other than a failure by the related borrower to pay principal or interest) and which the master servicer or special servicer (and, in the case of the special servicer, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment, may materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to any Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans and the subordinate nature of any Subordinate Companion Loans, as applicable), has occurred and remains unremediated for the applicable grace period specified in the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan documents, other than in certain circumstances the failure to maintain terrorism insurance (or if no grace period is specified for events of default that are capable of cure, 60 days); or

 

(7)       as to which the master servicer determines that (a) a default (other than as described in clause (5) above) under the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is imminent or reasonably foreseeable, (b) such default will materially impair the value of the corresponding Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or otherwise materially adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans and the subordinate nature of any Subordinate Companion Loans, as applicable)), and (c) the default will continue unremedied for the applicable cure period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, or, if no cure period is specified and the default is capable of being cured, for 30 days; provided that such 30-day grace period does not apply to a default that gives rise to immediate acceleration without application of a grace period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer may elect to deliver a written notice to the master servicer that a Mortgage Loan should be a Specially Serviced Loan as a result of imminent default under clause (5) or (7) above. Upon receipt of any such written notice, the master servicer will deliver an officer’s certificate to each of the depositor and the special servicer with its determination of whether to transfer such Mortgage Loan to special servicing under clause (5) or (7) above and the reasons for such determination, and such determination shall be conclusive with respect to a servicing transfer at that time.

 

However, the master servicer will be required to continue to (x) receive payments on the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) (including amounts collected by the special servicer),

 

 338

 

 

(y) make certain calculations with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan and (z) make remittances and prepare certain reports to the Certificateholders with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Additionally, the master servicer will continue to receive the Servicing Fee in respect of the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) at the Servicing Fee Rate.

 

If the related Mortgaged Property is acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise (upon acquisition, an “REO Property”), the special servicer will continue to be responsible for its operation and management. If any Serviced Companion Loan becomes specially serviced, then the related Mortgage Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, then the related Serviced Companion Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. The master servicer will have no responsibility for the performance by the special servicer of its duties under the PSA. Any Mortgage Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), that is or becomes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan and is cross-collateralized with a Specially Serviced Loan will become a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

A Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan (each, a “Corrected Loan”) (A) with respect to the circumstances described in clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, when the borrower thereunder has brought the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan current and thereafter made three consecutive full and timely Periodic Payments, including pursuant to any workout of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, (B) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (3), (4), (5) and (7) of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, when such circumstances cease to exist in the good faith judgment of the special servicer or (C) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (6) of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, when such default is cured (as determined by the special servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) or waived by the special servicer; provided, in each case, that at that time no circumstance exists (as described above) that would cause the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan to continue to be characterized as a Specially Serviced Loan. If any Specially Serviced Loan becomes a Corrected Loan, the special servicer will be required to transfer servicing of such Corrected Loan to the master servicer.

 

Asset Status Report

 

The special servicer will be required to prepare a report (an “Asset Status Report”) for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, any Serviced Whole Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan not later than 60 days after the servicing of such Mortgage Loan is transferred to the special servicer (the “Initial Delivery Date”) and will be required to amend, update or create a new Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the circumstances and/or strategy reflected in any current Final Asset Status Report are necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). Each Final Asset Status Report will be required to be delivered in electronic form to:

 

the Directing Certificateholder (but only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event);

 

with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold or, if such related Serviced Companion Loan has not been included in a securitization transaction, to the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan;

 

the operating advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event);

 

the master servicer; and

 

 339

 

  

the 17g-5 Information Provider, which will be required to post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website.

 

A summary of each Asset Status Report will be provided to the certificate administrator and the trustee.

 

An Asset Status Report prepared for each Specially Serviced Loan will be required to include, among other things, the following information:

 

summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Loan and any negotiations with the related borrower;

 

a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the special servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

 

the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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;

 

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

 

the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the special servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

 

such other information as the special servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan within 10 business days (or, if the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer are affiliates, 5 business days) after receipt of the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within 10 business days (or, if the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer are affiliates, 5 business days) or if the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard,

 

 340

 

 

that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the special servicer within 10 business days (or, if the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer are affiliates, 5 business days)) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders, the special servicer will be required to implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder disapproves the Asset Status Report within the 5-business day or 10-business day period, as applicable, and the special servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after the disapproval. The special servicer will be required to continue to revise the Asset Status Report until the Directing Certificateholder fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report or until the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders; provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of 60 business days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the special servicer will follow the Directing Certificateholder’s direction, if such direction is consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder’s direction would cause the special servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the special servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process”.

 

A “Final Asset Status Report” means, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the initial Asset Status Report (together with such other data or supporting information provided by the special servicer to the Directing Certificateholder that does not include any communication (other than the related Asset Status Report) between the special servicer and the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan) required to be delivered by the special servicer by the Initial Delivery Date and any Subsequent Asset Status Report, in each case, in the form fully approved or deemed approved, if applicable, by the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process following completion of the ASR Consultation Process. For the avoidance of doubt, the special servicer may issue more than one Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the procedures described above. Each Final Asset Status Report shall be labeled or otherwise identified or communicated as being final.

 

Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the special servicer will be required to deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the operating advisor promptly following completion of each Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process. The Operating Advisor’s review of any such Final Asset Status Report shall only provide background information to support the Operating Advisor’s duties concerning the special servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the operating advisor shall not provide comments to the special servicer in respect of such Final Asset Status Report. See “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” below for a discussion of the operating advisor’s ability to ask the special servicer reasonable questions with respect to such Final Asset Status Report.

 

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will be required to promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the operating advisor and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder. The operating advisor will be required to provide comments to the special servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within 10 business days following the later of receipt of (i) such Asset Status Report or (ii) such related additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The special servicer will be obligated to consider such alternative courses of action, if any, and any other feedback provided by the operating advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder) in connection with the special servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The special servicer will revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the operating advisor (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder), to the extent the special servicer determines that the operating advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations

 

 341

 

 

are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans and the subordinate nature of any Subordinate Companion Loans)). Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the operating advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued) or notice that the special servicer has decided not to revise such Asset Status Report, as applicable. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”. For additional information, see “—The Operating Advisor—Additional Duties of the Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing”.

 

The special servicer will not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the operating advisor or a recommendation of the operating advisor.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), will be entitled to consult with the special servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have no right to consult with the special servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the special servicer will only be obligated to consult with the operating advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The special servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will have approval and consultation rights with respect to any Asset Status Report prepared by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA that are substantially similar, but not identical, to the approval and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Whole Loans. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Realization Upon Mortgage Loans

 

If a payment default or material non-monetary default on a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) has occurred, then, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer, on behalf of the trustee, may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the PSA, at any time institute foreclosure proceedings, exercise any power of sale contained in the related Mortgage, obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise acquire title to the related Mortgaged Property, by operation of law or otherwise. The special servicer is not permitted, however, to cause the trustee to acquire title to any Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged Property or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property that would cause the trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or any other specified person to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or an “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of certain federal environmental laws, unless the special servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental audits and performed within six months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action (which report will be an expense of the issuing entity subject to the terms of the PSA) that:

 

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

 

 342

 

 

the related Serviced Companion Loans constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

 

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

 

Such requirement precludes enforcement of the security for the related Mortgage Loan until a satisfactory environmental site assessment is obtained (or until any required remedial action is taken), but will decrease the likelihood that the issuing entity will become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at the Mortgaged Property. However, we cannot assure you that the requirements of the PSA will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability for a materially adverse environmental condition at any Mortgaged Property.

 

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the issuing entity (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose), the special servicer will be required to sell the Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of acquisition, unless (1) the IRS grants (or has not denied) a qualifying extension of time to sell the property or (2) the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee receive an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the holding of the property by the Lower-Tier REMIC longer than the above-referenced three (3) year period will not result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code at any time that any certificate is outstanding. Subject to the foregoing and any other tax-related limitations, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer will generally be required to attempt to sell any Mortgaged Property so acquired in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The special servicer will also be required to cause any Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity to be administered so that it constitutes “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) at all times, and that the sale of the property does not result in the receipt by the issuing entity of any income from nonpermitted assets as described in Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B). If any Lower-Tier REMIC acquires title to any Mortgaged Property, the special servicer, on behalf of such Lower-Tier REMIC, will retain, at the expense of the issuing entity, an independent contractor to manage and operate the property. The independent contractor generally will be permitted to perform construction (including renovation) on a foreclosed property only if the construction was more than 10% completed at the time default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent. The retention of an independent contractor, however, will not relieve the special servicer of its obligation to manage the Mortgaged Property as required under the PSA.

 

In general, the special servicer will be obligated to cause any Mortgaged Property acquired as an REO Property to be operated and managed in a manner that would, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, maximize the issuing entity’s net after-tax proceeds from such property. Generally, no Trust REMIC will be taxable on income received with respect to a Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity to the extent that it constitutes “rents from real property”, within the meaning of Code Section 856(d) and Treasury regulations under the Code. Rents from real property include fixed rents and rents based on the gross receipts or sales of a tenant but do not include the portion of any rental based on the net income or profit of any tenant or sub-tenant. No determination has been made whether rent on any of the Mortgaged Properties meets this requirement. Rents from real property include charges for services customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property, whether or not the charges are separately stated. Services furnished to the tenants of a particular building will be considered as customary if, in the geographic market in which the building is located, tenants in buildings which are of similar class are customarily provided with the service. No determination has been made whether the services furnished to the tenants of the Mortgaged Properties are “customary” within the meaning of applicable regulations. It is therefore possible that a portion of the rental income with respect to

 

 343

 

 

a Mortgaged Property owned by the issuing entity would not constitute rents from real property. In addition, it is possible that none of the income with respect to a Mortgaged Property would qualify if a separate charge is not stated for non-customary services provided to tenants or if such services are not performed by an independent contractor. Rents from real property also do not include income from the operation of a trade or business on the Mortgaged Property, such as a hotel property, or rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property if the rent attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total net rent for the taxable year. Any of the foregoing types of income may instead constitute “net income from foreclosure property”, which would be taxable to the Lower-Tier REMIC at the highest marginal federal corporate rate (currently 35%) and may also be subject to state or local taxes. The PSA provides that the special servicer will be permitted to cause the Lower-Tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to Certificateholders is greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged Property. Because these sources of income, if they exist, are already in place with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, it is generally viewed as beneficial to Certificateholders to permit the issuing entity to continue to earn them if it acquires a Mortgaged Property, even at the cost of this tax. These taxes would be chargeable against the related income for purposes of determining the proceeds available for distribution to holders of certificates. See “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC—Prohibited Transactions”.

 

Under the PSA, the special servicer is required to establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, to be held on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, for the retention of revenues and insurance proceeds derived from each REO Property. The special servicer is required to use the funds in the REO Account to pay for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relate to such REO Property. To the extent that amounts in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient to make such payments, the master servicer is required to make a Servicing Advance, unless it determines such Servicing Advance would be nonrecoverable. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to the Determination Date or (y) 2 business days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available, the special servicer is required to deposit (or provide to the master servicer for it to deposit) all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during such Collection Period, net of any amounts withdrawn to make any permitted disbursements, to the Collection Account; provided that the special servicer may retain in the REO Account permitted reserves.

 

Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties

 

If the special servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of discounted payoff) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such sale would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, Certificateholders and any holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holder constituted a single lender (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loans, as applicable)) to attempt to sell a Defaulted Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as described below, the special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis. In the case of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the special servicer for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the special servicer will be entitled to sell (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to its outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts under the PSA (the “Par Purchase Price”), the special servicer may accept the first cash offer received from any person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan. If multiple offers are

 

 344

 

 

received during the period designated by the special servicer for receipt of offers, the special servicer is generally required to select the highest offer. The special servicer is required to give the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the operating advisor and (other than in respect of any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder not less than 10 business days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan. Neither the trustee nor any of its affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted Loan. “Defaulted Loan” means a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (i) that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments or delinquent in respect of its balloon payment, if any; provided that in respect of a balloon payment, such period will be 60 days if the related borrower has provided the master servicer or the special servicer with a written and fully executed commitment or otherwise binding application for refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan from an acceptable lender reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the special servicer (and the party receiving such commitment will promptly forward a copy of such commitment or application to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, if it is not evident that a copy has been delivered to such other party); and, in either case, such delinquency is to be determined without giving effect to any grace period permitted by the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and without regard to any acceleration of payments under the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note or (ii) as to which the special servicer has, by written notice to the related borrower, accelerated the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note.

 

The special servicer will be required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the special servicer will be required to take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the PSA within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.

 

If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the trustee may not be a offeror), then the trustee will be required to determine whether the cash offer constitutes a fair price; provided that no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) if the offer is less than the applicable Par Purchase Price, at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the trustee will be supplied with and will be required to rely on the most recent appraisal or updated appraisal conducted in accordance with the PSA within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such appraisal, on a new appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the master servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. If the trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and if such fees or costs are not reimbursed by such Interested Person within 30 days of demand of payment, such expense will be reimbursable to the trustee by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance; provided that the trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the trustee.

 

The special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder(s) (if applicable) and to sell each REO Property in the same manner as with respect to a Defaulted Loan.

 

 345

 

 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs, the special servicer will not be required to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan or REO Property if the special servicer determines (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event exists) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender). In addition, the special servicer may accept a lower offer (from any person other than itself or an affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender). The special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

An “Interested Person” as of any Determination Date, is the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, any sponsor, any Borrower Party, any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer or any known affiliate of any of the preceding entities, and, with respect to a Whole Loan if it is a Defaulted Loan, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer (or any independent contractor engaged by such special servicer), or the trustee for the securitization of a Companion Loan, and each related Companion Holder or its representative, any holder of a related mezzanine loan, or any known affiliate of any such party described above.

 

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement(s), if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the special servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the discussion in this “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” section, then the special servicer will be required to sell the related Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and will be required to require that all offers be submitted to the special servicer in writing. The special servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Pari Passu Companion Loan if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan, unless the special servicer complies with certain notice and delivery requirements set forth in the PSA. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”.

 

In addition, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if such Mortgage Loan has become a defaulted loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will generally have the right to sell such Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan as notes evidencing one whole loan. The issuing entity, as the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will have the right to consent to such sale, provided that the Non-Serviced Special Servicer may sell the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan without such consent if the required notices and information regarding such sale are provided to the issuing entity in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise such consent right so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will exercise such consent rights. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and the “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

In addition, with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, if a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, the special servicer (or, on or after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the special servicer under the related Servicing Shift PSA) will be required to sell such Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loans as notes evidencing one whole loan, in accordance with the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the PSA or the related Servicing Shift PSA, as the case may be.

 

 346

 

 

To the extent that Liquidation Proceeds collected with respect to any Mortgage Loan are less than the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) interest accrued on the Mortgage Loan and (3) the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursable expenses (including any (i) unpaid servicing compensation, (ii) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on all Advances and (iv) additional expenses of the issuing entity) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the issuing entity will realize a loss in the amount of the shortfall. The trustee, the master servicer and/or the special servicer will be entitled to reimbursement out of the Liquidation Proceeds recovered on any Mortgage Loan, prior to the distribution of those Liquidation Proceeds to Certificateholders, of any and all amounts that represent unpaid servicing compensation in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, certain unreimbursed expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any unreimbursed Advances (including interest on Advances) made with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, amounts otherwise distributable on the certificates will be further reduced by interest payable to the master servicer, the special servicer or trustee on these Advances.

Subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loans under the related Intercreditor Agreements as described under “—Rights of Holders of Companion Loans” below, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to advise (1) the special servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans other than any Excluded Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan and (2) the special servicer, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans other than any Excluded Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, as to all the Major Decisions for all Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded Loan), will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause and have certain other rights under the PSA, each as described below. With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required or for which the Directing Certificateholder has the right to direct the special servicer, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within 10 business days (or 5 business days if the Directing Certificateholder is an affiliate of the special servicer) following written request for input and all reasonably requested information on any required consent or direction, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have certain consultation rights only, and upon the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholders will not have any consent or consultation rights, as further described below.

 

The “Directing Certificateholder” will be (i) with respect to each of the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans, the related Loan Specific Directing Holder, and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans), the Controlling Class Certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time; provided, however, that

 

(1)       absent that selection, or

 

(2)       until a Directing Certificateholder is so selected, or

 

(3)       upon receipt of a notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated, the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) will be the Directing Certificateholder;

 

provided, however, that (i) in the case of this clause (3), in the event no one holder owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class, then there will be no Directing Certificateholder until appointed in accordance with the terms of the PSA, and (ii) the certificate administrator and the other

 

 347

 

 

parties to the PSA will be entitled to assume that the identity of the Directing Certificateholder has not changed until such parties receive written notice of a replacement of the Directing Certificateholder from a party holding the requisite interest in the Controlling Class, or the resignation of the then-current Directing Certificateholder.

 

The initial Directing Certificateholder is expected to be Barings LLC.

 

The “Loan Specific Directing Holder” means, prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the holder of the related Control Note, which is BSP with respect to the Carolina Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan. On or after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, there will be no Loan Specific Directing Holder under the PSA with respect to the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

A “Controlling Class Certificateholder” is each holder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) of a certificate of the Controlling Class as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time, upon request by any party to the PSA.

 

The “Controlling Class” will be, as of any date of determination, the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates then-outstanding that has an aggregate Certificate Balance (as notionally reduced by any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocable to such class) at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class; provided that if at any time the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of principal payments on the mortgage loans, then the Controlling Class will be the most subordinate class among the Control Eligible Certificates that has an aggregate Certificate Balance greater than zero without regard to any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The Controlling Class as of the Closing Date will be Class NR-RR certificates.

 

The “Control Eligible Certificates” will be any of the Class E-RR Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates.

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator, the trustee or any certificateholder may request that the certificate registrar determine which class of certificates is the then-current Controlling Class and the certificate registrar must thereafter provide such information to the requesting party. The depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder, may request that the certificate administrator provide, and the certificate administrator must so provide, a list of the holders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class at the expense of the trust. The trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer and the operating advisor may each rely on any such list so provided.

 

In the event that no Directing Certificateholder has been appointed or identified to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the certificate administrator and no such entity has been identified to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Certificateholder as the case may be.

 

Major Decisions

 

Except as otherwise described under “—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” and “—Servicing Override” below and subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement as described under “—Rights of Holders of Companion Loans” below, the special servicer will not be permitted to take (or to the extent contemplated in the fourth succeeding paragraph, consent to the master servicer taking) any of the following actions as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within 10 business days (or, if the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer are affiliates, 5 business days) after receipt of a written report by the special servicer describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances requiring action of the special servicer, (ii) proposed course of action recommended and (iii) all information

 

 348

 

 

reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and in the special servicer’s possession in order to grant or withhold such consent, which report may (in sole discretion of the special servicer) take the form of an Asset Status Report (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”) (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the special servicer within such 10 business day period, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action).

 

Each of the following, a “Major Decision”:

 

(i)       any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include acquisition of an REO Property) of the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loans as come into and continue in default;

 

(ii)       any modification, consent to a modification or waiver of any monetary term (other than late fees and default interest) or material non-monetary term (including, without limitation, the timing of payments and acceptance of discounted payoffs) of a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan or any extension of the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan other than in connection with a maturity default if a refinancing or sale is expected within 120 days as provided in clause (xv) of the definition of Master Servicer Decision;

 

(iii)     any sale of a Defaulted Loan (that is not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than in connection with the termination of the issuing entity as described under “—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”) or a Defaulted Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that the special servicer is permitted to sell in accordance with the PSA, in each case for less than the applicable Par Purchase Price;

 

(iv)      any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address hazardous material located at a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property;

 

(v)       any release of material collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan or any consent to either of the foregoing, other than if required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

 

(vi)       any waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan or any consent to such a waiver or consent to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property or interests in the borrower or consent to the incurrence of additional debt, other than any such transfer or incurrence of debt as described under clause (xiv) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” or as may be effected (I) without the consent of the lender under the related loan agreement, (II) pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan and (III) for which there is no lender discretion;

 

(vii)      consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of any material parcels of a Mortgaged Property or of any material income producing parcel or any condemnation that materially affects the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan when due;

 

(viii)     any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default;

 349

 

 

borrower following such change or (2) franchise changes (with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, in each case, for which the lender is required to consent or approve under the Mortgage Loan documents);

 

(x)      releases of any material amounts from any escrows, reserve accounts or letters of credit held as performance escrows or reserves with respect to certain Mortgage Loans identified on a schedule to the PSA, other than those required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan and for which there is no lender discretion; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing performance escrows (or reserves) or earn-out escrows (or reserves) do not include any upfront or on-going tenant improvement/leasing commission escrows;

 

(xi)     any acceptance of an assumption agreement or any other agreement permitting a transfer of interests in a borrower or guarantor releasing a borrower or guarantor from liability under a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan other than pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and for which there is no lender discretion;

 

(xii)    any exercise of a material remedy with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan following a default or event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents;

 

(xiii)    any modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement or any action to enforce rights with respect to the Mortgage Loan thereunder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and other than with respect to an amendment splitting any Pari Passu Companion Loan or any Subordinate Companion Loan), to the extent the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class or any affiliate thereof does not own any controlling interest (whether legally, beneficially or otherwise) in the related mezzanine loan, except that if any such modification or amendment would adversely impact the master servicer or special servicer, such modification or amendment will additionally require the consent of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as a condition to its effectiveness;

 

(xiv)     agreeing to any modification, waiver, consent or amendment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in connection with a defeasance if such proposed modification, waiver, consent or amendment is with respect to (A) a modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents such that defeasance collateral other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States would be permitted or (B) a modification that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the applicable loan documents do not otherwise permit such principal prepayment;

 

(xv)      approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way that materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a borrower’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan;

 

(xvi)     determining whether to cure any default by a borrower under a ground lease or permit any ground lease modification, amendment or subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement or entry into a new ground lease and grant approvals, including granting of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities that involve a ground lease and any leasing activities that affect an area greater than the lesser of (a) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (b) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property); and

 

(xvii)   any consent to incurrence of additional debt by a borrower or mezzanine debt by a direct or indirect parent of a borrower, to the extent the mortgagee’s approval is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

 350

 

 

For purposes of clause (x) of the definition of “Major Decisions” above and the determination of whether there exists any lender discretion under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, determining whether a debt service coverage ratio or debt yield test is satisfied in connection with any release of an escrow, reserve or letter of credit will not be considered lender discretion.

 

A “DSCR/DY Trigger” will have occurred for purposes of determining the existence of a Major Decision or Master Servicer Decision in connection with the approval of a change to the property management company at a Mortgaged Property (A) with respect to the debt service coverage ratio for such Mortgaged Property, if the most recent debt service coverage ratio for the related Mortgaged Property has decreased more than 10% from the debt service coverage ratio calculated 12 months prior to date on which the most recent debt service coverage ratio was determined and (B) with respect to the debt yield for such Mortgaged Property, if the most recent debt yield for the related Mortgaged Property has decreased more than 10% from the debt yield calculated 12 months prior to date on which the most recent debt yield was determined.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, the special servicer will be required to process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than any Non Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans. Further, upon receiving a request for any matter described in this section that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. With respect to a particular request, the master servicer will continue to cooperate with the special servicer by delivering to the special servicer any requested additional information in the master servicer’s possession and, to the extent mutually agreed by the master servicer and the special servicer, any reasonably requested analysis relating to such Major Decision. However, the special servicer will continue to interface with the borrower in connection with the processing and resolution of any particular Major Decision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer and special servicer may mutually agree, to the extent permitted under the PSA, that the master servicer will process a Major Decision (including interfacing with the borrower and providing a written recommendation and analysis to the special servicer and the Directing Certificateholder) with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent and the Directing Certificateholder’s consent.

 

Asset Status Report

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan. If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder will have no right to consult with the special servicer with respect to the Asset Status Reports. See “—Asset Status Report” above.

 

Replacement of Special Servicer

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause as described under “—Replacement of Special Servicer Without Cause” and “—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” below.

 

Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, but for so long as no

 

 351

 

 

Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the special servicer will not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but will be required to consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder would have been required or for which the Directing Certificateholder would have the right to direct the master servicer or the special servicer if no Control Termination Event had occurred and was continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the special servicer. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within 10 business days (or, if the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer are affiliates, 5 business days) following its written request for input on any required consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. With respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan (that is not also an Excluded Loan), if any, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) will be required to select an Excluded Special Servicer with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer.

 

Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the special servicer will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor promptly after the special servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval, deemed approval or objection to such Major Decision Reporting Package and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the special servicer will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor simultaneously with the special servicer’s written request for the operating advisor’s input regarding the Major Decision; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package will be required to be delivered (and the special servicer will use reasonable efforts not to deliver such Major Decision Reporting Package) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the special servicer to the operating advisor, the special servicer will be required to make available to the operating advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding any Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the operating advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest with respect to such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

 

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will also be required to consult with the operating advisor in connection with any Major Decision as to which it has delivered to the operating advisor a Major Decision Reporting Package (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the operating advisor in respect of such Major Decision; provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the operating advisor within 10 days following the later of (i) its written request for input on any required consultation (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the operating advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the operating advisor to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the operating advisor on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this prospectus, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the special servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult with the operating advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing or for which it must give its consent and consider alternative actions recommended by the

 

 352

 

 

operating advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PSA for consulting with the operating advisor.

 

If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred, no class of certificates will act as the Controlling Class, and the Directing Certificateholder will have no consultation or consent rights under the PSA and will have no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder under the PSA. The special servicer will nonetheless be required to consult with only the operating advisor in connection with Major Decisions, asset status reports and other material special servicing actions to the extent set forth in the PSA, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be recognized or have any right to approve or be consulted with respect to asset status reports or material special servicer actions.

 

A “Control Termination Event” will occur when the Class E-RR certificates have a Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) of less than 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class; provided that prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no Control Termination Event may occur with respect to the Loan Specific Directing Holder, and the term “Control Termination Event” will not be applicable to the Loan Specific Directing Holder; provided, further, that a Control Termination Event will not be deemed to be continuing in the event the Certificate Balances of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

A “Consultation Termination Event” will occur when  there is no class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a then-outstanding Certificate Balance at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class, in each case, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts; provided that prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, no Consultation Termination Event may occur with respect to a Loan Specific Directing Holder and the term “Consultation Termination Event” will not be applicable to such Loan Specific Directing Holder; provided, further, that a Consultation Termination Event will not be deemed to be continuing in the event the Certificate Balances of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero. With respect to any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan and a Control Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred and be continuing and a Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred, in each case, with respect to an Excluded Loan.

 

An “Operating Advisor Consultation Event” will occur when the Certificate Balances of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial Certificate Balances of such classes in the aggregate.

 

For a description of certain restrictions on any modification, waiver or amendment to the Mortgage Loan documents, see “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments” above.

 

Servicing Override

 

In the event that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect to any Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in the PSA (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor)) is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan), as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans and the subordinate nature of any Subordinate Companion Loans), the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor, as the case may be); provided that the special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the operating advisor, if applicable) with

 

 353

 

 

prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such action.

 

In addition, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer (i) will be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions or objections from the Directing Certificateholder or (ii) may follow any advice or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) that would (1) cause it to violate any applicable law, the related Mortgage Loan documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, the PSA, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC provisions, (2) expose the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the issuing entity or the trustee to liability, (3) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, under the PSA or (4) cause the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

Rights of Holders of Companion Loans

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the rights described above, but such rights, or rights substantially similar to those rights, will be exercisable by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder. The issuing entity, as the holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans, has consultation rights with respect to certain major decisions relating to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans or the Servicing Shift Whole Loan, as applicable, and, other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise such consultation rights of the issuing entity pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder may have certain consent rights in connection with a sale of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan that has become a defaulted loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

With respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan that is subject to a Pari Passu Companion Loan, the holder of the Pari Passu Companion Loan has consultation rights with respect to certain major decisions and consent rights in connection with the sale of such Serviced Whole Loan if it has become a Defaulted Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

 

Limitation on Liability of Directing Certificateholder

 

The Directing Certificateholder will not be liable to the issuing entity or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. However, the Directing Certificateholder will not be protected against any liability to the Controlling Class Certificateholders that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders.

 

Each Certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder:

 

(a)       may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

(b)       may act solely in the interests of the holders of the Controlling Class;

 

(c)       does not have any liability or duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the Controlling Class;

 

 354

 

 

(d)       may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates; and

 

(e)       will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in (a) – (d) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

 

The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder, which does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any law or the accepted servicing practices or the provisions of the PSA or the related Intercreditor Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the master servicer or the special servicer.

 

Each certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the controlling noteholders of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan or their respective designees (e.g. the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA) will have limitations on liability with respect to actions taken in connection with the related Mortgage Loan similar to the limitations of the Directing Certificateholder described above pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

The Operating Advisor

 

General

 

The operating advisor will act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in the PSA, and in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, and will have no fiduciary duty to any party.  The operating advisor’s duties will be limited to its specific duties under the PSA, and the operating advisor will have no duty or liability to any particular class of certificates or any Certificateholder or any third party. The operating advisor is not the special servicer or a sub-servicer and will not be charged with changing the outcome on any particular Specially Serviced Loan. Potential investors should be aware that there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Loan and that the goal of the operating advisor’s participation is to provide additional input relating to the special servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute.

 

Potential investors should note that the operating advisor is not an “advisor” for any purpose other than as specifically set forth in the PSA and is not an advisor to any person, including without limitation any Certificateholder. For the avoidance of doubt, the operating advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the PSA for this transaction with respect to the Non-Serviced Whole Loans (each of which will be serviced pursuant to a Non-Serviced PSA) or any related REO Properties. However, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC is also the operating advisor under the DBJPM 2017-C6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the JPMCC 2017-JP6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, in these capacities, will have certain obligations and consultation rights with respect to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer pursuant to the DBJPM 2017-C6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the JPMCC 2017-JP6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, that are substantially similar to those of the operating advisor under the PSA. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

Furthermore, the operating advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to review the actions of the master servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard. Except with respect to a waiver of the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee by the master servicer, the operating advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to consult with the master servicer.

Duties of Operating Advisor at All Times

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Whole Loan, the operating advisor’s obligations will generally consist of the following:

 

(a)      reviewing the actions of the special servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan to the extent described in this prospectus and required under the PSA;

 

(b)      reviewing (i) all reports by the special servicer made available to Privileged Persons on the certificate administrator’s website, and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report;

 

(c)      recalculating and reviewing for accuracy and consistency with the PSA mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with net present value calculations used in the special servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan, as described below; and

 

(d)      preparing an annual report (if any Mortgage Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) substantially in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C to be provided to the trustee, the master servicer, the Rating Agencies, the certificate administrator (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website), as described below under “—Annual Report” below.

 

In connection with the performance of the duties described in clause (c) above:

 

(i)       after the calculation has been finalized (and if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the special servicer), the special servicer will be required to deliver the foregoing calculations together with information and support materials (including such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the operating advisor;

 

(ii)      if the operating advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the operating advisor and special servicer will be required to consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement; and

 

(iii)      if the operating advisor and special servicer are not able to resolve such matters, the operating advisor will be required to promptly notify the certificate administrator and the certificate administrator will be required to examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the special servicer and the operating advisor and determine which calculation is to apply.

 

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the operating advisor’s review will be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports, calculations and materials described above (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the operating advisor), and, therefore, it will have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the special servicer may perform under the PSA and will have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the operating advisor’s review of net present value calculations as described above, the operating advisor’s recalculation will not take into account the reasonableness of special servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

 

The “Operating Advisor Standard” means the requirement that the operating advisor must act solely on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders and, with

 

 356

 

 

respect to any Serviced Whole Loan for the benefit of the holders of the related Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender), and not to holders of any particular class of certificates (as determined by the operating advisor in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment), and without regard to any conflict of interest arising from any relationship that the operating advisor or any of its affiliates may have with any of the underlying borrowers, property managers, any sponsor, the mortgage loan seller, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder, any Certificateholder or any of their affiliates. The operating advisor will perform its duties under the PSA in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

 

Annual Report

 

Based on the operating advisor’s review of (i) any Assessment of Compliance Report, any Attestation Report and other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website during the prior calendar year, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or Major Decision Reporting Package and (iii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package, the operating advisor will ((i) if any Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans at any time during the prior calendar year or (ii) if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) prepare an annual report substantially in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C to be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year that (a) sets forth whether the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the special servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the PSA with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on a “trust-level basis” and (b) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the special servicer has failed to comply and (2) any material deviations from the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event the special servicer is replaced, the operating advisor’s annual report will only relate to the entity that was acting as special servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such annual report. In preparing any operating advisor annual report, the operating advisor (i) will not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA that the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial and (ii) will not be required to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion.

 

Only as used in connection with the operating advisor’s annual report, the term “trust-level basis” refers to the special servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) under the PSA taking into account the special servicer’s specific duties under the PSA as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the operating advisor of any Assessment of Compliance Report, Attestation Report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report (during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), Final Asset Status Report, and any other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to the PSA.

 

The special servicer will be given an opportunity to review any annual report produced by the operating advisor at least five (5) days prior to such annual report’s delivery to the certificate administrator and the

 

 357

 

 

17g-5 Information Provider; provided that the operating advisor will have no obligation to adopt any comments to such annual report that are provided by the special servicer.

 

The ability to perform the duties of the operating advisor and the quality and the depth of any annual report will be dependent upon the timely receipt of information prepared or made available by others and the accuracy and the completeness of such information. In addition, in no event will the operating advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take, or refrain from taking, any action. It is possible that the lack of access to Privileged Information may limit or prohibit the operating advisor from performing its duties under the PSA, in which case any annual report will describe any resulting limitations and the operating advisor will not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The operating advisor will be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

 

Additional Duties of Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the operating advisor has received notice that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, in addition to the duties described above, the operating advisor will be required to perform the following additional duties:

 

to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer (telephonically or electronically) in respect of the Asset Status Reports in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, as described under “—Asset Status Report”; and

 

to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer to the extent it has received a Major Decision Reporting Package (telephonically or electronically) in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard with respect to Major Decisions processed by the special servicer or for which the consent of the special servicer is required as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”.

 

Recommendation of the Replacement of the Special Servicer

 

If at any time the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor may recommend the replacement of the special servicer and deliver a report supporting such recommendation in the manner described in “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”.

 

Eligibility of Operating Advisor

 

The operating advisor will be required to be an Eligible Operating Advisor at all times during the term of the PSA. “Eligible Operating Advisor” means an institution:

 

(i)       that is a special servicer or operating advisor on a CMBS transaction rated by the Rating Agencies (including, in the case of the operating advisor, this transaction) but has not been special servicer or operating advisor on a transaction for which any Rating Agency has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of, one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing concerns with the operating advisor in its capacity as special servicer or operating advisor on such CMBS transaction as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

 

(ii)      that can and will make the representations and warranties of the operating advisor set forth in the PSA;

 

(iii)      that is not (and is not risk retention affiliated with) the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, a mortgage loan seller, the Third Party

 

 358

 

 

Purchaser, the Directing Certificateholder, or a depositor, a trustee, a certificate administrator, a master servicer or special servicer with respect to the securitization of a Companion Loan, or any of their respective affiliates;

 

(iv)      that has not been paid by any special servicer or successor special servicer any fees, compensation or other remuneration (x) in respect of its obligations under the PSA or (y) for the appointment or recommendation for replacement of a successor special servicer to become the special servicer;

 

(v)       that (x) has been regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in CMBS matters and that has at least five years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (y) has at least five years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets; and

 

(vi)      that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own or have derivative exposure in any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer (to the extent it also acts as the asset representations reviewer).

 

Other Obligations of Operating Advisor

 

At all times, subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the operating advisor and its affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the special servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of any rights under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the transaction, except under the circumstances described below. As used in this prospectus, “Privileged Information” means (i) any correspondence between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer related to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) or the exercise of the Directing Certificateholder’s consent or consultation rights under the PSA, (ii) any strategically sensitive information (including, without limitation, any information contained within any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report) that the special servicer has labeled and reasonably determined could compromise the issuing entity’s position in any ongoing or future negotiations with the related borrower or other interested party and (iii) information subject to attorney-client privilege.

 

The operating advisor will be required to keep all such labeled Privileged Information confidential and will not be permitted to disclose such Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception, or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the operating advisor annual report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the operating advisor to replace the special servicer. Each party to the PSA that receives Privileged Information from the operating advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Excluded Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the operating advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or borrower involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the employees performing operating advisor functions for such other securitizations are not imputed to employees of the operating advisor involved in this securitization.

 

Privileged Information Exception” means, with respect to any Privileged Information, at any time (a) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a

 

 359

 

 

disclosure directly or indirectly by the party restricted from disclosing such Privileged Information (the “Restricted Party”), (b) it is reasonable and necessary for the Restricted Party to disclose such Privileged Information in working with legal counsel, auditors, arbitration parties, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (c) such Privileged Information was already known to such Restricted Party and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (d) the Restricted Party is (in the case of the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator and the trustee, based on advice of legal counsel), required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such information.

 

Delegation of Operating Advisor’s Duties

 

The operating advisor will be permitted to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA. However, the operating advisor will remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed by it under the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the operating advisor alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

 

Termination of the Operating Advisor With Cause

 

The following constitute operating advisor termination events under the PSA (each, an “Operating Advisor Termination Event”), whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

 

(a)      any failure by the operating advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA or to the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the holders of certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30 day period, the operating advisor will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30 day period and has provided the trustee and the certificate administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 

(b)      any failure by the operating advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given in writing to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

 

(c)      any failure by the operating advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given in writing to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

 

(d)      a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the operating advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(e)      the operating advisor consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the operating advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

 360

 

 

(f)       the operating advisor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

 

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on its internet website.

 

Rights Upon Operating Advisor Termination Event

 

After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the classes of certificates), the trustee will be required to, promptly terminate the operating advisor for cause and appoint a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination will be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the operating advisor under the PSA. The trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement operating advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the trustee is unable to find a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the operating advisor, the depositor will be permitted to find a replacement.

 

Upon any termination of the operating advisor and appointment of a successor operating advisor, the trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the special servicer, the master servicer, the certificate administrator, the depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (for any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), any Companion Loan noteholder, the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website).

