(ii)           against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Depositor or as otherwise contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof; and
 
(iii)          against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Underwriter), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that the indemnity provided by this Section 8(a) shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information furnished to the Depositor by any Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
 
(b)           Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement,
 
 
- 25 -

 
 
and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 8(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions (when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information), made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Depositor by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) (collectively, “Underwriter Information”); provided that no such material misstatement or omission arises from an error or omission in information relating to the underlying data regarding the Mortgage Loans or the related Borrowers or Mortgaged Properties provided by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter.  In addition, each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses as incurred arising out of any (i) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in the Underwriter Information, and (ii) untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact, or omissions or alleged omissions to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus or that arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus a material fact in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (A) to the extent the Depositor is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the indemnity of any Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (B) with respect to information that is also contained in the Time of Sale Information, or (C) to the extent such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to an Underwriter which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller to such Underwriter at any time prior to the Time of Sale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence will apply only if such misstatement or omission was not also a misstatement or omission in the Prospectus.  Furthermore, no Underwriter shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless the Depositor or any other person or entity otherwise entitled to such indemnification or to be held harmless under this subsection (b) for any Liability that is based upon or arises from the information set forth in the tenth paragraph under the caption “Method of Distribution (Underwriter Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) to the extent that both (1) such information in based upon and is in conformity with the information set forth in the Prospectus Supplement (or such amendment or supplement thereto) that is not Underwriter Information and (2) such non-Underwriter Information either contains an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
 
 
- 26 -

 
 
omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or fails to comply with Regulation AB.
 
It is hereby acknowledged that (i) the statements set forth in the first sentence of the [penultimate] paragraph on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement and (ii) [the statements in the second and third sentences of the second paragraph and the fourth, eighth, tenth and sixteenth paragraphs under the caption “Method of Distribution (Underwriter Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus Supplement], constitute the only written information furnished to the Depositor by the Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Base Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information, or the Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment or supplement thereto.
 
(c)           Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) or any liability that it may have, otherwise than on account of the indemnity provided by this Section 8.  Upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding as incurred.  An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action, with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, within a reasonable period following the indemnifying party’s receiving notice of such action, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (or, in the event the Depositor or Wells Fargo Bank is the indemnifying party, one counsel for each Underwriter) (in addition to any local counsel) separate from its or their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.  Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel or any other expenses for which the
 
 
- 27 -

 
 
indemnifying party is obligated under this subsection, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party or, if such settlement provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement, which release does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party without the consent of the indemnified party.
 
(d)          The indemnity provided by this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten Certificates.
 
The indemnity provided by this Section 8 will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter, the Depositor or Wells Fargo Bank may otherwise have.
 
 
9.
Contribution.
 
(a)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, or if such indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is insufficient in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to therein, the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank, jointly and severally, and the Underwriters, severally, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by the indemnity provided by Section 8 hereof incurred by the Depositor and the Underwriters, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Underwritten Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations (taking into account the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission or failure to comply, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances).  The relative benefits received by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective portions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Underwritten Certificates and the total underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees received by the Underwriters in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Underwritten Certificates.  The
 
 
- 28 -

 
 
relative fault of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank on the one hand and of each Underwriter on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank or by the Underwriters, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and no Underwriter shall be obligated to contribute more than its share of underwriting discounts and commissions and other fees pertaining to the Underwritten Certificates less any damages otherwise paid by such Underwriter with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense.  It is hereby acknowledged that the respective Underwriters’ obligations under this Section 9 shall be several and not joint.  For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and such Underwriter’s officers and directors, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Depositor, each officer of the Depositor who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Depositor.
 
(b)          The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the considerations referred to in subsection (a) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims or damages referred to in Section 8 hereof or this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal fees and disbursements or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such claim except where the indemnified party is required to bear such expenses, which expenses the indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the indemnified party, to the extent that it is reasonable to believe that the indemnifying party will be ultimately obligated to pay such expenses.  In the event that any expenses so paid by the indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment.  The remedies provided for in Section 8 hereof and this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
 
(c)          The contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, the Underwriters, any of their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or the Underwriters, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Underwritten Certificates.
 
 
10.
Default by an Underwriter.
 
If one Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Underwritten Certificates agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the other
 
 
- 29 -

 
 
Underwriter shall be obligated to purchase the Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase; provided, that no Underwriter shall be obligated under this Section 10 to purchase Certificates of a Class that it is not otherwise obligated to purchase under this Agreement, and provided, however, that in the event that the amount of Underwritten Certificates that the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Certificates set forth in Schedule I hereto, the other Underwriter shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Underwritten Certificates, and if such non-defaulting Underwriter does not purchase all of the Underwritten Certificates, this Agreement will terminate without liability to the non-defaulting Underwriter or the Depositor, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12 hereof.  In the event of a default by either Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date for the Underwritten Certificates shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding ten business days, as you shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Depositor and any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.
 
 
11.
Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
 
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, or by or on behalf of the Depositor and Wells Fargo Bank, or by or on behalf of any of the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and shall survive delivery of the Underwritten Certificates to the Underwriters.
 
 
12.

(a)          The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under this Agreement, by notice to the Depositor, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date (i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank or any other Mortgage Loan Seller whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of any Underwriter, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Underwritten Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Certificates, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Depositor or of Wells Fargo Bank has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the over the counter market has been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either federal or New York authorities, or (v) if a material disruption in securities settlement, payments or clearance
 
 
- 30 -

 
 
services in the United States or other relevant jurisdiction shall have occurred and be continuing on the Closing Date, or the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriter, impractical to market the Underwritten Certificates or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Underwritten Certificates.
 
(b)          If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 11 or Section 12(c) hereof.
 
(c)          The provisions of Section 5(e) hereof regarding the payment of costs and expenses and the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is pursuant to this Section 12 or otherwise.

portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to the Custodian and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim.  The Custodian declares that it holds and will hold such documents and any other documents received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold the Original Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other Mortgage Loans and assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest).  To the extent that the Mortgage File relates to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).  The Master Servicer acknowledges receipt of all of the original Letters of Credit relating to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination delivered to it (copies of which are part of the Mortgage File) and agrees to hold such Letters of Credit in trust for the benefit of the Trustee.  In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter that, as to each Mortgage Loan, except as specifically identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery attached hereto as Schedule II, (i) all documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Mortgage Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit and indemnity, the copy of such Mortgage Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.  The Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.
 
(b)           On or about the 75th day following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 1.04, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify in writing (and, if any exceptions are noted or if the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has not been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation/filing), the Custodian shall deliver updates to any exception list attached to such certification in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (which exception list shall also be delivered in Excel-compatible format)) to each of the other parties hereto (substantially in the form of Exhibit M), the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (in each case, provided that the Custodian has received notice of the identity of and notice address information for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative that, as to each Original Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification):  (i) the original Mortgage Note specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and all allonges thereto, if any (or a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit and indemnity) and, except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the original or copy of documents specified in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if
 
 
-124-

 
 
the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it; (ii) if such report is due more than 180 days after the Closing Date, the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents or an appropriate receipt of recording/filing therefor); (iii) all documents received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clause (iv)(A) and clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the related Mortgage File.  Every ninety (90) days after such 75th day following the Closing Date, until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and such recordation/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage Loans are removed from the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall deliver electronically (including in Excel-compatible format) to each of the other parties hereto, to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative an update to the exception report annexed to the certification described above substantially in the form of Exhibit M, which update shall report any remaining outstanding exceptions with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan.  Such delivery shall be deemed to constitute a certification of the substance of the matters set forth in the form of such Exhibit M (except as set forth in such exception report).  The Master Servicer shall provide the contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator to the extent not previously provided thereto, provided that the Master Servicer has such information.  The contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of each initial Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is set forth on Schedule IX hereto.
 
(c)           If a Responsible Repurchase Party substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan for any Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.03, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall deliver a certification comparable to that described in the prior paragraph, in respect of such Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or about the 30th day following the related date of substitution (and, if any exceptions are noted, every ninety (90) days thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and all related recording/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which such Replacement Mortgage Loan is removed from the Trust Fund).
 
With respect to the documents described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) delivered in this Section 2.02(c) or to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan includes a separate Assignment of Leases.
 
With respect to the documents described in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing
 
 
-125-

 
 
Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02(c), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan should include a copy of one state-level UCC Financing Statement filed in the state of incorporation or organization of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Borrowers, for each related Borrower).  To the extent appropriate under applicable law, the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trustee will be delivered on the new national forms and in recordable form and will be filed in the state of incorporation or organization as so indicated on the documents provided.
 
(d)           None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor is under any duty or obligation to (i) determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (xi) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers in respect of any Mortgage Loan unless such item(s) are specified on the related Mortgage File Checklist, or (ii) inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.  Furthermore, except as expressly provided in Section 2.01(e), none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.
 
(e)           In performing the reviews contemplated by subsections (a) and (b) above, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the related Mortgage Loan Seller as to the purported genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon.  It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) (except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by subsections (a) and (b) above.
 
Section 2.03     Certain Repurchases and Substitutions of Mortgage Loans by the Responsible Repurchase Parties.
 
(a)           If, in the process of reviewing the documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers as contemplated by Section 2.01(d), the Custodian discovers that any document required to have been delivered as contemplated by Section 2.01(d) has not been so delivered, or discovers that any of the documents that were delivered has not
 
 
-126-

 
 
been properly executed, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or is defective on its face (each, including, without limitation, that a document is missing, a “Document Defect”), or if, at any other time, the Custodian or any other party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) a Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such Document Defect shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto.  If any party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) or receives notice of a breach of any representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan set forth in or made pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(g) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a “Breach”), such party shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto.  Upon the Trustee’s discovery or receipt of notice that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Rating Agencies.
 
(b)           Promptly upon its actual knowledge of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan or its receipt of notice from the Trustee or any other party to this Agreement of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall notify the related Responsible Repurchase Party in writing (in each case, with a copy to the Depositor) of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, and direct such Responsible Repurchase Party that it must, not later than (1) ninety (90) days from discovery of the subject Material Document Defect or Material Breach by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or (2) ninety (90) days from the receipt by such Responsible Repurchase Party of such notice (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, and (y) such Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) within ninety (90) days after any earlier discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to this Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (as, if and to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that if such Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, that (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially
 
 
-127-

 
 
Serviced Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 not less than ninety (90) days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”) (a copy of which certification shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Rating Agencies), then such Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, for the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC Pool that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of such Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when such deposit is made.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates such absence, nonconformity or irregularity) shall (if the absence results from the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the party discovering such absence to give the Trustee prompt notice, whereupon the Trustee shall notify the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party (with a copy to the Depositor) to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth, and to the extent permitted, herein and in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), in the event of any Breach described in the second paragraph of Section 5(d) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the remedy described in such second paragraph of such Section 5(d) shall constitute the sole remedy
 
 
-128-

 
 
available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to such Breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any obligation to review or approve any condition or requirement contemplated hereunder in connection with any repurchase, removal, addition, or substitution.
 
The remedies provided for in this Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)         the related Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(b) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event hereunder; and
 
(B)         each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(I)          the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(II)         the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex
 
 
-129-

 
 
A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(III)       the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Responsible Repurchase Party to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (II) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or Letters of Credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Trustee shall execute (or, subject to Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.10, provide the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with a limited power of attorney that enables the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that
 
 
-130-

 
 
complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.  The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.  Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively.
 
The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of Basis, from Basis Investment).
 
(c)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct the party effecting the substitution to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan”.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the party effecting the related substitution promptly following receipt.
 
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced by a Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct such party to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s); and, upon its receipt of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto.  Upon any substitution of one
 
 
-131-

 
 
or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
 
The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of Basis, from Basis Investment).
 
(d)           Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced by the related Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03 has been deposited in the Collection Account, and further, if applicable, upon receipt of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered by the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party, the Trustee and the Custodian shall each (i) release the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral held by it or on its behalf for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and the affected Borrowers of the transfers of the Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) and any Replacement Mortgage Loan(s).  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the related Responsible Repurchase Party, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of such Responsible Repurchase Party.  The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of Basis, from Basis Investment), shall be reimbursable to each of them as Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.
 