 

Waiver of Operating Advisor Termination Event

 

The holders of certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event will be permitted to waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

 

Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause

 

After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the operating advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the operating advisor with a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders, (ii) payment by such requesting holders to the certificate administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the trustee of the Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such removal.

 

The certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard.

 

Upon the vote or written direction of holders of a majority of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to

 

 361

 

 

which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the trustee will immediately replace the operating advisor with the replacement operating advisor.

 

Resignation of the Operating Advisor

 

The operating advisor will be permitted to resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the asset representations reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder, if the operating advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its appointment as the replacement operating advisor and receipt by the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning operating advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning operating advisor must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Operating Advisor Compensation

 

Certain fees will be payable to the operating advisor, and the operating advisor will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”.

 

In the event the operating advisor resigns or is terminated for any reason it will remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees and reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses and any rights to indemnification provided under the PSA with respect to the period for which it acted as operating advisor.

 

The operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the operating advisor in the event that the operating advisor is terminated without cause. See “—Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause” above.

 

The Asset Representations Reviewer

 

Asset Review

 

Asset Review Trigger

 

On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on either the CREFC® delinquent loan status report or the CREFC® loan periodic update file delivered by the master servicer for such Distribution Date, the certificate administrator will be required to determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to the asset representations reviewer and to all Certificateholders in accordance with the terms of the PSA. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the certificate administrator, based on information provided to it by the master servicer, will be required to determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver written notice of such information (which may be via email) within 2 business days to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer. With respect to any determination of whether to commence an Asset Review, an “Asset Review Trigger” will occur when either (1) Mortgage Loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of 25.0% or more of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan in the case of a Whole Loan) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period are Delinquent Loans or (2)(A) prior to and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at least 10 Mortgage Loans are Delinquent Loans and the outstanding principal balance of such Delinquent Loans in the aggregate constitutes at least 15.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period, or (B) after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at least 15 Mortgage Loans are Delinquent Loans and the outstanding

 

 362

 

 

principal balance of such Delinquent Loans in the aggregate constitutes at least 20.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred a description of the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur.

 

We believe this Asset Review Trigger is appropriate considering the unique characteristics of pools of Mortgage Loans underlying CMBS. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool”. While we do not believe static pool information is relevant to CMBS transactions as a general matter, as a point of relative context, with respect to prior pools of commercial mortgage loans for which JPMCB (or its predecessors) was a sponsor in a public offering of CMBS with a securitization closing date on or after April 1, 2007, the highest percentage of loans (by outstanding principal balance) that were delinquent at least 60 days at the end of any reporting period between January 1, 2012 and June 30, 2017 was approximately 47.4%.

 

This pool of Mortgage Loans is not homogeneous or granular, and there are individual Mortgage Loans that each represent a significant percentage, by outstanding principal balance, of the Mortgage Pool. For example, the two (2) largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool represent 17.9% of the Initial Pool Balance. Given this Mortgage Pool composition and the fact that CMBS pools as a general matter include a small relative number of larger mortgage loans, we believe it would not be appropriate for the delinquency of the two (2) largest Mortgage Loans, in the case of this Mortgage Pool, to cause the Asset Review Trigger to be met, as that would not necessarily be indicative of the overall quality of the Mortgage Pool. On the other hand, a significant number of delinquent Mortgage Loans by loan count could indicate an issue with the quality of the Mortgage Pool. As a result, we believe it would be appropriate to have the alternative test as set forth in clause (2) of the definition of “Asset Review Trigger”, namely to have the Asset Review Trigger be met if Mortgage Loans representing a specified percentage of the Mortgage Loans (by loan count) are Delinquent Loans, assuming those mortgage loans still meet a minimum principal balance threshold. However, given the nature of commercial mortgage loans and the inherent risks of a delinquency based solely on market conditions, a static trigger based on the number of delinquent loans would reflect a lower relative risk of an Asset Review Trigger being triggered earlier in the transaction’s lifecycle for delinquencies that are based on issues unrelated to breaches or representations and warranties and would reflect a higher relative risk later in the transaction’s lifecycle. To address this, we believe the specified percentage should increase during the life of the transaction, as provided for in clause (2) of the Asset Review Trigger.

 

CMBS as an asset class has historically not had a large number of claims for, or repurchases based on, breaches of representations and warranties. While the Asset Review Trigger we have selected is less than this historical peak, we feel it remains at a level that avoids a trigger based on market variability while providing an appropriate threshold to capture delinquencies that may have resulted from an underlying deficiency in one or more mortgage loan seller’s Mortgage Loans that could be the basis for claims against those mortgage loan sellers based on breaches of the representations and warranties.

 

Delinquent Loan” means a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments or balloon payment, if any, in either case such delinquency to be determined without giving effect to any grace period.

 

Asset Review Vote

 

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the aggregate Voting Rights deliver to the certificate administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice of such direction to the asset representations reviewer and to all Certificateholders, and to conduct a solicitation of votes of Certificateholders to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review of Certificateholders evidencing at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the certificate administrator will be

 

 363

 

 

required to promptly provide written notice of such Affirmative Asset Review Vote to all parties to the PSA, the underwriters, the mortgage loan sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the Certificateholders. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an additional Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or otherwise is in effect, (C) the certificate administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) above and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) above. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the issuing entity from the Collection Account.

 

An “Asset Review Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes to authorize an Asset Review as described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 5% of the aggregate Voting Rights.

 

Review Materials

 

Upon receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the custodian (with respect to clauses (i) – (v) for all Mortgage Loans), the master servicer (with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) for non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, will be required to promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days (except with respect to clause (vii)) after receipt of such notice from the certificate administrator, provide or make available, the following materials to the asset representations reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the prospectus, a copy of each related MLPA and a copy of the PSA, the “Review Materials”):

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(vi)       a copy of any notice previously delivered by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

 

(vii)      any other related documents that are reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer to be delivered by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, in the time frames and as otherwise described below.

 

In the event that, as part of an Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan, the asset representations reviewer determines that the Review Materials provided to it with respect to any Mortgage Loan are missing any document delivered in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan that are necessary to review and assess one or more documents comprising the Diligence File in connection with its completion of any Test, the asset representations reviewer will promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days

 

 364

 

 

after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing documents, and request that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after receipt of such notification from the asset representations reviewer, deliver to the asset representations reviewer such missing documents to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, within such 10-business day period, the asset representations reviewer will request such documents from the related mortgage loan seller. The mortgage loan seller will be required under the related MLPA to deliver such additional documents only to the extent in the possession of such party.

 

In addition, with respect to any Delinquent Loan, that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the extent any documents required by the asset representations reviewer to complete a Test are missing or have not been received from the related mortgage loan seller, the asset representations reviewer will request such document(s) from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Master Servicer) or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer (if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is being serviced by a Non-Serviced Special Servicer).

 

The asset representations reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a person that is not a party to the PSA or the related mortgage loan seller, and will do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the asset representations reviewer) and is determined by the asset representations reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”), as described below.

 

Asset Review

 

Upon its receipt of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence File posted to the secure data room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the asset representations reviewer, as an independent contractor, will be required to commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). An Asset Review of each Delinquent Loan will consist of the application of a set of pre-determined review procedures (the “Tests”) for each representation and warranty made by the related mortgage loan seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review will be required of or performed on that Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or become a Delinquent Loan again at the time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such Asset Review Trigger.

 

Asset Review Standard” means the performance of the asset representations reviewer of its duties under the PSA in good faith subject to the express terms of the PSA. All determinations or assumptions made by the asset representations reviewer in connection with an Asset Review are required to be made in the asset representations reviewer’s good faith discretion and judgment based on the facts and circumstances known to it at the time of such determination or assumption.

 

No Certificateholder will have the right to change the scope of the asset representations reviewer’s review, and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (i) the Review Materials and (ii) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

 

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

 

The asset representations reviewer will be required to prepare a preliminary report with respect to each Delinquent Loan within 40 business days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided to the asset representations reviewer by the certificate administrator unless the asset representations reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, in which case no preliminary report will be required. In the event that the asset representations reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing

 

 365

 

 

documentation is not delivered to the asset representations reviewer by the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s possession or by the related mortgage loan seller within 10 business days following the request by the asset representations reviewer as described above, the asset representations reviewer will list such missing documents in such preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the asset representations reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The asset representations reviewer will provide such preliminary report to the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and the related mortgage loan seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the mortgage loan seller will have 90 days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents provided or explanations given to support the mortgage loan seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test will be required to be promptly delivered by the related mortgage loan seller to the asset representations reviewer.

 

The asset representations reviewer will be required, within 60 days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided to the asset representations reviewer by the certificate administrator or within 10 days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), to complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to the PSA and the related mortgage loan seller for each Delinquent Loan, and (ii) a summary of the asset representations reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the trustee and certificate administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 30 days, upon written notice to the parties to the PSA and the related mortgage loan seller, if the asset representations reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event will the asset representations reviewer be required to determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the issuing entity should enforce any rights it may have against the related mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners CRE Conduit Company, L.P. or Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC, as applicable, as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC and Starwood Mortgage Funding VI LLC, respectively), which, in each such case, will be the responsibility of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below. In addition, in the event that the asset representations reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related mortgage loan seller in sufficient time to allow the asset representations reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the asset representations reviewer will be required to prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the asset representations reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the asset representations reviewer will have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to the PSA or otherwise. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator (i) include the Asset Review Report Summary in the Distribution Report on Form 10–D relating to the distribution period in which such Asset Review Report Summary was received, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the certificate administrator’s website not later than 2 business days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the asset representations reviewer.

 

Eligibility of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer will be required to represent and warrant in the PSA that it is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to be at all times an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If the asset representations reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the asset representations reviewer is required to immediately notify the

 

 366

 

 

master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under the PSA as described under the “—Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer” below.

 

An “Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer” is an institution that (i) is the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction rated by any of DBRS, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC or S&P Global Ratings and that has not been a special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction for which DBRS, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC or S&P Global Ratings has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of, one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing or other relevant concerns with the special servicer, the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, (ii) can and will make the representations and warranties of the asset representations reviewer set forth in the PSA, (iii) is not (and is not risk retention affiliated with) any mortgage loan seller, the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the third party purchaser, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, (iv) has neither performed (and is not affiliated with any party hired to perform) any due diligence, loan underwriting, brokerage, borrower advisory or similar services with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan prior to the Closing Date for or on behalf of any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, any underwriter, any party to the PSA or the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, nor been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by any of them in connection with any such services and (v) that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as asset representations reviewer (or as operating advisor, if applicable) and except as otherwise set forth in the PSA.

 

Other Obligations of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer and its affiliates are required to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from any party to the PSA or any sponsor under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to the PSA that receives such Privileged Information from the asset representations reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

 

Neither the asset representations reviewer nor any of its affiliates may make any investment in any class of certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition will not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer affiliate of the asset representations reviewer or (ii) investments by an affiliate of the asset representations reviewer if the asset representations reviewer and such affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA from personnel involved in such affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the issuing entity and the asset representations reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

Delegation of Asset Representations Reviewer’s Duties

 

The asset representations reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA, however, the asset representations reviewer will remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required in accordance with the provisions of the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting

 

 367

 

 

as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the asset representations reviewer alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

 

Assignment of Asset Representations Reviewer’s Rights and Obligations

 

The asset representations reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under the PSA in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its asset representations reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of the asset representations reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under the PSA, (B) executes and delivers to the trustee and the certificate administrator an agreement that contains an assumption by such person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the asset representations reviewer under the PSA from and after the date of such agreement and (C) is not be a prohibited party under the PSA; (ii) the asset representations reviewer will not be released from its obligations under the PSA that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which each of the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning asset representations reviewer will be required to be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee will be required to provide notice to each party to the PSA and then will be the successor asset representations reviewer hereunder.

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Events

 

The following constitute asset representations reviewer termination events under the PSA (each, an “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event”) whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

 

(i)       any failure by the asset representations reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by the trustee or to the asset representations reviewer and the trustee by the holders of certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights;

 

(ii)       any failure by the asset representations reviewer to perform its obligations set forth in the PSA in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

 

(iii)      any failure by the asset representations reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

 

(iv)       a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered against the asset representations reviewer, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(v)       the asset representations reviewer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling

 

 368

(vi)       the asset representations reviewer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

 

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of written notice (which will be simultaneously delivered to the asset representations reviewer) of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the certificate administrator has received notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied.

 

Rights Upon Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event

 

If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event occurs, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has not been remedied, then either the trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) will be required to, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by written notice to the asset representations reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to bear all costs and expenses of each other party to the PSA in connection with its termination for cause.

 

Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer Without Cause

 

Upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the asset representations reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote, the certificate administrator will promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mailing to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer. Upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the asset representations reviewer, and the proposed successor asset representations reviewer will be appointed.

 

In the event that holders of the certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum elect to remove the asset representations reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

 

Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer may at any time resign by giving written notice to the other parties to the PSA and each Rating Agency. In addition, the asset representations reviewer will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer by giving written notice to the other parties. Upon such notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the asset representations reviewer will be effective until a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor asset representations reviewer has been so appointed and accepted the

 

 369

 

 

appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning asset representations reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The resigning asset representations reviewer must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

 

Certain fees will be payable to the asset representations reviewer, and the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

 

Replacement of Special Servicer Without Cause

 

Except as limited by certain conditions described in this prospectus and subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the special servicer may generally be replaced, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, at any time and without cause, by the Directing Certificateholder so long as, among other things, the Directing Certificateholder appoints a replacement special servicer that meets the requirements of the PSA, including that the trustee and the certificate administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and that such replacement special servicer may not be the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such termination incurred by the Directing Certificateholder without cause (including the costs of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation) will be paid by the holders of the Controlling Class.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the special servicer with a new special servicer, (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote (which fees and expenses will not be additional trust fund expenses), and (iii) delivery by such holders to the certificate administrator and the trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (such Rating Agency Confirmation will be obtained at the expense of those holders of certificates requesting such vote), the certificate administrator will be required to post notice of the same on the certificate administrator’s website and concurrently by mail and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard, which such vote must occur within 180 days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 50% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders, subject to indemnification, right to outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA, which survive such termination. The certificate administrator will include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices via the certificate administrator’s website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

 

A “Certificateholder Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes in connection with the replacement of the special servicer or the asset representations reviewer described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Realized Losses and, other than with respect to the termination of the asset representations reviewer, the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the special servicer obtains knowledge that it is a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, an “Excluded Special Servicer Loan”), the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination

 

 370

 

 

Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder or the Controlling Class Certificateholder on its behalf will be required to select a successor special servicer that is not a Borrower Party in accordance with the terms of the PSA (the “Excluded Special Servicer”) for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The special servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It will be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then current ratings of the certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the depositor and the certificate administrator and any applicable depositor and applicable certificate administrator of any other securitization, if applicable, that contains a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the special servicer is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property) with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer will be required to resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the special servicer will become the special servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the special servicer will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan; provided, however, that the related Excluded Special Servicer will not be required to resign if the Directing Certificateholder determines that such Excluded Special Servicer may continue to serve as special servicer for the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the special servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

 

A “Qualified Replacement Special Servicer” is a replacement special servicer that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers in the PSA, (ii) is not the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or an affiliate of the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer (and, if appointed by the Directing Certificateholder or with the approval of the requisite vote of certificateholders following the operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer as described in “—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote” below, is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate), (iii) is not obligated to pay the operating advisor (x) any fees or otherwise compensate the operating advisor in respect of its obligations under the PSA, or (y) for the appointment of the successor special servicer or the recommendation by the operating advisor for the replacement special servicer to become the special servicer, (iv) is not entitled to receive any compensation from the operating advisor other than compensation that is not material and is unrelated to the operating advisor’s recommendation that such party be appointed as the replacement special servicer, (v) is not entitled to receive any fee from the operating advisor for its appointment as successor special servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders, (vi) (A) confirms in writing that it was appointed to act as, and currently serves as, special servicer on a transaction level basis on the closing date of a commercial mortgage loan securitization with respect to which Moody’s rated one or more classes of certificates and one or more of such classes of certificates are still outstanding and rated by Moody’s and (B) is not a special servicer that has been publicly cited by Moody’s as having servicing concerns 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

 

 371

 

 

withdrawal) of securities in a transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, (vii) currently has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, and (viii) is currently acting as a special servicer in a transaction rated by DBRS and has not been publicly cited by DBRS as having servicing concerns as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination.

 

Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote

 

If the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the special servicer. In such event, the operating advisor will be required to deliver to the trustee and the certificate administrator, with a copy to the special servicer, a written report detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). The certificate administrator will be required to notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post the related report on the certificate administrator’s internet website, and to conduct the solicitation of votes with respect to such recommendation. Approval by the Certificateholder of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement, so long as such replacement is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate.

 

The operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the holders of Certificates that (i) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (ii) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not risk retention affiliated with each other). In the event the holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of certificateholders elect to remove and replace the special servicer (which requisite affirmative votes must be received within 180 days of the posting of the notice of the operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer to the certificate administrator’s website), the certificate administrator will be required to receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies at that time. In the event the certificate administrator receives a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and the successor special servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of the PSA), the trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and to appoint the successor special servicer approved by the holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders, provided such successor special servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, subject to the terminated special servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA that survive termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering the vote of the applicable holders of the Certificates and the operating advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will be an additional trust fund expense.

 

In any case, the trustee will notify the outgoing special servicer promptly of the effective date of its termination. Any replacement special servicer recommended by the operating advisor must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer.

 

No appointment of a special servicer will be effective until the depositor or the certificate administrator has filed any required Exchange Act filings related to the removal and replacement of the special servicer.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer may be removed, and a successor special servicer appointed at any time by the related Non-Serviced Directing

 

 372

 

 

Certificateholder appointed under the related Non-Serviced PSA (and not by the Directing Certificateholder for this transaction) to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement for such Non-Serviced Whole Loans. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause

 

Servicer Termination Events

 

A “Servicer Termination Event” under the PSA with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, will include, without limitation:

 

(a)       (i) any failure by the master servicer to make a required deposit to the Collection Account or remit to the companion paying agent for deposit into the related Companion Distribution Account on the day and by the time such deposit or remittance was first required to be made, which failure is not remedied within one business day, or (ii) any failure by the master servicer to deposit into, or remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into, the Distribution Account any amount required to be so deposited or remitted, which failure is not remedied by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant Distribution Date;

 

(b)       any failure by the special servicer to deposit into the REO Account within one business day after the day such deposit is required to be made, or to remit to the master servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, or any other account required under the PSA, any such deposit or remittance required to be made by the special servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified by, the PSA;

 

(c)       any failure by the master servicer or the special servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for 30 days (or (i) with respect to any year that a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed, 5 business days in the case of the master servicer’s or special servicer’s, as applicable, obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting required under the PSA and compliance with Regulation AB, (ii) 15 days in the case of the master servicer’s failure to make a Servicing Advance or (iii) 15 days in the case of a failure to pay the premium for any property insurance policy required to be maintained under the PSA) after written notice of the failure has been given to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, by any other party to the PSA, or to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, with a copy to each other party to the related PSA, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of all Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan if affected by that failure, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that failure is capable of being cured and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, such period will be extended an additional 30 days; provided, further, however, that such extended period will not apply to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting;

 

(d)       any breach on the part of the master servicer or the special servicer of any representation or warranty in the PSA that materially and adversely affects the interests of any class of Certificateholders or holders of any Serviced Companion Loan and that continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of that breach, requiring the same to be remedied, will have been given to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, by the depositor, the certificate administrator or the trustee, or to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan affected by such breach, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that breach is capable of being cured and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, that 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

 

(e)       certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings in respect of or relating to the master servicer or the special servicer, and certain actions by or on behalf of the master servicer or the special servicer indicating its insolvency or inability to pay its obligations;

 

 373

 

 

(f)       either of Moody’s or DBRS (i) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates, or (ii) has placed one or more classes of certificates on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by Moody’s or DBRS within 60 days of such event) and, in the case of either of clauses (i) or (ii), publicly citing servicing concerns with the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action; or

 

(g)       the master servicer or the special servicer is no longer rated at least “CMS3” or “CSS3”, respectively, by Fitch and such master servicer or special servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting.

 

Rights Upon Servicer Termination Event

 

If a Servicer Termination Event occurs with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer under the PSA, then, so long as the Servicer Termination Event remains unremedied, the depositor or the trustee will be authorized, and at the written direction of Certificateholders entitled to 25% of the Voting Rights or, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the special servicer and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the defaulting party as master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be; provided, however, that rights in respect of indemnification, entitlement to be paid any outstanding servicing or special servicing compensation and entitlement to reimbursement of amounts due will survive such termination under the PSA. The trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may (or, at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to 25% of the Voting Rights, or, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, it will be required to) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a loan servicing institution or other entity, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, that has been approved by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, none of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor and their respective affiliates may be appointed as a successor master servicer or special servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section described above, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the special servicer remains unremedied and affects the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and the special servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if applicable, the related trustee, acting at the direction of the related directing certificateholder (or similar entity)) will be entitled to direct the trustee to terminate the special servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the trustee or, prior to a Control Termination Event, by the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be the person (or an affiliate of such person) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, without the prior written consent of such holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section described above, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and such Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the trustee (or, prior to a Control Termination Event, the trustee acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will generally be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate such Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan(s), and a successor will be appointed in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

 374

 

 

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section described above, if the master servicer receives notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event described in clauses (f) or (g)  under “—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, and prior to being replaced as described in the third preceding paragraph, the master servicer will have 45 days after receipt of the notice of termination to find, and sell its rights and obligations to, a successor master servicer that meets the requirements of a master servicer under the PSA; provided that the Rating Agencies have each provided a Rating Agency Confirmation. The termination of the master servicer will be effective when such successor master servicer has succeeded the terminated master servicer, as successor master servicer and such successor master servicer has assumed the terminated master servicer’s servicing obligations and responsibilities under the PSA. If a successor has not entered into the PSA as successor master servicer within 45 days after notice of the termination of the master servicer, the master servicer will be replaced by the trustee as described above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan, and if the master servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan, then the master servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

 

Further, if replaced as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, will be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Waiver of Servicer Termination Event

 

The Certificateholders representing at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event may waive such Servicer Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (a), (b), (f) or (g)  of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected classes and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (c) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” relating to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

 

Resignation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

 

The PSA permits the master servicer and the special servicer to resign from their respective obligations only upon (a) the appointment of, and the acceptance of the appointment by, a successor and receipt by the certificate administrator and the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Serviced Companion Loan (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation required under the PSA may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus); and, as to the special servicer only, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the approval of such successor by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or (b) a determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, under applicable law. In the event that the master servicer or special servicer resigns as a result of the determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible under applicable

 

 375

 

 

law, the trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the resigning party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a loan servicing institution or other entity, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies.

 

No resignation will become effective until the trustee or other successor has assumed the obligations and duties of the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA. Further, the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties. Other than as described under “—Termination of Master Servicer and Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, in no event will the master servicer or the special servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to the PSA. In addition, the PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor or one of their respective affiliates as successor to the master servicer or the special servicer.

 

Limitation on Liability; Indemnification

 

The PSA will provide that none of the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be under any liability to the issuing entity, Certificateholders or holders of the related Companion Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to the PSA or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that none of the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or similar person will be protected against any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties under the PSA or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. The PSA will also provide that the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any legal action or claim that relates to the PSA, the Mortgage Loans, any related Companion Loan or the certificates; provided, however, that the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense specifically required to be borne by such party pursuant to the terms of the PSA, incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties under the PSA, by reason of negligent disregard of such party’s obligations or duties, or in the case of the depositor and any of its partners, shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law. In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator (including in its capacity as custodian) will be liable for special, punitive, 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 has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. The PSA will also provide that any related master servicer, depositor, special servicer, operating advisor (or the equivalent), certificate administrator, asset representations reviewer or trustee under any Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of them and the applicable Non-Serviced Securitization Trust will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity and held harmless against the issuing entity’s pro rata share of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related non-serviced Mortgaged Property (or with respect to the operating advisor and/or asset representations reviewer, incurred in connection with the provision of services for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under the related Non-Serviced PSA or the PSA (as and to the same extent the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA is required to indemnify

 

 376

 

 

such parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA).

 

In addition, the PSA will provide that none of the depositor, the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loans), the special servicer, the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer will be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law), proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective responsibilities under the PSA or that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not reimbursed by the issuing entity. However, each of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer will be permitted, in the exercise of its discretion, to undertake any action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties to the PSA and the interests of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole), taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans and the subordinate nature of any Subordinate Companion Loans) under the PSA; provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan and/or the holder of the related Companion Loan are involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in the Collection Account if amounts on deposit with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient therefor. If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the issuing entity for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In that event, the legal expenses and costs of the action, and any liability resulting from the action, will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the issuing entity, and the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loans), the special servicer, the depositor, the asset representations reviewer or the operating advisor, as the case may be, will be entitled to be reimbursed out of the Collection Account for the expenses.

 

Pursuant to the PSA, the master servicer and the special servicer will each be required to maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy or their equivalent that provides coverage against losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors and omissions, subject to certain limitations as to amount of coverage, deductible amounts, conditions, exclusions and exceptions permitted by the PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer and the special servicer will be allowed to self-insure with respect to an errors and omissions policy and a fidelity bond so long as certain conditions set forth in the PSA are met.

 

Any person into which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor, asset representations reviewer may be merged or consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer is a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, will be the successor of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, as the case may be, under the PSA. The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer may have other normal business relationships with the depositor or the depositor’s affiliates.

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the PSA (other than as to it being a valid obligation of the trustee and the certificate administrator), the certificates, the Mortgage Loans, this prospectus (other than as to the accuracy of the information provided by the trustee and the certificate administrator as set forth above) or any related documents and will not be accountable for the use or application by or on behalf of the master servicer or the special servicer of any funds paid to the master servicer or any special servicer in respect of the certificates or the Mortgage Loans, or any funds deposited into or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the master servicer or any special servicer. The PSA provides that no provision of such agreement will be construed to relieve the trustee and the certificate administrator from liability for their own negligent action, their own negligent failure to act or their own willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

 377

 

 

The PSA provides that neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer of the trustee or the certificate administrator, unless it is proven that the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. In addition, neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of holders of certificates entitled to greater than 25% of the percentage interest of each affected class, or of the aggregate Voting Rights of the certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee and the certificate administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee and the certificate administrator, under the PSA (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the trustee and the certificate administrator, will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity, to the extent of amounts held in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account from time to time, for any loss, liability, damages, claims or unanticipated expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or incurred by the trustee or the certificate administrator in connection with their participation in the transaction and any act or omission of the trustee or the certificate administrator relating to its enforcement of its indemnification under the PSA or relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the trustee and the certificate administrator (including in any capacities in which they serve, e.g., paying agent, REMIC administrator, authenticating agent, custodian, certificate registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) under the PSA. However, the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense that constitutes a specific liability imposed on the trustee or the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, or to any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence on the part of the trustee or the certificate administrator in the performance of their obligations and duties under the PSA, or by reason of their negligent disregard of those obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or warranty of the trustee or the certificate administrator made in the PSA.

 

The rights and protections afforded to the certificate administrator as set forth above and under the PSA will also apply to the custodian.

 

Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA

 

In the event the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator or the operating advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) receives a request or demand from a Requesting Investor to the effect that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, or if such party to the PSA determines that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, that party to the PSA will be required to promptly forward such request or demand to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, which will in turn be required to promptly forward it to the applicable mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to enforce the obligations of the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs pursuant to the terms of the PSA and the MLPAs. These obligations include obligations resulting from a Material Defect. Subject to the provisions of the applicable MLPA relating to the dispute resolutions as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, will be required to be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan.

 

Within 45 days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) will be required to determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) determines that a Material Defect exists, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to enforce the obligations of the applicable mortgage loan seller under the MLPA with respect to such Material Defect as discussed in the preceding paragraph. See “—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” above.

 

 378

 

 

Any costs incurred by the master servicer or the special servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a mortgage loan seller under the applicable MLPA will be deemed to be Servicing Advances, to the extent not recovered from the mortgage loan seller or the Requesting Investor. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”.

 

Dispute Resolution Provisions

 

Certificateholder’s Rights When a Repurchase Request is Initially Delivered By a Certificateholder

 

In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to the PSA that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable mortgage loan seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), the receiving party will be required to promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the master servicer and the special servicer. The master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will then be required to promptly forward that Repurchase Request to the related mortgage loan seller and each other party to the PSA. An “Initial Requesting Certificateholder” is the first Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request as described above with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and there may not be more than one Initial Requesting Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Subject to the provisions described below under this heading “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, the Enforcing Servicer will be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Repurchase Request.

 

The “Enforcing Servicer” will be (a) with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer, and (b) with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan, (i) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, the master servicer, and (ii) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by any person other than the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, (A) prior to a Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer, and (B) from and after a Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer.

 

An “Enforcing Party” is the person obligated to enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request.

 

Repurchase Request Delivered by a Party to the PSA

 

In the event that the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator or the operating advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) obtains knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party will be required to deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to the PSA, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and, either a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase Request”) and the Enforcing Servicer will be required to promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request. However, if a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply.

 

In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the mortgage loan seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request will be deemed to occur 2 business days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related mortgage loan seller. “Resolved” means, with respect to a Repurchase Request, (i) that the related Material Defect has been cured, (ii) the related Mortgage Loan has been repurchased in accordance with the related MLPA, (iii) a mortgage loan has been substituted for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related MLPA, (iv) the applicable mortgage loan seller has made the Loss of Value Payment, (v) a contractually binding agreement is entered into between the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, and the related mortgage loan seller that settles the related mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the related MLPA or (vi) the related

 

 379

 

 

Mortgage Loan is no longer property of the issuing entity as a result of a sale or other disposition in accordance with the PSA.

 

Resolution of a Repurchase Request

 

Within 2 business days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request made by any party other than the special servicer or a Certificateholder Repurchase Request made by any Certificateholder other than the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, in each case, related to a non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the special servicer indicating the master servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such PSA Party Repurchase Request. The master servicer will also be required to deliver to the special servicer the servicing file and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the master servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the master servicer, and reasonably requested by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA for such non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such servicing file and other material, the special servicer will become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such PSA Party Repurchase Request.

 

After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or by a party to the PSA), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, at the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the certificate administrator. The certificate administrator will be required to make the Proposed Court of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners by posting such notice on the certificate administrator’s website indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Proposed Course of Action”). If the master servicer is the Enforcing Servicer, the master servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the special servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred) the Directing Certificateholder regarding any Proposed Course of Action.

 

The Proposed Course of Action Notice will be required to include:

 

(a)       a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action, by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration,

 

(b)       a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer will be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures described below relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Notices,

 

(c)       a statement that the responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response,

 

(d)       a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and

 

(e)       instructions for the responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the applicable Enforcing Servicer and the certificate administrator.

 

Within 15 business days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, the certificate administrator will be required to tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the

 

 380

 

 

Enforcing Servicer. The certificate administrator will only count responses timely received and clearly indicating agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language will not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The certificate administrator will be under no obligation to answer any questions from the Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the certificate administrator’s obligations in connection with this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will be limited solely to tabulating the Certificateholders’ responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation will not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the certificate administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the certificate administrator’s tabulation of the majority of the responding Certificateholders.

 

If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, as discussed below under “—Mediation and Arbitration Provisions”, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the certificate administrator’s website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of responding Certificateholders.

 

If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, will be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder.

 

Promptly and in any event within 10 business days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (i) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (ii) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than 10 business days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer will be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than 5 business days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

 

 381

 

 

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

 

If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder will become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there are more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of the PSA within 30 days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party will terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer will take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect will be deemed waived for all purposes under the PSA and the related MLPA; provided, however, that such Material Defect will not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party or that should have been known to such party with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the certificate administrator’s website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer will again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, will be the sole party entitled to enforce the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described under this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer will remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

 

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, will remain a party to any proceedings against the related mortgage loan seller. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the depositor, the mortgage loan seller with respect to the subject mortgage loan or and any of their respective affiliates will be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this “—Dispute Resolution Provisions” heading.

 

Mediation and Arbitration Provisions

 

If the Enforcing Party elects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, the mediation or arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration or mediation organization selected by the related mortgage loan seller within 30 days of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation or arbitration, as the case may be. A single mediator or arbitrator will be selected by the mediation or arbitration organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to its mediation or arbitration rules then in effect. The mediator or arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and either commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions.

 

 382

 

 

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

 

In any arbitration, the arbitrator will be required to resolve the dispute in accordance with the MLPA and PSA, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive or consequential damages. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration to the parties to the arbitration in its reasonable discretion. In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder will be required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

 

The final determination of the arbitrator will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be entered and enforced in any court with jurisdiction over the parties and the matter. By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party would be waiving its right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

 

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will be required under the PSA to contain an acknowledgment that the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, will be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party will be required to be paid to the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the issuing entity nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf will be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

 

The issuing entity (or the Enforcing Servicer or the trustee, acting on its behalf), the depositor or any mortgage loan seller will be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings will be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such proceedings; provided however, the Certificateholders will be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent described under “Description of the Certificates—Certificateholder Communication”.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

 

Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration will be reimbursable as trust fund expenses.

 

Servicing of the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan

 

The servicing of the Servicing Shift Whole Loan is expected to be governed by the PSA only temporarily, until the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date. From and after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced by the master servicer and special servicer under the related Servicing Shift PSA pursuant to the terms of such Servicing Shift PSA. Although the related Intercreditor Agreements impose some requirements regarding the terms of the Servicing Shift PSA (and it is expected that such Servicing Shift PSA will contain servicing provisions similar to, but not identical with, the provisions of the PSA), the securitizations to which the related Controlling Companion Loans are to be contributed have not been determined, and accordingly, the servicing terms of such Servicing Shift PSA is unknown. In addition, while the Apex Fort Washington Whole Loan is currently governed by the JPMCC 2017-JP6 PSA, it will be governed by a Servicing Shift PSA on and after the

 

 383

 

 

related Servicing Shift Securitization Date. See “Risk Factors—The Servicing of Servicing Shift Whole Loans Will Shift to Other Servicers”, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the master servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

General

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”.

 

The servicing terms of each such Non-Serviced PSA (other than the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement, which are described below) will be similar in all material respects to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects. For example:

 

Each Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to service the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to a servicing standard set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA that is substantially similar to, but may not be identical to, the Servicing Standard.

 

Any party to the related Non-Serviced PSA that makes a property protection advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be entitled to reimbursement for that advance, with interest at the prime rate, in a manner substantially similar to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such advance reimbursement amounts (including out of general collections on the JPMCC 2017-JP7 mortgage pool, if necessary).

 

Pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are similar to the corresponding fees payable under the PSA; provided, that with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the liquidation fee payable to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in the event of a liquidation of the related Whole Loan is 0.50% of the net liquidation proceeds, and the workout fee payable to such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in the event of a workout of the related Whole Loan is 0.50% of each applicable payment.

 

The extent to which modification fees or other fee items with respect to the related Whole Loan may be applied to offset interest on advances, servicer expenses and servicing compensation will, in certain circumstances, be less than is the case under the PSA.

 

Items with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are the equivalent of assumption application fees, defeasance fees, assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, late payment charges, default interest and/or modification fees and that constitute additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA will not be payable to master servicers or special servicers under the PSA and one or more of such items will be allocated between the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the

 

 384

 

 

related Non-Serviced PSA in proportions that may be different than the allocation of similar fees under the PSA between the master servicers and special servicers for this transaction.

 

The Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA will have rights substantially similar to the Directing Certificateholder under the PSA with respect to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, including consenting to the substantial equivalent of Major Decisions under such Non-Serviced PSA proposed by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer and reviewing and consenting to asset status reports prepared by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. “Major Decisions” under the related Non-Serviced PSA will differ in certain respects from those actions that constitute Major Decisions under the PSA, and therefore the specific types of servicer actions with respect to which the applicable Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will be permitted to consent will correspondingly differ. The related Non-Serviced PSA also provides for the removal of the applicable special servicer by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA under certain conditions that are similar to the conditions under which the Directing Certificateholder is permitted to replace the special servicers under the PSA.

 

The termination events that will result in the termination of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer are substantially similar to, but not identical to, the Servicer Termination Events under the PSA applicable to the master servicers and special servicers, as applicable.

 

Servicing transfer events under the related Non-Serviced PSA that would cause the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan to become specially serviced will be substantially similar to, but not identical to, the corresponding provisions under the PSA.

 

The servicing decisions which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer will perform, and in certain cases for which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer must obtain the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder’s or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s consent, differ in certain respects from those decisions that constitute Master Servicer Decisions under the PSA.

 

The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is required to take actions with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan if it becomes the equivalent of a defaulted mortgage loan, which actions are substantially similar, but not necessarily identical, to the actions described under “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

 

Appraisal reduction amounts in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be calculated by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in a manner substantially similar to, but not necessarily identical to, calculations of such amounts by the applicable special servicer under the PSA in respect of Serviced Mortgage Loans.

 

The requirement of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to make compensating interest payments in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is similar, but not necessarily identical, to the requirement of the applicable master servicer to make Compensating Interest Payments in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans under the PSA.

 

The servicing provisions under the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to performing inspections and collecting operating information are substantially similar but not necessarily identical to those of the PSA.

 

While the special servicers under the PSA and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA must each resign as special servicer with respect to a mortgage loan if it becomes affiliated with the related borrower under such mortgage loan, the particular types of affiliations that trigger such resignation obligation, as well as the parties that are entitled to appoint a successor special servicer, may differ as between the PSA and the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

 385

 

 

The parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA (and their related directors, officers and other agents) will be entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the servicing of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan under such Non-Serviced PSA to the same extent that parties to the PSA performing similar functions (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with their obligations under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such indemnification amounts (including out of general collections on the JPMCC 2017-JP7 mortgage pool, if necessary).

 

The matters as to which notice or rating agency confirmation with respect to the rating agencies under the related Non-Serviced PSA are required are similar, but not identical to, similar matters with respect to the Rating Agencies under the PSA (and such agreements differ as to whether it is notice or rating agency confirmation that is required).

 

With respect to non-specially serviced mortgage loans, the related Non-Serviced PSA may differ with respect to whether the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be responsible for conducting or managing certain litigation related to such mortgage loans.

 

Each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be liable in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA only to the extent of its obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach of representations or warranties made by it in the related Non-Serviced PSA or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

The provisions of the related Non-Serviced PSA will also vary from the PSA with respect to one or more of the following: timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, master servicer and special servicer termination events, rating requirements for accounts and permitted investments, eligibility requirements applicable to servicers and other service providers, and the circumstances under which approvals, consents, consultation, notices or rating agency confirmations may be required.

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the applicable master servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of each of the Non-Serviced PSAs, which are available online at www.sec.gov or by requesting copies from the underwriters.

 

Servicing of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan

 

The 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan, which includes the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and any related REO Property, is expected to be serviced and administered under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer (or, if it fails to do so, the trustee under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing

 

 386

 

 

Agreement) will generally make property protection advances, unless it is determined in accordance with the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement that such property protection advance would not be recoverable from related collections. However, no such party will make a P&I Advance with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan. The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer will generally also remit collections on the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the trust for this securitization. However, the master servicer for this securitization will generally be obligated to compile reports that include information on the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, and, to the extent required by the Servicing Standard, to enforce the rights of the trust as the holder for this securitization of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related co-lender agreement and make P&I Advances with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, subject to any non-recoverability determination. The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA are both expected to address similar servicing matters, including, but not limited to: collection of payments; establishment of accounts to hold such payments; investment of funds in those accounts; maintenance of insurance coverage on the mortgaged properties; enforcement of due-on-sale and due-on-encumbrance provisions; property inspections; collection of operating statements; loan assumptions; realization upon and sale of defaulted mortgage loans; acquisition, operation, maintenance and disposition of REO properties; servicing compensation; modifications, waivers, amendments and consents with respect to the serviced mortgage loans; servicing reports; servicer liability and indemnification; servicer resignation, servicer termination events; and the ability of certain parties to terminate a particular servicer in connection with a servicer termination event or otherwise. Nonetheless, the servicing arrangements under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement are expected to differ in certain respects from the servicing arrangements under the PSA. For example, the provisions of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA are expected to differ with respect to, among other things, time periods and timing matters, terminology, allocation of duties between multiple servicers and other service providers, the specifics of particular servicer termination events, notices to and communications with applicable rating agencies and rating confirmation requirements. Below are certain matters regarding the servicing of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan for your consideration:

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA will have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise the actions of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer, the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer or the trustee or the certificate administrator under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan. The obligation of the master servicer for this securitization to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer or the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer will earn a primary servicing fee with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to 0.00125% per annum.

 

Pursuant to the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan are expected to be generally similar to the corresponding fee payable under the PSA, except that the liquidation fee and the workout fee payable under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement each have a fixed fee rate of 0.50% and neither is subject to a $1,000,000 aggregate cap or a $25,000 minimum fee.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA may vary as regards to the extent to which late payment charges, default interest, modification fees, assumption fees, consent fees, defeasance fees and other ancillary fees are allocated to (i) cover or offset expenses, (ii) pay master servicing compensation and (iii) pay special servicing compensation, and such items will not be passed through to the trust for this securitization transaction.

 

 387

 

 

Property protection advances with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan are reimbursable out of related collections, together with interest thereon at a prime rate. If the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer determines that a property protection advance it made with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property is nonrecoverable, such property protection advance will be reimbursed in full from any collections on the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan before any allocation or distribution is made in respect of the principal and interest payments on the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan. In the event that collections received after the final liquidation of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to reimburse such property protection advances in full or pay other fees and trust fund expenses in full, the issuing entity will be required to pay its pro rata share of such fees and expenses as described above.

 

In the event that the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer determines that the monthly debt service advances on the 245 Park Avenue Companion Loans are nonrecoverable, and the master servicer also determines that any P&I Advances on the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan are nonrecoverable, such advances will be reimbursed first in the following order before any amounts are allocated or distributed in respect of the interest or principal payment on the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan or the 245 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans: first such advances on the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and the 245 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans will be reimbursed on a pro rata and pari passu basis, and then such advances on the 245 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loans will be reimbursed.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer is expected to be generally responsible for servicing and administration of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence of, and after the correction of, any special servicing loan event with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, and the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer is expected to be generally responsible for servicing and administration of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan while a special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property. However, the consent (or deemed consent) of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer (subject to the rights of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Directing Certificateholder) is generally expected to be required for all major decisions with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan even if no special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto. The major decisions and special servicing loan events under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement are expected to vary, in some respects, from Major Decisions and servicing transfer events under the PSA.

 

The trustee under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to be the mortgagee of record with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan.

 

The custodian under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to generally be responsible for holding the loan documents with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan (other than the original promissory note for the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and any allonges thereto). However, from time to time to the extent necessary for the servicing and administration of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan, related loan documents will be released to the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer or the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Master Servicer (if the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan is not subject to special servicing) or the 245 Park Avenue Special Servicer (if the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan is subject to servicing) (subject to, if and when applicable, the consent/consultation rights of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Directing Certificateholder and the 2017-245P Operating Advisor), are expected to be able to agree to modify, waive or amend any term of such Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (i) is consistent with the related servicing standard and (ii) would not (A) cause any REMIC created under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. However, neither the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer nor the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer

 

 388

 

 

may extend the maturity date of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan beyond the date that is the earlier of (a) 5 years prior to the latest rated final distribution date and (b) 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 current term of the ground lease plus any options to extend the ground lease exercisable unilaterally by the related borrower.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer is expected to be required to take actions with respect to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan if it becomes the equivalent of a defaulted mortgage loan, which actions are substantially similar, but not identical, to the actions described under “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” in this prospectus.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer and the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer are each expected to be permitted to resign from their respective obligations and duties imposed on them pursuant to the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement upon a determination that such duties are no longer permissible under applicable law or to the extent the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer becomes a borrower affiliate.

 

The servicing transfer events of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement that would cause the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan to become specially serviced are expected to be similar, but not identical, to those of the PSA.

 

Each of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer and the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer are expected to be liable in accordance with the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement only to the extent of their obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer and the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach or representations or warranties made by it in the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer may be removed as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Loans—The 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan—Special Servicer Appointment Rights” in this prospectus.

 

The 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to provide that each of the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer and the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer (and, in each case, certain related persons) will be entitled to indemnification for all losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement, the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan, the 245 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement, the related Mortgaged Property or certificates issued under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by such party by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement). The 245 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement requires that the PSA provide that any master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, trustee, operating advisor or depositor under the 245 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Trust and Servicing Agreement and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the trust fund for this securitization transaction against such trust fund’s pro rata share of any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the

related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to such operating advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan).

Servicing of the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan

 

The West Town Mall Whole Loan, which includes the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan and any related REO Property, is expected to be serviced and administered under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement. Accordingly, the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer (or, if it fails to do so, the trustee under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement) will generally make property protection advances, unless it is determined in accordance with the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement that such property protection advance would not be recoverable from related collections. However, no such party will make a P&I Advance with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan. The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer will generally also remit collections on the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the trust for this securitization. However, the master servicer for this securitization will generally be obligated to compile reports that include information on the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan, and, to the extent required by the Servicing Standard, to enforce the rights of the trust as the holder for this securitization of the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related co-lender agreement and make P&I Advances with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan, subject to any non-recoverability determination. The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA are both expected to address similar servicing matters, including, but not limited to: collection of payments; establishment of accounts to hold such payments; investment of funds in those accounts; maintenance of insurance coverage on the mortgaged properties; enforcement of due-on-sale and due-on-encumbrance provisions; property inspections; collection of operating statements; loan assumptions; realization upon and sale of defaulted mortgage loans; acquisition, operation, maintenance and disposition of REO properties; servicing compensation; modifications, waivers, amendments and consents with respect to the serviced mortgage loans; servicing reports; servicer liability and indemnification; servicer resignation, servicer termination events; and the ability of certain parties to terminate a particular servicer in connection with a servicer termination event or otherwise. Nonetheless, the servicing arrangements under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement are expected to differ in certain respects from the servicing arrangements under the PSA. For example, the provisions of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA are expected to differ with respect to, among other things, time periods and timing matters, terminology, allocation of duties between multiple servicers and other service providers, the specifics of particular servicer termination events, notices to and communications with applicable rating agencies and rating confirmation requirements. Below are certain matters regarding the servicing of the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan for your consideration:

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA will have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise the actions of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer, the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer or the trustee or the certificate administrator under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan. The obligation of the master servicer for this securitization to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer or the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer will earn a primary servicing fee with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to 0.0025% per annum.

 

Pursuant to the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan are expected to be generally similar to the corresponding fee payable under the

 

 390

 

 

PSA, except that the liquidation fee and the workout fee payable under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement are not subject to a $1,000,000 aggregate cap or a $25,000 minimum fee.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement and the PSA may vary as regards to the extent to which late payment charges, default interest, modification fees, assumption fees, consent fees, defeasance fees and other ancillary fees are allocated to (i) cover or offset expenses, (ii) pay master servicing compensation and (iii) pay special servicing compensation, and such items will not be passed through to the trust for this securitization transaction.

 

Property protection advances with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan are reimbursable out of related collections, together with interest thereon at a prime rate. If the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer determines that a property protection advance it made with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property is nonrecoverable, such property protection advance will be reimbursed in full from any collections on the West Town Mall Whole Loan before any allocation or distribution is made in respect of the principal and interest payments on the West Town Mall Whole Loan. In the event that collections received after the final liquidation of the West Town Mall Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to reimburse such property protection advances in full or pay other fees and trust fund expenses in full, the issuing entity will be required to pay its pro rata share of such fees and expenses as described above.

 

In the event that the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer determines that the monthly debt service advances on the West Town Mall Companion Loans are nonrecoverable, and the master servicer also determines that any P&I Advances on the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan are nonrecoverable, such advances will be reimbursed first in the following order before any amounts are allocated or distributed in respect of the interest or principal payment on the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan or the West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans: first such advances on the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan and the West Town Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans will be reimbursed on a pro rata and pari passu basis, and then such advances on the West Town Mall Subordinate Companion Loans will be reimbursed.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer is expected to be generally responsible for servicing and administration of the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence of, and after the correction of, any special servicing loan event with respect to the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan, and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer is expected to be generally responsible for servicing and administration of the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan while a special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property. However, the consent (or deemed consent) of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer (subject to the rights of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Directing Certificateholder) is generally expected to be required for all major decisions with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan even if no special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto. The major decisions and special servicing loan events under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement are expected to vary, in some respects, from Major Decisions and servicing transfer events under the PSA.

 

The trustee under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to be the mortgagee of record with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan.

 

The custodian under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to generally be responsible for holding the loan documents with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan (other than the original promissory note for the West Town Mall Mortgage Loan and any allonges thereto). However, from time to time to the extent necessary for the servicing and administration of the West Town Mall Whole Loan, related loan documents will be released to the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer or the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer.

 

 391

 

 

The West Town Mall Master Servicer (if the West Town Mall Whole Loan is not subject to special servicing) or the West Town Mall Special Servicer (if the West Town Mall Whole Loan is subject to servicing) (subject to, if and when applicable, the consent/consultation rights of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Directing Certificateholder), are expected to be able to agree to modify, waive or amend any term of such Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (i) is consistent with the related servicing standard and (ii) would not (A) cause any REMIC created under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. However, neither the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer nor the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer may extend the maturity date of the West Town Mall Whole Loan beyond the date that is the earlier of (a) 5 years prior to the latest rated final distribution date and (b) 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 current term of the ground lease plus any options to extend the ground lease exercisable unilaterally by the related borrower.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer is expected to be required to take actions with respect to the West Town Mall Whole Loan if it becomes the equivalent of a defaulted mortgage loan, which actions are substantially similar, but not identical, to the actions described under “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” in this prospectus.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer are each expected to be permitted to resign from their respective obligations and duties imposed on them pursuant to the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement upon a determination that such duties are no longer permissible under applicable law or to the extent the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer becomes a borrower affiliate.

 

The servicing transfer events of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement that would cause the West Town Mall Whole Loan to become specially serviced are expected to be similar, but not identical, to those of the PSA.

 

Each of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer are expected to be liable in accordance with the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement only to the extent of their obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach or representations or warranties made by it in the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer may be removed as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Loans—The West Town Mall Whole Loan—Special Servicer Appointment Rights” in this prospectus.

 

The West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement is expected to provide that each of the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Master Servicer and the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Special Servicer (and, in each case, certain related persons) will be entitled to indemnification for all losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement, the West Town Mall Whole Loan, the West Town Mall Intercreditor Agreement, the related Mortgaged Property or certificates issued under the

 

 392

 

 

West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by such party by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement). The West Town Mall Intercreditor Agreement requires that the PSA provide that any master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, trustee or depositor under the West Town Mall Trust 2017-KNOX Trust and Servicing Agreement and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the trust fund for this securitization transaction against such trust fund’s pro rata share of any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the West Town Mall Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property.

 

See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Loans—The West Town Mall Whole Loan” in this prospectus.

 

Rating Agency Confirmations

 

The PSA will provide that, notwithstanding the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of the PSA, if any action under such Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmations has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 business days of such request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party will be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this prospectus as a “RAC No-Response Scenario”.

 

If there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 business days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation, or with respect to any other matter under the PSA relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency, and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the master servicer or special servicer, such condition will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) it has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer on a transaction level basis on a transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or a material factor in such rating action or any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) DBRS has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if DBRS is the non-responding Rating Agency. Promptly following the master servicer’s or special servicer’s determination to take any action discussed above following any requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to

 

 393

 

 

apply (as if such requirement did not exist) as described in clause (x) above, the master servicer or special servicer will be required to provide electronic written notice to the 17g 5 Information Provider, who will promptly post such notice to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s website pursuant to the PSA, of the action taken.

 

For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed above, the applicable Requesting Party will be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies. In the event an action otherwise requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies, in absence of such Rating Agency Confirmation, we cannot assure you that any Rating Agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of any such action taken by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the procedures discussed above.

 

As used above, “Rating Agency Confirmation” means, with respect to any matter, confirmation in writing (which may be in electronic form) by each applicable Rating Agency that a proposed action, failure to act or other event specified in this prospectus will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any class of certificates (if then rated by the Rating Agency); provided that a written waiver or acknowledgment from the Rating Agency indicating its decision not to review the matter for which the Rating Agency Confirmation is sought will be deemed to satisfy the requirement for the Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to such matter. The “Rating Agencies” mean Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and DBRS, Inc. (“DBRS”).

 

Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, or trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the PSA, will be required to be made in writing, which writing must contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and must contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation requests must be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA).

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee will be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents or any matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related borrowers or any other matters relating to the PSA or any related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication in writing and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary the same day such communication takes place; provided, further, that the summary of such oral communications will not identify with which Rating Agency the communication was. The 17g-5 Information Provider will be required to post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the provisions of the PSA. All other information required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies pursuant to the PSA or requested by the Rating Agencies, will first be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to post such information to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA. The operating advisor will have no obligation or authority to communicate directly with the Rating Agencies, but may deliver required information to the Rating Agencies to the extent set forth in this prospectus.

 

The PSA will provide that the PSA may be amended to change the procedures regarding compliance with Rule 17g-5 without any Certificateholder consent; provided that notice of any such amendment must be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and to the certificate administrator (which will post such report to the certificate administrator’s website).

 

To the extent required under the PSA, in the event a rating agency confirmation is required by the applicable rating agencies that any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any such rating agency’s then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, then such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as described above with respect to any Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency.

 

 394

 

 

Evidence as to Compliance

 

Each of the master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of a Mortgage Loan), the custodian, the trustee (provided, however, that the trustee will not be required to deliver an assessment of compliance with respect to any period during which there was no relevant servicing criteria applicable to it) and the certificate administrator will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish), to the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider, an officer’s certificate of the officer responsible for the servicing activities of such party stating, as to the signer thereof, among other things, that (i) a review of that party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion of that year and of performance under the PSA or any sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on the review, such party has fulfilled all of its obligations under the PSA or the sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in all material respects throughout the preceding calendar year or portion of such year, 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 of the failure.

 

In addition, each of the master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of any Mortgage Loan), the trustee (provided, however, that the trustee will not be required to deliver an assessment of compliance with respect to any period during which there was no relevant servicing criteria applicable to it), the custodian, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and each additional servicer, each at its own expense, will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish) to the trustee, the certificate administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the depositor (and, with respect to the special servicer, also to the operating advisor) a report (an “Assessment of Compliance Report”) assessing compliance by that party with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (as described below) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that contains the following:

 

a statement of the party’s responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to it;

 

a statement that the party used the criteria in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB to assess compliance with the applicable servicing criteria;

 

the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria during and as of the end of the fiscal year, covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to the PSA setting forth any material instance of noncompliance identified by the party, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status of such failure; and

 

a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report (an “Attestation Report”) on the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria during and as of the end of the prior fiscal year.

 

Each party that is required to deliver an Assessment of Compliance Report will also be required to simultaneously deliver an Attestation Report of a registered public accounting firm, prepared in accordance with the standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the public company accounting oversight board, that expresses an opinion, or states that an opinion cannot be expressed (and the reasons for this), concerning the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.

 

 395

 

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loans, each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the related Non-Serviced Trustee and the related Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator will have obligations under the related Non-Serviced PSA similar to those described above.

 

Regulation AB” means subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100–229.1125, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the SEC or by the staff of the SEC, or as may be provided by the SEC or its staff from time to time.

 

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding

 

Other than with respect to any rights to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request and exercise the rights described under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions“, no Certificateholder will have any right under the PSA to institute any proceeding with respect to the PSA or with respect to the certificates, unless the holder previously has given to the trustee and the certificate administrator written notice of default and the continuance of the default and unless the holders of certificates of any class evidencing not less than 50% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the class have made written request upon the trustee to institute a proceeding in its own name (as trustee) and have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the trustee for 60 days after receipt of the request and indemnity has neglected or refused to institute the proceeding. However, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the PSA or the certificates or to institute, conduct or defend any related litigation at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless the Certificateholders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred as a result.

 

Termination; Retirement of Certificates

 

The obligations created by the PSA will terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to all Certificateholders of all amounts held by the certificate administrator on behalf of the trustee and required to be paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier of (1) the final payment (or related Advance) or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property (as applicable) subject to the PSA, (2) the voluntary exchange of all the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class R certificates) for the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the issuing entity (provided, however, that (a) the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates is reduced to zero, (b) there is only one holder (or multiple holders acting unanimously) of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class R certificates) and (c) the master servicer consents to the exchange) or (3) the purchase or other liquidation of all of the assets of the issuing entity as described below by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, in that order of priority. Written notice of termination of the PSA will be given by the certificate administrator to each Certificateholder and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). The final distribution will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the certificates at the office of the certificate registrar or other location specified in the notice of termination.

 

The holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer and the holders of the Class R certificates (in that order) will have the right to purchase all of the assets of the issuing entity. This purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the issuing entity is required to be made at a price equal to (a) the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Loans) then included in the issuing entity, (2) the appraised value of the issuing entity’s portion of all REO Properties then included in the issuing entity (which fair market value for any REO Property may be less than the Purchase Price for the corresponding REO Loan), as determined by an appraiser selected by the master servicer and approved by certain classes of certificates, (3) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the master servicer related to such purchase, unless the master servicer is the purchaser and (4) if the Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an REO Property under the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related property, as determined by the master servicer in accordance with clause (2) above, less (b) solely in the case where

 

 396

 

 

the master servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees remaining outstanding and payable solely to the master servicer (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the master servicer in connection with such purchase). This purchase will effect early retirement of the then-outstanding certificates, but the rights of the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates to effect the termination is subject to the requirements that the then aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans be less than 1% of the Initial Pool Balance. The voluntary exchange of certificates (other than the Class R certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans is not subject to the above described percentage limits but is limited to each such class of outstanding certificates being held by one Certificateholder (or group of Certificateholders acting unanimously) who must voluntarily participate.

 

On the applicable Distribution Date, the aggregate amount paid by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, as the case may be, for the Mortgage Loans and other applicable assets in the issuing entity, together with all other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and not otherwise payable to a person other than the Certificateholders, will be applied generally as described above under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the PSA may be made that (A) changes in any manner the obligations of any mortgage loan seller under any MLPA or the rights of any mortgage loan seller, including as a third party beneficiary, under the PSA, without the consent of such mortgage loan seller, (B) materially and adversely affects the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent or (C) changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the PSA by any Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement without the consent of the holder of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be required to consent to any amendment to the PSA without the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer and the operating advisor having first received an opinion of counsel (at the issuing entity’s expense) to the effect that the amendment does not conflict with the terms of the PSA, and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the issuing entity or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code.

 

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator

 

Each of the trustee and the certificate administrator will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or a 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 the PSA, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the trustee, will not be an affiliate of the master servicer or the special servicer (except during any period when the trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be), (ii) an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (iii) an institution whose long term senior unsecured debt is rated at least “A2” by Moody’s, “A” by Fitch and “A” by DBRS; provided that the trustee will not become ineligible to serve based on a failure to satisfy such rating requirements as long as (a) it maintains a long term unsecured debt rating of no less than “Baa2” by Moody’s, “A ” by Fitch and “A(low)” by DBRS, (b) its short term debt obligations have a short term rating of not less than “P 2” from Moody’s, “F1” by Fitch and “R-1(low)” by DBRS and (c) the master servicer maintains a rating of at least “A2” by Moody’s, “A+” by Fitch and “A” by DBRS; provided, further, that if any such institution is not rated by DBRS, such institution maintains an equivalent (or higher) rating by any two other NRSROs, or such other rating with respect to which the Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation and (iv) an entity that is not on the depositor’s “prohibited party” list.

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator will be also permitted at any time to resign from their obligations and duties under the PSA by giving written notice (which notice will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website pursuant to the PSA) to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, all Certificateholders, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). Upon receiving this notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the

 

 399

 

 

Directing Certificateholder. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

 

If at any time the trustee or certificate administrator ceases to be eligible to continue as trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, under the PSA, and fails to resign after written request therefor by the depositor or the master servicer, or if at any time the trustee or certificate administrator becomes incapable of acting, or if certain events of, or proceedings in respect of, bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the trustee or certificate administrator, or if the trustee or certificate administrator fails to timely publish any report to be delivered, published, or otherwise made available by the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 5 days, or if the certificate administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will be authorized to remove the trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the master servicer. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of removal, the removed trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

 

In addition, holders of the certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights may upon 30 days’ prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the trustee or certificate administrator under the PSA and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator. In the event that holders of the certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the trustee or certificate administrator without cause and appoint a successor, the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

 

Any resignation or removal of the trustee or certificate administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator will not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and (ii) the certificate administrator files any required Form 8-K.

 

The PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer or one of its affiliates as successor to the trustee or certificate administrator.

 

Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; and Consent to Jurisdiction

 

The PSA will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Each party to the PSA will waive its respective right to a jury trial for any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to the PSA or certificates. Additionally each party to the PSA will consent to the jurisdiction of any New York State and Federal courts sitting in New York City with respect to matters arising out of or related to the PSA.

 

Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans

 

The following discussion contains general summaries of certain legal aspects of mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily residential properties. Because such legal aspects are governed by applicable local law (which laws may differ substantially), the summaries do not purport to be complete, to reflect the laws of any particular jurisdiction, or to encompass the laws of all jurisdictions in which the security for the mortgage loans is situated.

 

Texas. Forty (40) Mortgaged Properties securing ten (10) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 17.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in Texas. Commercial mortgage loans in Texas are generally secured by deeds of trust on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a deed of trust in Texas may be accomplished by either a non-judicial trustee’s sale under a specific power-of-sale provision set forth in the deed of trust or by judicial foreclosure. Due to the relatively short period of time involved in a non-judicial foreclosure, the judicial foreclosure process is rarely used in Texas. A judicial foreclosure action must be initiated, and a non-judicial foreclosure must be completed, within four years from the date the cause of

 

 400

 

 

action accrues. The cause of action for the unpaid balance of the indebtedness accrues upon the maturity of the indebtedness (by acceleration or otherwise).

 

Unless expressly waived in the deed of trust, the lender must provide the debtor with a written demand for payment, a notice of intent to accelerate the indebtedness, and a notice of acceleration prior to commencing any foreclosure action. It is customary practice in Texas for the demand for payment to be combined with the notice of intent to accelerate the indebtedness. In addition, with respect to a non-judicial foreclosure sale and notwithstanding any waiver by debtor to the contrary, the lender is statutorily required to (i) provide each debtor obligated to pay the indebtedness a notice of foreclosure sale via certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to each debtor at such debtor’s last known address at least 21 days before the date of the foreclosure sale; (ii) post a notice of foreclosure sale at the courthouse of each county in which the property is located; and (iii) file a notice of foreclosure sale with the county clerk of each county in which the property is located. Such 21 day period includes the entire calendar day on which the notice is deposited with the United States mail and excludes the entire calendar day of the foreclosure sale. The statutory foreclosure notice may be combined with the notice of acceleration of the indebtedness and must contain the location of the foreclosure sale and a statement of the earliest time at which the foreclosure sale will begin. To the extent the note or deed of trust contains additional notice requirements, the lender must comply with such requirements in addition to the statutory requirements set forth above.

 

The trustee’s sale must be performed pursuant to the terms of the deed of trust and statutory law and must take place between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month, in the area designated for such sales by the county commissioners’ court of the county in which the property is located, and must begin at the time set forth in the notice of foreclosure sale or not later than three hours after that time. If the property is located in multiple counties, the sale may occur in any county in which a portion of the property is located. Under Texas law applicable to the subject property, the debtor does not have the right to redeem the property after foreclosure. Any action for deficiency must be brought within two years of the foreclosure sale. If the foreclosure sale price is less than the fair market value of the property, the debtor or any obligor (including any guarantor) may be entitled to an offset against the deficiency in the amount by which the fair market value of the property, less the amount of any claim, indebtedness, or obligation of any kind that is secured by a lien or encumbrance on the real property that was not extinguished by the foreclosure, exceeds the foreclosure sale price.

 

California. Fourteen (14) Mortgaged Properties securing four (4) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 12.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in California. Mortgage loans in California are generally secured by deeds of trust on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a deed of trust in California may be accomplished by a non judicial trustee’s sale (so long as it is permitted under a specific provision in the deed of trust) or by judicial foreclosure, in each case subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures and requirements of California law. Public notice of either the trustee’s sale or the judgment of foreclosure is given for a statutory period of time after which the mortgaged real estate may be sold by the trustee, if foreclosed pursuant to the trustee’s power of sale, or by court appointed sheriff under a judicial foreclosure. Following a judicial foreclosure sale, the borrower or its successor in interest may, for a period of up to one year, redeem the property; however, there is no redemption following a trustee’s power of sale. California’s “security first” and “one action” rules require the lender to complete foreclosure of all real estate provided as security under the deed of trust in a single action in an attempt to satisfy the full debt before bringing a personal action (if otherwise permitted) against the borrower for recovery of the debt, except in certain cases involving environmentally impaired real property where foreclosure of the real property is not required before making a claim under the indemnity. This restriction may apply to property which is not located in California if a single promissory note is secured by property located in California and other jurisdictions. California case law has held that acts such as (but not limited to) an offset of an unpledged account constitute violations of such statutes. Violations of such statutes may result in the loss of some or all of the security under the mortgage loan and a loss of the ability to sue for the debt. A sale by the trustee under the deed of trust does not constitute an “action” for purposes of the “one action rule”. Other statutory provisions in California limit any deficiency judgment (if otherwise permitted) against the borrower following a judicial foreclosure to the amount by which the indebtedness exceeds the fair value at the time of the public sale and in no event greater than the difference between the foreclosure sale price and the amount of the indebtedness. Further, under California law, once a property has been sold pursuant to a power of sale clause contained in a deed of trust (and in the case of certain types of purchase money acquisition

 

 401

 

 

financings, under all circumstances), the lender is precluded from seeking a deficiency judgment from the borrower or, under certain circumstances, guarantors.

 

New York. Two (2) Mortgaged Properties securing two (2) Mortgage Loans representing 10.1% of the Initial Pool Balance are located in New York. Mortgage loans in New York are generally secured by mortgages on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a mortgage is usually accomplished in judicial proceedings. After an action for foreclosure is commenced, and if the lender secures a ruling that is entitled to foreclosure ordinarily by motion for summary judgment, the court then appoints a referee to compute the amount owed together with certain costs, expenses and legal fees of the action. The lender then moves to confirm the referee’s report and enter a final judgment of foreclosure and sale. Public notice of the foreclosure sale, including the amount of the judgment, is given for a statutory period of time, after which the mortgaged real estate is sold by a referee at public auction. There is no right of redemption after the foreclosure of sale. In certain circumstances, deficiency judgments may be obtained. Under mortgages containing a statutorily sanctioned covenant, the lender has a right to have a receiver appointed without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the mortgaged real estate as security for the amount owed.

 

General

 

Each mortgage loan will be evidenced by a promissory note and secured by an instrument granting a security interest in real property, which may be a mortgage, deed of trust or a deed to secure debt, depending upon the prevailing practice and law in the state in which the related mortgaged property is located. Mortgages, deeds of trust and deeds to secure debt are in this prospectus collectively referred to as “mortgages”. A mortgage creates a lien upon, or grants a title interest in, the real property covered thereby, and represents the security for the repayment of the indebtedness customarily evidenced by a promissory note. The priority of the lien created or interest granted will depend on the terms of the mortgage and, in some cases, on the terms of separate subordination agreements or intercreditor agreements with others that hold interests in the real property, the knowledge of the parties to the mortgage and, generally, the order of recordation of the mortgage in the appropriate public recording office. However, the lien of a recorded mortgage will generally be subordinate to later-arising liens for real estate taxes and assessments and other charges imposed under governmental police powers.

 

Types of Mortgage Instruments

 

There are two parties to a mortgage: a mortgagor (the borrower and usually the owner of the applicable property) and a mortgagee (the lender). In contrast, a deed of trust is a three-party instrument, among a trustor (the equivalent of a borrower), a trustee to whom the real property is conveyed, and a beneficiary (the lender) for whose benefit the conveyance is made. Under a deed of trust, the trustor grants the property, irrevocably until the debt is paid, in trust and generally with a power of sale, to the trustee to secure repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the related note. A deed to secure debt typically has two parties, pursuant to which the borrower, or grantor, conveys title to the real property to the grantee, or lender generally with a power of sale, until such time as the debt is repaid. In a case where the borrower is a land trust, there would be an additional party because legal title to the property is held by a land trustee under a land trust agreement for the benefit of the borrower. At origination of a mortgage loan involving a land trust, the borrower may execute a separate undertaking to make payments on the promissory note. The land trustee would not be personally liable for the promissory note obligation. The mortgagee’s authority under a mortgage, the trustee’s authority under a deed of trust and the grantee’s authority under a deed to secure debt are governed by the express provisions of the related instrument, the law of the state in which the real property is located, certain federal laws and, in some deed of trust transactions, the directions of the beneficiary.

 

Leases and Rents

 

Mortgages that encumber income-producing property often contain an assignment of rents and leases, and/or may be accompanied by a separate assignment of rents and leases, pursuant to which the borrower assigns to the lender the borrower’s right, title and interest as landlord under each lease and the income derived from the lease, while (unless rents are to be paid directly to the lender) retaining a revocable license to collect the rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the

 

 402

 

 

lender is entitled to collect the rents. Local law may require that the lender take possession of the property and/or obtain a court-appointed receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents.

 

In most states, hotel property and motel room rates are considered accounts receivable under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). In cases where hotel properties or motels constitute loan security, the revenues are generally pledged by the borrower as additional security for the loan. In general, the lender must file financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in the room revenues and must file continuation statements, generally every 5 years, to maintain perfection of such security interest. In certain cases, mortgage loans secured by hotel properties or motels may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in the room revenues was not perfected. Even if the lender’s security interest in room revenues is perfected under applicable nonbankruptcy law, it will generally be required to commence a foreclosure action or otherwise take possession of the property in order to enforce its rights to collect the room revenues following a default. In the bankruptcy setting, however, the lender will be stayed from enforcing its rights to collect room revenues, but those room revenues constitute “cash collateral” and therefore generally cannot be used by the bankruptcy debtor without a hearing or lender’s consent or unless the lender’s interest in the room revenues is given adequate protection (e.g., cash payment for otherwise encumbered funds or a replacement lien on unencumbered property, in either case in value equivalent to the amount of room revenues that the debtor proposes to use, or other similar relief). See “—Bankruptcy Laws” below.

 

Personalty

 

In the case of certain types of mortgaged properties, such as hotel properties, motels, nursing homes and manufactured housing communities, personal property (to the extent owned by the borrower and not previously pledged) may constitute a significant portion of the property’s value as security. The creation and enforcement of liens on personal property are governed by the UCC. Accordingly, if a borrower pledges personal property as security for a mortgage loan, the lender generally must file UCC financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in that personal property, and must file continuation statements, generally every five years, to maintain that perfection. Certain mortgage loans secured in part by personal property may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in such personal property was not perfected.

 

Foreclosure

 

General

 

Foreclosure is a legal procedure that allows the lender to recover its mortgage debt by enforcing its rights and available legal remedies under the mortgage. If the borrower defaults in payment or performance of its obligations under the promissory note or mortgage, the lender has the right to institute foreclosure proceedings to sell the real property at public auction to satisfy the indebtedness.

 

Foreclosure Procedures Vary from State to State

 

Two primary methods of foreclosing a mortgage are judicial foreclosure, involving court proceedings, and nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to a power of sale granted in the mortgage instrument. Other foreclosure procedures are available in some states, but they are either infrequently used or available only in limited circumstances.

 

A foreclosure action is subject to most of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if defenses are raised or counterclaims are interposed, and sometimes requires several years to complete.

 

See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with One Action Rules”.

 

Judicial Foreclosure

 

A judicial foreclosure proceeding is conducted in a court having jurisdiction over the mortgaged property. Generally, the action is initiated by the service of legal pleadings upon all parties having a

 

 403

 

 

subordinate interest of record in the real property and all parties in possession of the property, under leases or otherwise, whose interests are subordinate to the mortgage. Delays in completion of the foreclosure may occasionally result from difficulties in locating defendants. When the lender’s right to foreclose is contested, the legal proceedings can be time-consuming. Upon successful completion of a judicial foreclosure proceeding, the court generally issues a judgment of foreclosure and appoints a referee or other officer to conduct a public sale of the mortgaged property, the proceeds of which are used to satisfy the judgment. Such sales are made in accordance with procedures that vary from state to state.

 

Equitable and Other Limitations on Enforceability of Certain Provisions

 

United States courts have traditionally imposed general equitable principles to limit the remedies available to lenders in foreclosure actions. These principles are generally designed to relieve borrowers from the effects of mortgage defaults perceived as harsh or unfair. Relying on such principles, a court may alter the specific terms of a loan to the extent it considers necessary to prevent or remedy an injustice, undue oppression or overreaching, or may require the lender to undertake affirmative actions to determine the cause of the borrower’s default and the likelihood that the borrower will be able to reinstate the loan. In some cases, courts have substituted their judgment for the lender’s and have required that lenders reinstate loans or recast payment schedules in order to accommodate borrowers who are suffering from a temporary financial disability. In other cases, courts have limited the right of the lender to foreclose in the case of a nonmonetary default, such as a failure to adequately maintain the mortgaged property or an impermissible further encumbrance of the mortgaged property. Finally, some courts have addressed the issue of whether federal or state constitutional provisions reflecting due process concerns for adequate notice require that a borrower receive notice in addition to statutorily-prescribed minimum notice. For the most part, these cases have upheld the reasonableness of the notice provisions or have found that a public sale under a mortgage providing for a power of sale does not involve sufficient state action to trigger constitutional protections.

 

In addition, some states may have statutory protection such as the right of the borrower to reinstate a mortgage loan after commencement of foreclosure proceedings but prior to a foreclosure sale.

 

Nonjudicial Foreclosure/Power of Sale

 

In states permitting nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings, foreclosure of a deed of trust is generally accomplished by a nonjudicial trustee’s sale pursuant to a power of sale typically granted in the deed of trust. A power of sale may also be contained in any other type of mortgage instrument if applicable law so permits. A power of sale under a deed of trust allows a nonjudicial public sale to be conducted generally following a request from the beneficiary/lender to the trustee to sell the property upon default by the borrower and after notice of sale is given in accordance with the terms of the mortgage and applicable state law. In some states, prior to such sale, the trustee under the deed of trust must record a notice of default and notice of sale and send a copy to the borrower and to any other party who has recorded a request for a copy of a notice of default and notice of sale. In addition, in some states the trustee must provide notice to any other party having an interest of record in the real property, including junior lienholders. A notice of sale must be posted in a public place and, in most states, published for a specified period of time in one or more newspapers. The borrower or junior lienholder may then have the right, during a reinstatement period required in some states, to cure the default by paying the entire actual amount in arrears (without regard to the acceleration of the indebtedness), plus the lender’s expenses incurred in enforcing the obligation. In other states, the borrower or the junior lienholder is not provided a period to reinstate the loan, but has only the right to pay off the entire debt to prevent the foreclosure sale. Generally, state law governs the procedure for public sale, the parties entitled to notice, the method of giving notice and the applicable time periods.