(e)           The related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on their behalf, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  If, in connection with any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the related Responsible Repurchase Party defaults on its obligations to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach and fails to deliver a Loss of Value Payment as provided in Section 2.03(h), as the case may be, in all material respects or to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03, then the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and
 
 
-132-

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, such party shall forward such Repurchase Communication as soon as possible and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Repurchase Communication to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall include the following statement in the related correspondence:  “This is a Repurchase Communication of a [“Repurchase Request”] [“Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [“Repurchase”] [“Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the WFCM 2015-C27 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” of such Repurchase Communication thereunder”.  Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph of this Section 2.03(g) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.  In no event shall this provision require the Custodian (in its capacity as Custodian) in connection with its review of a Mortgage File to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall accept any oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, and each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall direct any Person making an oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to submit it in writing (or by means of electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06) to the Certificate Administrator (who will act in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph).  Repurchase Communications of Repurchase Requests made to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or may be transmitted by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06 with a subject line of “Repurchase Request – WFCM 2015-C27”.
 
The parties hereto agree that delivery of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach or knowledge on the part of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.
 
(h)           If a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party), in connection with a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan,

(a)           It is the intention of the parties hereto that the following segregated pool of assets constitute a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as “REMIC I”:  (i) the Mortgage Loans that are from time to time subject to this Agreement, together with (A) all payments under and proceeds of such Mortgage Loans received after the Closing Date (other than any Post-ARD Additional Interest) or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, after the related date of substitution (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before the respective Cut-off Dates for such Mortgage Loans or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution, and exclusive of
 
 
-146-

 
 
any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees), and (B) all rights of the holder of such Mortgage Loans under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and in and to any related Additional Collateral; (ii) any REO Property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in such REO Property); (iii) such funds and assets as from time to time are deposited in the Collection Account (but not in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account), the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and, if established (but, in the case of any such account established with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, subject to the rights of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders), the REO Account (exclusive of any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees) and (iv) the rights of the Depositor under Sections 2, 3, 4 (other than Section 4(c), (d) and (f)) and 5 (other than Section 5(f), (g), (h) and (i)) (and, to the extent related to the foregoing, Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and (in the case of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement between Basis and the Depositor) 19) of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(b)           Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the Original Mortgage Loans and certain related assets, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and in exchange therefor, the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall be issued.  A single separate REMIC I Regular Interest shall be issued with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan.  For purposes of this Agreement each REMIC I Regular Interest shall relate to the Original Mortgage Loan in respect of which it was issued, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) substituted for such Original Mortgage Loan and to each REO Mortgage Loan deemed outstanding with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of such Original Mortgage Loan or any such Replacement Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in any related REO Property).  None of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be certificated.  The REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC I.
 
(c)           The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC I (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).
 
(d)           The designation for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the identification number for the related Original Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
 
(e)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest  shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance.  As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall equal the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the related Original Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule).  On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be (1) permanently reduced by any
 
 
-147-

 
 
distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(h) and (2) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(c).  Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced.  Deemed distributions to REMIC II in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC I Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest.
 
(f)            The per annum rate at which each REMIC I Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC I Remittance Rate”.  The REMIC I Remittance Rate in respect of any particular REMIC I Regular Interest, for any Interest Accrual Period, shall equal:  (A) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, a 30/360 Mortgage Loan, the related Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Original Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower) and (B) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, an Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the product of 12 times the Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period.
 
The “Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount” with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest referred to in clause (B) of the second sentence of the prior paragraph, for any Interest Accrual Period, is an amount of interest equal to the product of (a) the Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is 360, multiplied by (c) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period; provided that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during (x) December of any year that does not immediately precede a leap year or (y) January of any year, then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be decreased by the Interest Reserve Amount, if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.04(c), from the Distribution Account to the
 
 
-148-

 
 
Interest Reserve Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period; and provided, further, that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during February of any year (or during any December or January preceding the month of the Final Distribution Date), then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be increased by the Interest Reserve Amount(s), if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.05(c), from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period.  .
 
(g)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall bear interest.  Such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, such interest shall accrue at the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.  The total amount of interest accrued with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest during each Interest Accrual Period is referred to herein as its “Uncertificated Accrued Interest” for such Interest Accrual Period.  The portion of the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(h), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the “Uncertificated Distributable Interest” with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC I Regular Interest.  For purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective amounts of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period.  If the entire Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(h), then the unpaid portion of such Uncertificated Distributable Interest shall be distributable with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates as provided in such Section 4.01(h).
 
(h)           Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.
 
(i)            The REMIC I Residual Interest will not have a principal balance and will not bear interest.

-156-

 
 
Special Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans.  No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, to the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery made in its reasonable and good faith judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder at any time is less than the amount reflected in such determination.  Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all related Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (other than Corrected Mortgage Loans) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred, and (y) each Administered REO Property; provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to (A) make P&I Advances required hereunder with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each related successor REO Mortgage Loan in respect thereof, (B) make Servicing Advances required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and related REO Mortgage Loans), (C) receive payments, collect information and deliver reports to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and the related REO Mortgage Loans), and (D) render such incidental services with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as and to the extent as may be specifically provided for herein.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of any collections on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall within one Business Day thereafter notify the Master Servicer with instructions on how to apply such collections and the Master Servicer shall apply such collections in accordance with such instructions within one Business Day following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such notice.
 
(b)           Subject to Section 3.01(a) and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.22, through Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement) and the Special Servicer (with respect to (x) Special Servicer Decisions and Material Actions on the Serviced Mortgage Loans that both are (1) Non-WFB Mortgage Loans and (2) required to be serviced and administered by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, and (y) the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement), in its own name or in the name of the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee (and in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination is, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, authorized by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (and in the

case of any Serviced Loan Combination), the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, or any of them:  (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and other related collateral; (ii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of partial or full defeasance, and all other comparable instruments; and (iii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.20 and 3.24) any and all assumptions, modifications, waivers, substitutions, extensions, amendments, consents to transfers of interests in Borrowers, consents to any subordinate financings to be secured by any related Mortgaged Property, consents to any mezzanine financing to be secured by ownership interests in a Borrower, consents to and monitoring of the application of any proceeds of insurance policies or condemnation awards to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise, consents to other matters that pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents require the consent of the holder of the Mortgage, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing and marketing of the related Mortgaged Properties (including agreements and requests by any Borrower with respect to modifications of the standards of operation and management of the Mortgaged Properties or the replacement of asset managers), documents exercising any or all of the rights, powers and privileges granted or provided to the holder of any Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, lease subordination agreements, non-disturbance and attornment agreements or other leasing or rental arrangements that may be requested by any Borrower or its tenants, documents granting, modifying or releasing (or joining the Borrower therein) any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, equitable servitudes, or land use or zoning requirements with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, instruments relating to the custody of any collateral that now secures or hereafter may secure any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any other consents.  Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (each of which shall be prepared by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a power of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable).  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent:  (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; provided, however, that in those jurisdictions in which the foregoing requirement would not be legally or procedurally permissible, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or provide such prior notice as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine in its reasonable judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be
 
 
-158-

 
 
reasonably practicable prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding) (and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s written consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity); or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall indemnify (out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
 
(c)           The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement, shall service and administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan as and when necessary and appropriate consistent with the Servicing Standard and applicable law and in accordance with this Agreement.
 
(d)           The relationship of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee and, unless they are the same Person, one another under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s authority with respect to the Non-Serviced Loan Combinations and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreements and the rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the Non-Trust Trustee under the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Master Servicer shall, to the extent directed and instructed as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)            Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Borrower as though the Master Servicer or Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.
 
(g)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” under the Intercreditor Agreements for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the making of payments to the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” in accordance with each such Intercreditor Agreement
 
 
-159-

 
 
and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement(s) for each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property, each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property are to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Although each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is not a Serviced Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer hereunder for each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.  The Special Servicer shall have no obligations under this Agreement for servicing any Non-Serviced Loan Combinations or related REO Property.
 
With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement shall have no obligation or authority to supervise respective parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (but this statement shall not relieve them of liabilities they may otherwise have in their capacities as parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or to make Servicing Advances with respect to any such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.  If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative, and the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account.  Except as otherwise expressly addressed in Section 3.20, if a party to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan requests the Trustee to consent to a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Master Servicer to be addressed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20(g); provided that, if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Master Servicer shall not grant such direction without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account).  If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of a “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) the Trustee shall notify (in writing), and direct the Master Servicer to act in accordance with the instructions of, the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that, during a Senior Consultation Period, or if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, then the Trustee shall direct the Master Servicer to take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights (such direction communicated to the Master Servicer by the Trustee) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is
 
 
-160-

 
 
afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trustee receives a request from any party to a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee shall not grant such consent or approval unless it receives the consent of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) and a Rating Agency Confirmation (at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account) from each Rating Agency to the effect that such consent or approval would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates.  During the continuation of any “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense.  The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with each Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the other such parties, the Depositor and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies if the related Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Non-Trust Master Servicer or the related Non-Trust Special Servicer.
 
(h)           With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
 
(i)            the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (and advance interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees”, “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (each, as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and that if the funds received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination are insufficient to cover “Servicing Advances” or “Additional Trust
 
 
-161-

 
 
Fund Expenses” (each as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), (i) the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, may be paid by the Master Servicer to the Non-Trust Master Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable), out of general collections in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”, and (ii) if the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee to reimburse itself from the related trust’s general collections, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the related trust out of general collections in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”;
 
(ii)           each of the Indemnified Parties (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in such trust pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) by the Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account” (as such term or other similar term is defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account;
 
(iii)           the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Non-Trust Trustee, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer and the Non-Trust Trust Advisor (with a copy to be sent to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer) (A) promptly following the Closing Date, written notice in the form of Exhibit U attached hereto, stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the

Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Intercreditor Agreement), and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer; and
 
(iv)         the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.01(h).
 
(i)           In the event that any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be serviced and administered under this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer until a successor servicing agreement, acceptable to the parties thereto, is entered into with the consent of the holder of such Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that, as of the time such Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced for the benefit of the holders of such Serviced Loan Combination as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered hereunder, and the sole source of funds hereunder (other than with respect to the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances made while such Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund) and that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make P&I Advances.  The Master Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Liquidation Fee and/or the Workout Fee with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be calculated based on the entire principal amount of such Serviced Loan Combination.  All amounts due the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (including Advances and interest thereon) pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following removal of the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and any related Master Servicer Remittance Date thereafter.  In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination and any related REO Property has been entered into, notwithstanding that neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold the Mortgage File.
 
Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.  (a)  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan it is obligated to service hereunder (including, without limitation, all Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and other fees and compensation payable to the Master Servicer and to the Special Servicer to the extent the Borrower is obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents); and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection), and the Special Servicer may do so only if (A) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (B) either (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Mortgage

Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Post-ARD Additional Interest; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.  Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may grant case-by-case waivers of Default Charges in connection with a late payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(b)           At least ninety (90) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date of each Balloon Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a notice to the related Borrower of such maturity date (with a copy to be sent to the Special Servicer) and shall request confirmation that the Balloon Payment will be paid by such maturity date.
 
(c)           With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from a Non-Trust Master Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and the related Non-Trust Trustee.
 
Section 3.03     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts.  (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (“Servicing Accounts”), in which all Escrow Payments received by it with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds.  Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Escrow Payments shall be held, each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account.  As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Servicing Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Escrow Payments held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows:  (i) to effect the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including, premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged Property; (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clause (i); (iii) to refund to the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) to pay interest or other income, if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the related Servicing Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower to pay such interest or other

(b)           The Master Servicer shall as to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan):  (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date.  For purposes of effecting any such payment with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that if such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan does not require the related Borrower to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer (or, if such Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall, subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that the related Borrower make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due.
 