 

Public Sale

 

A third party may be unwilling to purchase a mortgaged property at a public sale because of the difficulty in determining the exact status of title to the property (due to, among other things, redemption rights that may exist) and because of the possibility that physical deterioration of the mortgaged property may have occurred during the foreclosure proceedings. Potential buyers may also be reluctant to purchase mortgaged property at a foreclosure sale as a result of the 1980 decision of the United States Court of

 

 404

 

 

Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Durrett v. Washington National Insurance Co., 621 F.2d 2001 (5th Cir. 1980) and other decisions that have followed its reasoning. The court in Durrett held that even a non-collusive, regularly conducted foreclosure sale was a fraudulent transfer under the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, could be rescinded in favor of the bankrupt’s estate, if (1) the foreclosure sale was held while the debtor was insolvent and not more than one year prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition and (2) the price paid for the foreclosed property did not represent “fair consideration”, which is “reasonably equivalent value” under the Bankruptcy Code. Although the reasoning and result of Durrett in respect of the Bankruptcy Code was rejected by the United States Supreme Court in BFP v. Resolution Trust Corp., 511 U.S. 531 (1994), the case could nonetheless be persuasive to a court applying a state fraudulent conveyance law which has provisions similar to those construed in Durrett. Therefore, it is common for the lender to purchase the mortgaged property for an amount equal to the secured indebtedness and accrued and unpaid interest plus the expenses of foreclosure, in which event the borrower’s debt will be extinguished, or for a lesser amount in order to preserve its right to seek a deficiency judgment if such is available under state law and under the terms of the mortgage loan documents. Thereafter, subject to the borrower’s right in some states to remain in possession during a redemption period, the lender will become the owner of the property and have both the benefits and burdens of ownership, including the obligation to pay debt service on any senior mortgages, to pay taxes, to obtain casualty insurance and to make such repairs as are necessary to render the property suitable for sale. Frequently, the lender employs a third-party management company to manage and operate the property. The costs of operating and maintaining a property may be significant and may be greater than the income derived from that property. The costs of management and operation of those mortgaged properties which are hotels, motels, restaurants, nursing or convalescent homes, hospitals or casinos may be particularly significant because of the expertise, knowledge and, with respect to certain property types, regulatory compliance, required to run those operations and the effect which foreclosure and a change in ownership may have on the public’s and the industry’s, including franchisors’, perception of the quality of those operations. The lender also will commonly obtain the services of a real estate broker and pay the broker’s commission in connection with the sale or lease of the property. Depending upon market conditions, the ultimate proceeds of the sale of a property may not equal the lender’s investment in the property. Moreover, a lender commonly incurs substantial legal fees and court costs in acquiring a mortgaged property through contested foreclosure and/or bankruptcy proceedings. Because of the expenses associated with acquiring, owning and selling a mortgaged property, a lender could realize an overall loss on a mortgage loan even if the mortgaged property is sold at foreclosure, or resold after it is acquired through foreclosure, for an amount equal to the full outstanding principal amount of the loan plus accrued interest.

 

Furthermore, an increasing number of states require that any environmental contamination at certain types of properties be cleaned up before a property may be resold. In addition, a lender may be responsible under federal or state law for the cost of cleaning up a mortgaged property that is environmentally contaminated. See “—Environmental Considerations” below.

 

The holder of a junior mortgage that forecloses on a mortgaged property does so subject to senior mortgages and any other prior liens, and may be obliged to keep senior mortgage loans current in order to avoid foreclosure of its interest in the property. In addition, if the foreclosure of a junior mortgage triggers the enforcement of a “due-on-sale” clause contained in a senior mortgage, the junior mortgagee could be required to pay the full amount of the senior mortgage indebtedness or face foreclosure.

 

Rights of Redemption

 

The purposes of a foreclosure action are to enable the lender to realize upon its security and to bar the borrower, and all persons who have interests in the property that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender, from exercise of their “equity of redemption”. The doctrine of equity of redemption provides that, until the property encumbered by a mortgage has been sold in accordance with a properly conducted foreclosure and foreclosure sale, those having interests that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender have an equity of redemption and may redeem the property by paying the entire debt with interest. Those having an equity of redemption must generally be made parties and joined in the foreclosure proceeding in order for their equity of redemption to be terminated.

 

 405

 

 

The equity of redemption is a common-law (nonstatutory) right which should be distinguished from post-sale statutory rights of redemption. In some states, after sale pursuant to a deed of trust or foreclosure of a mortgage, the borrower and foreclosed junior lienors are given a statutory period in which to redeem the property. In some states, statutory redemption may occur only upon payment of the foreclosure sale price. In other states, redemption may be permitted if the former borrower pays only a portion of the sums due. The effect of a statutory right of redemption is to diminish the ability of the lender to sell the foreclosed property because the exercise of a right of redemption would defeat the title of any purchaser through a foreclosure. Consequently, the practical effect of the redemption right is to force the lender to maintain the property and pay the expenses of ownership until the redemption period has expired. In some states, a post-sale statutory right of redemption may exist following a judicial foreclosure, but not following a trustee’s sale under a deed of trust.

 

Anti-Deficiency Legislation

 

Some or all of the mortgage loans are nonrecourse loans, as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the mortgaged property and such other assets, if any, that were pledged to secure the mortgage loan. However, even if a mortgage loan by its terms provides for recourse to the borrower’s other assets, a lender’s ability to realize upon those assets may be limited by state law. For example, in some states a lender cannot obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower following foreclosure or sale under a deed of trust.

 

A deficiency judgment is a personal judgment against the former borrower equal to the difference between the net amount realized upon the public sale of the real property and the amount due to the lender. Other statutes may require the lender to exhaust the security afforded under a mortgage before bringing a personal action against the borrower. In certain other states, the lender has the option of bringing a personal action against the borrower on the debt without first exhausting that security; however, in some of those states, the lender, following judgment on that personal action, may be deemed to have elected a remedy and thus may be precluded from foreclosing upon the security. Consequently, lenders in those states where such an election of remedy provision exists will usually proceed first against the security. Finally, other statutory provisions, designed to protect borrowers from exposure to large deficiency judgments that might result from bidding at below-market values at the foreclosure sale, limit any deficiency judgment to the excess of the outstanding debt over the fair market value of the property at the time of the sale.

 

Leasehold Considerations

 

Mortgage loans may be secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s leasehold interest in a ground lease. Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the borrower’s leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the leasehold mortgagee would lose its security. This risk may be lessened if the ground lease requires the lessor to give the leasehold mortgagee notices of lessee defaults and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold estate to be assigned to and by the leasehold mortgagee or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease. Certain mortgage loans, however, may be secured by ground leases which do not contain these provisions.

 

In addition, where a lender has as its security both the fee and leasehold interest in the same property, the grant of a mortgage lien on its fee interest by the land owner/ground lessor to secure the debt of a borrower/ground lessee may be subject to challenge as a fraudulent conveyance. Among other things, a legal challenge to the granting of the liens may focus on the benefits realized by the land owner/ground lessor from the loan. If a court concluded that the granting of the mortgage lien was an avoidable fraudulent conveyance, it might take actions detrimental to the holders of the offered certificates, including, under certain circumstances, invalidating the mortgage lien on the fee interest of the land owner/ground lessor.

 

Cooperative Shares

 

Mortgage loans may be secured by a security interest on the borrower’s ownership interest in shares, and the related proprietary leases, allocable to cooperative dwelling units that may be vacant or occupied

 

 406

 

 

by non-owner tenants. Such loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of a borrower in real property. Such a loan typically is subordinate to the mortgage, if any, on the cooperative’s building which, if foreclosed, could extinguish the equity in the building and the proprietary leases of the dwelling units derived from ownership of the shares of the cooperative. Further, transfer of shares in a cooperative are subject to various regulations as well as to restrictions under the governing documents of the cooperative, and the shares may be cancelled in the event that associated maintenance charges due under the related proprietary leases are not paid. Typically, a recognition agreement between the lender and the cooperative provides, among other things, the lender with an opportunity to cure a default under a proprietary lease.

 

Under the laws applicable in many states, “foreclosure” on cooperative shares is accomplished by a sale in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the UCC and the security agreement relating to the shares. Article 9 of the UCC requires that a sale be conducted in a “commercially reasonable” manner, which may be dependent upon, among other things, the notice given the debtor and the method, manner, time, place and terms of the sale. Article 9 of the UCC provides that the proceeds of the sale will be applied first to pay the costs and expenses of the sale and then to satisfy the indebtedness secured by the lender’s security interest. A recognition agreement, however, generally provides that the lender’s right to reimbursement is subject to the right of the cooperative to receive sums due under the proprietary leases.

 

Bankruptcy Laws

 

Operation of the federal Bankruptcy Code in Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (“Bankruptcy Code”) and related state laws may interfere with or affect the ability of a lender to obtain payment of a loan, realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the Bankruptcy Code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition, and, usually, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy case. The delay and the consequences of a delay caused by an automatic stay can be significant. For example, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior mortgage lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. At a minimum, the senior lender would suffer delay due to its need to seek bankruptcy court approval before taking any foreclosure or other action that could be deemed in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy trustee, or a borrower as debtor-in-possession, may under certain circumstances sell the related mortgaged property or other collateral free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests, which liens would then attach to the proceeds of such sale, despite the provisions of the related mortgage or other security agreement to the contrary. Such a sale may be approved by a bankruptcy court even if the proceeds are insufficient to pay the secured debt in full.

 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, provided certain substantive and procedural safeguards for a lender are met, the amount and terms of a mortgage or other security agreement secured by property of a debtor may be modified under certain circumstances. Pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization, lien avoidance or claim objection proceeding, the secured claim arising from a loan secured by real property or other collateral may be reduced to the then-current value of the property (with a corresponding partial reduction of the amount of lender’s security interest), thus leaving the lender a secured creditor to the extent of the then current value of the property and a general unsecured creditor for the difference between such value and the outstanding balance of the loan. Such general unsecured claims may be paid less than 100% of the amount of the debt or not at all, depending upon the circumstances. Other modifications may include the reduction in the amount of each scheduled payment, which reduction may result from a reduction in the rate of interest and/or the alteration of the repayment schedule (with or without affecting the unpaid principal balance of the loan), and/or an extension (or reduction) of the final maturity date. Some courts have approved bankruptcy plans, based on the particular facts of the reorganization case, that effected the curing of a mortgage loan default by paying arrearages over a number of years. Also, under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court may permit a debtor through its plan of reorganization to reinstate the loan even though the lender accelerated the mortgage loan and final judgment of foreclosure had been entered in state court (provided no sale of the property had yet occurred) prior to the filing of the debtor’s petition. This may be done even if the plan of reorganization does not provide for payment of the full amount due under the

 

 407

 

 

original loan. Thus, the full amount due under the original loan may never be repaid. Other types of significant modifications to the terms of mortgage loan may be acceptable to the bankruptcy court, such as making distributions to the mortgage holder of property other than cash, or the substitution of collateral which is the “indubitable equivalent” of the real property subject to the mortgage, or the subordination of the mortgage to liens securing new debt (provided that the lender’s secured claim is “adequately protected” as such term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code), often depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the specific case.

 

Federal bankruptcy law may also interfere with or otherwise adversely affect the ability of a secured mortgage lender to enforce an assignment by a borrower of rents and leases (which “rents” may include revenues from hotels and other lodging facilities specified in the Bankruptcy Code) related to a mortgaged property if the related borrower is in a bankruptcy proceeding. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a lender may be stayed from enforcing the assignment, and the legal proceedings necessary to resolve the issue can be time consuming and may result in significant delays in the receipt of the rents. Rents (including applicable hotel and other lodging revenues) and leases may also escape such an assignment, among other things, (i) if the assignment is not fully perfected under state law prior to commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding, (ii) to the extent such rents and leases are used by the borrower to maintain the mortgaged property, or for other court authorized expenses, (iii) to the extent other collateral may be substituted for the rents and leases, (iv) to the extent the bankruptcy court determines that the lender is adequately protected, or (v) to the extent the court determines based on the equities of the case that the post-petition rents are not subject to the lender’s pre-petition securities interest.

 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a security interest in real property acquired before the commencement of the bankruptcy case does not extend to income received after the commencement of the bankruptcy case unless such income is a proceed, product or rent of such property. Therefore, to the extent a business conducted on the mortgaged property creates accounts receivable rather than rents or results from payments under a license rather than payments under a lease, a valid and perfected pre-bankruptcy lien on such accounts receivable or license income generally would not continue as to post-bankruptcy accounts receivable or license income.

 

The Bankruptcy Code provides that a lender’s perfected pre-petition security interest in leases, rents and hotel revenues continues in the post-petition leases, rents and hotel revenues, unless a bankruptcy court orders to the contrary “based on the equities of the case”. The equities of a particular case may permit the discontinuance of security interests in pre-petition leases and rents. Thus, unless a court orders otherwise, revenues from a mortgaged property generated after the date the bankruptcy petition is filed will constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. Debtors may only use cash collateral upon obtaining the lender’s consent or a prior court order finding that the lender’s interest in the mortgaged hotel, motel or other lodging property and the cash collateral is “adequately protected” as the term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to post-petition rents, any cash held by a lender in a lockbox or reserve account generally would also constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. So long as the lender is adequately protected, a debtor’s use of cash collateral may be for its own benefit or for the benefit of any affiliated entity group that is also subject to bankruptcy proceedings, including use as collateral for new debt. It should be noted, however, that the court may find that the lender has no security interest in either pre-petition or post-petition revenues if the court finds that the loan documents do not contain language covering accounts, room rents, or other forms of personality necessary for a security interest to attach to such revenues.

 

The Bankruptcy Code provides generally that rights and obligations under an unexpired lease of the debtor/lessee may not be terminated or modified at any time after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code solely because of a provision in the lease to that effect or because of certain other similar events. This prohibition on so-called “ipso facto” clauses could limit the ability of a lender to exercise certain contractual remedies with respect to the leases on any mortgaged property. In addition, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code operates as an automatic stay of, among other things, any act to obtain possession of property from a debtor’s estate, which may delay a lender’s exercise of those remedies, including foreclosure, in the event that a lessee becomes the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a lessee of a mortgaged property would result in a stay against the commencement or continuation of any state court proceeding for past due rent, for

 

 408

 

 

accelerated rent, for damages or for a summary eviction order with respect to a default under the related lease that occurred prior to the filing of the lessee’s petition. While relief from the automatic stay to enforce remedies may be requested, it can be denied for a number of reasons, including where the collateral is “necessary to an effective reorganization” for the debtor, and if a debtor’s case has been administratively consolidated with those of its affiliates, the court may also consider whether the property is “necessary to an effective reorganization” of the debtor and its affiliates, taken as a whole.

 

The Bankruptcy Code generally provides that a trustee in bankruptcy or debtor-in-possession may, with respect to an unexpired lease of non-residential real property, before the earlier of (i) 120 days after the filing of a bankruptcy case or (ii) the entry of an order confirming a plan, subject to approval of the court, (a) assume the lease and retain it or assign it to a third party or (b) reject the lease. If the trustee or debtor-in-possession fails to assume or reject the lease within the time specified in the preceding sentence, subject to any extensions by the bankruptcy court, the lease will be deemed rejected and the property will be surrendered to the lessor. The bankruptcy court may for cause shown extend the 120-day period up to 90 days for a total of 210 days. If the lease is assumed, the trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of the lessee, or the lessee as debtor-in-possession, or the assignee, if applicable, must cure any defaults under the lease, compensate the lessor for its losses and provide the lessor with “adequate assurance” of future performance. These remedies may be insufficient, however, as the lessor may be forced to continue under the lease with a lessee that is a poor credit risk or an unfamiliar tenant (if the lease was assigned), and any assurances provided to the lessor may, in fact, be inadequate. If the lease is rejected, the rejection generally constitutes a breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease as of the date immediately preceding the filing date of the bankruptcy petition. As a consequence, the other party or parties to the lease, such as the borrower, as lessor under a lease, generally would have only an unsecured claim against the debtor, as lessee, for damages resulting from the breach, which could adversely affect the security for the related mortgage loan. In addition, under the Bankruptcy Code, a lease rejection damages claim is limited to the “(a) rent reserved by the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or 15 percent, not to exceed three (3) years, of the remaining term of such lease, following the earlier of the date of the bankruptcy petition and the date on which the lessor regained possession of the real property, (b) plus any unpaid rent due under such lease, without acceleration, on the earlier of such dates.”

 

If a trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of a lessor, or a lessor as debtor-in-possession, rejects an unexpired lease of real property, the lessee may treat the lease as terminated by the rejection or, in the alternative, the lessee may remain in possession of the leasehold for the balance of the term and for any renewal or extension of the term that is enforceable by the lessee under applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Bankruptcy Code provides that if a lessee elects to remain in possession after a rejection of a lease, the lessee may offset against rents reserved under the lease for the balance of the term after the date of rejection of the lease, and the related renewal or extension of the lease, any damages occurring after that date caused by the nonperformance of any obligation of the lessor under the lease after that date.

 

Similarly, bankruptcy risk is associated with an insolvency proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of either a borrower ground lessee or a ground lessor. In general, upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a lease of nonresidential real property, including a ground lease, that has not been terminated prior to the bankruptcy filing date, the debtor entity has the statutory right to assume or reject the lease. Given that the Bankruptcy Code generally invalidates clauses that terminate contracts automatically upon the filing by one of the parties of a bankruptcy petition or that are conditioned on a party’s insolvency, following the filing of a bankruptcy petition, a debtor would ordinarily be required to perform its obligations under such lease until the debtor decides whether to assume or reject the lease. The Bankruptcy Code provides certain additional protections with respect to non-residential real property leases, such as establishing a specific timeframe in which a debtor must determine whether to assume or reject the lease. The bankruptcy court may extend the time to perform for up to 60 days for cause shown. Even if the agreements were terminated prior to bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court may determine that the agreement was improperly terminated and therefore remains part of the debtor’s bankruptcy estate. The debtor also can seek bankruptcy court approval to assume and assign the lease to a third party, and to modify the lease in connection with such assignment. In order to assume the lease, the debtor or assignee generally will have to cure outstanding defaults and provide “adequate assurance of future performance” in addition to satisfying other requirements imposed under the Bankruptcy Code. Under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to certain

 

 409

 

 

exceptions, once a lease is rejected by a debtor lessee, it is deemed breached, and the non-debtor lessor will have a claim for lease rejection damages, as described above.

 

If the ground lessor files for bankruptcy, it may determine until the confirmation of its plan of reorganization whether to reject the ground lease. On request of any party to the lease, the bankruptcy court may order the debtor to determine within a specific period of time whether to assume or reject the lease or to comply with the terms of the lease pending its decision to assume or reject. In the event of rejection, the non-debtor lessee will have the right to treat the lease as terminated by virtue of its terms, applicable nonbankruptcy law, or any agreement made by the lessee. The non-debtor lessee may also, if the lease term has begun, retain its rights under the lease, including its rights to remain in possession of the leased premises under the rent reserved in the lease for the balance of the term of the lease (including renewals). The term “lessee” includes any “successor, assign or mortgagee permitted under the terms of such lease”. If, pre-petition, the ground lessor had specifically granted the leasehold mortgagee such right, the leasehold mortgagee may have the right to succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease.

 

In the event of concurrent bankruptcy proceedings involving the ground lessor and the lessee/borrower, actions by creditors against the borrower/lessee debtor would be subject to the automatic stay, and a lender may be unable to enforce both the bankrupt lessee’s/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated and any agreement by the ground lessor to grant the lender a new lease upon such termination. In such circumstances, a lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in that lease or in the mortgage. A lender could lose its security unless the lender holds a fee mortgage or the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the mortgagee to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, such position may not be adopted by the bankruptcy court.

 

Further, in an appellate decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir, 2003)), the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of leased property occurs under the Bankruptcy Code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, that sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that, at least where a memorandum of lease had not been recorded, this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the lessee would be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that a leasehold mortgagor and/or a leasehold mortgagee (to the extent it has standing to intervene) would be able to recover the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court.

 

Because of the possible termination of the related ground lease, whether arising from a bankruptcy, the expiration of a lease term or an uncured defect under the related ground lease, lending on a leasehold interest in a real property is riskier than lending on the fee interest in the property.

 

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a borrower, action may be taken seeking the recovery as a preferential transfer of any payments made by such borrower, or made directly by the related lessee, under the related mortgage loan to the issuing entity. Payments on long term debt may be protected from recovery as preferences if they qualify for the “ordinary course” exception under the Bankruptcy Code or if certain other defenses in the Bankruptcy Code are applicable. Whether any particular payment would be protected depends upon the facts specific to a particular transaction.

 

In addition, in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any borrower or an affiliate, an action may be taken to avoid the transaction (or any component of the transaction, such as joint and several liability on the related mortgage loan) as an actual or constructive fraudulent conveyance under state or federal law. Any payment by a borrower in excess of its allocated share of the loan could be challenged as a fraudulent conveyance by creditors of that borrower in an action outside a bankruptcy case or by the representative of

 

 410

 

 

the borrower’s bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy case. Generally, under federal and most state fraudulent conveyance statutes, the incurrence of an obligation or the transfer of property by a person will be subject to avoidance under certain circumstances if the person transferred such property with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or the person did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such obligation or transfer and (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by such obligation or transfer, (ii) was engaged in business or a transaction, or was about to engage in business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with the person constituted unreasonably small capital, or (iii) intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts that would be beyond the person’s ability to pay as such debts matured. The measure of insolvency will vary depending on the law of the applicable jurisdiction. However, an entity will generally be considered insolvent if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than (x) the sum of its debts or (y) the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Accordingly, a lien granted by a borrower to secure repayment of the loan in excess of its allocated share could be avoided if a court were to determine that (i) such borrower was insolvent at the time of granting the lien, was rendered insolvent by the granting of the lien, was left with inadequate capital, or was not able to pay its debts as they matured and (ii) the borrower did not, when it allowed its property to be encumbered by a lien securing the entire indebtedness represented by the loan, receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for pledging such property for the equal benefit of each other borrower.

 

A bankruptcy court may, under certain circumstances, authorize a debtor to obtain credit after the commencement of a bankruptcy case, secured among other things, by senior, equal or junior liens on property that is already subject to a lien. In the bankruptcy case of General Growth Properties filed on April 16, 2009, the debtors initially sought approval of a debtor-in-possession loan to the corporate parent entities guaranteed by the property-level single purpose entities and secured by second liens on their properties. Although the debtor-in-possession loan subsequently was modified to eliminate the subsidiary guarantees and second liens, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower sponsor, the borrower sponsor would not seek approval of a similar debtor-in-possession loan, or that a bankruptcy court would not approve a debtor-in-possession loan that included such subsidiary guarantees and second liens on such subsidiaries’ properties.

 

Certain of the borrowers may be partnerships. The laws governing limited partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a general partner will cause a person to cease to be a general partner of the limited partnership, unless otherwise provided in writing in the limited partnership agreement. This provision may be construed as an “ipso facto” clause and, in the event of the general partner’s bankruptcy, may not be enforceable. Certain limited partnership agreements of the borrowers may provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the related general partner constitutes an event of withdrawal (assuming the enforceability of the clause is not challenged in bankruptcy proceedings or, if challenged, is upheld) that might trigger the dissolution of the limited partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets, unless (i) at the time there was at least one other general partner and the written provisions of the limited partnership permit the business of the limited partnership to be carried on by the remaining general partner and that general partner does so or (ii) the written provisions of the limited partnership agreement permit the limited partners to agree within a specified time frame (often 60 days) after the withdrawal to continue the business of the limited partnership and to the appointment of one or more general partners and the limited partners do so. In addition, the laws governing general partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or state bankruptcy laws with respect to a general partner of the partnerships triggers the dissolution of the partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets. Those state laws, however, may not be enforceable or effective in a bankruptcy case. Limited liability companies may be subjected to similar treatment as that described in this prospectus with respect to limited partnerships. The dissolution of a borrower, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets could result in an acceleration of its payment obligation under the borrower’s mortgage loan, which may reduce the yield on the Offered Certificates in the same manner as a principal prepayment.

 

In addition, the bankruptcy of the general or limited partner of a borrower that is a partnership, or the bankruptcy of a member of a borrower that is a limited liability company or the bankruptcy of a shareholder of a borrower that is a corporation may provide the opportunity in the bankruptcy case of the partner,

 

 411

 

 

member or shareholder to obtain an order from a court consolidating the assets and liabilities of the partner, member or shareholder with those of the mortgagor pursuant to the doctrines of substantive consolidation or piercing the corporate veil. In such a case, the respective mortgaged property, for example, would become property of the estate of the bankrupt partner, member or shareholder. Not only would the mortgaged property be available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the partner, member or shareholder, but an automatic stay would apply to any attempt by the trustee to exercise remedies with respect to the mortgaged property. However, such an occurrence should not affect a lender’s status as a secured creditor with respect to the mortgagor or its security interest in the mortgaged property.

 

A borrower that is a limited partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have a single purpose entity as its sole general partner, and a borrower that is a general partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have as its general partners only entities that are single purpose entities. A borrower that is a limited liability company may be required by the loan documents to have a single purpose member or a springing member. All borrowers that are tenants-in-common may be required by the loan documents to be single purpose entities. These provisions are designed to mitigate the risk of the dissolution or bankruptcy of the borrower partnership or its general partner, a borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common. However, we cannot assure you that any borrower partnership or its general partner, or any borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common, will not dissolve or become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Environmental Considerations

 

General

 

A lender may be subject to environmental risks when taking a security interest in real property. Of particular concern may be properties that are or have been used for industrial, manufacturing, military or disposal activity. Such environmental risks include the possible diminution of the value of a contaminated property or, as discussed below, potential liability for clean-up costs or other remedial actions that could exceed the value of the property or the amount of the lender’s loan. In certain circumstances, a lender may decide to abandon a contaminated mortgaged property as collateral for its loan rather than foreclose and risk liability for clean-up costs.

 

Superlien Laws

 

Under the laws of many states, contamination on a property may give rise to a lien on the property for clean-up costs. In several states, such a lien has priority over all existing liens, including those of existing mortgages. In these states, the lien of a mortgage may lose its priority to such a “superlien.”

The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), imposes strict liability on present and past “owners” and “operators” of contaminated real property for the costs of clean-up. A secured lender may be liable as an “owner” or “operator” of a contaminated mortgaged property if agents or employees of the lender have participated in the management or operation of such mortgaged property. Such liability may exist even if the lender did not cause or contribute to the contamination and regardless of whether the lender has actually taken possession of a mortgaged property through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Moreover, such liability is not limited to the original or unamortized principal balance of a loan or to the value of the property securing a loan. Excluded from CERCLA’s definition of “owner” or “operator”, however, is a person “who, without participating in the management of the facility, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest”. This is the so called “secured creditor exemption.”

 

The Asset Conservation, Lender Liability and Deposit Insurance Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”) amended, among other things, the provisions of CERCLA with respect to lender liability and the secured creditor exemption. The 1996 Act offers protection to lenders by defining the activities in which a lender can engage and still have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption. In order for a lender to be deemed to have participated in the management of a mortgaged property, the lender must actually participate in the

 

 412

 

 

operational affairs of the property of the borrower. The 1996 Act provides that “merely having the capacity to influence, or unexercised right to control” operations does not constitute participation in management. A lender will lose the protection of the secured creditor exemption if it exercises decision-making control over the borrower’s environmental compliance and hazardous substance handling or disposal practices, or assumes day-to-day management of environmental or substantially all other operational functions of the mortgaged property. The 1996 Act also provides that a lender will continue to have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption even if it forecloses on a mortgaged property, purchases it at a foreclosure sale or accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure provided that the lender seeks to sell the mortgaged property at the earliest practicable commercially reasonable time on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Certain Other Federal and State Laws

 

Many states have statutes similar to CERCLA, and not all of those statutes provide for a secured creditor exemption. In addition, under federal law, there is potential liability relating to hazardous wastes and underground storage tanks under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

 

Some federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the management, removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials. These laws, as well as common law standards, may impose liability for releases of or exposure to asbestos-containing materials, and provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with those releases.

 

Federal legislation requires owners of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or purchasers any known lead-based paint hazards and will impose treble damages for any failure to disclose. In addition, the ingestion of lead-based paint chips or dust particles by children can result in lead poisoning. If lead-based paint hazards exist at a property, then the owner of that property may be held liable for injuries and for the costs of removal or encapsulation of the lead-based paint.

 

In a few states, transfers of some types of properties are conditioned upon clean-up of contamination prior to transfer. In these cases, a lender that becomes the owner of a property through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, may be required to clean-up the contamination before selling or otherwise transferring the property.

 

Beyond statute-based environmental liability, there exist common law causes of action (for example, actions based on nuisance or on toxic tort resulting in death, personal injury or damage to property) related to hazardous environmental conditions on a property. While it may be more difficult to hold a lender liable under common law causes of action, unanticipated or uninsured liabilities of the borrower may jeopardize the borrower’s ability to meet its loan obligations or may decrease the re-sale value of the collateral.

 

Additional Considerations

 

The cost of remediating hazardous substance contamination at a property can be substantial. If a lender becomes liable, it can bring an action for contribution against the owner or operator who created the environmental hazard, but that individual or entity may be without substantial assets. Accordingly, it is possible that such costs could become a liability of the issuing entity and occasion a loss to the certificateholders.

 

If a lender forecloses on a mortgage secured by a property, the operations on which are subject to environmental laws and regulations, the lender will be required to operate the property in accordance with those laws and regulations. Such compliance may entail substantial expense, especially in the case of industrial or manufacturing properties.

 

In addition, a lender may be obligated to disclose environmental conditions on a property to government entities and/or to prospective buyers (including prospective buyers at a foreclosure sale or following foreclosure). Such disclosure may decrease the amount that prospective buyers are willing to pay for the affected property, sometimes substantially, and thereby decrease the ability of the lender to recover its investment in a loan upon foreclosure.

 

 413

 

 

Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance Provisions

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses that purport to permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the loan if the borrower transfers or encumbers the related mortgaged property. The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (the “Garn Act”) generally preempts state laws that prohibit the enforcement of due-on-sale clauses and permits lenders to enforce these clauses in accordance with their terms, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Garn Act and related regulations. Accordingly, a lender may nevertheless have the right to accelerate the maturity of a mortgage loan that contains a “due-on-sale” provision upon transfer of an interest in the property, without regard to the lender’s ability to demonstrate that a sale threatens its legitimate security interest.

 

Subordinate Financing

 

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans may not restrict the ability of the borrower to use the mortgaged property as security for one or more additional loans, or such restrictions may be unenforceable. Where a borrower encumbers a mortgaged property with one or more junior liens, the senior lender is subjected to additional risk. First, the borrower may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple loans. Moreover, if the subordinate financing permits recourse to the borrower (as-is frequently the case) and the senior loan does not, a borrower may have more incentive to repay sums due on the subordinate loan. Second, acts of the senior lender that prejudice the junior lender or impair the junior lender’s security may create a superior equity in favor of the junior lender. For example, if the borrower and the senior lender agree to an increase in the principal amount of or the interest rate payable on the senior loan, the senior lender may lose its priority to the extent any existing junior lender is harmed or the borrower is additionally burdened. Third, if the borrower defaults on the senior loan and/or any junior loan or loans, the existence of junior loans and actions taken by junior lenders can impair the security available to the senior lender and can interfere with or delay the taking of action by the senior lender. Moreover, the bankruptcy of a junior lender may operate to stay foreclosure or similar proceedings by the senior lender.

 

Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments

 

Promissory notes and mortgages may contain provisions that obligate the borrower to pay a late charge or additional interest if payments are not timely made, and in some circumstances, may prohibit prepayments for a specified period and/or condition prepayments upon the borrower’s payment of prepayment fees or yield maintenance penalties. In certain states, there are or may be specific limitations upon the late charges which a lender may collect from a borrower for delinquent payments. Certain states also limit the amounts that a lender may collect from a borrower as an additional charge if the loan is prepaid. In addition, the enforceability of provisions that provide for prepayment fees or penalties upon an involuntary prepayment is unclear under the laws of many states.

 

Applicability of Usury Laws

 

Title V of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (“Title V”) provides that state usury limitations will not apply to certain types of residential (including multifamily) first mortgage loans originated by certain lenders after March 31, 1980. Title V authorized any state to reimpose interest rate limits by adopting, before April 1, 1983, a law or constitutional provision that expressly rejects application of the federal law. In addition, even where Title V is not so rejected, any state is authorized by the law to adopt a provision limiting discount points or other charges on mortgage loans covered by Title V. Certain states have taken action to reimpose interest rate limits and/or to limit discount points or other charges.

 

Statutes differ in their provisions as to the consequences of a usurious loan. One group of statutes requires the lender to forfeit the interest due above the applicable limit or impose a specified penalty. Under this statutory scheme, the borrower may cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust upon paying its debt with lawful interest, and the lender may foreclose, but only for the debt plus lawful interest. A second group of statutes is more severe. A violation of this type of usury law results in the invalidation of the transaction, thereby permitting the borrower to cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust without any payment or prohibiting the lender from foreclosing.

 

 414

 

 

Americans with Disabilities Act

 

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and related regulations (collectively, the “ADA”), in order to protect individuals with disabilities, public accommodations (such as hotel properties, restaurants, shopping centers, hospitals, schools and social service center establishments) must remove architectural and communication barriers which are structural in nature from existing places of public accommodation to the extent “readily achievable”. In addition, under the ADA, alterations to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility are to be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, such altered portions are readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. The “readily achievable” standard takes into account, among other factors, the financial resources of the affected site, owner, landlord or other applicable person. In addition to imposing a possible financial burden on the borrower in its capacity as owner or landlord, the ADA may also impose such requirements on a foreclosing lender who succeeds to the interest of the borrower as owner or landlord. Furthermore, since the “readily achievable” standard may vary depending on the financial condition of the owner or landlord, a foreclosing lender who is financially more capable than the borrower of complying with the requirements of the ADA may be subject to more stringent requirements than those to which the borrower is subject.

 

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

 

Under the terms of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act as amended (the “Relief Act”), a borrower who enters military service after the origination of such borrower’s mortgage loan (including a borrower who was in reserve status and is called to active duty after origination of the mortgage loan), upon notification by such borrower, will not be charged interest, including fees and charges, in excess of 6% per annum during the period of such borrower’s active duty status. In addition to adjusting the interest, the lender must forgive any such interest in excess of 6% unless a court or administrative agency orders otherwise upon application of the lender. The Relief Act applies to individuals who are members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard and officers of the U.S. Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assigned to duty with the military. Because the Relief Act applies to individuals who enter military service (including reservists who are called to active duty) after origination of the related mortgage loan, no information can be provided as to the number of loans with individuals as borrowers that may be affected by the Relief Act. Application of the Relief Act would adversely affect, for an indeterminate period of time, the ability of a master servicer or special servicer to collect full amounts of interest on certain of the mortgage loans. Any shortfalls in interest collections resulting from the application of the Relief Act would result in a reduction of the amounts distributable to the holders of certificates, and would not be covered by advances or, any form of credit support provided in connection with the certificates. In addition, the Relief Act imposes limitations that would impair the ability of a lender to foreclose on an affected mortgage loan during the borrower’s period of active duty status, and, under certain circumstances, during an additional three-month period thereafter.

 

Anti-Money Laundering, Economic Sanctions and Bribery

 

Many jurisdictions have adopted wide-ranging anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and regulations (collectively, the “Requirements”). Any of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA could be requested or required to obtain certain assurances from prospective investors intending to purchase certificates and to retain such information or to disclose information pertaining to them to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. Failure to honor any request by the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to provide requested information or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable for the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to comply with any Requirements, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal) may result in, among other things, a forced sale to another investor of such investor’s certificates. In addition, it is expected that each of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters and the other parties to the PSA will comply with the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (also known as the “Patriot Act”) and any other anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption or anti-bribery

 

 415

 

 

laws, and regulations of the United States and other countries, and will disclose any information required or requested by authorities in connection with such compliance.

 

Potential Forfeiture of Assets

 

Federal law provides that assets (including property purchased or improved with assets) derived from criminal activity or otherwise tainted, or used in the commission of certain offenses, is subject to the blocking requirements of economic sanctions laws and regulations, and can be blocked and/or seized and ordered forfeited to the United States of America. The offenses that can trigger such a blocking and/or seizure and forfeiture include, among others, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, economic sanctions, and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the regulations issued pursuant to that act, as well as the narcotic drug laws. In many instances, the United States may seize the property even before a conviction occurs.

 

In the event of a forfeiture proceeding, a lender may be able to establish its interest in the property by proving that (a) its mortgage was executed and recorded before the commission of the illegal conduct from which the assets used to purchase or improve the property were derived or before the commission of any other crime upon which the forfeiture is based, or (b) the lender, at the time of the execution of the mortgage, “did not know or was reasonably without cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture”. However, there is no assurance that such a defense will be successful.

Yield and Maturity Considerations

 

Yield Considerations

 

General

 

The yield to maturity on the Offered Certificates will depend upon the price paid by the investors, the rate and timing of the distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the applicable class of Offered Certificates, the extent to which Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums allocated to the class of Offered Certificates are collected, and the rate, timing and severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans and the extent to which such losses are allocable in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the class of Offered Certificates, as well as prevailing interest rates at the time of payment or loss realization.

 

Rate and Timing of Principal Payments

 

The rate and amount of distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of any class of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates and the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates will be directly related to the rate of payments of principal (both scheduled and unscheduled) on the Mortgage Loans, as well as borrower defaults and the severity of losses occurring upon a default and the resulting rate and timing of collections made in connection with liquidations of Mortgage Loans due to these defaults. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will be affected by their amortization schedules, lockout periods, defeasance provisions, provisions relating to the release and/or application of earnout reserves, provisions requiring prepayments in connection with the release of real property collateral, requirements to pay Yield Maintenance Charges or prepayment premiums in connection with principal payments, the dates on which balloon payments are due, property release provisions, provisions relating to the application or release of earnout reserves, and any extensions of maturity dates by the master servicer or the special servicer. While voluntary prepayments of some Mortgage Loans are generally prohibited during applicable prepayment lockout periods, effective prepayments may occur if a sufficiently significant portion of a mortgaged property is lost due to casualty or condemnation. In addition, such distributions in reduction of Certificate Balances of the respective classes of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates may result from repurchases of, or substitutions for, Mortgage Loans made by the sponsors due to missing or defective documentation or breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”, purchases of the Mortgage Loans in the manner described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”, or the exercise of purchase options by the holder of a mezzanine loan. To the extent a Mortgage Loan requires payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or prepayment premium in connection with a voluntary prepayment, any such Yield Maintenance Charge or prepayment premium generally is not due in connection with a prepayment due to casualty or condemnation, is not included in the purchase price of a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased due to a breach of a representation or warranty or otherwise, and may not be enforceable or collectible upon a default.

 

Because the certificates with Notional Amounts are not entitled to distributions of principal, the yield on such certificates will be extremely sensitive to prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to the extent distributed to reduce the related Notional Amount of the applicable class of certificates. With

 

 418

 

 

respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding. As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

 

The extent to which the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates may vary from the anticipated yield will depend upon the degree to which the certificates are purchased at a discount or premium and when, and to what degree, payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans are in turn distributed on the certificates or, in the case of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates with a Notional Amount, applied to reduce their Notional Amounts. An investor should consider, in the case of any certificate (other than a certificate with a Notional Amount) purchased at a discount, the risk that a slower than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield and, in the case of any certificate purchased at a premium (including certificates with Notional Amounts), the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield. In general, the earlier a payment of principal on the Mortgage Loans is distributed or otherwise results in reduction of the Certificate Balance of a certificate purchased at a discount or premium, the greater will be the effect on an investor’s yield to maturity. As a result, the effect on an investor’s yield of principal payments distributed on an investor’s certificates occurring at a rate higher (or lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during any particular period would not be fully offset by a subsequent like reduction (or increase) in the rate of principal payments.

 

The yield on each of the classes of certificates that have a Pass-Through Rate equal to, limited by, or based on, the WAC Rate could (or in the case of any class of certificates with a Pass-Through Rate equal to, or based on, the WAC Rate, would) be adversely affected if the Mortgage Loans with higher Mortgage Rates prepay faster than the Mortgage Loans with lower Mortgage Rates. The Pass-Through Rates on these classes of certificates may be adversely affected by a decrease in the WAC Rate even if principal prepayments do not occur.

 

Losses and Shortfalls

 

The Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced without distributions of principal as a result of the occurrence and allocation of Realized Losses, reducing the maximum amount distributable in respect of principal on the Offered Certificates that are Principal Balance Certificates as well as the amount of interest that would have otherwise been payable on the Offered Certificates in the absence of such reduction. In general, a Realized Loss occurs when the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan is reduced without an equal distribution to applicable Certificateholders in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the certificates. Realized Losses may occur in connection with a default on a Mortgage Loan, acceptance of a discounted pay-off, the liquidation of the related Mortgaged Properties, a reduction in the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court or pursuant to a modification, a recovery by the master servicer or trustee of a Nonrecoverable Advance on a Distribution Date or the incurrence of certain unanticipated or default-related costs and expenses (such as interest on Advances, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees). Any reduction of the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below as a result of the application of Realized Losses will also reduce the Notional Amount of the related certificates.

 

Interest-Only
Class of Certificates
  Notional Amount  Underlying Class
Class X-A  $634,610,000  Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class
A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class
A-S certificates
       
Class X-B  $76,031,000  Class B and Class C certificates

 

 419

 

 

Certificateholders are not entitled to receive distributions of Periodic Payments when due except to the extent they are either covered by a P&I Advance or actually received. Consequently, any defaulted Periodic Payment for which no such P&I Advance is made will tend to extend the weighted average lives of the Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates, whether or not a permitted extension of the due date of the related Mortgage Loan has been completed.

 

Certain Relevant Factors Affecting Loan Payments and Defaults

 

The rate and timing of principal payments and defaults and the severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation, the availability of credit for commercial or multifamily real estate, prevailing interest rates, the terms of the Mortgage Loans (for example, due-on-sale clauses, lockout periods or Yield Maintenance Charges, release of property provisions and amortization terms that require balloon payments), the demographics and relative economic vitality of the areas in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and the general supply and demand for rental properties in those areas, the quality of management of the Mortgaged Properties, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, possible changes in tax laws and other opportunities for investment. See “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

 

The rate of prepayment on the pool of Mortgage Loans is likely to be affected by prevailing market interest rates for Mortgage Loans of a comparable type, term and risk level as the Mortgage Loans. When the prevailing market interest rate is below a mortgage interest rate, a borrower may have an increased incentive to refinance its Mortgage Loan. Although the Mortgage Loans contain provisions designed to mitigate the likelihood of an early loan repayment, we cannot assure you that the related borrowers will refrain from prepaying their Mortgage Loans due to the existence of these provisions, or that involuntary prepayments will not occur. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

 

With respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for the sale of individual properties and the severance of the related debt and the assumption by the transferee of such portion of the Mortgage Loan as-is allocable to the individual property acquired by that transferee, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for partial releases of individual Mortgaged Properties during a lockout period or during such time as a Yield Maintenance Charge would otherwise be payable, which could result in a prepayment of a portion of the initial principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or prepayment premium. Additionally, in the case of a partial release of an individual Mortgaged Property, the related release amount in many cases is greater than the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property being released, which would result in a greater than proportionate paydown of the Mortgage Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Partial Releases”.

 

Depending on prevailing market interest rates, the outlook for market interest rates and economic conditions generally, some borrowers may sell Mortgaged Properties in order to realize their equity in the Mortgaged Property, to meet cash flow needs or to make other investments. In addition, some borrowers may be motivated by federal and state tax laws (which are subject to change) to sell Mortgaged Properties prior to the exhaustion of tax depreciation benefits.

 

We make no representation as to the particular factors that will affect the rate and timing of prepayments and defaults on the Mortgage Loans, as to the relative importance of those factors, as to the percentage of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that will be prepaid or as to which a default will have occurred as of any date or as to the overall rate of prepayment or default on the Mortgage Loans.

 

Delay in Payment of Distributions

 

Because each monthly distribution is made on each Distribution Date, which is at least 15 days after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period for the certificates, the effective yield to the holders of such certificates will be lower than the yield that would otherwise be produced by the applicable Pass-Through Rates and purchase prices (assuming the prices did not account for the delay).

 

 420

 

 

Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts

 

The yield to maturity of the certificates with Notional Amounts will be highly sensitive to the rate and timing of reductions made to the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below, including by reason of prepayments and principal losses on the Mortgage Loans and other factors described above. The yield to maturity of the certificates with Notional Amounts will be highly sensitive to the rate and timing of reductions made to the Certificate Balances of the related certificates indicated in the table below, including by reason of prepayments and principal losses on the Mortgage Loans and other factors described above.

 

Interest-Only
Class of Certificates

 

Notional Amount

 

Underlying Class

Class X-A    $634,610,000   Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class A-S certificates
Class X-B    $76,031,000   Class B and Class C certificates

 

Any optional termination by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates would result in prepayment in full of the Offered Certificates and would have an adverse effect on the yield of a class of the certificates with Notional Amounts because a termination would have an effect similar to a principal prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loans and, as a result, investors in these certificates and any other Offered Certificates purchased at premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”.

 

Investors in the certificates with Notional Amounts should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of prepayment or other liquidation of the Mortgage Loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments.

 

Weighted Average Life

 

The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate refers to the average amount of time that will elapse from the date of its issuance until each dollar allocable to principal of the certificate is distributed to the related investor. The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate will be influenced by, among other things, the rate at which principal on the mortgage loans is paid or otherwise received, which may be in the form of scheduled amortization, voluntary prepayments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. Distributions among the various classes of certificates will be made as set forth under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

 

Prepayments on Mortgage Loans may be measured by a prepayment standard or model. The “Constant Prepayment Rate” or “CPR” model represents an assumed constant annual rate of prepayment each month, expressed as a per annum percentage of the then-scheduled principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans. The “CPY” model represents an assumed CPR prepayment rate after any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted and any applicable yield maintenance period. The model used in this prospectus is the CPY model. As used in each of the following tables, the column headed “0% CPY” assumes that none of the Mortgage Loans is prepaid before its maturity date. The columns headed “25% CPY”, “50% CPY”, “75% CPY” and “100% CPY” assume that prepayments on the Mortgage Loans are made at those levels of CPR following the expiration of any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted and any applicable yield maintenance period (except as described below). We cannot assure you, however, that prepayments of the Mortgage Loans will conform to any level of CPY, and we make no representation that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the levels of CPY shown or at any other prepayment rate.

 

The following tables indicate the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of each class of the Offered Certificates that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at various CPYs and the corresponding weighted average life of each class of Offered Certificates. The tables have been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions (the “Modeling Assumptions”), among others:

 

 421

 

 

scheduled Periodic Payments including payments due at maturity of principal and/or interest on the Mortgage Loans will be received on a timely basis and will be distributed on the 15th day of the related month, beginning in August 2017;

 

the Mortgage Rate in effect for each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date will remain in effect to the related maturity date and will be adjusted as required pursuant to the definition of Mortgage Rate;

 

the mortgage loan sellers will not be required to repurchase any Mortgage Loan, and none of the holders of the Controlling Class (or any other Certificateholder), the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates will exercise its option to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and thereby cause an early termination of the issuing entity and no holder of any mezzanine debt or other indebtedness will exercise its option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan;

 

any principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans will be received on their respective Due Dates after the expiration of any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted, and any applicable yield maintenance period, in each case, at the respective levels of CPY set forth in the tables (without regard to any limitations in such Mortgage Loans on partial voluntary principal prepayment);

 

no Prepayment Interest Shortfalls are incurred and no prepayment premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges are collected;

 

the Closing Date occurs on or about July 31, 2017;

 

the Pass-Through Rates, initial Certificate Balances and initial Notional Amounts of the respective classes of Offered Certificates are as described in this prospectus;

 

the Administrative Cost Rate is calculated on the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Mortgage Loans;

 

no reserves, earnouts, holdbacks, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds are applied to prepay any related Mortgage Loan in whole or in part;

 

no additional trust fund expenses are incurred;

 

no property releases (or related re-amortizations) occur;

 

the optional termination is not exercised;

 

there are no modifications or maturity date extensions in respect of the Mortgage Loans;

 

with respect to four (4) Mortgage Loans secured by forty-four (44) Mortgaged Properties identified as “245 Park Avenue”, “Gateway Net Lease Portfolio”, “211 Main Street” and “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 9.2%, 8.6%, 5.5% and 3.7%, respectively, of the Initial Pool Balance, for purposes of assumed CPY prepayment rates, prepayments are determined on the basis of the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan only; and

 

with respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan secured by one (1) Mortgaged Property identified as “West Town Mall” on Annex A-1, representing approximately 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, amortizes based on the assumed principal payment schedule attached to this prospectus as Annex F.

 

To the extent that the Mortgage Loans have characteristics that differ from those assumed in preparing the tables set forth below, a class of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates may mature earlier or later than indicated by the tables. The tables set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and it is highly unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will actually prepay at any constant rate until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the same rate. In addition, variations in the actual prepayment

experience and the balance of the Mortgage Loans that prepay may increase or decrease the percentages of initial Certificate Balances (and weighted average lives) shown in the following tables. These variations may occur even if the average prepayment experience of the Mortgage Loans were to equal any of the specified CPY percentages. Investors should not rely on the prepayment assumptions set forth in this prospectus and are urged to conduct their own analyses of the rates at which the Mortgage Loans may be expected to prepay, based on their own assumptions. Based on the foregoing assumptions, the following tables indicate the resulting weighted average lives of each class of Offered Certificates that is also a Principal Balance Certificate and set forth the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of the class of the certificate that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at the indicated CPYs.

Pre-Tax Yield to Maturity Tables

 

The following tables indicate the approximate pre-tax yield to maturity on a corporate bond equivalent basis on the Offered Certificates for the specified CPYs based on the assumptions set forth under “—Weighted Average Life” above. It was further assumed that the purchase price of the Offered Certificates is as specified in the tables below, expressed as a percentage of the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, plus accrued interest from July 1, 2017 to the Closing Date.

 

The yields set forth in the following tables were calculated by determining the monthly discount rates that, when applied to the assumed streams of cash flows to be paid on the applicable class of Offered Certificates, would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows to equal the assumed purchase price of such class, and by converting such monthly rates to semi-annual corporate bond equivalent rates. Such calculations do not take into account shortfalls in collection of interest due to prepayments (or other liquidations) of the Mortgage Loans or the interest rates at which investors may be able to reinvest funds received by them as distributions on the applicable class of certificates (and, accordingly, do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the applicable class of Offered Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered).

 

The characteristics of the Mortgage Loans may differ from those assumed in preparing the tables below. In addition, we cannot assure you that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions at any of the rates shown in the tables or at any other particular rate, that the cash flows on the applicable class of Offered Certificates will correspond to the cash flows shown in this prospectus or that the aggregate purchase price of such class of Offered Certificates will be as assumed. In addition, it is unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions at any of the specified CPYs until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will so prepay at the same rate. Timing of changes in the rate of prepayments may significantly affect the actual yield to maturity to investors, even if the average rate of principal prepayments is consistent with the expectations of investors. Investors must make their own decisions as to the appropriate prepayment assumption to be used in deciding whether to purchase any class of Offered Certificates.

 

For purposes of this prospectus, prepayment assumptions with respect to the Mortgage Loans are presented in terms of the CPY model described under “—Weighted Average Life” above.

Material Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

General

 

The following is a general discussion of the anticipated material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates. The discussion below does not purport to address all federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to particular categories of investors (such as banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, foreign persons, investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, and investors that hold the certificates as part of a “straddle” or “conversion transaction”), some of which may be subject to special rules. The authorities on which this discussion is based are subject to change or differing interpretations, and any such change or interpretation could apply retroactively. This discussion reflects the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as regulations (the “REMIC Regulations”) promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local or any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates.

 

Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) elections will be made with respect to designated portions of the issuing entity (the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC”, and, together, the “Trust REMICs”). The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans and the related proceeds of the Mortgage Loans and certain other assets and will issue (i) certain classes of regular interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”) to the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

 

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates (the “Regular Interests”), each of which represents a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

 

Qualification as a REMIC requires ongoing compliance with certain conditions. Assuming (i) the making of appropriate elections, (ii) compliance with the PSA and each Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) compliance with the provisions of any Non-Serviced PSA and any amendments thereto and the continued qualification of each REMIC formed thereunder and (iv) compliance with any changes in the law, including any amendments to the Code or applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, in the opinion of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, special tax counsel to the depositor, (a) each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC on the Closing Date and thereafter, (b) each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, (c) each of the Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (d) the Class R certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in each Trust REMIC.

 

Qualification as a REMIC

 

In order for each Trust REMIC to qualify as a REMIC, there must be ongoing compliance on the part of such Trust REMIC with the requirements set forth in the Code. Each Trust REMIC must fulfill an asset test, which requires that no more than a de minimis portion of the assets of such Trust REMIC, as of the close of the third calendar month beginning after the Closing Date (which for purposes of this discussion is the date of the issuance of the Regular Interests, the “Startup Day”) and at all times thereafter, may consist of assets other than “qualified mortgages” and “permitted investments”. The REMIC Regulations provide a safe harbor pursuant to which the de minimis requirements will be met if at all times the aggregate adjusted basis of the nonqualified assets is less than 1% of the aggregate adjusted basis of all such Trust REMIC’s assets. Each Trust REMIC also must provide “reasonable arrangements” to prevent its residual interest from being held by “disqualified organizations” or their agents and must furnish applicable tax information to transferors or agents that violate this restriction. The PSA will provide that no legal or beneficial interest in the Class R

 

 433

 

 

certificates may be transferred or registered unless certain conditions, designed to prevent violation of this restriction, are met. Consequently, it is expected that each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC at all times that any of its regular interests are outstanding.

 

A qualified mortgage is any obligation that is principally secured by an interest in real property and that is either transferred to a REMIC on the Startup Day or is purchased by a REMIC within a three (3) month period thereafter pursuant to a fixed price contract in effect on the Startup Day. Qualified mortgages include (i) whole mortgage loans or split note interests in such mortgage loans, such as the Mortgage Loans; provided that, in general, (a) the fair market value of the real property security (including buildings and structural components of the real property security and reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property security that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property security that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is at least 80% of the aggregate principal balance of such Mortgage Loan either at origination or as of the Startup Day (a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 125% with respect to the real property security) or (b) substantially all the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan or the underlying mortgages were used to acquire, improve or protect an interest in real property that, at the date of origination, was the only security for the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) regular interests in another REMIC, the Lower-Tier Regular Interests that will be held by the Upper-Tier REMIC. If a Mortgage Loan was not in fact principally secured by real property or is otherwise not a qualified mortgage, it must be disposed of within 90 days of discovery of such defect, or otherwise ceases to be a qualified mortgage after such 90-day period.

 

Permitted investments include “cash flow investments”, “qualified reserve assets” and “foreclosure property”. A cash flow investment is an investment, earning a return in the nature of interest, of amounts received on or with respect to qualified mortgages for a temporary period, not exceeding 13 months, until the next scheduled distribution to holders of interests in the REMIC. A qualified reserve asset is any intangible property held for investment that is part of any reasonably required reserve maintained by the REMIC to provide for payments of expenses of the REMIC or amounts due on its regular or residual interests in the event of defaults (including delinquencies) on the qualified mortgages, lower than expected reinvestment returns, Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and certain other contingencies. The Trust REMICs will not hold any qualified reserve assets. Foreclosure property is real property acquired by a REMIC in connection with the default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage and maintained by the REMIC in compliance with applicable rules and personal property that is incidental to such real property; provided that the mortgage loan sellers had no knowledge or reason to know, as of the Startup Day, that such a default had occurred or would occur. Foreclosure property may generally not be held after the close of the third calendar year beginning after the date the issuing entity acquires such property, with one extension that may be granted by the IRS.

 

A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will fail to be a qualified mortgage if it is “significantly modified” unless default is “reasonably foreseeable” or where the servicer believes there is a “significant risk of default” upon maturity of the mortgage loan or at an earlier date, and that by making such modification the risk of default is substantially reduced. A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will not be considered to have been “significantly modified” following the release of the lien on a portion of the real property collateral if (a) the release is pursuant to a defeasance permitted under the mortgage loan documents that occurs more than two years after the startup day of the REMIC or (b) following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is not more than 125% with respect to the real property security. Furthermore, if the release is not pursuant to a defeasance and following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is greater than 125%, the mortgage loan will continue to be a qualified mortgage if the release is part of a “qualified paydown transaction” in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2010-30.

 

In addition to the foregoing requirements, the various interests in a REMIC also must meet certain requirements. All of the interests in a REMIC must be either of the following: (i) one or more classes of regular interests or (ii) a single class of residual interests on which distributions, if any, are made pro rata. A regular interest is an interest in a REMIC that is issued on the Startup Day with fixed terms, is designated as a regular interest, and unconditionally entitles the holder to receive a specified principal amount (or other similar amount), and provides that interest payments (or other similar amounts), if any, at or before maturity either are payable based on a fixed rate or a qualified variable rate, or consist of a specified, nonvarying

 

 434

 

 

portion of the interest payments on the qualified mortgages. The rate on the specified portion may be a fixed rate, a variable rate, or the difference between one fixed or qualified variable rate and another fixed or qualified variable rate. The specified principal amount of a regular interest that provides for interest payments consisting of a specified, nonvarying portion of interest payments on qualified mortgages may be zero. An interest in a REMIC may be treated as a regular interest even if payments of principal with respect to such interest are subordinated to payments on other regular interests or the residual interest in the REMIC, and are dependent on the absence of defaults or delinquencies on qualified mortgages or permitted investments, lower than reasonably expected returns on permitted investments, expenses incurred by the REMIC or Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. A residual interest is an interest in a REMIC other than a regular interest that is issued on the Startup Day that is designated as a residual interest. Accordingly, each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, each class of the Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Class R certificates will represent the sole class of residual interests in each Trust REMIC.

 

If an entity fails to comply with one or more of the ongoing requirements of the Code for status as a REMIC during any taxable year, the Code provides that the entity or applicable portion of it will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and thereafter. In this event, any entity with debt obligations with two or more maturities, such as the Trust REMICs, may be treated as a separate association taxable as a corporation under Treasury regulations, and the certificates may be treated as equity interests in such an association. The Code, however, authorizes the Treasury Department to issue regulations that address situations where failure to meet one or more of the requirements for REMIC status occurs inadvertently and in good faith. Investors should be aware, however, that the Conference Committee Report to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “1986 Act”) indicates that the relief may be accompanied by sanctions, such as the imposition of a corporate tax on all or a portion of a REMIC’s income for the period of time in which the requirements for REMIC status are not satisfied.

 

Status of Offered Certificates

 

Offered Certificates held by a real estate investment trust will constitute “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), and interest (including original issue discount) on the Offered Certificates will be considered “interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(B) in the same proportion that, for both purposes, the assets of the issuing entity would be so treated. For purposes of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans that are reinvested pending distribution to holders of Offered Certificates qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates held by a domestic building and loan association will be treated as “loans . . . secured by an interest in real property which is . . . residential real property” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v) or as other assets described in Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C) only to the extent the Mortgage Loans are secured by residential real property. As of the Cut-off Date, six (6) of the Mortgaged Properties identified as “Chartwell Court”, “Main Street Court”, “478 Third Avenue”, “Village Square Apartments”, “Georgetown South Apartments” and “South Haven Village” on Annex A-1, securing six (6) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 5.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, are multifamily properties or mixed-use properties with multifamily components. Holders of Offered Certificates should consult their tax advisors whether the foregoing percentage or some other percentage applies to their Offered Certificates. If at all times 95% or more of the assets of the issuing entity qualify for each of the foregoing treatments, the Offered Certificates will qualify for the corresponding status in their entirety. For the purposes of the foregoing determinations, the Trust REMICs will be treated as a single REMIC. In addition, Mortgage Loans that have been defeased with government securities will not qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates will be “qualified mortgages” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) for another REMIC if transferred to that REMIC within a prescribed time period in exchange for regular or residual interests in that REMIC. Moreover, Offered Certificates held by certain financial institutions will constitute an “evidence of indebtedness” within the meaning of Code Section 582(c)(1).

Taxation of Regular Interests

 

General

 

Each class of Regular Interests represents a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Regular Interests will represent newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes. In general, interest, original issue discount and market discount on a Regular Interest will be treated as ordinary income to the holder of a Regular Interest (a “Regular Interestholder”), and principal payments on a Regular Interest will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Regular Interestholder’s basis in the Regular Interest. Regular Interestholders must use the accrual method of accounting with regard to the Regular Interests, regardless of the method of accounting otherwise used by such Regular Interestholders.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

Holders of Regular Interests issued with original issue discount generally must include original issue discount in ordinary income for federal income tax purposes as it accrues in accordance with the constant yield method, which takes into account the compounding of interest, in advance of receipt of the cash attributable to such income. The following discussion is based in part on temporary and final Treasury regulations (the “OID Regulations”) under Code Sections 1271 through 1273 and 1275 and in part on the provisions of the 1986 Act. Regular Interestholders should be aware, however, that the OID Regulations do not adequately address certain issues relevant to prepayable securities, such as the Regular Interests. To the extent such issues are not addressed in the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will apply the methodology described in the Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act. No assurance can be provided that the IRS will not take a different position as to those matters not currently addressed by the OID Regulations. Moreover, the OID Regulations include an anti-abuse rule allowing the IRS to apply or depart from the OID Regulations if necessary or appropriate to ensure a reasonable tax result in light of the applicable statutory provisions. A tax result will not be considered unreasonable under the anti-abuse rule, however, in the absence of a substantial effect on the present value of a taxpayer’s tax liability. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the discussion in this prospectus and the appropriate method for reporting interest and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interests.

 

Each Regular Interest will be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of determining the original issue discount includible in a Regular Interestholder’s income. The total amount of original issue discount on a Regular Interest is the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the Regular Interest over its “issue price”. The issue price of a class of Regular Interests is the first price at which a substantial amount of Regular Interests of such class is sold to investors (excluding bond houses, brokers and underwriters). Although unclear under the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will treat the issue price of Regular Interests for which there is no substantial sale as of the issue date as the fair market value of such Regular Interests as of the issue date. The issue price of the Regular Interests also includes the amount paid by an initial Regular Interestholder for accrued interest that relates to a period prior to the issue date of such class of Regular Interests. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Regular Interest is the sum of all payments provided by the debt instrument other than any qualified stated interest payments. Under the OID Regulations, qualified stated interest generally means interest payable at a single fixed rate or a qualified variable rate; provided that such interest payments are unconditionally payable at intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the obligation. Because there is no penalty or default remedy in the case of nonpayment of interest with respect to a Regular Interest, it is possible that no interest on any class of Regular Interests will be treated as qualified stated interest. However, because the Mortgage Loans provide for remedies in the event of default, the certificate administrator will treat all payments of stated interest on the Regular Interests (other than the Class X Certificates) as qualified stated interest (other than accrued interest distributed on the first Distribution Date for the number of days that exceed the interval between the Closing Date and the first Distribution Date). Based upon the anticipated issue price of each such class and a stated redemption price equal to the par amount of each such class, it is anticipated that the Class C certificates will be issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes. 

 

In addition, it is anticipated that the certificate administrator will treat the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates as having no qualified stated interest. Accordingly, such classes will be considered to be issued

 

 436

 

 

with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of all distributions of interest expected to be received on such classes over their respective issue prices (including interest accrued prior to the Closing Date). Any “negative” amounts of original issue discount on such classes attributable to rapid prepayments with respect to the Mortgage Loans will not be deductible currently. The holder of Class X-A or Class X-B certificates may be entitled to a deduction for a loss, which may be a capital loss, to the extent it becomes certain that such holder will not recover a portion of its basis in such class, assuming no further prepayments. In the alternative, it is possible that rules similar to the “noncontingent bond method” of the contingent interest rules of the OID Regulations may be promulgated with respect to such classes. Unless and until required otherwise by applicable authority, it is not anticipated that the contingent interest rules will apply.

 

Under a de minimis rule, original issue discount on a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such original issue discount is less than 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest is computed as the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator of which is the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that the schedule of such distributions should be determined in accordance with the assumed rate of prepayment on the Mortgage Loans used in pricing the transaction, i.e. the assumption that subsequent to the date of any determination the mortgage loans will prepay at a rate equal to a CPR of 0% (the “Prepayment Assumption”). See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” above. Holders generally must report de minimis original issue discount pro rata as principal payments are received, and such income will be capital gain if the Regular Interest is held as a capital asset. Under the OID Regulations, however, Regular Interestholders may elect to accrue all de minimis original issue discount, as well as market discount and premium, under the constant yield method. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below. 

 

A holder of a Regular Interest issued with original issue discount generally must include in gross income for any taxable year the sum of the “daily portions“, as defined below, of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest accrued during an accrual period for each day on which it holds the Regular Interest, including the date of purchase but excluding the date of disposition. With respect to each such Regular Interest, a calculation will be made of the original issue discount that accrues during each successive full accrual period that ends on the day prior to each Distribution Date with respect to the Regular Interests, assuming that prepayments and extensions with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be made in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption. The original issue discount accruing in a full accrual period will be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of (a) the present value of all of the remaining distributions to be made on the Regular Interest as of the end of that accrual period and (b) the distributions made on the Regular Interest during the accrual period that are included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity, over (ii) the adjusted issue price of the Regular Interest at the beginning of the accrual period. The present value of the remaining distributions referred to in the preceding sentence is calculated based on (i) the yield to maturity of the Regular Interest as of the Startup Day, (ii) events (including actual prepayments) that have occurred prior to the end of the accrual period and (iii) the assumption that the remaining payments will be made in accordance with the original Prepayment Assumption. For these purposes, the adjusted issue price of a Regular Interest at the beginning of any accrual period equals the issue price of the Regular Interest, increased by the aggregate amount of original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interest that accrued in all prior accrual periods and reduced by the amount of distributions included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity that were made on the Regular Interest that were attributable to such prior periods. The original issue discount accruing during any accrual period (as determined in this paragraph) will then be divided by the number of days in the period to determine the daily portion of original issue discount for each day in the period.

 

Under the method described above, the daily portions of original issue discount required to be included as ordinary income by a Regular Interestholder (other than a holder of a Class X-A or Class X-B certificate) generally will increase to take into account prepayments on the Regular Interests as a result of

 

 437

 

 

prepayments on the Mortgage Loans that exceed the Prepayment Assumption, and generally will decrease (but not below zero for any period) if the prepayments are slower than the Prepayment Assumption. Due to the unique nature of interest-only certificates, the preceding sentence may not apply in the case of the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates.

 

Acquisition Premium

 

A purchaser of a Regular Interest at a price greater than its adjusted issue price and less than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity will be required to include in gross income the daily portions of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest reduced pro rata by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of its purchase price over such adjusted issue price and the denominator of which is the excess of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity over the adjusted issue price. Alternatively, such a purchaser may elect to treat all such acquisition premium under the constant yield method, as described under the heading “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below.

 

Market Discount

 

A purchaser of a Regular Interest also may be subject to the market discount rules of Code Sections 1276 through 1278. Under these Code sections and the principles applied by the OID Regulations in the context of original issue discount, “market discount” is the amount by which the purchaser’s original basis in the Regular Interest (i) is exceeded by the remaining outstanding principal payments and non-qualified stated interest payments due on the Regular Interest, or (ii) in the case of a Regular Interest having original issue discount, is exceeded by the adjusted issue price of such Regular Interest at the time of purchase. Such purchaser generally will be required to recognize ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount on such Regular Interest as distributions includible in its stated redemption price at maturity are received, in an amount not exceeding any such distribution. Such market discount would accrue in a manner to be provided in Treasury regulations and should take into account the Prepayment Assumption. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that until such regulations are issued, such market discount would accrue, at the election of the holder, either (i) on the basis of a constant interest rate or (ii) in the ratio of interest accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the interest accrued for such period plus the remaining interest after the end of such period, or, in the case of classes issued with original issue discount, in the ratio of original issue discount accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the original issue discount accrued for such period plus the remaining original issue discount after the end of such period. Such purchaser also generally will be required to treat a portion of any gain on a sale or exchange of the Regular Interest as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued to the date of disposition under one of the foregoing methods, less any accrued market discount previously reported as ordinary income as partial distributions in reduction of the stated redemption price at maturity were received. Such purchaser will be required to defer deduction of a portion of the excess of the interest paid or accrued on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the Regular Interest over the interest (including original issue discount) distributable on the Regular Interest. The deferred portion of such interest expense in any taxable year generally will not exceed the accrued market discount on the Regular Interest for such year. Any such deferred interest expense is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later than the year in which the related market discount income is recognized or the Regular Interest is disposed of. As an alternative to the inclusion of market discount in income on the foregoing basis, the Regular Interestholder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues on all market discount instruments acquired by such Regular Interestholder in that taxable year or thereafter, in which case the interest deferral rule will not apply. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 171 and an alternative manner in which such election may be deemed to be made.

 

Market discount with respect to a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such market discount is less than 0.25% of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity of such Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest remaining after the date of purchase. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity is determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each such distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator

  

 438

 

 

of which is the total stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest. It appears that de minimis market discount would be reported pro rata as principal payments are received. Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet been proposed, and investors should therefore consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules as well as the advisability of making any of the elections with respect to such rules. Investors should also consult Revenue Procedure 92-67 concerning the elections to include market discount in income currently and to accrue market discount on the basis of the constant yield method.

  

Premium

 

A Regular Interest purchased upon initial issuance or in the secondary market at a cost greater than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity generally is considered to be purchased at a premium. If the Regular Interestholder holds such Regular Interest as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Code Section 1221, the Regular Interestholder may elect under Code Section 171 to amortize such premium under the constant yield method. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 171 and an alternative manner in which the Code Section 171 election may be deemed to be made. Final Treasury regulations under Code Section 171 do not, by their terms, apply to prepayable obligations such as the Regular Interests. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act indicates a Congressional intent that the same rules that will apply to the accrual of market discount on installment obligations will also apply to amortizing bond premium under Code Section 171 on installment obligations such as the Regular Interests, although it is unclear whether the alternatives to the constant interest method described above under “—Market Discount” are available. Amortizable bond premium will be treated as an offset to interest income on a Regular Interest rather than as a separate deduction item. It is anticipated that the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S and Class B certificates will be issued at a premium for federal income tax purposes.

 

Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method

 

A holder of a debt instrument such as a Regular Interest may elect to treat all interest that accrues on the instrument using the constant yield method, with none of the interest being treated as qualified stated interest. For purposes of applying the constant yield method to a debt instrument subject to such an election, (i) “interest” includes stated interest, original issue discount, de minimis original issue discount, market discount and de minimis market discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium and (ii) the debt instrument is treated as if the instrument were issued on the holder’s acquisition date in the amount of the holder’s adjusted basis immediately after acquisition. It is unclear whether, for this purpose, the initial Prepayment Assumption would continue to apply or if a new prepayment assumption as of the date of the holder’s acquisition would apply. A holder generally may make such an election on an instrument by instrument basis or for a class or group of debt instruments. However, if the holder makes such an election with respect to a debt instrument with amortizable bond premium or with market discount, the holder is deemed to have made elections to amortize bond premium or to report market discount income currently as it accrues under the constant yield method, respectively, for all premium bonds held or acquired or market discount bonds acquired by the holder on the first day of the year of the election or thereafter. The election is made on the holder’s federal income tax return for the year in which the debt instrument is acquired and is irrevocable except with the approval of the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the advisability of making such an election.

 

Treatment of Losses

 

Holders of the Regular Interests will be required to report income with respect to the Regular Interests on the accrual method of accounting, without giving effect to delays or reductions in distributions attributable to defaults or delinquencies on the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent it can be established that such losses are uncollectible. Accordingly, a Regular Interestholder may have income, or may incur a diminution in cash flow as a result of a default or delinquency, but may not be able to take a deduction (subject to the discussion below) for the corresponding loss until a subsequent taxable year. In this regard, investors are cautioned that while they generally may cease to accrue interest income if it reasonably appears that the interest will be uncollectible, the IRS may take the position that original issue discount must

  

 439

 

 

continue to be accrued in spite of its uncollectibility until the debt instrument is disposed of in a taxable transaction or becomes worthless in accordance with the rules of Code Section 166. The following discussion does not apply to holders of Class X Certificates. Under Code Section 166, it appears that the holders of Regular Interests that are corporations or that otherwise hold the Regular Interests in connection with a trade or business should in general be allowed to deduct as an ordinary loss any such loss sustained (and not previously deducted) during the taxable year on account of any such Regular Interests becoming wholly or partially worthless, and that, in general, the Regular Interestholders that are not corporations and do not hold the Regular Interests in connection with a trade or business will be allowed to deduct as a short term capital loss any loss with respect to principal sustained during the taxable year on account of such Regular Interests becoming wholly worthless. Although the matter is not free from doubt, such non-corporate holders of Regular Interests should be allowed a bad debt deduction at such time as the principal balance of any class of such Regular Interests is reduced to reflect losses on the Mortgage Loans below such holder’s basis in the Regular Interests. The IRS, however, could take the position that non-corporate holders will be allowed a bad debt deduction to reflect such losses only after the classes of Regular Interests have been otherwise retired. The IRS could also assert that losses on a class of Regular Interests are deductible based on some other method that may defer such deductions for all holders, such as reducing future cash flow for purposes of computing original issue discount. This may have the effect of creating “negative” original issue discount that, with the possible exception of the method discussed in the following sentence, would be deductible only against future positive original issue discount or otherwise upon termination of the applicable class. Although not free from doubt, a holder of Regular Interests with negative original issue discount may be entitled to deduct a loss to the extent that its remaining basis would exceed the maximum amount of future payments to which such holder was entitled, assuming no further prepayments. No bad debt losses will be allowed with respect to the Class X Certificates. Regular Interestholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate timing, amount and character of any loss sustained with respect to such Regular Interests. Special loss rules are applicable to banks and thrift institutions, including rules regarding reserves for bad debts. Such taxpayers are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the treatment of losses on the Regular Interests.

  

Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

 

Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums actually collected on the Mortgage Loans will be distributed to the Offered Certificates as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”. It is not entirely clear under the Code when the amount of Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums so allocated should be taxed to the holders of the Offered Certificates, but it is not expected, for federal income tax reporting purposes, that Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums will be treated as giving rise to any income to the holder of such class of certificates prior to the certificate administrator’s actual receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums. Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums, if any, may be treated as paid upon the retirement or partial retirement of the Offered Certificates. The IRS may disagree with these positions. Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of Yield Maintenance Charges and prepayment premiums.

 

Sale or Exchange of Regular Interests

 

If a Regular Interestholder sells or exchanges a Regular Interest, such Regular Interestholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and its adjusted basis in the Regular Interest. The adjusted basis of a Regular Interest generally will equal the cost of the Regular Interest to the seller, increased by any original issue discount or market discount previously included in the seller’s gross income with respect to the Regular Interest and reduced by amounts included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest that were previously received by the seller, by any amortized premium, and by any deductible losses on the Regular Interest.

 

Except as described above with respect to market discount, and except as provided in this paragraph, any gain or loss on the sale or exchange of a Regular Interest realized by an investor that holds the Regular Interest as a capital asset will be capital gain or loss and will be long term or short term depending on whether the Regular Interest has been held for the long term capital gain holding period (more than one year). Such gain will be treated as ordinary income: (i) if the Regular Interest is held as part of a “conversion

 

 440

 

  

transaction” as defined in Code Section 1258(c), up to the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Regular Interestholder’s net investment in the conversion transaction at 120% of the appropriate applicable federal rate under Code Section 1274(d) in effect at the time the taxpayer entered into the transaction minus any amount previously treated as ordinary income with respect to any prior disposition of property that was held as part of such transaction; (ii) in the case of a non-corporate taxpayer, to the extent such taxpayer has made an election under Code Section 163(d)(4) to have net capital gains taxed as investment income at ordinary income rates; or (iii) to the extent that such gain does not exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount that would have been includible in the gross income of the Regular Interestholder if his yield on such Regular Interest were 110% of the applicable federal rate as of the date of purchase, over (b) the amount of income actually includible in the gross income of such Regular Interestholder with respect to the Regular Interest. In addition, gain or loss recognized from the sale of a Regular Interest by certain banks or thrift institutions will be treated as ordinary income or loss pursuant to Code Section 582(c). Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate taxpayers generally are subject to a lower maximum tax rate than ordinary income of such taxpayers for property held for more than one year. The maximum tax rate for corporations is the same with respect to both ordinary income and capital gains.

 

Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC

 

Prohibited Transactions

 

Income from certain transactions by any Trust REMIC, called prohibited transactions, will not be part of the calculation of income or loss includible in the federal income tax returns of holders of the Class R certificates, but rather will be taxed directly to the Trust REMIC at a 100% rate. Prohibited transactions generally include (i) the disposition of a qualified mortgage other than for (a) substitution within two years of the Startup Day for a defective (including a defaulted) obligation (or repurchase in lieu of substitution of a defective (including a defaulted) obligation at any time) or for any qualified mortgage within three (3) months of the Startup Day, (b) foreclosure, default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage, (c) bankruptcy or insolvency of the REMIC, or (d) a qualified (complete) liquidation, (ii) the receipt of income from assets that are not the type of mortgages or investments that the REMIC is permitted to hold, (iii) the receipt of compensation for services or (iv) the receipt of gain from disposition of cash flow investments other than pursuant to a qualified liquidation. Notwithstanding (i) and (iv), it is not a prohibited transaction to sell REMIC property to prevent a default on regular interests as a result of a default on qualified mortgages or to facilitate a qualified liquidation or a clean-up call. The REMIC Regulations indicate that the modification of a mortgage loan generally will not be treated as a disposition if it is occasioned by a default or reasonably foreseeable default, an assumption of a mortgage loan or the waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. It is not anticipated that the Trust REMICs will engage in any prohibited transactions.