(c)           In accordance with the Servicing Standard, but subject to Section 3.11(h), the Master Servicer, with respect to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies (including, premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), in each instance prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each instance if and to the extent that (x) Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Borrower are insufficient to pay such item when due, and (y) the related
 
 
-165-

 
 
Borrower has failed to pay such item on a timely basis; provided that, in the case of amounts described in the preceding clause (i), the Master Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance of any such amount if the Master Servicer reasonably anticipates (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such amounts will be paid by the related Borrower on or before the applicable penalty date, in which case the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to confirm whether such amounts have been paid and, subject to Section 3.11(h), shall make a Servicing Advance of such amounts, if necessary, not later than five (5) Business Days following confirmation by the Master Servicer that such amounts have not been paid by the applicable penalty date.  All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Borrowers and further as provided in Section 3.05(a).  No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of any Mortgaged Property shall, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the respective unpaid principal balances or Stated Principal Balances of the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan so permit; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Mortgage Loan.
 
(d)           The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be sub-account(s) of the Servicing Accounts or segregated account(s) (“Reserve Accounts”), in which all Reserve Funds, if any, received by it with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds.  Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Reserve Funds shall be held, each Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account.  As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Reserve Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Reserve Funds held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows:  (i) in the case of Reserve Funds that are intended to cover specific costs and expenses, to pay for, or to reimburse the related Borrower in connection with, the costs associated with the related tenant improvements, leasing commissions, repairs, replacements, capital improvements and/or environmental testing and remediation, litigation and/or other special expenses at or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for which such Reserve Funds were intended and to refund the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (ii) in the case of Reserve Funds intended to cover debt service payments, to apply amounts on deposit therein in respect of principal and interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; (iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) (or, if any such Advance has become an Unliquidated Advance, to transfer to the Collection Account an amount equal to the reimbursement that would otherwise have been made as described in this clause (iii)); (iv) subject to Section 3.20, to release such Reserve Funds to the related Borrower if the conditions precedent for such release are satisfied or otherwise apply such Reserve Funds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents if the conditions precedent for such release are not satisfied; (v) to pay interest or other income, if required and as
 
 
-166-

 
 
described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the Reserve Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower, to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in respect of such Reserve Account for each Collection Period) to the Master Servicer); (vi) to withdraw amounts deposited in such Reserve Account in error; (vii) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued interest on, and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Reserve Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01.  If the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan delivers a Letter of Credit in lieu of Reserve Funds, then the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, shall make draws on or reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit at such times and for such purposes as it would have made withdrawals from or reductions of the amount of a Reserve Account and, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, in order to convert the amount of such Letter of Credit into Reserve Funds.  Promptly after any Reserve Funds are received by the Special Servicer from any Borrower, and in any event within one Business Day of such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Reserve Funds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Reserve Account(s).  Any out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to make any draw under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall make reasonable efforts to recover such expenses from the related Borrower to the extent the Borrower is required to pay such expenses under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(e)           To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents for a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such plan is required to be established or completed.  To the extent any other action or remediation with respect to environmental matters is required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation of such action and remediation within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such action or remediation are required to have been taken or completed.  To the extent that a Borrower shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and (if affected) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).  The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders if the Master Servicer determines that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has failed to perform its obligations under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in respect of environmental matters.
 
(f)           Subject to applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, funds in the Servicing Accounts and the Reserve Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.
 
 
-167-

 
 
(g)           With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that requires the related Borrower to establish and maintain one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such account(s) in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.  No such lock-box account is required to be an Eligible Account, unless the Mortgage Loan Documents otherwise so require.  The Master Servicer shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, any lock-box, cash management or similar agreement and the Servicing Standard.
 
Section 3.04     Collection Account, Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund.  (a)   The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from its own funds and general assets.  In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts as the Collection Account, in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each account that constitutes the Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account.  The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within two Business Days of receipt (or in the case of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on such second Business Day) by it of properly identified funds (in the case of payments by Borrowers or other collections on the Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties acquired in respect thereof (other than in respect of scheduled payments of principal and interest due and payable on such Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution), which payments shall be delivered promptly to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, with negotiable instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse):
 
(i)            all payments (from whatever source) on account of principal of such Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

(iv)          all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loans and/or, insofar as such payments and/or proceeds represent amounts allocable to reimburse Servicing Advances or pay Liquidation Expenses and/or other servicing expenses in respect of the entire Serviced Loan Combination of which any such Mortgage Loan is part;
 
 
-168-

 
 
(v)          any amounts relating to such Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master force-placed hazard insurance policy;
 
(vi)          any amounts relating to an REO Property required to be transferred from any REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c);
 
(vii)         to the extent not otherwise included in another clause of this Section 3.04(a), any payments collected in respect of Unliquidated Advances on such Mortgage Loans in respect of amounts previously determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances;
 
(viii)        insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments or Reserve Funds, any amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans paid by a Borrower specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been made or that represent a recovery of property protection expenses from a Borrower; and
 
(ix)          any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.05(h) of this Agreement.
 
Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06, as and when required by such section, in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto.
 
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Borrowers in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, Assumption Fees, Assumption Application Fees, earn-out fees, extension fees, Modification Fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and other fees and amounts collected from Borrowers that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation and/or Additional Special Servicing Compensation, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account.  The Master Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of the Master Servicer’s receipt of same, deliver to the Special Servicer any of the foregoing items received by it with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer.  If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) and (vii) through (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(a) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage
 
 
-169-

 
 
Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement.  With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse, representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement.  Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c).
 
(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the “Distribution Account”), to be held on behalf of the Trustee and in the name of the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each account that constitutes the Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account.  The Certificate Administrator shall, as a bookkeeping matter, establish and maintain sub-accounts of the Distribution Account, one of which sub-accounts (such sub-account, the “REMIC Sub-Account”) shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, for deposit in the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the related Master Servicer Remittance Amount for the Master Servicer Remittance Date.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder, deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any P&I Advances and Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the Master Servicer hereunder.  Furthermore, any amounts paid by any party hereto to indemnify the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account.  The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account any and all amounts received or, pursuant to Section 4.03, advanced by the Trustee that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein.  As and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(c), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account.  Furthermore, as and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(d), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer monies from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account.  If the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  All amounts deposited into the Distribution Account shall be deemed to have been deposited into the REMIC Sub-Account.
 
(c)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Interest Reserve Account”) to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each account that constitutes the Interest Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of the Distribution Account.  On the Distribution Date in January (except during a leap year) and February of each calendar year,
 
 
-170-

 
 
commencing in 2016, prior to any distributions being made with respect to the Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, with respect to each Interest Reserve Loan, withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount, if any, in respect of such Interest Reserve Loan for such Distribution Date; provided that no such transfer of monies from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account shall be made on the Final Distribution Date.
 
Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account for reasons of administrative convenience, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Account shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities of the Certificate Administrator hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as, separate and distinct accounts.
 
(d)           If any Excess Liquidation Proceeds are received, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account”) to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.  Each account that constitutes the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account (or a separately identified sub-account of the Distribution Account, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of the Certificate Administrator hereunder) such account shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Distribution Account).  On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received by it during the Collection Period ending on the Determination Date immediately prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Collection Account, the REO Account, any Reserve Account, any Servicing Account, and the portion of the Distribution Account which is the REMIC Sub-Account in respect of REMIC I (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by REMIC I; the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) as described in Section 3.04(i); and the Loss of Value Fund (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers as described in Section 3.04(g), each for federal income tax purposes.
 
(e)           [Reserved.]
 
(f)           Funds in the Collection Account and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Funds in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be left uninvested.  The Master Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of the Collection Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof.
 
(g)           If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(h) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more

accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments.  Each account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account.  The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it.  The Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be accounted for as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC Pool.  Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as damages paid to and distributed by the REMIC Pools on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.  The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.
 
(h)           The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan separate and apart from its own funds and general assets.  In connection therewith, if there is one or more Serviced Loan Combinations related to this Trust, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (each, a “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account”), in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (and which accounts may be maintained as separately identified sub-accounts of the Collection Account, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder) such accounts shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Collection Account).  Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account.  The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, within two Business Days of receipt by it of properly identified funds or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in respect of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans subsequent to the Closing Date:

(iv)          all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of, and allocable as interest (including Default Interest) on, principal of or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto);

(v)           any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account;
 
(vi)          any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) in connection with losses on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or any successor interest in a REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master force-placed hazard insurance policy;
 
(vii)         any amounts required to be transferred to the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c); and

Subsection (II).  The provisions of this subsection (II) of this Section 3.05(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of this Section 3.05(a):
 
(i)           Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts:  If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such
 
 
-180-

 
 
Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.  That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
(ii)         General Relationship of Provisions.  Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) sets forth the terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(I) above (construed without regard to the reference therein to this subsection except that it is nonetheless hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified).  Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) authorizes or permits the Master Servicer, under certain circumstances, to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances at its sole option.  Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv) below.
 
(iii)        Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts:  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment (and, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself the amount of such reimbursement and payment) for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period (and it is again hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such
 
 
-181-

 
 
application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified); provided that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments from amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, net of the aggregate deduction amounts for Nonrecoverable Advances (and accrued and unpaid Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, as described by clause (II)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv).  As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from aggregate principal collections pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a delinquent amount as to which an Advance had been made, which Advance was previously reimbursed during the Collection Period for a prior Distribution Date as part of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts on or in respect of such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
 
The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.
 
(iv)           Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances.  To the extent that Section 3.05(a)(I) entitles the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, they shall be made, first, from the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, and then from other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period; provided that, if so provided as set forth below, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
 
 
-182-

 
 
provide each Rating Agency with at least fifteen (15) days’ notice before any reimbursement shall be made of a Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan from such other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would exceed the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option and in its sole discretion, to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months; provided that any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require (during a Subordinate Control Period) the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative; provided, further, that the aggregate amount that is the subject of the exercise of such option with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b).  If the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period.  In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof.  The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give the Rating Agencies at least fifteen (15) days’ notice (subject to Section 3.27) prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if any of clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give each Rating Agency notice (subject

to Section 3.27) of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances.  The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
 
Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a recovery of an amount determined in a prior Collection Period to have been a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(C) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Nonrecoverable Advances on such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv).  The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.
 
Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon).  Any such election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election).  Any such election by any such party to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance.  None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Loan Holders for any such election that such party makes to defer or not to defer reimbursement as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement.  The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph.

(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment due (or in any other performance required) under any Permitted Investment of funds on deposit in any Investment Account, and if the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator) is in default of its obligations under or contemplated by Section 3.06(b), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of (i) Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Interest Only Certificates or Principal Balance Certificates or (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative or (iii) alternatively, but only if the Permitted Investment involves funds on deposit in a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (iii), Section 8.02 shall be construed as if references therein to one or more “Certificateholders” were instead references to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Trustee shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings.  Any costs incurred by the Trustee in taking any such action shall be reimbursed to it by the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator).  This provision is in no way intended to limit any actions that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may take in this regard at its own expense.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation of the Available Distribution Amount, the Master Servicer Remittance Amounts and the monthly amounts payable to the respective Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.
 
Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.  (a)  In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to maintain (including identifying the extent to which a Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the Master Servicer will itself cause to be maintained with Qualified Insurers having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings) for the related Mortgaged Property (x) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including but not limited to coverage for damage resulting from acts of terrorism) as is required or (subject to the Servicing Standard) that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that all of the following conditions and/or limitations shall apply:
 
 
-193-

 
 
(A)           the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination unless such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates and the Trustee has an insurable interest;
 
(B)           if and to the extent that any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that, in each case, have the Required Claims-Paying Ratings at the time such insurance coverage is obtained;
 
(C)           the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents;
 
(D)           in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage that the Master Servicer has determined is either (i) not available at any rate or (ii) not available at commercially reasonable rates and the related hazards are not at the time commonly insured against at the then-available rates for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which the related Mortgaged Property is located;
 
(E)           the reasonable efforts of the Master Servicer to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain insurance shall be conducted in a manner that takes into account the insurance that would then be available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis; and
 
(F)           to the extent the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan does not maintain, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis (and this will not be construed to modify the other limits set forth in clause (D) above).
 
Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in clause (D) above, if the related Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan fails to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property (i) specific casualty insurance coverage providing for “special” form coverage that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) specific insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts, the Master
 
 
-194-

 
 
Servicer shall cause the related Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain, such insurance upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (during any Subordinate Control Period) with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative or (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) after having consulted with the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period) the Subordinate Class Representative, 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 (failure to maintain required insurance due to either of clause (a) or (b) is referred to herein as an “Acceptable Insurance Default”).  The Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, as applicable, will have no more than thirty (30) days to respond to the Special Servicer’s request for such consent or consultation; provided that upon the Special Servicer’s determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that exigent circumstances do not allow the Special Servicer to consult with the Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, the Special Servicer will not be required to do so.  If any such approval of the Special Servicer has not been expressly denied within ninety (90) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s determination and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision, such approval shall be deemed to have been granted.  If the Special Servicer is in the process of making a determination described above in this paragraph, then, during the period of such evaluation by the Special Servicer (or, to the extent applicable, during the period that the Special Servicer is obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative or consulting with the Trust Advisor and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable), the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the related Borrower to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure to maintain terrorism insurance.
 
The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and (if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if the Master Servicer determines that any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has failed to maintain insurance required under (or that the Master Servicer has required pursuant to a provision that entitles the lender to reasonably require insurance under) the related Mortgage Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination and/or the interest of the Trust or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in the related Mortgaged Property or if any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan has notified the Master Servicer in writing that such Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and the Master Servicer has determined that such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination and/or the interest of the Trust or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in the related Mortgaged Property.
 
(b)           Subject to Sections 3.17(b), and/or 3.24, as applicable, with respect to each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with Qualified Insurers having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings (a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not
 
 
-195-

 
 
provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements at such Administered REO Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related REO Mortgage Loan, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and (c) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least twelve (12) months (or at least eighteen (18) months, in the case of an Administered REO Property whose related REO Mortgage Loan had an initial principal balance exceeding $35,000,000), in each case if so required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that both of the following conditions and/or limitations shall apply:
 
(A)          the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain or obtain the insurance coverage otherwise described above unless the Trustee has an insurable interest; and
 
(B)           the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain or obtain the insurance coverage otherwise described above to the extent that the coverage is not available at commercially reasonable rates and consistent with the Servicing Standard.
 
All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (or the applicable sub-servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an Administered REO Property.  Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, to the extent the loss affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, in each case as appropriate in accordance with Section 3.04, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account of the Special Servicer, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of amounts received in respect of an Administered REO Property.  Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so permit; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination.  Costs to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section
 
 
-196-

 
 
3.19(b)) be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.
 
(c)           If (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of any Serviced Mortgage Loans, Serviced Loan Combinations or Administered REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy (A) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, and (B) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required herein and in the Mortgage Loan Documents or (ii) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has long-term unsecured debt obligations that are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include KBRA and/or Moody’s) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include KBRA and/or Moody’s) and A.M. Best Company), “A3” by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, at least “A-” by S&P (or, if not rated by S&P, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include KBRA and/or DBRS) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include KBRA and/or DBRS) and A.M. Best Company)) and an equivalent rating by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties, as applicable.  Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, whichever maintains such policy, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or any Administered REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account (or, to the extent the loss affects any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable) maintained by the Master Servicer, from its own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Trust, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard).  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
 
(d)           With respect to each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an “Insured Environmental Event”) giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and
 
 
-197-

 
 
conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder.  With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, which shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder.  With respect to each Administered REO Property that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder.  Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall be (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.19(b)) paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.
 
(e)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard.  The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.  Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.  So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by any two other NRSROs (which may include KBRA and/or Moody’s)), “A3” by Moody’s and the equivalent (or higher) rating by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may self-insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.
 
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard.  The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such policy or policies
 
 
-198-

 
 
and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.  Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.  So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, are rated not lower than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by any two other NRSROs (which may include KBRA and/or Moody’s)), “A3” by Moody’s and the equivalent (or higher) rating by KBRA (if then rated by KBRA), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, no Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of

(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless the basis on which the related Serviced Mortgage Loan became a Corrected Mortgage Loan was the remediation of a circumstance or condition relating to the related Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in which case, if such Mortgage Loan is repurchased within the Initial Resolution Period (and, if applicable any Resolution Extension Period as is permitted under Section 2.03) no Workout Fee will be payable from or based upon the receipt of, any Purchase Price paid by the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of Basis, by Basis Investment) in satisfaction of such repurchase obligation.  As to each such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each payment of interest (other than Default Interest and Post-ARD Additional Interest) and principal received from the related Borrower on such Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, except that any Workout Fees earned with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto and attributable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and solely out of the proceeds of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that any Workout Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto will be payable out of any proceeds on or with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property prior to any proceeds on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan and/or the Trust Fund’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property as otherwise described above.  In addition, the determination and payment of the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) for which the amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees is greater than zero shall be adjusted in the following manner:  (i) the Workout Fee Rate shall be multiplied by the aggregate amount of all the scheduled payments of principal and interest scheduled to become due under the terms of such Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period from the date when such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan to and including the Stated Maturity Date of such Corrected Mortgage Loan, without discounting for present value (the resulting product, the “Workout Fee Projected Amount”); and (ii) either (a) if the amount of the Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is greater than or equal to the Workout Fee Projected Amount for such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any payments in respect of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, or (b) if the amount of Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is less than the Workout Fee Projected Amount, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to payments of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, on the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Agreement without regard to this sentence, until the cumulative amount of such payments is equal to the excess of the Workout Fee Projected Amount over the Offsetting Modification Fees, after which date the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any further payments in respect of the Workout Fee for such Corrected Mortgage Loan.  The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if such Corrected Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an

REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee would become payable if and when such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) again became a Corrected Mortgage Loan after having again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, the Special Servicer shall retain the right (and the applicable successor Special Servicer shall not have the right) to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan serviced by the Special Servicer that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as the Special Servicer and that were still Corrected Mortgage Loans at the time of such termination or resignation and (ii) unless the Special Servicer was terminated for cause (in which case only clause (i) above shall apply), any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan such that the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be deemed a Corrected Mortgage Loan but for the Borrower having not yet made, as of the date of such termination or resignation, three timely Monthly Payments required by the terms of the workout; provided that in either case no other event has occurred as of the time of the Special Servicer’s termination or resignation that would otherwise cause such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) to again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.11(c).
 
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which any full, partial or discounted payoff is received from the related Borrower and with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including in each case both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and (without duplication) each Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) as to which the Special Servicer otherwise receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds; provided that, if a Liquidation Fee otherwise becomes payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then such Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan in the aggregate shall be reduced by the amount of any Offsetting Modification Fees; provided, further, that if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” and the related proceeds are received within 90 days following the related Stated Maturity Date in connection with the full and final payoff or refinancing of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, in each case the Special Servicer will not be entitled to collect a Liquidation Fee, but may collect and retain appropriate fees from the related Borrower in connection with such liquidation; provided, further, that no Liquidation Fee shall be paid with respect to:  (A) the purchase or other acquisition of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s),

(f)             If the Master Servicer or, as contemplated by Section 3.19, the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but fails to do so within ten (10) days after such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, if it has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, give written notice of such failure to the defaulting party.  If such Advance is not made by the Master Servicer within one Business Day after receipt of such written notice, then (subject to Section 3.11(h) below) the Trustee shall make such Advance.
 
(g)            The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds), for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding (it being acknowledged that Advance Interest shall not accrue on Unliquidated Advances related to prior Servicing Advances).  Such interest with respect to any Servicing Advances shall be payable:  (i) first, in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on or in respect of the particular Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property as to which such Servicing Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such Servicing Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account.  The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any Servicing Advance made by any such Person with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable.
 
(h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The
 
 
-220-

 
 
determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard, or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment.  In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes.  Any determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making such determination), the Special Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (or Other Master Servicer), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and, if such reports were used by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to determine that any Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the other such party or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) with respect to a particular Servicing Advance for any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property.  The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request.  A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificates (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly
 
 
-221-

 
 
delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).  The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a Servicing Advance.
 
The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to make (but shall not be obligated to make or not make), in its sole discretion, a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior Servicing Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in which case such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee and such Servicing Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for all purposes of this Agreement (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance).  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the provision set forth in Section 3.19(b) to the effect that any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the Special Servicer if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved, shall) pay directly out of the Collection Account any servicing expense that, if paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property; provided that (A) it shall be a condition to such payment that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making such payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by any information that such Person may have obtained that supports such determination; (B) if such servicing expense relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, the payment of such expense shall be subject to the proviso at the end of the first paragraph of Section 3.05(a)(I); and (C) such servicing expense shall be deemed to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance for purposes of Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and the terms and conditions set forth in such subsection that are applicable to Nonrecoverable Advances shall apply to such servicing expense.  A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying

(c)            Upon the request of the Subordinate Class Representative made not more frequently than once a month during the normal business hours of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available either by telephone (with Servicing Officers of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer participating simultaneously if the Subordinate Class Representative so requests) or, at the option of the Subordinate Class Representative if it provides reasonable advance notice, at the office of such Servicing Officer, to verbally answer questions from the Subordinate Class Representative regarding the performance and servicing of the Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan Document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.
 
(e)           Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for providing, disseminating or withholding information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition to their other rights hereunder, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (and their respective employees, attorneys, officers, directors and agents) shall, in each case, be indemnified by the Trust Fund for any claims, losses or expenses arising from any such provision, dissemination or withholding.

Servicer at the expense of the Trust (or, in the case of an Administered REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Trust and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) for the purpose of taking title to one or more Administered REO Properties pursuant to this Agreement.  Any such limited liability company formed by the Special Servicer shall be a manager-managed limited liability company, with the Special Servicer to serve as the initial manager to manage the property of the limited liability company, including any applicable Administered REO Property, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if such property was held directly in the name of the Trust or Trustee under this Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall sell any Administered REO Property in accordance with Section 3.18 by the end of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of such liquidation period, and is granted (or, pursuant to IRS regulations, deemed to have been granted) an extension of time or the IRS does not deny an application for an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Administered REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Administered REO Property subsequent to the end of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.  Regardless of whether the Special Servicer applies for or is granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of such sentence, the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard to liquidate the subject Administered REO Property on a timely basis.  If the Special Servicer is granted such REO Extension or obtains such Opinion of Counsel with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly forward a copy of such REO Extension or Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, and (ii) sell the subject Administered REO Property within such extended period as is permitted by such REO Extension or contemplated by such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be.  Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its applying for and being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the third preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the third preceding sentence, and for the creation of and the operating of a limited liability company, shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
 
(b)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with any Administered REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets.  If any REO Acquisition occurs in respect of any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, an “REO Account”), to be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from such Administered REO Property.  Each account that constitutes an REO Account shall be an Eligible Account.  The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within one Business Day following receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an Administered REO

Property.  Funds in an REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06.  The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, if any, any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an Administered REO Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are received, as well as any other items that otherwise may be paid by the Master Servicer out of such Liquidation Proceeds as contemplated by Section 3.05(a).  The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals from the REO Account to pay itself, as Additional Special Servicing Compensation, interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts held in such REO Account as provided in Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such REO Account for any Collection Period).  The Special Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of such REO Account prior to any change thereof.
 
(c)           The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in such REO Account relating to such Administered REO Property.  Monthly within one Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account, or deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property during such Collection Period that are then on deposit in such REO Account, net of any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that (A) in the case of each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may retain in the REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, necessary capital improvements and other related expenses) and (B) if such Administered REO Property relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall make, from such amounts so deposited or remitted as described above, any deposits into any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account contemplated by Section 3.04(h) or Section 3.04(i), as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts withdrawn from an REO Account and deposited into the Collection Account following the end of each Collection Period pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, upon such deposit, be construed to have been received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period.
 