 

Contributions to a REMIC After the Startup Day

 

In general, a REMIC will be subject to a tax at a 100% rate on the value of any property contributed to the REMIC after the Startup Day. Exceptions are provided for cash contributions to the REMIC (i) during the three (3) months following the Startup Day, (ii) made to a qualified reserve fund by a holder of a Class R certificate, (iii) in the nature of a guarantee, (iv) made to facilitate a qualified liquidation or clean-up call, and (v) as otherwise permitted in Treasury regulations yet to be issued. It is not anticipated that there will be any taxable contributions to the Trust REMICs.

 

Net Income from Foreclosure Property

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC will be subject to federal income tax at the highest corporate rate on “net income from foreclosure property”, determined by reference to the rules applicable to real estate investment trusts. Generally, property acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure would be treated as “foreclosure property” until the close of the third calendar year beginning after the Lower-Tier REMIC’s acquisition of a REO Property, with a possible extension. Net income from foreclosure property generally means gain from the sale of a foreclosure property that is inventory property and gross income from foreclosure property other than qualifying rents and other qualifying income for a real estate investment trust.

 

 441

 

 

In order for a foreclosed property to qualify as foreclosure property, any operation of the foreclosed property by the Lower-Tier REMIC generally must be conducted through an independent contractor. Further, such operation, even if conducted through an independent contractor, may give rise to “net income from foreclosure property”, taxable at the highest corporate rate. Payment of such tax by the Lower-Tier REMIC would reduce amounts available for distribution to Certificateholders.

 

The special servicer will be required to determine generally whether the operation of foreclosed property in a manner that would subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax would be expected to result in higher after-tax proceeds than an alternative method of operating such property that would not subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax.

 

Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015

 

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “2015 Budget Act”), which was enacted on November 2, 2015, includes new audit rules affecting entities treated as partnerships, their partners and the persons that are authorized to represent entities treated as partnerships in IRS audits and related procedures. Under the 2015 Budget Act, these rules will also apply to REMICs, the holders of their residual interests and the trustees authorized to represent REMICs in IRS audits and related procedures (“tax matters persons” or “TMPs”). These new audit rules are scheduled to become effective for taxable years beginning with 2018 and will apply to both new and existing REMICs.

 

In addition to other changes, under the 2015 Budget Act, (1) unless a REMIC elects otherwise, taxes arising from IRS audit adjustments are required to be paid by the REMIC rather than by its residual interest holders, (2) a REMIC appoints one person to act as its sole representative in connection with IRS audits and related procedures and that representative’s actions, including agreeing to adjustments to REMIC taxable income, will be binding on residual interest holders more so than a tax matters person’s actions under the current rules and (3) if the IRS makes an adjustment to a REMIC’s taxable year, the holders of residual interests for the audited taxable year may have to take the adjustment into account for the taxable year in which the adjustment is made rather than for the audited taxable year.

 

The certificate administrator will have the authority to utilize, and will be directed to utilize, any exceptions available under the new provisions and Treasury regulations (including any changes thereto) so that holders of the Class R certificates, to the fullest extent possible, rather than either Trust REMIC itself, will be liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to either Trust REMIC’s taxable income. It is unclear how any such exceptions may affect the procedural rules available to challenge any audit adjustment that would otherwise be available in the absence of any such exceptions. Investors should discuss with their own tax advisors the possible effect of the new rules on them.

 

Taxation of Certain Foreign Investors

 

Interest, including original issue discount, distributable to the holders of Regular Interests that are nonresident aliens, foreign corporations or other Non-U.S. Persons will be considered “portfolio interest” and, therefore, generally will not be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax; provided that such Non-U.S. Person (i) is not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to the Trust REMICs and (ii) provides the certificate administrator, or the person that would otherwise be required to withhold tax from such distributions under Code Section 1441 or 1442, with an appropriate statement, signed under penalties of perjury, identifying the beneficial owner and stating, among other things, that the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest is a Non-U.S. Person. The appropriate documentation includes IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, if the Non-U.S. Person is an entity (such as a corporation) or individual, respectively, eligible for the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption or an exemption based on a treaty; IRS Form W-8ECI if the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for an exemption on the basis of its income from the Regular Interest being effectively connected to a United States trade or business; IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY if the Non-U.S. Person is a trust, depending on whether such trust is classified as the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest; and Form W-8IMY, with supporting documentation as specified in the Treasury regulations, required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its partners, if the Non-U.S. Person is a partnership. With respect to IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY and W-8ECI, each (other than IRS

 

 442

 

 

Form W-8IMY) expires after three (3) full calendar years or as otherwise provided by applicable law. An intermediary (other than a partnership) must provide IRS Form W-8IMY, revealing all required information, including its name, address, taxpayer identification number, the country under the laws of which it is created, and certification that it is not acting for its own account. A “qualified intermediary” must certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement as required under Treasury regulations Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(v), but need not disclose the identity of its account holders on its IRS Form W-8IMY, and may certify its account holders’ status without including each beneficial owner’s certification. A “non-qualified intermediary” must additionally certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement that is associated with the appropriate IRS Forms W-8 and W-9 required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its beneficial owners. The term “intermediary” means a person acting as a custodian, a broker, nominee or otherwise as an agent for the beneficial owner of a Regular Interest. A “qualified intermediary” is generally a foreign financial institution or clearing organization or a non-U.S. branch or office of a U.S. financial institution or clearing organization that is a party to a withholding agreement with the IRS.

 

If such statement, or any other required statement, is not provided, 30% withholding will apply unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or unless the interest on the Regular Interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such Non-U.S. Person. In the latter case, such Non-U.S. Person will be subject to United States federal income tax at regular rates. Investors that are Non-U.S. Persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of owning a Regular Interest.

 

The term “U.S. Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of income, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Persons). The term “Non-U.S. Person” means a person other than a U.S. Person.

 

FATCA

 

Under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, a 30% withholding tax is generally imposed on certain payments, including U.S.-source interest and, beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds from the disposition of debt obligations that give rise to U.S.-source interest to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other foreign financial entities if those foreign entities fail to comply with the requirements of FATCA. The certificate administrator will be required to withhold amounts under FATCA on payments made to holders who are subject to the FATCA requirements and who fail to provide the certificate administrator with proof that they have complied with such requirements. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of FATCA to their certificates.

 

Backup Withholding

 

Distributions made on the certificates, and proceeds from the sale of the certificates to or through certain brokers, may be subject to a “backup” withholding tax under Code Section 3406 at the rate of 28% on “reportable payments” (including interest distributions, original issue discount and, under certain circumstances, principal distributions) unless the Certificateholder is a U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-9 with the correct taxpayer identification number; in the case of the Regular Interests, is a Non-U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, identifying the Non-U.S. Person and stating that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. Person; or can be treated as an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii). Any amounts to be withheld from distribution on

the certificates would be refunded by the IRS or allowed as a credit against the Certificateholder’s federal income tax liability. Information reporting requirements may also apply regardless of whether withholding is

 

 443

 

  

required. Holders are urged to contact their own tax advisors regarding the application to them of backup withholding and information reporting.

 

Information Reporting

 

Holders who are individuals (and certain domestic entities that are formed or availed of for purposes of holding, directly or indirectly, “specified foreign financial assets”) may be subject to certain foreign financial asset reporting obligations with respect to their certificates held through a financial account maintained by a foreign financial institution if the aggregate value of their certificates and their other “specified foreign financial assets” exceeds $50,000. Significant penalties can apply if a holder fails to disclose its specified foreign financial assets. We urge you to consult your tax advisor with respect to this and other reporting obligations with respect to your certificates.

 

3.8% Medicare Tax on “Net Investment Income”

 

Certain non-corporate U.S. holders will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income”, which may include the interest payments and any gain realized with respect to the certificates, to the extent of their net investment income that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), or $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to their consequences with respect to the 3.8% Medicare tax.

 

Reporting Requirements

 

Each Trust REMIC will be required to maintain its books on a calendar year basis and to file federal income tax returns in a manner similar to a partnership. The form for such returns is IRS Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return. The trustee will be required to sign each Trust REMIC’s returns.

 

Reports of accrued interest, original issue discount, if any, and information necessary to compute the accrual of any market discount on the Regular Interests will be made annually to the IRS and to individuals, estates, non-exempt and non-charitable trusts, and partnerships that are either Regular Interestholders or beneficial owners that own Regular Interests through a broker or middleman as nominee. All brokers, nominees and all other nonexempt Regular Interestholders (including corporations, non-calendar year taxpayers, securities or commodities dealers, placement agents, real estate investment trusts, investment companies, common trusts, thrift institutions and charitable trusts) may request such information for any calendar quarter by telephone or in writing by contacting the person designated in IRS Publication 938 with respect to the Trust REMIC. Holders through nominees must request such information from the nominee.

 

Treasury regulations require that, in addition to the foregoing requirements, information must be furnished annually to the Regular Interestholders and filed annually with the IRS concerning the percentage of each Trust REMIC’s assets meeting the qualified asset tests described under
—Qualification as a REMIC” above.

 

DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE RULES AND THE CURRENT UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE MANNER OF THEIR APPLICATION TO THE ISSUING ENTITY AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS, IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT POTENTIAL INVESTORS CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF THEIR ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE CERTIFICATES.

 

Certain State and Local Tax Considerations

 

In addition to the federal income tax consequences described in “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations” above, purchasers of Offered Certificates should consider the state and local income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Offered Certificates. State and local

 

 444

 

  

income tax law may differ substantially from the corresponding federal law, and this discussion does not purport to describe any aspect of the income tax laws of any state or locality.

 

It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may attempt to tax nonresident holders of offered certificates solely by reason of the location in that jurisdiction of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the sponsors, a related borrower or a mortgaged property or on some other basis, may require nonresident holders of certificates to file returns in such jurisdiction or may attempt to impose penalties for failure to file such returns; and it is possible that any such jurisdiction will ultimately succeed in collecting such taxes or penalties from nonresident holders of offered certificates. We cannot assure you that holders of offered certificates will not be subject to tax in any particular state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.

 

You should consult with your tax advisor with respect to the various state and local, and any other, tax consequences of an investment in the Offered Certificates.

 

Method of Distribution (Underwriter)

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the depositor and the underwriters, the depositor has agreed to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters have severally, but not jointly, agreed to purchase from the depositor the respective Certificate Balance or the Notional Amount, as applicable, of each class of Offered Certificates set forth below subject in each case to a variance of 5%.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters will be subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all Offered Certificates if any are purchased. In the event of a default by any underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that, in certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriter(s) may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.

 

The parties to the PSA have severally agreed to indemnify the underwriters, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the depositor and controlling persons of the depositor, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and will contribute to payments required to be made in respect of these liabilities.

 

The depositor has been advised by the underwriters that they propose to offer the Offered Certificates to the public from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale. Proceeds to the depositor from the sale of Offered Certificates will be approximately 109.8% of the initial aggregate Certificate Balance of the Offered Certificates, plus accrued interest on the Offered Certificates from July 1, 2017, before deducting expenses payable by the depositor. The underwriters may effect the transactions by selling the Offered Certificates to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates, the underwriters and dealers may be deemed to have received compensation from the depositor in the form of underwriting discounts and commissions.  

 

 445

 

 

Expenses payable by the depositor are estimated at $5,141,063.46, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

We anticipate that the Offered Certificates will be sold primarily to institutional investors. Purchasers of Offered Certificates, including dealers, may, depending on the facts and circumstances of those purchases, be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with reoffers and resales by them of Offered Certificates. If you purchase Offered Certificates, you should consult with your legal advisors in this regard prior to any reoffer or resale. The underwriters expect to make, but are not obligated to make, a secondary market in the Offered Certificates. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline”.

 

The primary source of ongoing information available to investors concerning the Offered Certificates will be the monthly statements discussed under “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional information regarding the Offered Certificates will be available through any other source. In addition, we are not aware of any source through which price information about the Offered Certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis. The limited nature of that information regarding the Offered Certificates may adversely affect the liquidity of the Offered Certificates, even if a secondary market for the Offered Certificates becomes available.

 

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of the depositor and an affiliate of one of the sponsors.

 

A substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering (after the payment of underwriting compensation and transaction expenses) is intended to be directed to affiliates of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which is an underwriter for this offering. That flow of funds will occur by means of the collective effect of the payment by the underwriters to the depositor, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, of the purchase price for the Offered Certificates, and the payment by the depositor to JPMCB, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in its capacity as a sponsor, of the purchase price for the mortgage loans to be sold to the depositor by JPMCB. Additionally, proceeds received by SMF VI in connection with the contribution of certain of the Starwood Mortgage Loans to this securitization transaction will be applied, among other things, to directly or indirectly reacquire any such mortgage loans that are financed with, and to make the applicable payments to, JPMCB, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the related repurchase agreement counterparty. Additionally, proceeds received by BSP in connection with the contribution of certain of the BSP Mortgage Loans to this securitization transaction will be applied, among other things, to directly or indirectly reacquire any such mortgage loans that are financed with, and to make the applicable payments to, JPMCB, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as the related repurchase agreement counterparty. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”.

 

As a result of the circumstances described above in this paragraph and the prior paragraph, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC has a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the consolidated rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. In addition, other circumstances exist that result in the underwriters or their affiliates having conflicts of interest, notwithstanding that such circumstances may not constitute a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of such Rule 5121. See “Risk Factors—Potential Conflicts of Interest—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests”.

Financial Information

 

The issuing entity will be newly formed and will not have engage in any business activities or have any assets or obligations prior to the issuance of the Offered Certificates. Accordingly, no financial statements with respect to the issuing entity are included in this prospectus.

 

The depositor has determined that its financial statements will not be material to the offering of the Offered Certificates.

 

Certain ERISA Considerations

 

General

 

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and Code Section 4975 impose certain requirements on retirement plans, and on certain other employee benefit plans and

 

 447

 

 

arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans, collective investment funds, insurance company separate accounts and some insurance company general accounts in which those plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (all of which are referred to as “Plans”), and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to Plans, in connection with the investment of Plan assets. Certain employee benefit plans, such as governmental plans (as defined in ERISA Section 3(32)), and, if no election has been made under Code Section 410(d), church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements. However, those plans may be subject to the provisions of other applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code. Moreover, those plans, if qualified and exempt from taxation under Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a), are subject to the prohibited transaction rules set forth in Code Section 503.

 

ERISA generally imposes on Plan fiduciaries certain general fiduciary requirements, including those of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that a Plan’s investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the Plan. In addition, ERISA and the Code prohibit a broad range of transactions involving assets of a Plan and persons (“Parties in Interest”) who have certain specified relationships to the Plan, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. Certain Parties in Interest that participate in a prohibited transaction may be subject to an excise tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 4975, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. These prohibited transactions generally are set forth in Section 406 of ERISA and Code Section 4975. Special caution should be exercised before the assets of a Plan are used to purchase an Offered Certificate if, with respect to those assets, the depositor, any servicer or the trustee or any of their affiliates, either: (a) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of those assets of that Plan; or (b) has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives, investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that the advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to those assets and that the advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (c) is an employer maintaining or contributing to the Plan.

 

Before purchasing any Offered Certificates with Plan assets, a Plan fiduciary should consult with its counsel and determine whether there exists any prohibition to that purchase under the requirements of ERISA or Code Section 4975, whether any prohibited transaction class exemption or any individual administrative prohibited transaction exemption (as described below) applies, including whether the appropriate conditions set forth in those exemptions would be met, or whether any statutory prohibited transaction exemption is applicable. Fiduciaries of plans subject to a Similar Law should consider the need for, and the availability of, an exemption under such applicable Similar Law.

 

Plan Asset Regulations

 

A Plan’s investment in Offered Certificates may cause the assets of the issuing entity to be deemed Plan assets. Section 2510.3-101 of the regulations of the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”), as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, provides that when a Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity, the Plan’s assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless certain exceptions not applicable to this discussion apply, or unless the equity participation in the entity by “benefit plan investors” (that is, Plans and entities whose underlying assets include plan assets) is not “significant”. For this purpose, in general, equity participation in an entity will be “significant” on any date if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any certificate, 25% or more of any class of certificates is held by benefit plan investors.

 

In general, any person who has discretionary authority or control respecting the management or disposition of Plan assets, and any person who provides investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee, is a fiduciary of the investing Plan. If the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, then any party exercising management or discretionary control regarding those assets, such as a master servicer, a special servicer or any sub-servicer, may be deemed to be a Plan “fiduciary” with respect to the investing Plan, and thus subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Code Section 4975. In addition, if the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, the purchase of Offered Certificates by a Plan, as well as the operation of the issuing entity, may constitute or involve a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

Administrative Exemptions

 

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC an individual prohibited transaction exemption, PTE 2002-19, 67 Fed. Reg. 14,979 (March 28, 2002), as amended by PTE 2013-08, 78 Fed. Reg. 41,090 (July 9, 2013) (the “Exemption”). The Exemption generally exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, and the excise taxes imposed on prohibited transactions pursuant to Code Sections 4975(a) and (b), certain transactions, among others, relating to the servicing and operation of pools of mortgage loans, such as the pool of mortgage loans held by the issuing entity, and the purchase, sale and holding of mortgage pass-through certificates, such as the Offered Certificates, underwritten by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Exemption are satisfied. The depositor expects that the Exemption generally will apply to the Offered Certificates.

 

The Exemption sets forth five general conditions that must be satisfied for a transaction involving the purchase, sale and holding of the Offered Certificates to be eligible for exemptive relief. First, the acquisition of the Offered Certificates by a Plan must be on terms (including the price paid for the Offered Certificates) that are at least as favorable to the Plan as they would be in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. Second, the Offered Certificates at the time of acquisition by the Plan must be rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by at least one NRSRO that meets the requirements of the Exemption (an “Exemption Rating Agency”). Third, the trustee cannot be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted Group other than an underwriter. The “Restricted Group” consists of any underwriter, the depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, any sub-servicer, any entity that provides insurance or other credit support to the issuing entity and any borrower with respect to mortgage loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates, and any affiliate of any of the foregoing entities. Fourth, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the underwriters must represent not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the Offered Certificates, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the depositor pursuant to the assignment of the mortgage loans to the issuing entity must represent not more than the fair market value of the mortgage loans and the sum of all payments made to and retained by the master servicer, the special servicer and any sub-servicer must represent not more than reasonable compensation for that person’s services under the PSA and reimbursement of the person’s reasonable expenses in connection therewith. Fifth, the investing Plan must be an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

It is a condition of the issuance of the Offered Certificates that they have the ratings described above required by the Exemption and the depositor believes that each of the Rating Agencies qualifies as an Exemption Rating Agency. Consequently, the second general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the third general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. In addition, the depositor believes that the fourth general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate in the secondary market must make its own determination that, at the time of purchase, the Offered Certificates continue to satisfy the second general condition set forth above. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate, whether in the initial issuance of the Offered Certificates or in the secondary market, must make its own determination that the first and fifth general conditions set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the related Offered Certificate.

 

The Exemption also requires that the issuing entity meet the following requirements: (1) the issuing entity must consist solely of assets of the type that have been included in other investment pools; (2) certificates in those other investment pools must have been rated in one of the four highest categories by at least one of the Exemption Rating Agencies for at least one year prior to the Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates; and (3) certificates in those other investment pools must have been purchased by investors other than Plans for at least one year prior to any Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates.

 

The depositor believes that the conditions to the applicability of the Exemption will generally be met with respect to the Offered Certificates, other than those conditions which are dependent on facts unknown to

 

 449

 

 

the depositor or which it cannot control, such as those relating to the circumstances of the Plan purchaser or the Plan fiduciary making the decision to purchase any such Offered Certificates.

 

If the general conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a) and 407(a) of ERISA (as well as the excise taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Sections 4975(c)(1)(A) through (D)) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the depositor, any of the underwriters, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, a sub-servicer or a borrower is a party in interest with respect to the investing Plan, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of the Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan. However, no exemption is provided from the restrictions of Sections 406(a)(1)(E), 406(a)(2) and 407 of ERISA for the acquisition or holding of an Offered Certificate on behalf of an “Excluded Plan” by any person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of the Excluded Plan. For purposes of this prospectus, an “Excluded Plan” is a Plan sponsored by any member of the Restricted Group.

 

If certain specific conditions of the Exemption are also satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(b)(1) and (b)(2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by Code Section 4975(c)(1)(E) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the investment of Plan assets in those certificates is (a) a borrower with respect to 5% or less of the fair market value of the mortgage loans or (b) an affiliate of that person, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan.

 

Further, if certain specific conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA, and the taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Section 4975(c) for transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the pool of mortgage loans.

 

A fiduciary of a Plan should consult with its counsel with respect to the applicability of the Exemption. The fiduciary of a plan not subject to ERISA or Code Section 4975, such as a governmental plan, should determine the need for and availability of exemptive relief under applicable Similar Law. A purchaser of an Offered Certificate should be aware, however, that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are satisfied, the scope of relief provided by an exemption may not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions.

 

In addition, each beneficial owner of an Offered Certificate or any interest therein that is a Plan, including any fiduciary purchasing Offered Certificates on behalf of a Plan (“Plan Fiduciary”), will be deemed to have represented by its acquisition of such Offered Certificates that:

 

(1)       none of the depositor, any of the underwriters, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, or any of their respective affiliated entities (the “Transaction Parties”), has provided or will provide advice with respect to the acquisition of Offered Certificates by the Plan, other than to the Plan Fiduciary which is independent of the Transaction Parties, and the Plan Fiduciary either: (a) is a bank as defined in Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a State or Federal agency; (b) is an insurance carrier which is qualified under the laws of more than one state to perform the services of managing, acquiring or disposing of assets of a Plan; (c) is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered an as investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph (1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business; (d) is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (e) has, and at all times that the Plan is invested in the Offered Certificates will have, total assets of at least U.S. $50,000,000 under its management or control (provided that this clause (e) shall not be satisfied if the

 

 450

 

 

Plan Fiduciary is either (i) the owner or a relative of the owner of an investing individual retirement account or (ii) a participant or beneficiary of the Plan investing in the Offered Certificates in such capacity);

 

(2)       the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Plan of Offered Certificates;

 

(3)       the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates;

 

(4)       none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Plan to invest in the Offered Certificates or to negotiate the terms of the Plan’s investment in the Offered Certificates or received a fee or other compensation from a Plan or Plan Fiduciary for the provision of investment advice in connection with the acquisition by the Plan of the Offered Certificates; and

 

(5)       the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (a) that none of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, and that no such entity has given investment advice or otherwise made a recommendation, in connection with the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates; and (b) of the existence and nature of the Transaction Parties financial interests in the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates as described in this prospectus.

 

The above representations are intended to comply with the DOL’s Reg. Sections 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-21(a) and (c)(1) as promulgated on April 8, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 20,997). If these regulations are revoked, repealed or no longer effective, these representations shall be deemed to be no longer in effect.

 

None of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition of any Offered Certificates by any Plan.

 

Insurance Company General Accounts

 

Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 exempt from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA and Code Section 4975 transactions in connection with the acquisition of a security (such as a certificate issued by the issuing entity) as well as the servicing, management and operation of a trust (such as the issuing entity) in which an insurance company general account has an interest as a result of its acquisition of certificates issued by the issuing entity, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. If these conditions are met, insurance company general accounts investing assets that are treated as assets of Plans would be allowed to purchase certain classes of certificates which do not meet the ratings requirements of the Exemption. All other conditions of the Exemption would have to be satisfied in order for PTCE 95-60 to be available. Before purchasing any class of Offered Certificates, an insurance company general account seeking to rely on Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 should itself confirm that all applicable conditions and other requirements have been satisfied.

 

Section 401(c) of ERISA provides certain exemptive relief from the provisions of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and Code Section 4975, including the prohibited transaction restrictions imposed by ERISA and the related excise taxes imposed by the Code, for transactions involving an insurance company general account. Pursuant to Section 401(c) of ERISA, the DOL issued regulations (“401(c) Regulations”), generally effective July 5, 2001, to provide guidance for the purpose of determining, in cases where insurance policies supported by an insurance company’s general account are issued to or for the benefit of a Plan on or before December 31, 1998, which general account assets constitute Plan assets. Any assets of an insurance company general account which support insurance policies issued to a Plan after December 31, 1998 or issued to Plans on or before December 31, 1998 for which the insurance company does not comply with the 401(c) Regulations may be treated as Plan assets. In addition, because Section 401(c) of ERISA does not relate to insurance company separate accounts, separate account assets are still generally

 

 451

 

 

treated as Plan assets of any Plan invested in that separate account. Insurance companies contemplating the investment of general account assets in the Offered Certificates should consult with their counsel with respect to the applicability of Section 401(c) of ERISA.

 

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that potential investors who are Plan fiduciaries or who are investing Plan assets consult with their counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code of their acquisition and ownership of certificates.

 

THE SALE OF OFFERED CERTIFICATES TO A PLAN IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF THE UNDERWRITERS THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS ANY RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN, OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN.

 

Legal Investment

 

None of the classes of Offered Certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended (“SMMEA”). Generally, the only classes of Offered Certificates which will qualify as “mortgage related securities” will be those that (1) are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization, as defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act (“NRSRO”); and (2) are part of a series evidencing interests in a trust consisting of loans originated by certain types of originators specified in SMMEA and secured by first liens on real estate.

 

Although Section 939(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act amended SMMEA, effective July 21, 2012, so as to require the SEC to establish creditworthiness standards by that date in substitution for the foregoing ratings test, the SEC has neither proposed nor adopted a rule establishing new creditworthiness standards for purposes of SMMEA as of the date of this prospectus. However, the SEC has issued a transitional interpretation (Release No. 34-67448 (effective July 20, 2012)), which provides that, until such time as final rules establishing new standards of creditworthiness become effective, the standard of creditworthiness for purposes of the definition of the term “mortgage related security” is a security that is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO. Depending on the standards of creditworthiness that are ultimately established by the SEC, it is possible that certain classes of Offered Certificates specified to be “mortgage related securities” for purposes of SMMEA may no longer qualify as such as of the time such new standards are effective.

 

The appropriate characterization of the Offered Certificates under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors subject to those restrictions to purchase the Offered Certificates, are subject to significant interpretive uncertainties. We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the Offered Certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase any Offered Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions. Further, any ratings downgrade of a class of Offered Certificates by an NRSRO to less than an “investment grade” rating (i.e., lower than the top four rating categories) may adversely affect the ability of an investor to purchase or retain, or otherwise impact the regulatory characteristics of, that class. The uncertainties described above (and any unfavorable future determinations concerning the legal investment or financial institution regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates) may adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Offered Certificates.

 

Accordingly, if your investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, you should consult with your own legal advisors in determining whether and to what extent the Offered Certificates constitute legal investments or are subject to investment, capital, or other regulatory restrictions.

 

The issuing entity will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under

 

 452

 

 

the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

Legal Matters

 

The validity of the Offered Certificates and certain federal income tax matters will be passed upon for the Depositor by Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York.

 

Ratings

 

It is a condition to their issuance that the Offered Certificates receive investment grade credit ratings from each of the three Rating Agencies engaged by the Depositor to rate the Offered Certificates.

 

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to any class of Offered Certificates. Changes affecting the Mortgaged Properties, the parties to the PSA or another person may have an adverse effect on the ratings of the Offered Certificates, and thus on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates, although such adverse changes would not necessarily be an event of default under the applicable Mortgage Loan.

 

The ratings address the likelihood of full and timely receipt by the Certificateholders of all distributions of interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Offered Certificates to which they are entitled on each distribution date and the ultimate payment in full of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each class of Offered Certificates on a date that it not later than the Rated Final Distribution Date with respect to such class of certificates. The Rated Final Distribution Date will be the distribution date in September 2050. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”. Any ratings of each Offered Certificates should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities.

 

The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, a measure of asset value or an indication of the suitability of an investment, and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by any Rating Agency. In addition, these ratings do not address: (a) the likelihood, timing, or frequency of prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) and their impact on interest payments or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated, (b) the possibility that a Certificateholder might suffer a lower than anticipated yield, (c) the likelihood of receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges, prepayment charges, prepayment premiums, prepayment fees or penalties or default interest, (d) the likelihood of experiencing any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, an assessment of whether or to what extent the interest payable on any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, or of receiving Compensating Interest Payments, (e) the tax treatment of the Offered Certificates or effect of taxes on the payments received, (f) the likelihood or willingness of the parties to the respective documents to meet their contractual obligations or the likelihood or willingness of any party or court to enforce, or hold enforceable, the documents in whole or in part, (g) an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience, (h) the likelihood, timing or receipt of any payments of interest to the holders of the Offered Certificates resulting from an increase in the interest rate on any Mortgage Loan in connection with a Mortgage Loan modification, waiver or amendment, or (i) other non-credit risks, including, without limitation, market risks or liquidity.

 

The ratings take into consideration the credit quality of the underlying Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans, structural and legal aspects associated with the Offered Certificates, and the extent to which the payment stream of the Mortgage Loans is adequate to make payments required under the Offered Certificates. However, as noted above, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the likelihood, timing or frequency of principal prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) by the borrowers, or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated. In general, the

 

 453

 

 

ratings address credit risk and not prepayment risk. Ratings are forward-looking opinions about credit risk and express an agency’s opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer of securities to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Ratings are not indications of investment merit. In addition, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience or the possibility that investors might not fully recover their initial investment in the event of delinquencies or defaults or rapid prepayments on the Mortgage Loans (including both voluntary and involuntary prepayments) or the application of any realized losses. In the event that holders of such certificates do not fully recover their investment as a result of rapid principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the ratings assigned to such certificates. As indicated in this prospectus, holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts are entitled only to payments of interest on the related Mortgage Loans. If the Mortgage Loans were to prepay in the initial month, with the result that the holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts receive only a single month’s interest and therefore, suffer a nearly complete loss of their investment, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the rating received on those certificates. The Notional Amounts of the certificates with Notional Amounts on which interest is calculated may be reduced by the allocation of realized losses and prepayments, whether voluntary or involuntary. The ratings do not address the timing or magnitude of reductions of such Notional Amount, but only the obligation to pay interest timely on the Notional Amount, as so reduced from time to time. Therefore, the ratings of the certificates with Notional Amounts should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors” and “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

 

Although the depositor will prepay fees for ongoing rating surveillance by certain of the Rating Agencies, the depositor has no obligation or ability to ensure that any Rating Agency performs ratings surveillance. In addition, a Rating Agency may cease ratings surveillance if the information furnished to that Rating Agency is insufficient to allow it to perform surveillance.

Any of the three NRSROs that we hired may issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of certificates that we did not hire it to rate. Additionally, other NRSROs that we have not engaged to rate the certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of certificates relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from those ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies. The issuance of unsolicited ratings of a class of the certificates that are lower than the ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class. As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six NRSROs. Based on preliminary feedback from those six NRSROs at that time, the depositor hired the Rating Agencies to rate the certificates and not the other three NRSROs due, in part, to those NRSROs’ initial subordination levels for the various classes of certificates. Had the depositor selected such other NRSROs to rate the certificates, we cannot assure you as to the ratings that such other NRSROs would ultimately have assigned to the certificates. In the case of one NRSRO hired by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of rated certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by that NRSRO for the classes of certificates. If the depositor had selected that NRSRO to rate those other classes of certificates not rated by it, its ratings of those other certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other two NRSROs hired by the depositor. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any NRSRO, an NRSRO might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor.

  With respect to Loan No. 7, West Town Mall, the whole loan was co-originated by JPMCB and Column Financial, Inc.
   
(2) Certain of the mortgage loans include parcels ground leased to tenants in the calculation of the total square footage and the occupancy of the mortgaged property.
   
  With respect to Loan No. 7, West Town Mall, Dillard’s, JCPenney and Sears Auto land and improvements are tenant-owned with no attributable base rent. Sears Retail and Longhorn Steakhouse own their respective improvements, but not the underlying land, which is ground leased from the borrower at an underwritten base rent of $0 and $147,500, respectively.
   
(3) In certain cases, mortgaged properties may have tenants that have executed leases that were included in the underwriting but have not yet commenced paying rent and/or are not in occupancy.
   
  With respect to Loan No. 1, 245 Park Avenue, UW Revenues ($), UW NOI ($) and UW NCF ($) are calculated using (i) for non-investment grade tenants, rent steps through April 2018 and (ii) for investment-grade tenants, the average base rent over the lesser of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan term and the applicable lease term.
   
  With respect to Loan No. 1, 245 Park Avenue, the Largest Tenant, Société Générale, subleases a portion of its space to Brunswick Group and MIO Partners. The 2nd Largest Tenant, JPMCB, subleases a portion of its space to Société Générale, the Largest Tenant at the property.

The 3rd Largest Tenant, Major League Baseball (“MLB”), subleases a portion of its space to National Bank of Australia, Houlihan Lokey Inc. and Anthos USA Inc. MLB has announced that it plans to vacate its space at the end of its lease term in October 2022 and that it has executed a lease at another location and intends to move in to such location in 2019.

(1)The 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan was co-originated by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch and Société Générale.

(2)The 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan is part of a whole loan comprised of (i) one senior note with an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $75.0 million, (ii) a companion loan, which is pari passu with the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan (such companion loan being comprised of 19 pari passu notes) with an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $1.005 billion and (iii) a subordinate companion loan (such companion loan being comprised of five pari passu notes) with an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $120.0 million. The A-Notes Financial Information presented in the chart above reflects the $1.08 billion aggregate Cut-off Date balance of the 245 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and the 245 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, excluding the 245 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan.

(5)Based on remeasured net rentable area of 1,779,515 square feet in accordance with current REBNY standards which is the basis for the square footage in future leasing. The property’s contractual square footage is 1,723,993 square feet as leased.

(6)Current Occupancy includes HNA Capital USA LLC (an affiliate of the loan sponsor) and MIO Partners (together, approximately 2.7% of the remeasured net rentable area), which have executed leases but have not yet taken occupancy.

(7)The increase in 2015 NOI from 2014 NOI was primarily due to contractual rent increases resulting in an increase in the weighted average base rent per square foot from approximately $68.87 to approximately $72.69 per square foot. The increase in 2016 NOI from 2015 NOI is primarily due to an increase in occupancy from 93.6% to 95.0% and an increase in in-place weighted average base rent per square foot from approximately $72.69 to approximately $74.66 per square foot. The increase in UW NOI from TTM NOI is primarily due to the inclusion of underwritten rent steps over underwritten rents in place, which rent steps equate to (i) for non-investment-grade tenants, base rent steps through April 2018, and (ii) for investment-grade tenants, the average base rent over the lesser of the loan term and lease term; with respect to the JPMorgan Chase Bank space subleased to Société Générale, the underwritten rent step is calculated using the average base rent over the loan term of the JPMorgan Chase Bank base rent of $61.50 per square foot to October 2022 and the base rent pursuant to Société Générale’s direct lease of $88.00 per square foot on a remeasured square footage that is 30,831 square feet higher than the current JPMorgan Chase Bank net rentable area through the remainder of the loan term.

According to the appraisal, Park Avenue is widely considered to be one of the premier office corridors in the United States due to its central location, prestigious tenancy, proximity to Grand Central Station and other amenities.

The property’s largest tenant is Société Générale, a French multinational banking and financial services company, which utilizes the 245 Park Avenue property as its United States headquarters and leases 33.3% of the remeasured net rentable area through October 2032 across 12 floors. In 2010, Société Générale executed a sublease from JPMorgan Chase Bank for 562,347 contractual square feet through October 31, 2022. Additionally, in 2010, Société Générale executed a 10-year direct lease with the prior owner of 245 Park Avenue for 593,344 remeasured square feet which has a start date of November 1, 2022 at (i) approximately $88.00 per square foot for the first five years of the term and (ii) a base rent for the second five-year period of the term equal to the higher of the rent payable for the first five years and a fair market rental value (not to exceed $110 per square foot).

As of 2016, JPMorgan Chase Bank reported revenues of $95.7 billion and assets of $2.5 trillion. The JPMorgan Chase Bank space does not include the space subleased to Société Générale due to the fact that Société Générale has executed a direct lease which begins November 1, 2022. Of the 225,438 contractual square feet of JPMorgan Chase Bank space, a total of 189,686 contractual square feet is subleased through October 30, 2022.

MLB is a professional baseball league in North America and is currently headquartered at the 245 Park Avenue property. MLB reported record revenues in 2015, up $500 million from the prior year and approaching $9.5 billion. MLB had attendance of more than 73 million fans in 2016.

In addition, MLB has signed a lease at another location and declared its intention to move into that space in 2019, which is approximately three years prior to its lease expiration date. If MLB does not renew its lease 12 months before its lease expiration date or if MLB vacates or abandons all or substantially all of its premises, a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below) will be triggered under the loan documents.

(3)Percentage column represents percent of Net Rental Income for all revenue lines and represents percent of Effective Gross Income for the remainder of fields.

(4)The increase in Underwritten Gross Potential Rent from TTM Gross Potential Rent is primarily due to the inclusion of rent steps, which are underwritten to (i) for non-investment-grade tenants, rent steps through April 2018 and (ii) for investment-grade tenants, the average base rent over the lesser of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan term and the applicable lease term.  With respect to the Société Générale subleased space, rent steps are underwritten based on the average of the JPMorgan Chase base rent of $61.50 per square foot through October 2022 and base rent pursuant to Société Générale’s direct lease of $88.00 per square foot through the remainder of the loan term.

(5)Expense Recoveries are calculated on a tenant-by-tenant basis according to each tenant’s reimbursement methodology. Reimbursements for the JPMorgan Chase Bank space subleased to Société Générale are underwritten pursuant to the triple-net JPMorgan Chase Bank lease; upon the commencement of Société Générale’s direct modified gross lease in October 2022, the tenant is instead required to reimburse expenses over a base year of 2013.

The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account.