(d)           The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or 3.16(c).
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 3.17     Management of Administered REO Property.  (a)  Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust.  If the Special Servicer determines from such review that:
 
 
-228-

 
 
(i)            None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property would be subject to tax as “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (such tax referred to herein as an “REO Tax”), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the Special Servicer as Administered REO Property, other than holding such Administered REO Property for sale or lease or performing construction work thereon;
 
(ii)           Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an Administered REO Property could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor with respect to such property, or another method of operating such property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (provided that in the judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, it is commercially reasonable) so lease or otherwise operate such Administered REO Property; or
 
(iii)          It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such property as Administered REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and either (i) that the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any REO Tax relating to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the applicable Administered REO Property to the Certificateholders (taking into account that any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) do not have any obligation under the related Intercreditor Agreement to bear the effect of any such REO Tax) or (ii) that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such property as Administered REO Property without the Trust incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, then the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Tax Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative, in writing, a proposed plan (the “Proposed Plan”) to manage such property as Administered REO Property.  Such plan shall include potential sources of income and good faith estimates of the amount of income from each such source.  Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such plan, the Tax Administrator shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall advise the Special Servicer of the Trust’s federal income tax reporting position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust would derive under the Proposed Plan.  In addition, the Tax Administrator shall (to the maximum extent reasonably possible and at a reasonable fee, which fee shall be an expense of the Trust) advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the Trust would be required to pay with respect to each such source of income.  After receiving the information described in the two preceding sentences from the Tax Administrator, the Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as Administered REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.
 
Subject to Section 3.17(b), the Special Servicer’s decision as to how each Administered REO Property shall be managed and operated shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  Neither the Special Servicer nor the Tax Administrator shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Trust, the other parties hereto, any beneficiaries hereof or
 
 
-229-

 
 
each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the exercise of their discretion while performing their respective responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a) with respect to any Administered REO Property.  Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended to prevent the sale of any Administered REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.
 
(b)           If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such Administered REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Section 3.18 below, in a manner that does not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, result in the receipt by any REMIC Pool of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.  Except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any lease, contract or other agreement with respect to any Administered REO Property that causes the Trust to receive, and (unless required to do so under any lease, contract or agreement to which the Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or successor to a party due to a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar exercise of a creditor’s rights or remedies with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall not, with respect to any Administered REO Property, cause or allow the Trust to receive, any “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.  Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the administration of any Administered REO Property, as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such Administered REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property, including:
 
(i)            all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Administered REO Property;
 
(ii)          all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such Administered REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
 
(iii)         any ground rents in respect of such Administered REO Property; and
 
(iv)         all other costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such Administered REO Property.
 
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to any Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes contemplated by the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall, at the direction of the Special Servicer, but subject to Section 3.11(h), make a Servicing Advance of such amounts as
 
 
-230-

 
 
are necessary for such purposes unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such advances would, if made, be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion make any such Servicing Advance without regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.
 
(c)           The Special Servicer may, and, if required for the Administered REO Property to continue to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, shall, contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property, provided that:
 
(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;
 
(ii)           the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in consideration of the nature and locality of such Administered REO Property;
 
(iii)          any such contract shall be consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(e)(6) and shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, including those listed in Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
 
(iv)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such Administered REO Property; and
 
(v)           the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the Servicing Standard in maintaining such Independent Contractor.
 
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.  To the extent the costs of any contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property are greater than the revenues available from such property, such excess costs shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
 
 
-231-

 
 
(d)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:
 
(i)            permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any Administered REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(ii)           permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any Administered REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan become imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
 
(iv)           except as otherwise provided for in Sections 3.17(a)(i), 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(a)(iii) above, Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any Administered REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by or on behalf of the Trust Fund;
 
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.17 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 3.18     Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties; Sale of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans.  (a)  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, (iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan (or Administered REO Property related thereto) with a related mezzanine loan, in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement or (iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination (or REO Mortgage Loan related thereto), in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder as a collective

whole), to attempt to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, to sell the entire Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of the Certificateholders (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price; provided that, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan pursuant to Section 3.18(e) and pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  During any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trust Advisor of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.
 
(c)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor (at any time other than a Subordinate Control Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  In no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, offer for or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.
 
(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination) for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) 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 Mortgage Loan, (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer, if no Interested Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested Person is so making an offer.  The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from an Interested Person is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, then such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price and the Trustee shall
 
 
-233-

 
 
not make such determination; provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence.  Where any Interested Person is among those submitting offers with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing.  In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(d) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price (but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph with respect to an offer from an Interested Person).
 
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 Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(e)           In the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested SLC Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested SLC Person; provided that no offer from an Interested SLC Person for a Serviced Loan Combination shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other bona fide offers are received from
 
 
-234-

 
 
independent third parties.  In determining whether any offer received from an Interested SLC Person represents a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer, if no Interested SLC Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested SLC Person is so making an offer.  The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(e) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an offer from an Interested SLC Person is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such Serviced Loan Combination, then the Trustee will not be required to make any such determination of fair price and such offer will be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received).  Further notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without the written consent of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder:  (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell any related Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for any such Serviced Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Subordinate Class 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 Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence.  Subject to the foregoing, each of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or a representative thereof shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) designate an Independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5
 
 
-235-

 
 
years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Serviced Loan Combination, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Serviced Loan Combination.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested SLC Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested SLC Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(f)           The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to solicit cash offers for each Administered REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for any Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a)).  The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple cash offers are received by a specified offer date, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for such Administered REO Property.  If the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) with respect to any Administered REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the Special Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, dispose of such Administered REO Property upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances.
 
The Special Servicer shall give the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of its intention to sell any Administered REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18(f).
 
No Mortgage Loan Seller, Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not offer for or purchase any Administered REO Property pursuant hereto.
 
(g)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 3.18(f) above, shall be determined by the Special Servicer or, if such cash offer is from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Special Servicer, by the Trustee.  In determining whether any offer received from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer represents a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Appraisal in the related Servicing File conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine-month period (or, in the absence of any such Appraisal or if there has been a material change at the subject property since any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal to be obtained by the Special Servicer, the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). 
 
 
-236-

 
 
The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser that is (i) selected by the Special Servicer if neither the Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer with respect to the subject Administered REO Property and (ii) selected by the Trustee if either the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is so submitting an offer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such REO Property, then the Trustee shall not make any determination of fair price and such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received); provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence.  Where any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person is among those submitting offers with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to it (or, if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer, be submitted to the Trustee) in writing and, if applicable, otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement.  In determining whether any offer from a Person other than any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall take into account the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months, as well as, among other factors, the occupancy level and physical condition of such Administered REO Property, the state of the then-current local economy and commercial real estate market where such Administered REO Property is located and the obligation to dispose of such Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a)).  The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making any such determination.  The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property (which, in connection with an Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, shall be construed and calculated with respect to the entire Serviced Loan Combination) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.18, no cash offer from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such offer is the highest cash offer received and at least two Independent offers (not including the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received.  In the event the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the only offer received or is the higher of only two offers received, then additional offers shall be solicited.  If an additional offer or offers, as the case may be, are received for any Administered REO Property and the original offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the highest of all offers received, then the offer of the Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the Trustee has otherwise determined, as provided above in Section 3.18(f), that such offer constitutes a fair price for the subject Administered REO Property.  Any offer by the Special Servicer for any Administered REO Property shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the subject Administered REO Property shall be transferred to the Special Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty other than customary representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a real property.
 
 
-237-

 
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, and, if applicable, to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such mortgage loan.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(h)           Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(g) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating with Independent third parties in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith.  In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or evaluating offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account; provided that if the Special Servicer was previously reimbursed for such costs from the Collection Account, then the Special Servicer must deposit such amounts into the Collection Account.  Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any Administered REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
 
(i)            Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property shall be for cash only.  The Special Servicer in its capacity as Special Servicer shall have no authority to provide financing to the purchaser.
 
(j)            With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that becomes a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or other similar term is defined pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and construed as if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a “Mortgage Loan” under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the liquidation of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be administered by the related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement.  Any such sale of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the
 
 
-238-

 
 
Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan accepted on behalf of the Trust.
 
(k)           If any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is sold under this Section 3.18, or a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is sold in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the purchase price shall be deposited into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made (based upon, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, notification by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of the amount of the purchase price), shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property in the Person who purchased such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property.
 
(l)            Any purchaser of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, whether pursuant to this Section 3.18 or pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 9.01, will be subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, including any requirements thereof governing who may be a holder of such Mortgage Loan.  The Special Servicer will require, in connection with such a sale of such a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, that the purchaser assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the holder of such Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(m)          In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the provisions described in this Section 3.18 for an amount less than the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall obtain the approval of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or consult with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), subject to the Special Servicer’s prevailing duty to comply with the Servicing Standard.  In addition, in considering such a sale, the Special Servicer shall consider the interests only of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).  In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(m), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.
 
(n)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, to the extent a Subordinate Control Period is then in effect, with the consent or deemed consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, and, to the extent a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, and, to the extent a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Trust Advisor), that
 
 
-239-

 
 
rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender).  In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(n), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.
 
Section 3.19     Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer.
 
(a)           Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property.  If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer.  Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate
 
 
-240-

 
 
Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.  For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may, in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer.  In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).
 
A Serviced Mortgage Loan shall cease to be a Required Appraisal Loan if and when, following the occurrence of the most recent Appraisal Trigger Event, any and all Servicing Transfer Events with respect to such Mortgage Loan have ceased to exist and no other Appraisal Trigger Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding ninety (90) days.
 
For so long as any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan, the Special Servicer shall, every nine (9) months after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, at the Special Servicer’s option, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal.  If such update is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer.  Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall redetermine, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.  In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall also redetermine, and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect (and the identity of the Subordinate Class), whenever the Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal or updated Appraisal under this Agreement, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s report of the resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount, to direct the Special Servicer to hire a Qualified Appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Subordinate Class Representative to prepare a second
 
 
-241-

 
 
Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property at the expense of the Subordinate Class Representative.  The Special Servicer must use reasonable efforts to cause the delivery of such second Appraisal within thirty (30) days following the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative.  Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested from the Master Servicer reasonably required to perform such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount on the basis of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a).  Solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class:
 
(i)            the first Appraisal shall be disregarded and have no force or effect, and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount is already then in effect, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the related Mortgage Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent prior Appraisal or updated Appraisal obtained under this Agreement (or, if no such Appraisal exists, there shall be no Appraisal Reduction Amount for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class) unless and until the (a) the Subordinate Class Representative fails to exercise its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal within the exercise period described above or (b) if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal, such second Appraisal is not received by the Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, whichever occurs earlier (and, in such event, an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated on the basis of such first Appraisal, if any, shall be effective); and
 
(ii)           if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal and such second Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, the Appraisal Reduction Amount (if any), calculated on the basis of the second Appraisal (if the Special Servicer determines that a recalculation was warranted as described above) or (otherwise) on the basis of the first Appraisal shall be effective.
 
In addition, if there is a material change with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated, then (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Holder (or group of Holders) of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated thereto to less than 25% of the initial Class Principal Balance of each such Class and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to present to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal and updated

information.  If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to such Class shall have its related Certificate Principal Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect.  With respect to each Class of Control-Eligible Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with any such additional Appraisals as provided above is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period for each Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated.
 
With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the existence of a Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and, if applicable, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, (i) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property used to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be determined on an “as-is” basis and (ii) the Appraisal Reduction Amount so calculated shall be notionally allocable between the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse order of their alphanumeric designations (in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof is notionally reduced to zero) and the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be treated as a single Class in such notional allocation; provided, however, that for the purposes of such allocation, Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the respective Class PEX Components rather than to the Class PEX Certificates, and for the purposes of such allocation (A) the Class A-S Certificates and the Class A-S-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “A-S”, (B) the Class B Certificates and the Class B-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “B”, and (C) the Class C Certificates and the Class C-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute as single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “C”.
 