 

A “Cash Sweep Event” means the occurrence of (a) an event of default under the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan or an event of default under the mezzanine loans, (b) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the borrower or property manager (in the case of the property manager, to the extent such action results in the cash or bank accounts associated with the property being subsumed in the action or that has a material adverse effect on the property or the value or security of the lender’s interests), (c) the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents) for the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan and mezzanine loans based on underwritten net cash flow falling below 1.15x at the end of any quarter, based on the trailing three-month period or (d) MLB failing to renew all or substantially all of its premises at least 12 months before its lease expiration date or MLB vacating or abandoning all or substantially all of its premises (provided that any sweep, in the case of (d), will be capped at $85.00 per square foot with respect to the space leased by MLB) (a “Tenant Trigger Event”).

A “DSCR Cure” means the satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the borrower delivers a letter of credit with a notional amount which, if applied to the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan and each mezzanine loan, would result in a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.15x based upon the trailing three-month period immediately preceding the date of determination and (b) no Cash Sweep Event resulting from a separate event has occurred which has not been cured; provided that (x) the amount of the letter of credit (together with the amount of any other letters of credit that have been delivered by the borrower under the loan documents) may not exceed 10% of the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan, unless such excess is permitted under a new non-consolidation opinion and (y) the borrower has no reimbursement obligations with respect to such letter of credit.

 

A “Tenant Trigger Cure” means either (x) the replacement of MLB with one or more tenants approved by the lender if required under the loan documents leasing not less than 90% of the leasable area of the MLB space (including any portion of the space retained by MLB), which tenant(s) are in occupancy and paying full contractual rent, without right of offset or free rent credit, as evidenced by an estoppel certificate or (y) during the period of any Cash Sweep Event from and after a Tenant Trigger Event, excess cash flow has been deposited in the cash management account in an amount equal to or exceeding $85.00 per rentable square foot with respect to the space demised under the MLB lease.

 

Additional Debt. The $568.0 million mezzanine debt consists of a $236.5 million mezzanine loan A, a $221.0 million mezzanine loan B and a $110.5 million mezzanine loan C. The mezzanine loan A has a 5.00000% coupon, the mezzanine loan B has a 5.70000% coupon and the mezzanine Loan C has a 6.85000% coupon. The mezzanine loans are interest-only for the full term of the loans and are coterminous with the 245 Park Avenue Whole Loan. Including the 245 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan and mezzanine loans, the cumulative Cut-off Date LTV, cumulative UW NCF DSCR and cumulative UW NOI Debt Yield are 80.0%, 1.42x and 6.5%, respectively. The mortgage and mezzanine lenders have entered into an intercreditor agreement. The mezzanine loans have been or are expected to be sold to institutional investors.

(8)The portfolio consists of 41 single tenant properties, many of which are recently constructed build-to-suit projects, each leased on a triple net basis. Due to the underlying structure of each lease as well as the lack of operating history for the majority of properties, no historical financial information is presented above.
(9)Appraised Value / Per SF, Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV are calculated based on the “As Complete” appraised value for two properties, Baxalta (Barry Pointe) and Baxalta (Casselberry), which are under construction. These values assume each property is 100.0% leased upon completion of the construction. According to the sponsor, each property is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2017. Based on the aggregate “as is” appraised value of $769.115 million, which excludes Baxalta (Barry Pointe) and Baxalta (Casselberry), the Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV are 45.9%. Appraisal Dates are in February and March 2017, except for Baxalta (Barry Pointe) and Baxalta (Casselberry).

The Loan Sponsor. The loan sponsor is ETCL Venture LP, a joint venture between China Life Insurance (Overseas) Company Limited (“China Life”) (94.6%) and ET II-CL 2016, LLC and ElmTree Managing Member II, LLC (collectively, “ElmTree”) (5.4%). At origination, China Life purchased 94.6% of ElmTree’s stake in the portfolio. There is no nonrecourse carve-out guarantor for the Gateway Net Lease Portfolio Whole Loan and the borrowers are the sole parties liable for any breach or violation of the nonrecourse carve-out provisions in the Whole Loan documents or the related environmental indemnity. Headquartered in Beijing, China, China Life and its subsidiaries comprise the largest commercial insurance group in mainland China with over 130,000 employees. Ranked number 54 on Fortune’s Global 500 Company list, China Life has approximately $361.6 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2016. As of May 24, 2017, China Life had a market capitalization of approximately $111.6 billion and is the first insurance company to be triple-listed in New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai. ElmTree is a real estate investment firm led by managing principal and founder James Koman, focusing primarily on commercial real estate net lease, sale-leaseback and build-to-suit opportunities. ElmTree has completed in excess of $4.0 billion in commercial real estate transactions.

 

The Properties. The Gateway Net Lease Portfolio consists of 41 single tenant industrial and office properties totaling approximately 5.3 million square feet. The properties are located across 20 states, with the largest concentration in Texas (23.8% of net rentable area), Indiana (12.1% of net rentable area) and Michigan (9.1% of net rentable area). The properties were built between 1960 and 2017, and 24 of the properties (58.3% of net rentable area) were built-to-suit (including the two properties under construction) for the respective tenants. Eight properties were built prior to 2000, with seven having since been renovated. According to the borrower sponsor, approximately $249.9 million has been spent at the build-to-suit properties in additional to the landlord provided tenant improvements. Two properties, Baxalta (Barry Pointe) and Baxalta (Casselberry), are currently under construction and expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2017. At origination, $10,720,000 was reserved in connection with these two properties. The loan documents provide for release of the applicable reserve to the borrowers upon completion of these properties, among other conditions, as further described in “Escrows and Reserves” below. The properties are all leased on a triple net basis and range in size from approximately 16,686 square feet to 517,000 square feet. The weighted average remaining lease term for the portfolio is approximately 9.1 years. The portfolio consists of 26 industrial properties (approximately 82.3% of the net rentable area), eight suburban office properties (15.5% of the net rentable area) and seven medical office properties (2.2% of the net rentable area). As of June 5, 2017 the portfolio is 100.0% leased to 25 unique tenants.

 

BAE Facility. The largest property by allocated loan amount, BAE Facility, is a 333,750 square foot manufacturing facility situated on approximately 39.2 acres and located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The property was constructed in 2015 on a build-to-suit basis and consists of a manufacturing component (approximately 86.5% of net rentable area) and an office component (approximately 13.5% of net rentable area). The manufacturing component of the property features 24-foot ceilings, two dock doors, LED lighting and air conditioning throughout approximately 93.6% of the area. The office component features a café, full commercial grade kitchen and an employee gym. The property contains 948 parking spaces resulting in a parking ratio of approximately 2.8 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net rentable area.

Treeview Industrial Portfolio

 

The Properties. The Treeview Industrial Portfolio consists of 14 industrial warehouse/distribution properties totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet. The properties are located across six states, with the largest concentration in Kentucky (45.4% of net rentable area), Georgia (20.5% of net rentable area) and Utah (10.4% of net rentable area). The properties were built between 1974 and 2000 and range in size from approximately 61,838 square feet to 525,000 square feet. According to the sponsor, since 2014, it has invested approximately $1.4 million ($0.44 per square foot) in order to maintain and improve the properties including repairs to the façade, exterior and interior painting, power washing, roof repairs, parking lot repairs and replacement of warehouse doors at certain properties. As of April 30, 2017, the portfolio was 96.0% leased to 26 tenants across a wide-range of industries including logistics, e-commerce, manufacturing, technology, pharmaceuticals, distribution, engineering, healthcare and ceramics among others. All of the properties within the Treeview Industrial Portfolio are leased on a triple net basis with the exception of Business Move Solutions at the 11 Boulden Circle property, which does not reimburse for structural expenses. 

 

Eastgate. The largest property by allocated loan amount, Eastgate, is a one story, 200,000 square foot industrial warehouse/distribution center situated on approximately 10.54 acres and located in San Diego, California. The property was constructed in 1995 and consists of a warehouse/distribution component (approximately 90.0% of net rentable area of the property) and an office component (approximately 10.0% of net rentable area of the property). The property features 56 dock-high loading doors and 13 grade-level loading doors. The property contains 208 parking spaces, resulting in a parking ratio of approximately 1.0 space per 1,000 square feet of net rentable area.

 

The Eastgate property is currently 100.0% leased to FedEx Ground and FedEx Express (collectively, “FedEx”) on a triple net basis through 2020. FedEx has been a tenant at the property since it was built in 1996 and has extended its lease multiple times. FedEx uses the Eastgate property for warehousing, package sorting and package distribution. FedEx accounts for approximately 6.3% and 15.1% of the net rentable area and underwritten base rent, respectively, of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties.

 

The Eastgate property accounts for approximately 16.2% of the allocated loan amount of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties.

 

The Eastgate property is located in the Miramar area of San Diego, California and is approximately 13.9 miles north of downtown San Diego. Access to the property is provided via Miramar Road to the south which connects to both Interstate 805 and Interstate 15, which are located approximately 2.0 miles west and 5.0 miles east from the property, respectively. San Diego International Airport is located approximately 15.0 miles south of the Eastgate property and serves approximately 20.0 million passengers per year. According the appraisal, as of the first quarter of 2017, the Central San Diego industrial market consisted of approximately 64.9 million square feet with an overall vacancy rate of 4.5%. The appraisal identified seven comparable industrial facilities ranging in size from 61,121 square feet to 366,080 square feet and constructed between 1979 and 2001. Base rents for the comparable triple-net leases ranged from $8.76 per square foot to $11.40 per square foot, with a weighted average of approximately $10.00 per square foot which is 8.3% above the underwritten base rent of $9.23 per square foot for the property. The appraisal did not identify any properties currently under construction that would compete with the Eastgate property. Additionally, the appraisal indicated that there is a lack of finished land for new industrial development and high site values in the submarket preclude any industrial redevelopment.

 

1405 Worldwide. The second largest property by allocated loan amount, 1405 Worldwide, is a 525,000 square foot industrial warehouse/distribution building situated on approximately 28.8 acres and located in Hebron, Kentucky. The property was constructed in 2000 and consists of a warehouse component (approximately 97.7% of net rentable area) and an office component (approximately 2.3% of net rentable area). The property features 25 dock-high doors alongside of the building along with 32 foot clear ceiling heights. The property contains 300 parking spaces resulting in a parking ratio of approximately 0.57 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net rentable area.

 

The 1405 Worldwide property is currently 100.0% leased to Wayfair on a triple net basis through March 2019 and its lease contains two remaining five-year extension options. Founded in 2002, Wayfair is an online home goods retailer offering over 8.0 million products from approximately 10,000 suppliers with more than 5,000 employees. Wayfair is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and had a market capitalization of approximately $6.6 billion as of June 21, 2017 with revenue of more than $3.6 billion for the twelve months ended March 31, 2017. According to the appraisal, the 1405 Worldwide property accounts for over 25% of its United States leased fulfillment space. Wayfair accounts for approximately 16.6% and 13.7% of the net rentable area and underwritten base rent, respectively, of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties.

 

The 1405 Worldwide property accounts for approximately 13.5% of the allocated loan amount of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties.

Property Management. The Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties are managed by Colliers International, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, Colliers International Management – Atlanta, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, Colliers International North Texas, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Colliers International Real Estate Management Services (CA), Inc., a Delaware corporation, Colliers International Real Estate Management Services (VA) LLC, Delaware limited liability company and Colliers Parrish Asset Management, Inc., a California corporation. 

 

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the borrower was required to deposit $735,171 for tax reserves, $620,455 for outstanding tenant improvements and leasing commissions, $144,525 for outstanding free rent, $71,924 for replacement reserves and $66,013 for tenant rollover reserves.

 

Tax Escrows - On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow 1/12 of annual estimated tax payments, which currently equates to $136,297.

 

Insurance Escrows – The requirement for the borrower to make deposits to the insurance escrow is waived so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the borrower provides satisfactory evidence that the property is insured as part of a blanket policy in accordance with the loan documents.

 

Replacement Reserves – On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow approximately $71,924 for ongoing replacement reserves (approximately $0.27 per square foot annually). Upon a release of an individual property as described in “Partial Releases” below, the monthly deposit is required to be reduced by an amount equal to 1/12 of the product of the square footage for the applicable individual property multiplied by $0.29. The replacement reserve is currently subject to a cap of $2,589,264 (approximately $0.82 per square foot).

 

TI/LC Reserves – On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow $66,013 (approximately $0.25 per square foot annually) for tenant improvement and leasing commission reserves. In addition, the borrower is required to deposit all lease termination fees in the reserve and, during the existence of a Cash Sweep Event caused solely by a DSCR Trigger Event, the loan documents require that all excess cash flow be deposited into the reserve. Upon the release of an individual property, as set forth in the loan agreement, the rollover reserve monthly deposit shall be reduced by an amount equal to 1/12 of the product of the square footage for the applicable individual property multiplied by $0.25. The reserve is currently subject to a cap (exclusive of lease termination fees) of $2,376,468 (approximately $0.75 per square foot) or, if a Cash Sweep Event exists, the amount of excess cash flow deposited in the rollover reserve account during such Cash Sweep Event.

Treeview Industrial Portfolio

 

Lockbox / Cash Management. The Treeview Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. At origination, the borrower was required to deliver written instructions to tenants to deposit all revenues into a lockbox account controlled by the lender. All funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept to or at the direction of the borrower unless a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below) is continuing, in which event such funds are required to be swept each business day into a cash management account controlled by the lender and disbursed on each payment date in accordance with the loan documents. During a Cash Sweep Event, except as described in “TI/LC Reserves” above all excess cash flow after payment of the debt service, required reserves and operating expenses are required to be held as additional collateral for the loan. The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account.

 

A “Cash Sweep Event” means the occurrence of (i) an event of default, (ii) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower, its single purpose entity principal (if required by the loan documents) or a Property Manager Trigger Event (as defined below), or (iii) a DSCR Trigger Event (as defined below) has occurred and is ongoing.

 

A “DSCR Trigger Event” means the trailing three-month debt service coverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the loan documents is less than 1.55x.

 

A “Property Manager Trigger Event” means (i) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of any property manager that is not an affiliated manager (other than an involuntary bankruptcy action that is discharged or dismissed within 30 days following its filing) and the borrower has not replaced such manager with one or more qualified managers under one or more replacement management agreements within 60 days following the borrower’s knowledge of such filing (which period may be extended by an additional 30 days to the extent it has diligently found one or more otherwise reasonably acceptable replacement manager and the failure to finalize such replacement is due solely to a delay in servicer approval or confirmation by rating agencies) or (ii) any bankruptcy action of an affiliated property manager.

 

A Cash Sweep Event may be cured by the following: if the Cash Sweep Event is caused solely by (a) clause (i) above, the acceptance by the lender of a cure of such event of default, (b) clause (ii) above, only with respect to the property manager, the borrower replaces such property manager with a qualified manager under a replacement management agreement, (c) clause (ii) above, solely with respect to an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the borrower or its principal in which none of the borrower, principal, guarantor nor any of their members or affiliates solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors or consented to or otherwise acquiesced in, colluded in or joined in such involuntary petition, the discharge, stay or dismissal of any such proceeding within 90 days of such filing without any material adverse consequences to the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan or the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Properties, as determined by the lender in its sole discretion and (d) clause (iii) above, the debt service coverage ratio based on the trailing three-month period is 1.55x or greater.

 

Partial Release. After the lockout period, the borrower is permitted to obtain the release of one or more individual properties from the lien of the applicable security instrument through a partial defeasance of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan if, among other conditions, (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the borrower defeases a portion of the Treeview Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan in an amount equal to or greater than 115% of the allocated loan amount for such property, (iii) after giving effect to the release, the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents) of the remaining property(ies) based on the trailing 12-month period equals or is greater than the greater of (a) 1.84x and (b) the debt service coverage ratio for all of the properties (including the individual properties requested to be released) immediately preceding the release based on the trailing-12 month period, and (iv) after giving effect to the release, the loan to value ratio for the properties then remaining subject to the liens of the security instruments is at least equal to 64.5%.

(4)For a full description of the sponsor, please refer to “The Loan Sponsor” below.

(5)Appraised Value / Per Room, Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV are calculated based on the appraised value of $956.0 million, which reflects an 8.1% premium attributable to the aggregate value of the SCG Hotel Portfolio properties as a whole. The sum of the values of each of the properties on an individual basis is $889.2 million, which represents a Cut-off Date LTV of 64.9%. The sum of the individual appraised values of $889.2 million includes valuations of nine properties based on their hypothetical “as renovated” values, which assume that property improvement plans required by each respective franchise agreement have been completed. At origination, the borrowers were required to reserve the full estimated cost of the property improvement plans or other renovations or capital improvements, which was estimated by the loan sponsors to be approximately $5.9 million. The aggregate “as is” value for each individual property as of April 23, 2017 is $884.7 million, which represents a Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV of 65.3%.

Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio

 

(1)The Portfolio Appraised Value of $956.0 million reflects a premium attributed to the aggregate value of the SCG Hotel Portfolio Properties as a whole. The sum of the values of each of the properties as of April 23, 2017 on an individual basis was $889.2 million. The sum of the individual appraised values of $889.2 million includes valuations of nine properties based on their hypothetical “as renovated” values, which assume that proposed property improvement plans required by each respective franchise agreement have been completed. At origination, the borrowers were required to reserve the full estimated cost of the property improvement plans or other renovations or capital improvements, which was estimated by the loan sponsors to be approximately $5.9 million.

(2)TTM RevPAR Penetration is based on data provided by a third party hotel research report.

(3)The Larkspur Landing properties operate pursuant to a licensing agreement with an affiliate of the borrower sponsor.

(4)Hilton Garden Inn Edison Raritan Center is subject to a ground lease, which commenced in September 2001 for a term of 75 years with current annual ground rent equal to $275,517.

(5)Country Inn & Suites Houston Intercontinental Airport East was out of service due to flood damage from May 2016 through January 2017. The borrowers used insurance proceeds of nearly $1.1 million to renovate the property, which is currently back online and in ramp up.

 

The SCG Hotel Portfolio Properties are comprised of 65 hotels offering a range of amenities, spanning the limited service, full service and extended stay varieties. The hotels range in size from 56 to 147 rooms with an average count of 98 rooms. The portfolio benefits from geographic diversity, in addition to an overall granular property mix. No individual portfolio property accounts for greater than 2.3% of total rooms or 5.8% of underwritten net cash flow. Further, the top 10 properties based on allocated loan amount account for only 19.4% of total rooms and 35.1% of underwritten net cash flow. All 65 hotels in the SCG Hotel Portfolio are operated pursuant to management agreements with one of Hersha (39 hotels), First Hospitality (nine hotels), TMI (nine hotels), Schulte (six hotels) or Pillar (two hotels). The hotels range in age from seven to 42 years old with an average age of approximately 16 years, while 59.0% of the portfolio based on underwritten net cash flow has been renovated since 2012.

 

Approximately $84.8 million ($13,319 per room) of capital expenditures have been made since 2012 in order to update the portfolio and maintain competitiveness within each asset’s market. Additionally, the borrowers have budgeted for approximately $28.8 million ($4,519 per room) in capital expenditures through 2019, of which approximately $5.9 million ($924 per room) is related to brand mandated property improvement plans or other renovations or capital improvements required by the related franchise agreements. The $5.9 million in capital expenditures related to brand mandated property improvement plans/renovations were reserved at origination. At origination, the borrowers reserved approximately $6.4 million ($5,000 per Larkspur Landing branded room) for any future capital work or FF&E associated with the Larkspur Landing properties. The Larkspur Landing properties operate pursuant to licensing agreements with an affiliate of the loan sponsor, which may be terminated upon 60 days’ notice, as further described below.

 

Historically, the portfolio as a whole has outperformed its competitive set with occupancy, ADR and RevPAR penetration rates each in excess of 100.0% for 2014 through the trailing 12-month period ending March 31, 2017. Additionally, on a more granular level, the vast majority of the portfolio has outperformed on an individual basis, with 80.1% of the portfolio based on room count achieving a RevPAR penetration in excess of 100.0% for the trailing 12-month period ending March 31, 2017. Further, dividing the portfolio by property sub-type, the portfolio has outperformed across the limited service, extended stay and full service sectors.

Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio

 

The SCG Hotel Portfolio benefits from strong brand and flag affiliations, as well as related customer loyalty programs. Approximately 60.2% (based on room count) and 53.0% (based on underwritten net cash flow) of the portfolio properties are associated with Marriott or Hilton affiliated flags, providing the portfolio with institutional quality brand affiliations across the majority of the portfolio. Approximately 20.1% (based on room count) and 34.8% (by underwritten new cash flow) of the portfolio properties are associated with the Larkspur Landing brand, all of which are located on the west coast. Larkspur Landing is an upscale select-service and extended-stay brand. The Larkspur Landing properties operate pursuant to a licensing agreement between the related operating companies (as licensee) and an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group (as licensor), which effectively owns the licensing rights to the Larkspur Landing brand/flag. The Larkspur Landing licensing agreement for each individual property, as applicable, calls for an annual license fee in the amount of $10 and may be terminated upon 60 days’ notice of termination by either the licensor or the licensee. Per the terms of the loan documents, the Larkspur Landing licensing agreements may not be terminated by the licensor during the term of the loan unless the borrowers replace the Larkspur Landing flag with a qualified franchisor (as defined in the loan documents).

 

In the event of any franchise or license agreement expiration, termination or cancellation in violation of the loan documents, an excess cash flow sweep will be triggered, as further described in “Lockbox / Cash Management” herein. Additionally, there is a recourse carve-out for any losses resulting from the material amendment or modification or expiration, cancellation or termination of any franchise or license agreement without the prior written consent of the lender.

 

The SCG Hotel Portfolio Properties are operated under six brands and 14 flags, a summary of which is provided below:

Starwood Capital Group Hotel Portfolio

 

Tax Escrows – During the continuance of a Trigger Period (as defined below), the borrowers will be required to deposit 1/12 of annual estimated taxes on a monthly basis.

 

Insurance Escrows During the continuance of a Trigger Period, the borrowers will be required to deposit 1/12 of annual estimated insurance premiums on a monthly basis. In addition, the requirement for the borrowers to make monthly deposits to the insurance escrow is waived so long as (i) no event of default exists and (ii) the borrowers provide satisfactory evidence that the SCG Hotel Portfolio Properties are insured under a blanket policy meeting the requirements of the loan documents.

 

FF&E Reserves - On a monthly basis, the borrowers are required to escrow 1/12 of the greater of 4.0% of gross revenue for the calendar month that is two months prior to the applicable payment date and the amount required under the franchise agreement for FF&E work. For any future capital work required under any franchise agreement after the origination date of the loan, the borrowers are required to make deposits into a reserve account in an amount equal to 100.0% of any future capital work required pursuant to a replacement franchise agreement mandated property improvement plan less any amounts then on deposit in the FF&E reserve account (provided that a capital work guaranty or a letter of credit may be provided by the guarantor in lieu of such deposits).

 

Ground Rent Reserve – During the continuance of a Trigger Period, the borrowers will be required to deposit 1/12 of the ground rent that the lender reasonably estimates will be payable under the ground lease encumbering the single ground leased property on a monthly basis.

 

Lockbox / Cash Management. The SCG Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan is structured with a soft springing lockbox and springing cash management. At origination the borrowers were required to establish seven lender-controlled lockbox accounts. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Trigger Period (as defined below), all sums payable to the borrowers under the related property management agreements, after the property managers have paid all amounts required to be paid under such agreements, are required to be deposited into the applicable lender-controlled lockbox account within two business days of receipt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Management Trigger Period, the borrowers or managers are required to (i) deliver tenant direction letters to all tenants instructing them to deposit all rents and payments directly into the applicable lender-controlled lockbox account and (ii) cause all credit card companies or clearing banks to deliver all receipts directly into the applicable lender-controlled lockbox account. All funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept each business day into the applicable lender-controlled cash management account and then to the applicable borrower operating account, unless a Trigger Period (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, in which case such funds are required to be swept each business day into a lender-controlled cash management account and disbursed on each payment date in accordance with the loan documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Period, all excess cash flow is required to be swept into the applicable cash management account and held by the lender as additional collateral for the SCG Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

A “Cash Management Trigger Period” will commence upon the date that the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents) for the SCG Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan falls below 2.00x. A Cash Management Trigger Period will cease to exist upon the date that the debt service coverage ratio is at least 2.00x for two consecutive calendar quarters.

 

A “Trigger Period” will commence upon (i) an event of default under the loan documents, (ii) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of the property managers or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrowers, (iii) any termination, expiration or cancellation of a franchise agreement or Larkspur Landing license agreement in violation of the loan documents or (iv) the date that the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents) for the SCG Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan falls below 1.75x.

 

A Trigger Period will cease to exist upon: (a) with respect to clause (i) above, a cure of the event of default being accepted by the lender in its sole and absolute discretion; (b) with respect to clause (ii) above caused by the bankruptcy or insolvency action of a property manager, the borrowers entering into a replacement management agreement with a qualified manager within 60 days of the initial bankruptcy or insolvency action (provided that such 60-day period may be extended an additional 30 days upon borrowers’ written request at lender’s reasonable discretion), and with respect to clause (ii) above caused by the involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency action of a borrower, the dismissal, discharge or stay of such action; (c) with respect to clause (iii) above, the borrowers entering into a replacement franchise agreement with a qualified franchisor within 60 days of the existing franchise agreement expiration, cancellation or termination date (provided that such 60-day period may be extended an additional 30 days upon borrowers’ written request at lender’s reasonable discretion); and (d) with respect to clause (iv) above, the debt service coverage ratio being at least 1.75x for two consecutive calendar quarters, which may be achieved at any time (x) by the underwritten net cash flow increasing to achieve such debt service coverage ratio threshold or (y) by a prepayment of principal or deposit of cash in an amount determined by the lender such that the debt service coverage ratio is at least 1.75x for two consecutive calendar quarters (provided such prepayment is to be accompanied by applicable yield maintenance charges). In addition, to the extent a Trigger Period is caused by an individual property, the borrowers may cure such Trigger Period by releasing such property in accordance with the loan documents.

Partial Release. After June 1, 2018, the borrower may obtain the release of an individual property or multiple properties from the collateral subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions including, without limitation: (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing (unless the event of default is non-monetary and would be cured by the release of the property and such non-monetary default is not the result of the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith actions or omissions of a borrower party), (ii) the remaining collateral has a debt service coverage ratio that is equal to or greater than (a) 2.65x and (b) the debt service coverage ratio in place immediately prior to the release, (iii) payment of a Release Price (as defined below), together with the related yield maintenance premium associated with the Release Price, (iv) satisfaction of customary REMIC requirements, (v) payment of all interest which would have accrued on the portion of the outstanding principal balance being prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring monthly payment date and (vi) payment of all other costs and expenses of lender in connection with the release, provided the debt service coverage ratio test in (ii) above may be satisfied with an additional prepayment of principal (with the related yield maintenance premium, as applicable) or a cash deposit with lender in an amount reasonably determined by the lender to meet such test. The “Release Price” is an amount equal to, (a) if less than $57,727,000 has been prepaid to date, 105% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual property, (b) if less than $86,590,500 has been prepaid to date, 110% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual property, (c) if less than $115,454,000 has been prepaid to date, 115% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual property and (d) (x) for all amounts prepaid in excess of $115,454,000 or (y) if any such release is to be conveyed to an affiliate of the borrowers, principals, operating companies or guarantors, 120% of the allocated loan amount of each such individual property.

Annex A-3   JPMCC 2017-JP7
 
First Stamford Place

 

The First Stamford Place property is located in the central business district of Stamford, Connecticut. The property benefits from being located directly adjacent to Interstate 95, which provides access to New York City, Boston and Hartford, and is approximately 0.3 miles from the Stamford Metro North Train Station, which has direct service to Grand Central Station and access to both Amtrak and Acela Express. The property is located approximately 25.1 miles and 30.0 miles north of LaGuardia Airport and Midtown Manhattan, respectively, and is also located within a 50.0 mile radius of Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Westchester County Airport and Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut. The property is located in a Connecticut Enterprise Zone, which, as it relates to the property, allows a qualified business the opportunity to receive a credit on the state corporate business tax. According to the appraisal, the 2016 estimated population within a one-, three- and five-mile radius of the property was 29,870, 123,088 and 174,836, respectively, and the average household income within a one-, three- and five-mile radius of the property was $77,410, $128,920 and $149,203, respectively.

 

According to the appraisal, the property is located in the Stamford central business district submarket of the greater Fairfield County market. According to a third party information provider, as of the first quarter of 2017, the Stamford central business district submarket consisted of approximately 9.7 million square feet of office space with an overall vacancy rate of 33.2% and average rents of $42.79 per square foot. However, a significant amount of office vacancy in the Stamford central business district is situated in three buildings (677 Washington Boulevard, 695 East Main Street and 1 Elmcroft Road) that comprise 16.1% of the total submarket office inventory. According to the appraisal, 677 Washington Boulevard, 695 East Main Street and 1 Elmcroft Road are not directly competitive with the property since they were designed as corporate headquarters with very large floor plans, long corridors and are inefficiently designed for a multi-tenant building, while the property caters to small and medium sized tenants. The appraisal identified five properties as directly competitive with the First Stamford Place property, which have a weighted average vacancy of 7.8%. The appraisal identified six comparable office leases in the Stamford market in six buildings ranging in size from approximately 133,000 square feet to 590,440 square feet. Asking rents for the comparable leases ranged from $40.00 per square foot to $59.00 per square foot, with a weighted average of approximately $45.57 per square foot. The weighted average underwritten base rent for office space at the First Stamford Place is $42.32, which is in-line with the appraisal’s concluded weighted average office rent of $42.54 per square foot for the property.

Property Management. The property is managed by ESRT Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the loan sponsor.

 

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the borrower deposited into escrow $5,248,949 for outstanding tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to four tenants, $4,138,229 for outstanding free rent related to six tenants and $2,486,098 for tax reserves.

TI/LC Reserves - On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow $168,848 (approximately $2.50 per square foot annually) for replacement reserves. The reserve is not subject to a cap.

 

Lockbox / Cash Management. The First Stamford Place Whole Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The borrower was required to send tenant direction letters to all tenants upon the origination of the loan instructing them to deposit all rents and payments directly into the lockbox account controlled by the lender. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below), all funds in the lockbox account are required to be transferred to or at the direction of the borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Event, all funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept each business day to a segregated cash management account under the control of the lender and disbursed on each payment date during the term of the loan in accordance with the loan documents. During a Cash Sweep Event, except as described below, all excess cash flow after payment of mortgage and mezzanine debt service, required reserves and operating expenses is required to be held as additional collateral for the loan. The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account. To the extent that a Cash Sweep Event is caused solely by a DSCR Trigger Event, the lender is required to release funds from the excess cash flow subaccount in an amount sufficient (as reasonably determined by the borrower) to enable Empire to satisfy distribution requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts and to otherwise avoid the imposition of federal and state income and excise taxes with respect to any taxable year, up to a maximum amount of $100,000 annually (and in no event more than 1/12 of such capped amount for each month of the period during such Cash Sweep Event).

 

A “Cash Sweep Event” means the occurrence of (i) an event of default under the loan documents or the mezzanine loan, (ii) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower or property manager or (iii) the date on which the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents and including the mezzanine loan), based on the trailing three months, is less than 1.35x for two consecutive calendar quarters (a “DSCR Trigger Event”).

 

A Cash Sweep Event may be cured by (a) with respect to clause (i) above, a cure of the related event of default, (b) with respect to clause (ii) above, only with respect to the property manager, the borrower replacing the property manager with a qualified manager under a new management agreement within 60 days after such bankruptcy or insolvency action, (c) with respect to clause (ii) above, only with respect to an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower that is not solicited, consented to or otherwise acquiesced or joined in by the borrower, guarantor or any of their affiliates, upon the dismissal, stay or discharge of such action within 90 days of the date of filing or (d) with respect to clause (iii) above, (x) the achievement of a debt service coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.35x for two consecutive calendar quarters based on the trailing three month period or (y) the borrower depositing cash or a letter of credit reasonably acceptable to the lender in an amount that if used to pay down the First Stamford Place Whole Loan, would result in the achievement of the foregoing debt service coverage ratio (each of the foregoing (a) through (d), a “Cash Sweep Event Cure”). Each Cash Sweep Event Cure is also subject to the following limitations: (1) a Cash Sweep Event Cure may occur no more than five times during the term of the loan, except that the borrower is not limited in the number of times it may cure a DSCR Trigger Event; (2) the borrower pays all of the lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Cash Sweep Event Cure and (3) the borrower may not cure a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower.

 

Additional Debt. There is a $16.0 million mezzanine loan that is coterminous with the First Stamford Place Whole Loan.

As of July 6, 2017, the property was 100.0% leased to a single tenant, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Charles Schwab”). Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) has been a tenant at the property since April 1998 and renewed its lease in October 2016 for an extension term starting in May 2018 for a 10-year period through April 2028. Charles Schwab’s lease contains two consecutive options to extend the lease for the entire premises, with different extension periods applying to different floors, ranging from five years to 14 years when fully exercised. Additionally, the lease contains two partial extension options ranging from seven-year to 14-year periods, contingent on how many floors Charles Schwab elects to renew. The property currently serves as Charles Schwab’s global headquarters, and since 1998, Charles Schwab has reportedly invested over $25.0 million ($60.00 per square foot) in capital improvements to the property. Major capital improvement projects have included the renovation of the second and third floors to trading floors, construction of an auditorium, penthouse expansion, lobby renovation and general updates to the building mechanics. As part of the October 2016 renewal, the lease includes a provision that requires approximately $18.2 million ($44.00 per square foot) in additional capital expenditures to be invested in the property, of which approximately $6.0 million ($14.00 per square foot) is required to be paid for by Charles Schwab and approximately $12.2 million ($29.00 per square foot) is required to be paid for by the borrower. At origination, the loan sponsor provided a guaranty for all outstanding tenant improvement obligations, which is capped as described below under “Escrows and Reserves”.

 

The 211 Main Street property is located in the central business district of San Francisco, California. Within walking distance of the property are the Union Square shopping district, Treasure Island, Westfield San Francisco Centre shopping mall, Rincon Park and AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants major league baseball team. The property also benefits from its proximity to major public transportation lines, including the Embarcadero BART train station, which is located two blocks northwest, Interstate Highway 80 and the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, located approximately three blocks southeast. Additionally, the property is located approximately 14.4 miles north of San Francisco International Airport and approximately 9.2 miles west of the Oakland central business district. The property is expected to benefit from the completion of the Transbay Transit Center, a mass-transit hub that is expected to connect eight Bay Area counties through 11 transportation systems including the BART, AC Transit, Amtrak, Caltrain and California’s planned high speed rail system. According to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the larger development, which is located approximately 0.5 miles northeast of the property, is expected to include 4,400 residential units, approximately 100,000 square feet of new retail space and an approximately 1.4 million square foot office tower. Additionally, the project is expected to feature City Park, a 5.4-acre rooftop public park with a variety of activities and amenities including an open air amphitheater, gardens, open grass areas and restaurant and café. The Transbay Transit Center consists of two primary components, with the first phase expected to be completed in the fall of 2017. The first phase will include construction of the above-ground portion of the new Transit Center, the below-grade rail levels and the bus ramp connecting the Transit Center to the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge. A timeline has not been provided yet for the construction of phase two, which includes the downtown rail extension.

 

According to the appraisal, the property is located in the South Financial District office submarket of the greater San Francisco – Redwood City – South San Francisco market. According to a third party information provider, as of year-end 2016, the South Financial District Class A office submarket consisted of 50 buildings totaling approximately 21.5 million square feet of office space with an overall vacancy rate of 5.4% and average rents of $60.90 per square foot. The appraisal identified seven comparable office leases in the San Francisco market ranging in size from approximately 25,524 square feet to 91,950 square feet. Base rents for the comparable leases ranged from $60.00 per square foot to $70.00 per square foot, with a weighted average of approximately $66.37 per square foot. The comparable leases identified by the appraisal are all on a modified gross basis. Per Charles Schwab’s recently executed 10-year lease extension, Charles Schwab is required to pay $37.78 per square foot on a triple-net basis beginning in May 2018. The appraisal adjusted the rent to a modified gross basis to conform to market convention and has adjusted the Charles Schwab rent to $63.65 per square foot, which is in-line with the comparable modified gross office leases identified by the appraisal.

The guaranty is subject to a cap of approximately $12,191,209, which cap is required to be decreased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any amounts on deposit in the excess cash flow account as of the date of determination (and during the continuance of an event of default, the date of determination is required to be the date that is immediately prior to the event of default).

 

Tax Escrows - The requirement for the borrower to make deposits to the real estate tax escrow is waived so long as no Cash Trap Event (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing.

Insurance Escrows - The requirement for the borrower to make deposits to the insurance escrow is waived so long as (i) no Cash Trap Event has occurred and is continuing or (ii) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and the property is insured as part of a blanket policy (which insures significant other real property not subject to the lien of the loan documents and owned or managed, directly or indirectly, by the guarantor, any parallel partnerships and alternative investment vehicles comprising the real estate fund commonly known as Blackstone Property Partners, any property manager or any their respective affiliates, in an amount reasonably acceptable to the lender) in accordance with the loan documents or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the lender. In addition, to the extent the borrower provides invoices or other evidence that insurance premiums have been paid by Charles Schwab under its lease, the monthly deposit is required to be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by such amounts paid.

 

Replacement Reserves - The requirement for the borrower to make monthly deposits to the replacement reserve is waived so long as no Cash Trap Event has occurred and is continuing. In the event the borrower is required to make deposits into the replacement reserve, on a monthly basis, the borrower is required to deposit approximately $7,650 ($0.22 per square foot annually) for replacement reserves. The reserve is subject to a cap of approximately $183,597 ($0.44 per square foot).

Lockbox / Cash Management. The 211 Main Street Whole Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The borrower was required at origination to deliver tenant direction letters instructing all tenants to deposit rents into a lockbox account controlled by the lender. All funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept each business day into the borrower’s operating account, unless a Cash Trap Event is continuing, in which event such funds are required to be swept not less than twice per week into a cash management account controlled by the lender and disbursed on each payment date in accordance with the loan documents. The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account.

(“Simon”) and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, for the benefit of its separate real estate account (“TIAA” and, together with Simon, the “Loan Sponsor”). Simon is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Simon Property Group Inc., a publicly traded REIT (NYSE: SPG, S&P: A) that is focused on retail property ownership and management.