The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in the Master Servicer’s possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or updated Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable best efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Section of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer whenever a Servicing Advance is required to be made with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and, the Master Servicer shall (subject to Section 3.11(h)) make such Servicing Advance; provided that the Special Servicer shall either (i) make any Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) on a Specially Serviced Mortgage
 
 
-243-

 
 
Loan or Administered REO Property that constitutes an Emergency Advance or (ii) notify the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after the Special Servicer acquires actual knowledge of the need for such Emergency Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and request the Master Servicer to make such Emergency Advance.  Each such notice and request shall be made, in writing, not less than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, not later than two (2) Business Days (provided the request sets forth the nature of the emergency), in advance of the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than Emergency Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance).  The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make (as described above) not later than the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made, but in no event shall it be required to make any Servicing Advance on a date that is earlier than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, on a date that is earlier than two (2) Business Days, following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request.  If the request is timely and properly made, the requesting Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests the Master Servicer to make with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (regardless of whether or not the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance).  The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with Advance Interest in accordance with Sections 3.05(a) and 3.11(g), at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby.  Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, on which deemed determination the Master Servicer is entitled to rely.  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the right of the Special Servicer under Section 3.11(i) with respect to the payment of any servicing expense that, if advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  If the Special Servicer makes an Emergency Advance, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Emergency Advance (with Advance Interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) within five (5) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s request for reimbursement (which request shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request), upon which reimbursement the Master Servicer will be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance when the Special Servicer made such Emergency Advance.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(b), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(c)           The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, 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 Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Mortgage Loans on which the Special Servicer allowed or consented to the Master Servicer allowing a Principal Prepayment on such Serviced Mortgage Loan on a date other than the applicable Due Date) during the related Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate of (A) that portion of its Master Servicing Fees earned by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan for which such Master Servicing Fees are being paid in the related Collection Period, calculated for this purpose at one (1) basis point (0.01%) per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the Master Servicer during the related Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer shall pay (without regard to clause (ii) above) the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall otherwise described in clause (i) above incurred in connection with any Principal Prepayment received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period to the extent such Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the Master Servicer allowing the related Borrower to deviate from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order (including in connection with amounts collected as Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the extent that such applicable law or court order limits the ability of the Master Servicer to apply the proceeds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents), (y) at the request or with the consent of the Special Servicer, or (z) during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, at the request or with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative).
 
The rights of the Certificateholders to offsets of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative from Collection Period to Collection Period.
 
(d)           With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is to be defeased in accordance with its terms, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver to each Rating Agency (subject to Section 3.27) a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N and, further, shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, require the related Borrower (i) to provide replacement collateral consisting of U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due (and assuming, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, that the subject ARD Mortgage Loan matures on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) to deliver a certificate from an independent certified public accounting firm certifying that the replacement collateral is sufficient to make such payments, (iii) at the option of the Master Servicer, to designate a single purpose entity (which may be (but is not required to be) a subsidiary of the Master Servicer established for the purpose of assuming all defeased Serviced Mortgage Loans) to assume the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) and own the defeasance collateral, (iv) to implement such defeasance only after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (v) to provide an Opinion of Counsel that

the Trustee has a perfected, first priority security interest in the new collateral, and (vi) in the case of a partial defeasance of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, to defease a principal amount equal to at least 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property or Properties to be released; provided that, if (A) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000 or an outstanding principal balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool or is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans then in the Trust Fund, (B) the terms of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan do not permit the Master Servicer to impose the foregoing requirements and the Master Servicer does not satisfy such requirements on its own or (C) the Master Servicer is unable to execute and deliver the certification attached hereto as Exhibit N in connection with the subject defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall so notify the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and, so long as such a requirement would not violate applicable law or the Servicing Standard, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) with respect to such defeasance.  Subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not permit a defeasance unless (i) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to pay (or the Borrower in fact pays) all Rating Agency fees associated with defeasance (if a Rating Agency Confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all expenses associated with defeasance or other arrangements for payment of such costs are made at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer (provided that in no event shall such proposed other arrangements result in any liability to the Trust Fund including any indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which may result in legal expenses to the Trust Fund), and (ii) the Borrower is required to provide all Opinions of Counsel, including Opinions of Counsel that the defeasance will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event and that the related Mortgage Loan Documents are fully enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar standard exceptions), and any applicable Rating Agency Confirmations.
 
(e)           In connection with the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Borrower was required to escrow funds or post a Letter of Credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion to retain the cash or Letter of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall hold such escrows or Letters of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral and not use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents allow such action), unless holding such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.
 
Section 3.20     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.  (a)  The Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and in the case of a Special Servicer Decision or a Material Action with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Non-WFB Mortgage Loan or a related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan other than a Special Servicer Decision or a

in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on the related date of substitution) (provided that in the case of any and all transactions involving a release of a lien on real property that secures a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, such a lien release shall be permitted only if the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination will continue to be “principally secured by real property” after the lien is released, or if it would not be, the release is permitted under IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, 2010-36 I.R.B. 316); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding clauses (i) through (vii) above, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to oppose the confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination if, in its reasonable judgment, such opposition would not ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially similar.
 
Upon receiving a request for any matter described in this Section 3.20(a) that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or a Material Action (without regard to the proviso in the definition of “Special Servicer Decision” or “Material Action”, as applicable) with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Non-WFB Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall forward such request to the Special Servicer and, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Special Servicer shall process such request and the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation with respect to such request or such Special Servicer Decision or Material Action.

provided that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment (A) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), would not cause any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to cease to be treated as “principally secured by real property” and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or constitute an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, and (B) would be consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(d)           Each Sub-Servicer actually performing servicing functions shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the Mortgaged Properties for the Mortgage Loans it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law, except where the failure to so comply would not adversely affect the Sub-Servicer’s ability to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.
 
(e)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), shall (at no expense to any other party hereto or to the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of their respective Sub-Servicers under the related Sub-Servicing Agreements.  Such enforcement, including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the subject Mortgage Loans.  Subject to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including any provisions thereof limiting the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to terminate a Sub-Servicer, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it at any time it considers such removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders (and/or, in the case of a Sub-Servicer for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as applicable.

(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any account established and maintained by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer shall for all purposes under this Agreement be deemed to be an account established and maintained by the Master Servicer.
 
(i)            Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the foregoing subsections of this Section 3.22, the appointment by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of one or more third party contractors for the purpose of performing discrete, ministerial functions shall not constitute the appointment of Sub-Servicers and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.22; provided that (a) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall remain responsible for the actions of such third party contractors as if it were alone performing such functions and shall pay all fees and expenses of such third party contractors; (b) such appointment imposes no additional duty on any other party to this Agreement, any successor hereunder to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or on the Trust; and (c) the subject contractor (if it would be a Servicing Function Participant) is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such appointment unless (in the case of this clause (c)) the appointment of such contractor has been expressly approved by the Depositor acting in its reasonable discretion.  The proviso to the preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to be reimbursed for any cost or expense for which it is otherwise entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement.
 
(j)            The Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement unless the Subordinate Class Representative has consented thereto (during any Subordinate Control Period) or such Sub-Servicing Agreement is required to be entered into in connection with a Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the exercise by a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of its rights under Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, and the execution and delivery of such Sub-Servicing Agreement is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trustee and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Operating Advisor, notice of the identity of such Subordinate Class Representative, including the name and address furnished to the Certificate Administrator under subsection (a) above.  The Certificate Administrator shall also deliver such information to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer promptly upon request therefor by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer, as the case may be.  With respect to such information, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided to it under subsection (a) above, and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer shall all be entitled to rely on such information provided by the Certificate Administrator with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Subordinate Class Representative.  In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the resignation or removal of a Subordinate Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the other parties to this Agreement and the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, of such event.
 
(d)           A Subordinate Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, which shall thereupon give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trustee.  The effectiveness of such resignation shall not be conditioned upon or subject to the prior appointment or approval of a successor to the resigning Subordinate Class Representative.  In no event shall the failure of the Subordinate Class Representative or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to provide such notice prejudice or call into question the effectiveness of such resignation.  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (e) below.
 
(e)           Once a Subordinate Class Representative has been selected pursuant to this Section 3.23, each of the parties to this Agreement and the parties to the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or such Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Certificate Administrator and each other party to this Agreement, and the parties to the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement in writing, of the resignation or removal of such Subordinate Class Representative.
 
(f)            Any and all expenses of the Subordinate Class Representative shall be borne by the Holders (or, if applicable, the Certificate Owners) of Certificates of the Subordinate Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class, and not by the Trust.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Subordinate Class Representative by a Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any particular Mortgage Loan, the Subordinate Class Representative shall immediately notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, whereupon (if the Special Servicer, the
 
 
-262-

 
 
Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Special Servicer (i) the Subordinate Class Representative had acted in good faith, without negligence or willful misfeasance, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii) there is no potential for the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Subordinate Class Representative) the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust shall, subject to Section 6.03 and the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, assume, at the expense of the Trust Fund, the defense of any such claim against the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that no judgment against the Subordinate Class Representative shall be payable out of the Trust Fund.  This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of any Subordinate Class Representative.
 
(g)           The Subordinate Class Representative may receive amounts payable to the Special Servicer as special servicing compensation as described in and to the extent as the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative may agree.
 
(h)           In addition, upon request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trust Advisor, and, in the case of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably promptly provide the name of the then-current Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if requested, a list of the Certificateholders (or a securities position listing from the Depository) of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to such requesting party (at the expense of the Trust Fund).
 
(i)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as the Class F Certificates are the Subordinate Class, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Trust Advisor, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Depositor, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Certificate Administrator, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trustee, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trust Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”).  Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party has sold or transferred, in the aggregate, a majority of the Class F Certificates to an unaffiliated third party or third parties (such sale or transfer, a “Class F Transfer”).  Following any such Transfer the successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall again have the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.  The successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 3.23(i) to irrevocably waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate
 
 
-263-

 
 
Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement.  No successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
 
(j)            The Subordinate Class Representative may not be a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower.
 
(k)           With respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder hereunder shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the “Directing Holder” under the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, as and to the extent provided in the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, including any consent or consultation rights with respect to “Major Decisions” thereunder with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination and any right to approve “Asset Status Reports” prepared by the related Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, in each case, subject to the occurrence and continuance of a Subordinate Control Period or a Senior Consultation Event, as applicable, with respect to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
 
To facilitate the exercise by the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder of the foregoing rights with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination under the CGCMT 2015-GC27 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the exercise by the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Certificateholders of their rights with respect to the replacement of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer for the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination as set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Master Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Special Servicer, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Trustee and the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Operating Advisor, promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge that a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period has commenced, or that such period is no longer continuing.

Section 3.24     Asset Status Reports and Certain Rights and Powers of the Subordinate Class Representative.  (a)  No later than forty-five (45) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in
 
 
-264-

 
 
accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:
 
(i)            a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the related Borrower;
 
(ii)           a discussion of the general legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer (including without limitation by reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c)), consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set forth herein and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;
 
(iii)          the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties;
 
(iv)           a summary of the Special Servicer’s recommended action with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;
 
(v)           the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, together with the assumptions used in the calculation thereof (which the Special Servicer may satisfy by providing a copy of the most recently obtained Appraisal); and
 
(vi)          such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.
 
During a Subordinate Control Period, if the Subordinate Class Representative does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of receipt, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report.  In addition, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may object to any Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender).  If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative disapproves the Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the
 
 
-265-

 
 
subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  During a Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report until the Subordinate Class Representative fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report as described above, until the Subordinate Class Representative’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes a determination that the objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender).  If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Special Servicer have not agreed upon an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the initial Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the actions described in the most recent Asset Status Report submitted by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above and if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts, during a Subordinate Control Period, to contact the Subordinate Class Representative.  The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.
 
The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.24(a).
 
In addition, the Special Servicer shall deliver a summary (as approved by the Subordinate Class Representative if a Subordinate Control Period is in effect) of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Trust Advisor (and, with respect to the Trust Advisor, shall also deliver each Final Asset Status Report).  Upon receipt of such summary, the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on its website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).
 
A “Final Asset Status Report”, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, means each related Asset Status Report, together with such other data or supporting information provided by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative, in each case prepared in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and which, in any event, will not include any Privileged Information; provided that no Asset Status Report shall be considered to be a Final Asset Status Report unless, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative has either finally approved of and consented to the actions proposed to be taken in connection therewith, or has exhausted all of its rights of approval or consent, or has been deemed to approve or consent to such action.
 
 
-266-

 
 
Each of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor, as applicable.  The Special Servicer may revise any 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 Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor.  Consultation with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).
 
During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Trust Advisor.  The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Trust Advisor.  The interaction with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).
 
(b)           Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (without regard to the sixty (60) day or one hundred twenty (120) day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.  The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.
 