The Property. West Town Mall is an approximately 1.3 million square foot, super regional mall located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Approximately 772,503 square feet of the West Town Mall serve as collateral for the West Town Mall Whole Loan. West Town Mall was originally constructed in 1972 and underwent expansions and renovations in 1985, 1998 and 2013. Furthermore, the property is anticipated to undergo a renovation at an estimated cost of $15.75 million commencing in July 2017 with an expected completion in April 2018. Upgrades are expected to include improvements and repairs to the floors, lighting, ceilings, skylights, paint, restrooms, furniture, landscaping and signage. In addition to the aforementioned general improvements, the renovation plan includes the renovation of four out of five mall entrances, the construction of a new entrance from the parking garage and a renovation of the food court. The property is located on an approximately 96.0 acre parcel and is Tennessee’s largest enclosed mall. The property benefits from several large scale anchors, as detailed below, in addition to a diverse mix of both national and local in-line retail tenants. The property contains 6,648 parking spaces split between an indoor parking garage and surface parking lots surrounding the property, resulting in an overall parking ratio of 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet based on the total mall square footage of approximately 1.3 million square feet.

 

The mall includes several anchor tenants, both non-owned and collateral. Non-owned anchors include Dillard’s, JCPenney and Sears Auto, each of which owns its own underlying land and improvements, as well as Sears Retail, which owns its improvements, but not the underlying land, which is ground leased from the borrower with no attributable underwritten base rent. The Dillard’s and JCPenney land and improvements, as well as the Sears improvements, are not collateral for the West Town Mall Whole Loan. The largest collateral anchor tenant at the property is Belk (39.6% of net rentable area). Belk occupies two separate spaces at the property, Belk Women’s Store and Belk Men Home & Kids. Most recently, in June 2017 Belk executed a 15-year renewal through January 2033 with two, five-year extension options. Belk Women’s Store has been a tenant at the property since 1987, while Belk Men Home & Kids has been a tenant at the property since 1994. Belk has committed, under certain circumstances, to invest approximately $6.0 million on both spaces (approximately $20 per square foot) on store upgrades as part of its renewal. Please refer to “Borrowers Right to Terminate Belk Women’s Space” for more details. In addition, Belk has committed to a 10-year operating covenant, in which Belk is required to regularly and continuously operate a fashion department store in not less than 60.0% of both the Belk Women’s Store and Belk Men Home & Kids store and has agreed to not open a new fashion department store within nine miles of the property. Collectively, the two stores achieved approximately $30.0 million in sales for the trailing 12-month period ending February 28, 2017, resulting in total sales per square foot of approximately $98 and an occupancy cost of approximately 5.0%.

As of May 31, 2017, the property was 93.1% leased to 114 tenants. The overall mall, inclusive of the non-owned collateral tenants, is 96.0% occupied (96.7% including temporary tenants). The property’s tenant offering is diverse with a range of high-end and mass market tenants, in addition to numerous restaurant options and a nine-screen Regal Cinema. In addition to its anchors, the property’s in-line tenants include national retailers such as Apple, Swarovski, Sephora Forever 21, Coach, Foot Locker, Pottery Barn and Victoria’s Secret. Forty such retailers operate exclusively at West Town Mall in the Knoxville market. The property features an exclusive Apple prototype space, which Apple has indicated to the loan sponsor was built-out at an estimated cost between $8.0 and $9.0 million. Currently, there is only one other prototype Apple store in the United States, which is located in San Francisco, California. Other than the collateral anchors, no individual tenant occupies more than 2.0% of net rentable area or accounts for more than 3.5% of underwritten base rent. The property has achieved success both in attracting and maintaining high quality in-line tenants, as evidenced by recent leasing activity including 20 new and renewal leases signed since June 1, 2016 accounting for 45.4% of net rentable area and 20.6% of underwritten base rent. For the trailing 12-month period ending February 28, 2017, tenants that reported sales reported total sales of approximately $199.4 million ($277 per square foot) and comparable sales for tenants less than 10,000 square feet of $520 per square foot with an average occupancy cost of 9.7%.

Property Management. The properties are managed by JKMK LP, an affiliate of the loan sponsor.

  

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the borrowers deposited $249,123 for deferred maintenance, $202,181 for real estate taxes, $200,000 for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions and $28,869 for insurance.

 

Tax Escrows - On a monthly basis, the borrowers are required to escrow 1/12 of the annual estimated tax payments, which currently equates to $50,424.

 

Insurance Escrows - On a monthly basis, the borrowers are required to escrow 1/12 of the annual estimated insurance payments, which currently equates to $7,217.

 

Replacement Reserves - On a monthly basis, the borrowers are required to escrow $4,178 (approximately $0.21 per square foot annually) for replacement reserves.

TI/LC Reserves – On a monthly basis during the first year of the loan term, the borrowers are required to escrow the difference between interest-only monthly debt service payments and an amount equal to what would be the principal portion of the monthly debt service payments if such payments were based on a 30-year amortization schedule for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions, which currently equates to approximately $28,059. Commencing on the payment date in August 2018, an ongoing TI/LC reserve deposit will be required in the amount of $10,417 per month (approximately $0.52 per square foot annually) so long as the guarantor financial conditions are not met (as defined in the loan documents). TI/LC reserve deposits will be suspended at any time that the balance in the TI/LC reserve is at least $1.5 million (the “TI/LC Cap”). The TI/LC Cap will be lowered to $1.0 million if the loan sponsor can provide personal financial statements showing a net worth of at least $20.0 million and liquidity of at least $1.5 million for four consecutive quarters. Upon the loan sponsor meeting the net worth and liquidity requirement and the TI/LC reserve having a balance of at least $1.0 million, the ongoing TI/LC reserve deposits are required then to be reduced to $4,167 per month (approximately $0.21 per square foot annually).

 

Lockbox / Cash Management. The loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The borrowers and property manager were required at origination to send tenant direction letters to tenants instructing them to deposit all rents and payments directly into a lockbox account controlled by the lender. During a Sweep Event (as defined below), all funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept daily to a cash management account under the control of the lender and disbursed during the term of the loan in accordance with the loan documents and all excess cash flow after payment of debt service, required reserves and operating expenses is required to be held as additional collateral for the loan.

 

A “Sweep Event” means: (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the loan documents, (ii) the debt service coverage ratio as calculated in the loan documents based on a trailing 12-month period falling below 1.15x or (iii) if Bob Mills Furniture at Crossroads Center (a) fails to extend its lease at the related property on terms reasonably acceptable to the lender, (b) otherwise terminates its lease, goes into default under its lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, goes dark or gives notice of its intention to do either or (c) becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding.

 

Preferred Equity. Realty Mogul 83, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, made a $3,325,000 preferred equity investment in the borrowers in connection with the origination of the mortgage loan. The preferred equity holder holds less than a 1.0% indirect interest in the borrowers as of the origination of the mortgage loan. The term of the preferred equity investment is coterminous with the mortgage loan, and the preferred equity investment is fully subordinated to the mortgage loan. The mortgage loan together with the preferred equity investment is underwritten to an aggregate debt service coverage ratio equal to 1.17x, an aggregate debt yield equal to 9.4% and a combined loan-to-value equal to 76.7%, based on a preferred equity preferred annual rate of return equal to 14.0% absent a changeover event (and 19% after a changeover event). If the preferred equity holder does not receive its monthly preferred return, it has the right to designate a replacement general partner and terminate any agreements with affiliates of the general partner, provided, however, the mortgage loan documents do not permit a transfer of control from the borrower sponsor to the preferred equity holder at any time, notwithstanding the terms of the applicable limited partnership agreements of the sole members, and the lender’s consent to this change in control is required under the mortgage loan documents.

(2)% column represents percent of Net Rental Income for all revenue lines and represents percent of Effective Gross Income for the remainder of the fields.

(3)The increase in UW Net Operating Income from TTM Net Operating Income is predominantly driven by UW Net Operating Income being based on the straight line average of Amazon’s rent inclusive of contractual rent steps through lease expiration. Amazon signed a new lease in December 2016 at an in-place base rent of $46.20 per square foot starting March 2018 with annual contractual rent steps of approximately 3.0%. Amazon’s current rent as of the Cut-Off Date is $31.52 per square foot.

 

Property Management. The property is managed by Harbor Group Management Co., LLC, a Virginia limited liability company and an affiliate of the loan sponsors.

 

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the borrower deposited $1,705,165 for free rent reserves, $1,107,250 in outstanding tenant improvements and leasing commissions reserves, $141,459 for real estate taxes, and $1,107 for replacement reserves.

 

Tax Escrows - On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow 1/12 of the annual estimated tax payments, which currently equates to $70,730.

 

Insurance Escrows - The requirement for the borrowers to make deposits to the insurance escrow is waived so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the borrower provides satisfactory evidence that (a) the property is insured as part of a blanket policy in accordance with the loan documents or (b) Amazon is required to maintain insurance policies under its lease meeting the requirements of the loan documents and the Amazon lease is in full force and effect.

 

Replacement Reserves - On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow $1,107 (approximately $0.15 per square foot annually) for replacement reserves. The reserve is not subject to a cap.

 

Lockbox / Cash Management. The Torre Plaza loan is structured with a hard lockbox and in-place cash management. At origination, the borrower was required to send a tenant direction letter to the sole tenant at the property instructing it to deposit all rents and payments into the lockbox account. All funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept on each business day to a segregated cash management account under the control of the lender. To the extent there is a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below) continuing, all excess cash flow after payment of the debt service, required reserves and operating expenses is required to be held as additional collateral for the loan. The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account.

Annex A-3   JPMCC 2017-JP7
Torre Plaza

 

A “Cash Sweep Event” means the occurrence of (i) an event of default, (ii) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower or the property manager (unless the property manager is not affiliated with the borrower and is replaced with a qualified manager under a replacement management agreement within 60 days of such action), (iii) the date on which the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents) falls below 1.35x based on the trailing three-month period immediately preceding the date of such determination, (iv) Amazon Trigger Event (as defined below) or (v) Downgrade Trigger Event (as defined below). A Cash Sweep Event may be cured by (a) with respect to clause (i) above, a cure of the related event of default, (b) with respect to clause (ii) above, only with respect to the property manager, the borrower replacing the property manager with a qualified manager under a new management agreement within 60 days after such bankruptcy action or if such action is dismissed or discharged within 60 days of such action, (c) with respect to clause (iii) above, the achievement of a debt service coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.40x for two consecutive calendar quarters based on the trailing three-month period, (d) with respect to clause (iv) above, if caused by clause (A) or (C) below, the borrower executes a replacement lease with one or more tenants acceptable to the lender in accordance with the loan documents (the “Amazon Replacement Lease Criteria”), and if caused by clause (B) below, the borrower meets the Amazon Replacement Lease Criteria or the borrower renews the Amazon lease in accordance with the loan documents and (e) with respect to clause (v) above, Amazon’s credit rating is increased to BBB- or better by S&P (each of the foregoing (a) through (e), a “Cash Sweep Event Cure”). Each Cash Sweep Event Cure is also subject to the following limitations: (1) a Cash Sweep Event Cure may occur no more than two times during the term of the loan; (2) the borrower pays all of the lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Cash Sweep Event Cure and (3) the borrower may not cure a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower.

 

An “Amazon Trigger Event” means the occurrence of (A) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of Amazon, (B) the failure of Amazon to renew its lease before the date that is nine months prior to its lease expiration in accordance with the loan documents and (C) Amazon “goes dark”, vacates or abandons its space. With respect to clause (B) above, the Lender believes a sweep will result in collections of approximately $2.3 million ($26.09 per square foot).

 

A “Downgrade Trigger Event” means Amazon’s credit rating is downgraded below BBB- by S&P.

Property Management. The property is managed by Penn Florida Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company.

 

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the borrower deposited into escrow $300,000 for an elevator and HVAC repair reserve, $218,211 for tax reserves, $160,979 for outstanding tenant improvements and leasing commissions, $83,842 for immediate repairs, $57,742 for outstanding free rent, $15,375 for insurance reserves, $13,376 for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions obligation and $1,605 for replacement reserves.

 

Tax Escrows – On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow 1/12 of the annual estimated tax payments, which currently equates to $31,173.

 

Insurance Escrows – The requirement for the borrower to make deposits to the insurance escrow is waived so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the borrower provides satisfactory evidence that the property is insured as part of a blanket policy in accordance with the loan documents.

 

Replacement Reserves – On a monthly basis, the borrower is required to escrow approximately $1,605 ($0.15 per square foot annually) for replacement reserves. The reserve is subject to a cap of $58,000 (approximately $0.45 per square foot).

Lockbox / Cash Management. The loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The borrower was required to send tenant direction letters to all tenants upon origination of the loan instructing them to deposit all rents and payments directly into the lockbox account controlled by the lender. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below), all funds in the lockbox account are required to be transferred to or at the direction of the borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Event, all funds in the lockbox account are required to be swept each business day to a segregated cash management account under the control of the lender and disbursed on each payment date during the term of the loan in accordance with the loan documents. During a Cash Sweep Event (as defined below), all excess cash flow after payment of debt service, required reserves and operating expenses is required to be held as additional collateral for the loan. The lender has been granted a first priority security interest in the cash management account.

A “Cash Sweep Event” means the occurrence of (i) an event of default, (ii) any bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower or property manager or (iii) the date on which the debt service coverage ratio (as calculated in the loan documents), based on the trailing three months, is less than 1.15x. A Cash Sweep Event may be cured by (a) with respect to clause (i) above, a cure of the related event of default, (b) with respect to clause (ii) above only with respect to the property manager, the borrower replacing the property manager with a qualified manager under a new management agreement within 60 days after such bankruptcy or insolvency action or (c) with respect to clause (iii) above, the achievement of a debt service coverage ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x based on the trailing three month period preceding the date of such determination as determined by the lender or the borrower posting cash or a letter of credit in an amount that if applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the loan would cause the outstanding principal amount of the loan to satisfy the aforementioned debt service coverage ratio (each of the foregoing (a) through (c), a (“Cash Sweep Event Cure”). Each Cash Sweep Event Cure is also subject to the following limitations: (1) there is no other event of default continuing under the loan documents; (2) a Cash Sweep Event Cure may occur no more than two times during the term of the loan (except with respect to clause (iii) above, for which an unlimited amount of cures are permitted); (3) the borrower pays all of the lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Cash Sweep Event Cure and (4) the borrower may not cure a Cash Sweep Event caused by a bankruptcy or insolvency action of the borrower.

(1)In 2015, the property underwent approximately $3,650,000 ($18,367 per room) of capital improvements, of which a majority was attributed to room renovations. As a result, the hotel lost approximately 15,992 available room nights, as each floor was taken offline for a period of time in order to complete the work. This resulted in approximately $374,000 in lost room revenue based on nights where the hotel was sold out and did not have full capacity due to the renovations.

(2)In November 2016, the property began charging a $20 per day resort fee. The resort fee includes access to the Après Ski program, the hotel’s game room, a courtesy shuttle to the lifts, ski valet and high speed internet.

(3)The Appraised Value / Per Room represents the “as-is market value based on a hypothetical condition” value of $35,600,000, which assumes a property improvement plan (“PIP”) costing approximately $4,200,000 was completed at the property as of May 1, 2017. At origination of the mortgage loan, the borrower deposited $4,187,000 for the required PIP. The “as-is” value as of May 1, 2017 is $31,000,000, which results in a Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV of 70.6% and 57.6%, respectively.

(4)Other Initial Escrows and Reserves represent a $4,187,000 PIP reserve and a $500,000 seasonality reserve, which was posted in the form of a letter of credit (“LOC”). The borrower will not be permitted to request any draws from the LOC and the borrower will self-fund any operating shortfalls. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the seasonality reserve will be terminated and the LOC released to the borrower, should the borrower deliver evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the lender that the property has generated monthly cash flows sufficient such that the DSCR for every month for two consecutive calendar years, as calculated by the lender, is equal to or greater than 1.00x. Furthermore, the LOC can be reduced based on the average of two consecutive calendar year financials evidencing such improvement. For example, if the shortfall at the end of the first calendar year is $300,000 and the shortfall at the end of the second calendar year is $200,000, the LOC may be reduced to $250,000.

The Loan. The Marriott Park City loan has an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $21.9 million and is secured by a first mortgage lien on the borrower’s fee simple interest in a 199-room full service hotel property located in Park City, Utah. The loan has a 10-year term and will amortize on a 30-year schedule.

 

The loan sponsors and nonrecourse carve-out guarantors are Driftwood Acquisition & Development L.P., Carlos J. Rodriguez and David Buddemeyer. Driftwood Hospitality (“Driftwood”), an entity related to Driftwood Acquisition & Development L.P., has assumed management of nearly 100 hotels since 1999. Driftwood operates 42 hotels containing more than 8,500 rooms throughout the United States, the Bahamas and Costa Rica, of which it owns 25 hotels totaling 5,300 rooms. Driftwood’s portfolio includes a number of brands that range from full-service hotels and resorts to mid-size select-service, extended stay and independent boutiques. Driftwood’s hotels include Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG and Wyndham flagged properties. Driftwood maintains a relationship with Marriott, as 12 hotels totaling more than approximately 2,100 rooms have been flagged with Marriott brands. Carlos J. Rodriguez and David Buddemeyer are principals at Driftwood.

 

The Property. The Marriott Park City property is a 199-room full service hotel located in Park City, Utah. The property was built in 1985 and most recently renovated in 2015. Park City is a year-round resort destination best known for two ski resorts: Park City Mountain Resort & Canyons Ski Resort (the largest ski resort in the United States and the second largest in North America) and Deer Valley Resort. The property consists of one four-story building with approximately 13,700 square feet of meeting and function space, an indoor restaurant, an indoor pool & spa, a business center, a fitness center, a game room, a lobby bar, a ski shop and a Starbuck’s café. Additionally, the property provides complimentary shuttle service to the Park City Mountain Resort & Canyons Ski Resort (approximately 1.3 miles) and the Deer Valley Resort (approximately 2.8 miles), as well as on-site ski and bike rentals through the Aloha Ski & Snowboard Rental shop that is located on the property.

 

According to the sponsor, since 2010, the previous owner conducted capital improvements with an approximate cost of $15,630,000 ($78,557 per room). Improvements have included a remodel of the restaurant, lobby bar and concierge lounge, and renovations of all guestrooms, all common areas, banquet and meeting rooms, the exterior façade and parking garage repairs. The guestrooms at the property consist of 53 king bedrooms, 139 double-queen bedrooms and seven king suites. Each room is equipped with a work desk, a 47-inch flat screen HDTV and wireless internet access. In connection with the borrower’s acquisition of the Marriott Park City property, the hotel is expected to be rebranded as a Sheraton by Marriott, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the franchise agreement, including the completion of a PIP. The borrower deposited $4,187,000 into a PIP reserve account at origination. The franchise agreement requires the PIP to be completed by June 2019. The PIP work is not anticipated to displace any revenue at the property.

(6)Other Department Revenue is comprised of cancellation fees, audio/visual rental income, gift shop sales and vending income. The decline in Other Departmental Revenue in 2015 is attributed to Vail Resorts’ acquisition of the Park City Resort that year. Upon the acquisition, Vail Resorts no longer permitted the property to sell and collect lift-ticket revenue. Likewise, the decline in Other Departmental Expenses is also attributed to the corresponding loss of lift-ticket sale expenses.

(1)The increase in 2016 NOI, TTM NOI and UW NOI from 2014 NOI and 2015 NOI is primarily due to the lease-up of Dick’s Sporting Goods (40,000 square feet constructed in 2015; $440,000 underwritten base rent), the lease-up of in-line space (20,200 square feet constructed in 2015; $437,800 underwritten base rent) and the lease-up of HomeGoods (22,404 square feet constructed in 2017; $220,679 underwritten base rent).
(2)The borrower is required to make monthly deposits for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions equal to $27,083 up to and including the payment date in July 2019, subject to a cap of $650,000. Beginning on the payment date in August 2019, the borrower is required to make monthly deposits for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions equal to $11,544, subject to a cap of $650,000. If an event occurs that would be a Key Tenant Trigger Event (as defined below) and the occupancy at the property is at least 75.0% excluding such applicable Key Tenant(s), no Trigger Event (as defined below) will be deemed to exist and the TI/LC cap will be increased to $1,500,000. During the continuance of a Key Tenant Trigger Event and the occupancy at the property is then less than 75.0% excluding such applicable Key Tenant(s) and the debt service coverage ratio at the property (based on the trailing 12 calendar months) is greater than 1.20x, the amount of excess cash flow to be swept into the Key Tenant reserve will be capped at $1,500,000 inclusive of the balance on deposit in the TI/LC reserve, except that, if the debt service coverage ratio at the property (based on the trailing 12 calendar months) falls below 1.20x, then no cap will be in effect with respect to the TI/LC reserve or the Key Tenant reserve. A “Trigger Event” means: (i) the occurrence of an event of default under the loan documents, (ii) the debt service coverage ratio as calculated in the loan documents based on a trailing 12-month period falling below 1.20x or (iii) a Key Tenant Trigger Event and less than 75.0% of total rentable space at the property is occupied by the related tenant. A “Key Tenant Trigger Event” means: (i) if a Key Tenant (a) fails to extend its lease at the property on terms reasonably acceptable to the lender on or before the date that is six months prior to lease expiration, (b) terminates its lease, assigns or subleases more than 25.0% of its related Key Tenant space, vacates more than 25.0% of its related Key Tenant space, goes into monetary default or material nonmonetary default under its lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, goes dark or gives notice of its intention to do either or (c) becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding. A “Key Tenant” means: (i) both Cinemark and Gordman’s, (ii) HomeGoods, (iii) Dick’s Sporting Goods and/or (iv) any tenant that replaces any of the Key Tenants and occupies at least 20,000 square feet of space previously occupied by a Key Tenant.

Appraised Value / Per Room, Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV are based on the “As Is PIP Complete” hypothetical value, which assumes the proposed PIP required by the franchise agreement has been completed. PIP improvements are expected to be completed in two phases in 2018 and 2020. At origination, the borrower was required to reserve $1,700,000 for the estimated cost of the PIP with an additional $11,667 to be deposited monthly during the first 12 months of the mortgage loan term. The “as-is” value as of May 1, 2017 is $26,800,000 which results in a Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV of 73.9% and 55.8%, respectively. 

(2)During the first 24 months of the mortgage loan term, the borrower will be required to deposit 2.0% of gross revenues into the FF&E reserve and, commencing on the 25th month of the mortgage loan term, the borrower will be required to deposit 4.0% of gross revenue into the FF&E reserve.

(3)

The borrower is required to deposit $66,000 in August of 2017 and $40,000 in September, October and December of 2017 into a seasonality reserve. Additionally, commencing in 2018, the borrower is required to deposit $81,000 each month in June and July of every year for the remaining loan term.

(4)

At origination, the borrower was required to reserve $1,700,000 for the estimated cost of the PIP with an additional $11,667 to be deposited monthly during the first 12 months of the mortgage loan term. During the first 24 months of the mortgage loan term, 1/12 of 2% of gross revenues will be deposited into the PIP reserve on a monthly basis. An estimated $2.18 million will be deposited into the PIP reserve by June 2019. The PIP will be completed in two phases, the first phase being completed in 2018 and the second phase being completed in 2020.

(5)An environmental maintenance reserve was escrowed at origination in the amount of $37,500 and the borrower is required to reserve an additional $1,401 monthly. The environmental maintenance reserve is held in connection with the property’s former use as a landfill and represents 125% of estimated costs over two years associated with environmental maintenance of the property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations” in the Prospectus for additional information.

Additional Debt. The $14.0 million mezzanine loan was provided by SMHF Cayman Hotel, LLC and is coterminous with the St. Luke’s Office Whole Loan. The mezzanine loan has a 11.85000% coupon and is interest-only for the full term of the loan. The combined Cut-off Date LTV, combined UW NCF DSCR and combined UW NOI Debt Yield are 70.7%, 1.12x and 9.3%, respectively. The mortgage and mezzanine lenders have entered into an intercreditor agreement which stipulated that a qualified transferee defined in the agreement must have assets of $600 million and capital/surplus or market capitalization of at least $250 million. As a condition of foreclosing on the mezzanine loan, the mezzanine lender must provide a replacement guarantor for the non-recourse carve-out obligations under the loan agreement with a net worth of $38.25 million and liquid assets of $5.0 million. The mezzanine lender is not subject to any standstill in pursuing claims against guarantors, but is required to turn over any collections if the Mortgage Loan is in default.

 

Partial Release. The borrower is permitted to release a certain approximately 9.5 acre outparcel specified in the loan documents from the lien of the mortgage upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the related loan documents. Such outparcel was not assigned any material value or considered a source of any material cash flow for purposes of determining the related Appraised Value or Underwritten Net Cash Flow, nor was it considered material to the use or operation of the property.

(1)The Apex Fort Washington loan is part of a whole loan evidenced by three pari passu notes with an aggregate original principal balance of $54.5 million. The Financial Information presented in the chart above reflects the Cut-off Date balance of the $54.5 million Apex Fort Washington Whole Loan as defined in “The Loan” below.
(2)The lockout period will be at least 28 payment dates beginning with and including the first payment date of April 6, 2017. Defeasance of the full $54.5 million Apex Fort Washington Whole Loan is permitted after the earlier to occur of (i) April 6, 2021 and (ii) the date that is two years from the closing date of the securitization that includes the note to be last securitized.
(3)Two new leases have been executed at the property. Veeva executed a 91 month, 13,279 square foot lease with an estimated commencement date of August 1, 2017 and Kellogg executed a 75 month, 8,527 square foot lease with an estimated commencement date of November 1, 2017. Additionally, Softerware, Inc. has executed a sublease with AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals for the 45,484 square feet space effective June 19, 2017. Including the two new tenants, occupancy at the Apex Fort Washington property is to 97.6%.
(4)2014 NOI figures are not available as the prior owner purchased the property in January 2015 and historical cash flows were not provided at the time of acquisition.
(5)The Apex Fort Washington property was purchased by the prior owner from a foreclosing lender in January 2015 for $30.2 million. The decrease in 2016 NOI from 2015 NOI is primarily due to two tenant vacancies in 2015 that led to a decline in occupancy at the property from approximately 79.2% to 42.0%. See “The Property” section below for additional information. The increases in UW NOI over 2016 NOI and TTM NOI reflect approximately 192,000 square feet of new leasing and the partial burn-off of free rent. In addition, UW NOI includes $95,041 in rent steps underwritten through September 2017 and $87,020 in straight-line rent for Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and Allstate Insurance Company. UW NOI also includes approximately $3.8 million in underwritten rent for four tenants, Lincoln Investment Planning, Impax Laboratories, Inc., Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and Connexin Software, Inc., representing approximately 41.1% of net rentable area and approximately 45.8% of underwritten base rent, which have not yet taken occupancy and/or are in free rent periods for which reserves were taken at closing.
(6)The Appraised Value / Per SF, Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV are calculated based on the “Prospective Value Upon Stabilization” value, with an anticipated date of January 1, 2018, which assumes the burn-off of approximately $4.5 million of lease-up costs (including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, free rent, rent loss, and expense carry) associated with tenants already in place and which have been reserved at loan closing, and also includes the appraisal’s projections of property cash flows as of such date. The “as-is” value as of December 5, 2016 is $78.8 million, which results in a Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV of 69.2% and 60.3%, respectively.

The Apex Fort Washington property was previously encumbered by two cross-collateralized/cross-defaulted loans totaling $49.0 million that were securitized as part of the GMAC 2004-C1 securitization. The loans transferred to special servicing in March 2010 after a major tenant vacated the property and the trust subsequently foreclosed on the property in March 2011. The prior owner acquired the property from the trust in January 2015 for $30.2 million, at which time the occupancy at the property was approximately 79.2%. At the time of the prior acquisition, two tenants had given notice of their intention to vacate and occupancy was expected to decline to 42.0%. After the 2015 acquisition, the prior owner invested approximately $17.0 million in interior renovations and common area upgrades, and executed six new leases with six new tenants totaling approximately 192,000 square feet and approximately $4.47 million of base rent. Upon completion of the capital improvements and renovation and lease-up of the property to 91.9% occupancy, the prior owner sold the property to the current loan sponsor for approximately $74.1 million (after adjustments).

(1)2014 Net Operating Income figures are not available as the prior owner purchased the property in January 2015 and historical cash flows were not provided at the time of acquisition.

(2)TTM Column represents the trailing 12-month period ending May 31, 2017.

(3)% column represents percent of Net Rental Income for all revenue lines and represents percent of Effective Gross Income for the remainder of fields.

(4)Underwritten Rents in Place is inclusive of $95,041 in rent steps underwritten through September 2017 and straight-line rent of $87,020. Underwritten Rents in Place includes approximately $1.0 million in rent for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, which is currently subleasing its space to Softerware, Inc. Underwritten Rents in Place also includes $3,767,474 in underwritten rent for four tenants, Lincoln Investment Planning, Impax Laboratories, Inc., Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania and Connexin Software, Inc., representing approximately 41.1% of net rentable area and approximately 45.8% of underwritten base rent, which are not in occupancy and/or are in free rent periods.

(5)The decrease in 2016 Net Operating Income from 2015 Net Operating Income is primarily due to two tenant vacancies in 2015. The property was approximately 79.0% occupied at the time of the sale to the prior owner. Following the sale, the occupancy declined to 42.0% as a result of the two tenants vacating. The prior owner purchased the property from a prior foreclosing lender for $30.2 million in January 2015 as described above under “The Property”; since acquiring the property, the prior owner executed six new leases to six tenants totaling approximately 192,000 square feet and approximately $4.47 million of base rent. The increases in Underwritten Net Operating Income over 2016 and TTM Net Operating Income reflect the new leasing and the partial burn-off of free rent, as well as the rent steps and straight-lined rent identified in footnote (4) above.

(6)Historical Occupancies are as of December 31 of each respective year. TTM Occupancy is as of April 30, 2017. Underwritten Occupancy represents economic occupancy. Occupancy includes AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, which is currently subleasing its space to Softerware, Inc..

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

 
     
  (2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.  
     
  (3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document. The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.
Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

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

ANNEX D-1

 

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Each mortgage loan seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, represents and warrants generally to the effect set forth below, as of the Closing Date, or as of such other date specifically provided in the applicable representation and warranty, subject to exceptions set forth in Annex D-2 to this prospectus. Prior to the execution of the related final MLPA, there may be additions, subtractions or other modifications to the representations, warranties and exceptions. These representations, warranties and exceptions should not be read alone, but should only be read in conjunction with the prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Annex D-1 will have the meanings set forth in this prospectus or, if not defined in this prospectus, in the related MLPA.

 

Each MLPA, together with the related representations and warranties (subject to the exceptions thereto), serves to contractually allocate risk between the mortgage loan seller, on the one hand, and the issuing entity, on the other. The representations and warranties are not intended to be disclosure statements regarding the characteristics of the related mortgage loans, Mortgaged Properties or other subjects discussed therein, but rather are intended as a risk allocation mechanism. We cannot assure you that the mortgage loans actually conform to the statements made in the representations and warranties that are presented below. The representations, warranties and exceptions have been provided to you for informational purposes only and prospective investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and exceptions as a basis for any investment decision. For disclosure regarding the characteristics, risks and other information regarding the mortgage loans, mortgaged properties and the certificates, you should read and rely solely on the prospectus. None of the depositor or the underwriters or their respective affiliates makes any representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of the representations, warranties and exceptions.

 

(1)       Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the PSA and/or MLPA.

 

(2)       Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not an interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation (other than with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain agreement to appointment of Master Servicer, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain agreement to appointment of Master Servicer, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller). The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain agreement to appointment of Master Servicer, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller).

 

D-1-1

 

 

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

 

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

 

(4)       Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

 

(5)       Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the issuing entity against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

 

(6)       Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. The material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect since July 7, 2017.

 

(7)       Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) to the issuing entity (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the securitization trust relating to the controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan) constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment to the issuing entity (or, with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the securitization trust relating to the controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan). Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged

 

D-1-2

 

 

Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain agreement to appointment of Master Servicer, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller).

 

(8)       Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property which the Mortgage Loan documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

 

(9)       Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens

 

D-1-3

 

 

encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

 

(10)     Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

 

(11)     Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

 

(12)     Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

 

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

 

(13)     Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or

 

D-1-4

 

 

charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

 

(14)     Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(15)     Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(16)     Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

(17)     No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property).

 

(18)     Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all-risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-“ from S&P Global Ratings (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

 

D-1-5

 

 

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (i) covers a period beginning on the date of loss and continuing until the earlier to occur of restoration of the Mortgaged Property or the expiration of 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained (or in certain cases, an amount sufficient to cover the period set forth in (i) above) during restoration.

 

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as-is generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

 

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

 

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

 

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML or equivalent would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-“ by S&P Global Ratings in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

 

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

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

D-1-6

 

 

(19)     Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

 

(20)     No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, or are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, or are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

 

(21)     No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(22)     REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

(23)     Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the

 

D-1-7

 

 

Mortgage Loan Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

(24)     Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan.

 

(25)     Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

 

(26)     Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

 

(27)     Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

(28)     Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or

 

D-1-8

 

 

any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste or acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

 

(29)     Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance defined in paragraph (34) below, (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (reduced for any lien senior to, and any lien in parity with, the lien of the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions and, to such extent, such amount may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced for any lien senior to, and any lien in parity with, the lien of the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC provisions.

 

D-1-9

 

 

(30)     Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements (i) with respect to each Mortgage Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage.

 

(31)     Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms.

 

(32)     Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, such as transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling equity interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 in this Annex D-1, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any companion interest of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

 

(33)     Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with

 

D-1-10

 

 

a Cut-off Date Balance of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

(34)     Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on (x) the maturity date or (y) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in (iii) above, (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

 

(35)     Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in situations where default interest is imposed.

 

(36)     Ground Leases. For purposes of the MLPA, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the ground lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns:

 

(A)       The ground lease or a memorandum regarding such ground lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The ground lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, no material

 

D-1-11

 

 

change in the terms of the ground lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

 

(B)       The lessor under such ground lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such ground lease) that the ground lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

 

(C)       The ground lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

 

(D)       The ground lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

(E)       The ground lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the mortgagee and the ground lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

(F)       The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such ground lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such ground lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such ground lease. Such ground lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

 

(G)       The ground lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

 

(H)       A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the ground lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the ground lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the ground lease;

 

(I)       The ground lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

 

(J)       Under the terms of the ground lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

 

(K)       In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the ground lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a

 

D-1-12

 

 

total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

 

(L)       Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the ground lease for any reason, including rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

(37)     Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller in respect of each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with Mortgage Loan Seller’s customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.

 

(38)     Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. The Mortgage Loan Seller has obtained a rent roll (each, a “Certified Rent Roll”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan Seller has obtained operating histories (the “Certified Operating Histories”) with respect to each Mortgaged Property certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan. The Certified Operating Histories collectively report on operations for a period equal to (a) at least a continuous three-year period or (b) in the event the Mortgaged Property was owned, operated or constructed by the Mortgagor or an affiliate for less than three years then for such shorter period of time, it being understood that for mortgaged properties acquired with the proceeds of a Mortgage Loan, Certified Operating Histories may not have been available.

 

(39)     No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in Exhibit C to the MLPA. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

(40)     Bankruptcy. In respect of each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding.

 

(41)     Organization of Mortgagor. The Mortgage Loan Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) (the “Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 25% or greater direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). The Mortgage Loan Seller (1) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history for the last 10 years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history for the last 10 years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that records searches were limited to the last 10 years (clauses (1) and (2) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

 

D-1-13

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by environmental laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Mortgaged Property, except as disclosed by a Phase I environmental assessment (or a Phase II environmental assessment, if applicable) delivered in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan or except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all environmental laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with environmental laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) 125% of the funds reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint, or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the Cut-off Date, and, as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as administratively “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings and/or Fitch Ratings, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor with assets reasonably estimated to be adequate to effect all necessary remediation was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor with assets reasonably estimated to be adequate to effect all necessary remediation was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) need for further investigation.

 

In the case of each Mortgage Loan set forth on Schedule I to the MLPA, (i) such Mortgage Loan is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer set forth on Schedule I to the MLPA (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (ii) as of the Cut-off Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and the trustee is a named insured under such policy, (iii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (b) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Mortgage Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by the Mortgage Loan Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the Mortgage Loan documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the

With respect to each Mortgage Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, the Mortgage Loan Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on the related estoppel certificate, the related lease is in full force and effect or if not in full force and effect, the related space was underwritten as vacant, subject to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as, without limitation, with respect to common area maintenance (“CAM”) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Mortgage Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, the Mortgage Loan Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Mortgage Loan that is represented on the Certified Rent Roll. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, each lease represented on the Certified Rent Roll is in full force and effect, subject to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

15 Main Street Court (Loan No. 28) (Actions Concerning Mortgage Loans) – The Mortgagor and guarantors, Lisa Ward and Stephen Mottola, are the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Glenn Schmalhofer, the former 1/3 interest holder in the Mortgagor. The litigation involves a breach of a settlement contract governing the buy-out of Mr. Schmalhofer’s 1/3 interest in the Mortgagor. The Delaware Court of Chancery ruled that Mr. Schmalhofer breached the settlement agreement when he failed to hire a third-party appraiser to value his 1/3 interest, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement.

The leasehold mortgagee is entitled to a new lease only in the event of a rejection of the ground lease in bankruptcy. As to any other termination of the ground lease, the lender is not entitled to a new lease. However, the lender is entitled to notice and cure rights, and the ground lessor has agreed that it will not terminate the ground lease without first having given the lender notice and opportunity to cure any defaults in accordance with the ground lease and estoppel.

43 Treeview Industrial Portfolio (Loan No. 3)

(Environmental Conditions) – The ESA obtained at origination for the Sabre Street Mortgaged Property identified off-site sources as potential groundwater and vapor encroachment concerns which could potentially impact the Mortgaged Property, which include a former army airfield. The ESA indicates that plans for additional investigation and remedial action through anticipated closure certification are slated for 2018 – 2022. In addition, the ESA noted that an adjacent property that was formerly operated as a truck facility is listed on a state database for a historic release of solvents that has not yet been fully assessed.

 

According to the ESA, responsible parties have been identified and would be responsible for any remedial action. Based on the configuration of the Mortgaged Property, the ESA concluded that vapor intrusion would not be an issue with the warehouse portion of Mortgaged Property due to the ventilation with the loading dock doors, but that the office area could pose a concern. If vapor intrusion is determined to be a concern for the office area, the ESA recommended that the concern be addressed through the installation of a sub slab depressurization system for an estimated cost of approximately $30,000. The Mortgagor was not required at origination to reserve any funds for the installation of a sub slab depressurization system.