(c)           During any Subordinate Control Period, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative will be entitled to approve or disapprove Asset Status Reports and (ii) the Special Servicer generally will not be permitted to take or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Material Action not otherwise covered by an approved Asset Status Report, unless and until the Special Servicer has notified the Subordinate Class Representative and the Subordinate Class Representative has consented (or failed to object) thereto in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with a leasing matter, five (5) Business Days, or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) of having been notified thereof in writing and provided with all reasonably requested information by it.  However, the Special Servicer may take any Material Action (or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking a Material Action) without waiting for the response of the Subordinate Class Representative if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, if affected thereby, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole.  Furthermore, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may, in general, direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, any actions as that representative may deem advisable with respect to the servicing and administration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or as to which provision is otherwise made in this Agreement.  During a Subordinate Control Period, the
 
 
-267-

 
 
Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or the Subordinate Class Representative on its behalf shall have the right to remove the existing Special Servicer, with or without cause, and appoint a successor to the Special Servicer, all as provided in Section 6.05(a).
 
During any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have consultation rights (in addition to those of the Trust Advisor) with respect to Material Actions not otherwise covered by an Asset Status Report as to which the Subordinate Class Representative has been consulted.  During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no right to remove the existing Special Servicer.
 
During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Action is covered by an Asset Status Report); provided that the Special Servicer shall not consult with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions related to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement, to the extent such actions do not relate to the restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Action” means, for any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, any of the following actions:
 
(i)            any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which shall include acquisitions of any REO Property) of the ownership of the property or properties securing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that comes into and continues 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or any extension of the maturity date of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination;
 
(iii)           following a default or an event of default with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, any exercise of remedies, including the acceleration of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or initiation of any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents;
 
(iv)          any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property for less than the applicable Purchase Price;
 
(v)           any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address any Hazardous Materials located at a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property;

(vi)          any release of material collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or any consent to either of the foregoing, other than if required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and for which there is no lender discretion;
 
(vii)         any waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or any consent to such a waiver or consent to a transfer of a Mortgaged Property or interests in the Borrower;
 
(viii)        any incurrence of additional debt by a Borrower or any mezzanine financing by any beneficial owner of a Borrower (to the extent that the lender has consent rights pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents (for purposes of the determination whether a lender has such consent rights pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents, any Mortgage Loan Document provision that requires that an intercreditor agreement be reasonably or otherwise acceptable to the lender shall constitute such consent rights));
 
(ix)           any material modification, waiver or amendment of an intercreditor agreement, co-lender agreement or similar agreement with any mezzanine lender or subordinate debt holder related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or any action to enforce rights (or decision not to enforce rights) with respect thereto, or any material modification, waiver or amendment thereof;
 
(x)            any property management company changes (with respect to a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance equal to or greater than $2,500,000), including, without limitation, approval of the termination of a manager and appointment of a new property manager, or franchise changes (with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination for which the lender is required to consent or approve such changes under the Mortgage Loan Documents);
 
(xi)           releases of any material amounts from any escrow accounts, Reserve Funds or Letters of Credit, in each case, held as performance escrows or reserves, other than those required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and for which there is no lender discretion and other than those that are permitted to be undertaken by the Master Servicer without the consent of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20(f);
 
(xii)          any acceptance of an assumption agreement or any other agreement permitting a transfer of interests in a Borrower, guarantor or other obligor releasing a Borrower, guarantor or other obligor from liability under a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination other than pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan and for which there is no lender discretion;
 
(xiii)         any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default;

(xiv)        any determination by the Master Servicer to transfer a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to the Special Servicer under the circumstances described in paragraph (c) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan”; or
 
(xv)         any modification, waiver or amendment of any lease, the execution of any new lease or the granting of a subordination and nondisturbance or attornment agreement in connection with any lease, at a Mortgaged Property if (a) the lease involves a ground lease or lease of an outparcel or affects an area greater than or equal to the lesser of (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan primary serviced by Prudential Asset Resources, Inc. or any successor or assign, the greater of) (1) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (2) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (b) such transaction either is not described by Section 3.20(f)(iv) or such transaction relates to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to determining whether the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will process any of the matters listed in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xv) with respect to any Non-WFB Mortgage Loan, “Material Action” shall not include any matter listed in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xv) if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer have mutually agreed, as contemplated by Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.20(a), as applicable, of this Agreement, that the Master Servicer will process such matter with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

(d)           [Reserved.]
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:  (i) the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent or approval from any Subordinate Class Representative prior to acting (and provisions of this Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Subordinate Class Representative and before a replacement is selected; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by the Subordinate Class Representative, as contemplated by Section 3.24(a) or Section 3.24(c) or any other provision of this Agreement, may (and the Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that the Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would):  (A) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan or any other Section of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Intercreditor Agreement), including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions, (B) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, (C) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer acting on behalf of the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Custodian or any of their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) during a Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) during a Senior Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Subordinate Class Representative.
 
(g)           Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that:  (i) the Subordinate Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders and Certificate Owners of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Class F and/or Class G Certificates; (iii) the Subordinate Class Representative does not have any duties to the Trust Fund or to the Holders of any Class of Certificates; (iv) the Subordinate Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Class F and/or Class G Certificates over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; (v) the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever to the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or any Borrower for having acted as described in this Section 3.24(g), or in exercising its rights, powers and privileges, in taking any action or refraining from taking any action, or in giving any consent or failing to give any consent, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement; and (vi) no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Subordinate Class Representative or any Affiliate, director, officer, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof as a result of the Subordinate Class Representative having acted in the manner described in this Section 3.24(g), or a result of the special relationships or interests described in this Section 3.24(g).  In addition, each initial Certificateholder further acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that (i) such Certificateholder is not entitled to rely, and has not relied, on any due diligence or other review of the Trust Fund or its assets by the Initial Subordinate Class Representative or the Initial Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or any Affiliate, director, officer, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof, in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates, and (ii) such Certificateholder waives any cause of action that it may otherwise have against the Initial Subordinate Class Representative or the Initial Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or any Affiliate, director, officer, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof, based upon or arising from any due diligence or other review of the Trust Fund or its assets by any such Person.

Section 3.25     Application of Default Charges.  (a)  Any and all Default Charges that are actually received by or on behalf of the Trust with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Mortgage Loan included in a Serviced Loan Combination) or any related REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor thereto (net of any portion thereof applied to pay Advance Interest under Section 3.05) and (to the extent remitted to the Master Servicer by the
 
 
-271-

 
 
related Non-Trust Master Servicer and, in any event, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) any and all Default Charges that are actually received by or on behalf of the Trust with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan or successor REO Mortgage Loan during any Collection Period shall be applied for the following purposes and in the following order, in each case to the extent of the remaining portion of such charges and fees:
 
(i)             first, to pay to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in that order, any Advance Interest due and owing to such party on outstanding Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be;
 
(ii)           second, to reimburse the Trust Fund for any Advance Interest paid to the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer following the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, which interest was paid from a source other than Default Charges collected on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be; and
 
(iii)          third, with respect to any remaining Default Charges (“Net Default Charges”), to the Master Servicer, to the extent that such Net Default Charges accrued while the related Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, to the extent that such Net Default Charges accrued while the related Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

reasonably relevant to the facts upon which the Trust Advisor has based such assessment, and the Trust Advisor shall undertake a reasonable review of such additional limited non-privileged information and documentation prior to finalizing its annual assessment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the content of the Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be determined solely by the Trust Advisor.  Subject to the restrictions and limitations in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.28(b), (c), (d) and (g) hereof, each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations of which it has actual knowledge (i) from the Special Servicer’s obligations to comply with the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions).  No Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Trust Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer if during the prior calendar year no Asset Status Report was prepared (or, during a Subordinate Control Period, finalized) by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.  In addition, in the event the Special Servicer is replaced during the prior calendar year, the Trust Advisor will only be required to prepare a Trust Advisor Annual Report relating to each 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 Trust Advisor Annual Report.  Each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upon receipt post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).  The Trust Advisor shall also deliver a copy of each Trust Advisor Annual Report to the Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.  The Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, shall be given an opportunity to review any annual report described in this Section 3.28(a)(ii) and produced by the Trust Advisor at least ten (10) days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator.
 
(iii)           The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative in connection with the Subordinate Class Representative’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the Certificates.  Subject to the permitted exceptions in the following sentence, the Trust Advisor shall not disclose such Privileged Information so received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then Holders of the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the other parties to this Agreement, to any trustee or certificate administrator appointed for the benefit of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and to the extent expressly required by the other provisions of this Agreement and other than under the circumstances described in the following sentence.  If the Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors or the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates, or any other party to this Agreement (other than the Special Servicer), receives any Privileged
 
 
-283-

 
 
Information and has been advised that such information is Privileged Information, then such Person shall be prohibited from disclosing such information so received by it to any other Person, including in connection with preparing any responses to any investor-submitted inquiries posted on the Investor Q&A Forum, except to the extent that (a) the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative have consented in writing to its disclosure, (b) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such Person, (c) it is reasonable and necessary for such Person to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (d) such Privileged Information was already known to such Person and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation, (e) such disclosure is expressly authorized or required under another provision of this Agreement and/or (f) such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of permitting the Trust Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement and so long as such Affiliates and any such subcontractors agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor.
 
(iv)          During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor shall provide the Special Servicer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date proposed for the annual meeting described in this Section 3.28(a).  The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall determine a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting and the Trust Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer, including the identity of the Final Asset Status Report(s), if any, that shall be discussed during the annual meeting.  In connection with the annual meeting, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports produced with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment of the Special Servicer.  The Special Servicer shall make available Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related platform-level information for each annual meeting described in this Section 3.28.
 
(v)           If the Trust Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Trust Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Trust Advisor or such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Trust Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Trust Advisor Annual Report.
 
(b)           During a Subordinate Control Period, the Trust Advisor’s obligations shall be limited to the general reviews as set forth in this Agreement and generally will not involve an assessment of specific actions of the Special Servicer and, in any event, shall be subject to limitations described in this Agreement.
 
(c)           The Trust Advisor shall not be required, in connection with its preparation of any Trust Advisor Annual Report during a Subordinate Control Period, to consider any
 
 
-284-

 
 
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report was not issued during the most recently ended calendar year.
 
(d)           During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) after they have been finalized, and the Trust Advisor may review such calculations in support of its Trust Advisor Annual Report but shall not opine on, or otherwise call into question (whether in the annual report or otherwise) such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations.
 
(e)           During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any calculations of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value to the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, and (a) the Trust Advisor shall (upon receipt of all information and supporting materials reasonably required to be provided to the Trust Advisor as described in the following sentence) promptly recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer, and (b) insofar as the calculation and/or application by the Special Servicer under review as contemplated by clause (a) requires or depends upon the exercise of discretion by the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall assess the reasonableness of the determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion.  The Special Servicer shall deliver the foregoing calculations, together with information and supporting materials (with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations, once such information is received from the Master Servicer) (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period) the Subordinate Class Representative.  In the event the Trust Advisor does not agree with (i) the mathematical calculations, (ii) the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation or (iii) the reasonableness of any such determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult in good faith with each other in order to resolve (x) any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or (y) any disagreement over the reasonableness of a determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of its discretion.  During any Collective Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall also send to the Subordinate Class Representative copies of the Special Servicer’s calculations and the related information and supporting materials, as provided above to the Trust Advisor under this subsection, and engage in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with its calculations and determinations.  During any Collective Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative agree on such matters and provide written notice of such agreement to the Special Servicer, the Special
 
 
-285-

 
 
Servicer shall perform its calculations in accordance with such agreement.  Otherwise, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative do not reach agreement on such matters following the Trust Advisor’s calculation and verification procedures, the Special Servicer shall proceed according to its determination, and the Trust Advisor shall promptly prepare a report on the matter, which report shall set forth its and the Special Servicer’s calculations (including any material differences in assumptions used therein), and deliver such report to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post the report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and, if applicable, to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.  No other action shall be required in connection with such circumstances.
 
(f)            During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor and, during a Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative.  The Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Reports, if any, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both such Asset Status Report and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives may be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if applicable), as a collective whole.  Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such actions as are in accordance with such Asset Status Report.
 
(g)           During any Collective Consultation Period (in addition to the Subordinate Class Representative) or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to, and prior to, Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Actions are covered by an Asset Status Report) and the Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of each such Material Action within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both a written request for consultation with respect to such Material Action and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor; provided that the Trust Advisor shall have no such duty with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement to the extent such actions do not relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.  Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such Material Actions as are in accordance with such request for consultation.
 
(h)           The Special Servicer shall consider any written alternative courses of action and any other feedback suggested or provided by the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative.  The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems necessary to take into account such input and/or comments, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Trust Advisor’s and/or
 
 
-286-

 
 
Subordinate Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders, taking into account the interests of all of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, as applicable), as a collective whole.
 
(i)           The Special Servicer shall not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Loan Combination or any other provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions or result in an Adverse REMIC Event for any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event for the Grantor Trust Pool.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor in any event.  Furthermore, notwithstanding Section 3.28(f) and 3.28(g), if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform the Trust Advisor of its decision to take emergency action.  The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.
 
(j)           The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the extent expressly set forth herein.
 
(k)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive monthly the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related successor REO Mortgage Loan accrued prior to the Trust Advisor’s termination in accordance with Section 3.28(p).  As to each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related successor REO Mortgage Loan, the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or successor REO Mortgage Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated thereon and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due or deemed thereon is computed.  The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Sections 6.03(a), 6.03(b) and/or 6.05 hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xiv), but in the case of any
 
 
-287-

 
 
Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses, reimbursements during any Collection Period shall not exceed the limit set forth for the related Distribution Date in Section 4.05(b) hereof.  The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control-Eligible Certificates; provided that Designated Trust Advisor Expenses shall be reimbursable without limitation from the Collection Account as described in Section 3.05(a)(xiv).  Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.
 
(l)            As additional compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee.  The Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable, subject to the limitations set forth below, in an amount equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor engages in consultation under Section 3.24 and this Section 3.28; provided that (i) no such fee shall be paid except to the extent such fee is actually paid by the applicable Borrower (and in no event shall such fee be paid from the Trust Fund); (ii) the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to waive all or any portion of such fee in its sole discretion; and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be authorized to waive the related Borrower’s payment of such fee in whole or in part if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (A) determines that such waiver accords with the Servicing Standard and (B) consults with the Trust Advisor prior to effecting such waiver.  In connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights under Section 3.24 or this Section 3.28, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower, in each case, only to the extent that such collection is not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan Documents.  In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, take any enforcement action in connection with the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee, except that this statement shall not be construed to prohibit requests for payment of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee.  No Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable with respect to the Westfield Palm Desert Loan Combination, the Depot Park Loan Combination or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination.
 
(m)           The Trust Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Trust Advisor with a replacement Trust Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Trust Advisor meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.28(o)), (ii) such requesting Holders making payment to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, (iii) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense) and (iv) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator an analogous “rating agency confirmation” from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency regarding the
 
 
-288-

 
 
appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense).  The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.  Upon the vote or written direction of Certificateholders entitled to at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee shall immediately replace the Trust Advisor with the replacement Trust Advisor.  If a proposed termination and replacement of the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect.  In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of any replacement Trust Advisor proposed pursuant to this Section 3.28(m) shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.
 
(n)           If (i) the Trust Advisor fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice has been given to the Trust Advisor, (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Trust Advisor, or (iii) the Trust Advisor acknowledges in writing its inability to perform its duties hereunder, then either the Depositor or the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall, terminate the Trust Advisor for cause.  Upon the termination of the Trust Advisor, a replacement Trust Advisor satisfying the conditions for such replacement in Section 3.28(o) below shall be selected by the Trustee.  In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the proposed replacement Trust Advisor shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.  The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Trust Advisor that it meets such criteria.  If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Trust Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Trust Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.  Unless and until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Trust Advisor and the provisions relating to consultation and consent with respect to the Trust Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed hereunder.
 
(o)           Any replacement Trust Advisor shall (or all of the personnel responsible for supervising the obligations of the Trust Advisor shall) meet the following criteria:  (i) be regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-
 
 
-289-

 
 
backed securities matters and have at least five (5) years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (ii) have at least five (5) years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets.
 
(p)           The Trust Advisor shall be discharged from its duties hereunder when the Class Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest have been reduced to zero.
 
(q)           The Trust Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, (the latter two only if applicable), and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Trust Advisor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.28(o) above and receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.  During a Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the replacement Trust Advisor will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Subordinate Class Representative only if the replacement Trust Advisor is a special servicer that (i) is not rated or approved by an NRSRO and (ii) has not acted as a trust advisor or operating advisor in connection with a rated commercial mortgage securitization as of the Closing Date; provided that such approval will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for such approval, and, if granted, such approval may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.  No such resignation by the Trust Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Trust Advisor shall have assumed the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations.  The resigning Trust Advisor shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency and Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of the Trust Advisor and the transfer of its duties (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with higher market fees of a successor, transferring related information, records and reports to the successor).
 
(r)           If the Trust Advisor resigns, is discharged or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees, Trust Advisor Expenses, indemnification amounts, and rights to indemnification which shall be payable in accordance with the priorities and subject to the limitations set forth herein including, without limitation, Section 4.05 hereof.
 
(s)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and that the goal of the Trust Advisor’s participation is to provide monitoring (subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement) relating to the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute, (ii) the Trust Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder or any Serviced Companion Loan Holders for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any
 
 
-290-

 
 
actions under this Agreement, (iii) the agreements of the Trust Advisor set forth in the other provisions of this Agreement shall be construed solely as agreements to perform analytical and reporting services, (iv) the Trust Advisor shall have no authority or duty to make a determination on behalf of the Trust Fund, nor have any responsibility for decisions made by or on behalf of the Trust Fund, (v) insofar as the words “consult”, “recommend” or words of similar import are used in this Agreement in respect of the Trust Advisor and any servicing action or inaction, such words shall be construed to mean the performance of analysis and reporting services, which the Special Servicer may determine not to accept, (vi) the absence of a response by the Trust Advisor to an Asset Status Report or other matter in which this Agreement contemplates consultation with the Trust Advisor shall not be construed as an approval, endorsement, acquiescence or recommendation for or against any proposed action (but, in the event of such absence of a response, the Special Servicer (x) shall be deemed to have complied with the relevant provision that otherwise required consultation with the Trust Advisor and (y) shall be entitled to proceed as if consultation with the Trust Advisor had not initially been required in connection with such Asset Status Report or other matter), (vii) any provision hereof that otherwise purports, or that may be construed, to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to consider the Servicing Standard or the interests of the Certificateholders shall be construed as a requirement to use the Servicing Standard or such interests as the basis of measurement in its analysis and reporting and the basis of measurement in its evaluation of the performance of the Special Servicer and its determination of whether an action, recommendation or report by the Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, and not to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to itself comply with the Servicing Standard or itself act in the interests of the Certificateholders, and, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and such basis of measurement shall be construed to refer to no particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, (viii) no other party to this Agreement, and no Subordinate Class Representative, shall have any duty to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trust Advisor of its services under this Agreement and (ix) the Trust Advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to any Person in connection with this Agreement.
 
(t)            The Trust Advisor shall not make any principal investment in any Certificate or interest therein; provided that such prohibition shall not be construed to have been violated (i) in connection with riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Trust Advisor or (ii) pursuant to investments by an Affiliate of the Trust Advisor if the Trust Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures designed to segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and to prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust Fund and the Trust Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.
 
(u)           The Trust Advisor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not, to enter into any transaction as a result of which (i) the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof would be obligated, whether by agreement or otherwise, and whether or not subject to any condition or contingency, to pay any fee to, or otherwise compensate or grant monetary or other consideration to, the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof (other than compensation to which the Trust Advisor is entitled hereunder) (x) in connection with the Trust Advisor’s obligations under this
 
 
-291-

 
 
Agreement or (y) in consideration of the appointment or continuation of such Person as the Special Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer would be entitled to receive any compensation from the Trust Advisor in connection with its activities under this Agreement or (iii) the Special Servicer would be entitled to receive from the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof any fee in connection with the appointment or continuation of such Person as Special Servicer unless, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such transaction has been expressly approved by the Holders of Certificates representing 100% of the Voting Rights.
 
(v)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Advisor shall have no duty with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, or the assessment of the actions of the Special Servicer under this Agreement or any applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement taken with respect to any such mortgage loan.

satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made, but subject to Section 3.32(d), after receiving the required notice from the Master Servicer set forth above that the Master Servicer became aware of or was named in any such claims or litigation, the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period) may direct the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in writing that such Litigation Control nevertheless be exercised by the Special Servicer; provided, however, that the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period)) has determined and advised the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer has reasonably concurred) that its actions with respect to such obligations are indemnifiable under Section 6.03 hereof, and accordingly, any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up until such date of transfer of Litigation Control to the Special Servicer) arising from the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control and not otherwise paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03 of this Agreement shall be payable by the Trust Fund; provided, further, so as long as the Trust Fund and any applicable Other Trustee are fully indemnified and/or made whole with respect to the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control from recoveries with respect to such legal action or claim, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be reimbursed up to the amount of compensation paid to the Special Servicer for assuming and handling such Litigation Control but only to the extent that such recoveries exceed the amount necessary to fully indemnify and make the Trust Fund whole.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control), as the case may be, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i.e., the party with Litigation Control), as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower under the related loan documents or otherwise relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan, Loan Combination or Mortgaged Property, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) is a necessary party in

respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall each have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim).  Subject to the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative under this Section 3.32, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to preclude either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from initiating any Litigation Control related action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as a representative of the Trust Fund.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction, objection of, or consent given or withheld by the Subordinate Class Representative shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan Documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, any related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and to maintain the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC, (ii) result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes, (iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Trust Fund or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Trustee’s or the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities under this Agreement; and neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by the Subordinate Class Representative, or initiate any such actions, that would have the effect described in clauses (i)(iv) of this sentence.

For purposes of the second preceding paragraph, the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, for the related Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that:  (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0.  If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.
 
For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is not related to an ARD Mortgage Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is related to an ARD Mortgage Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield.  If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.
 
(c)           All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.  Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related

Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of a Principal Balance Certificate, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made in a like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.  Prior to any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of which the Certificate Administrator was subsequently notified in writing.  If such check is returned to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check as it shall deem appropriate.  Any funds in respect of a check returned to the Certificate Administrator shall be set aside by the Certificate Administrator and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate Holder.  The costs and expenses of locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder.  If the Certificate Administrator has not, after having taken such reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the second anniversary of the initial sending of a check, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R Certificateholders.
 
(d)           Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.  Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent.  Each indirect participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Certificate Owners that it represents.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.  The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall perform their respective obligations under the letters of representation between the Issuer and the initial Depository dated as of the Closing Date and pertaining to the Book-Entry Certificates, a copy of which Letters of Representations are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
 
(e)           The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Fund with respect to the Certificates, and all rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.  Neither

the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates with respect to amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.
 
(f)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator receives written notification of or expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined, in the case of a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, mail to each Holder of record of such Class of Certificates on such date (with a copy to be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b)) a notice to the effect that:
 
(i)           the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at such other location therein specified, and
 
(ii)          no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Distribution Date.
 
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.  If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such non-tendering Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice thereto shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph.  If all of the Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject thereto.
 
(g)          All distributions made in respect of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest on each

(h)           On each Distribution Date, including the Final Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount for such date shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case to the extent of the remaining portions of such funds, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:
 
(i)            as deemed distributions of interest with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, all Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously deemed distributed, for all prior Distribution Dates;
 
(ii)           as deemed distributions of principal with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, as to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to the related Mortgage Loan(s) or REO Mortgage Loan(s); and

(iii)          as deemed distributions with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, pro rata in accordance with, and in reimbursement of, any Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses and Trust Advisor Expenses previously allocated to each such REMIC I Regular Interest (with compounded interest).
 
The portion of each Prepayment Premium and Yield Maintenance Charge that is distributed to any Class of Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall, in each case, be deemed to have been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interest(s) corresponding to the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in respect of which such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge was received or deemed received.
 
The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(h).  Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(h), actual distributions of funds from the REMIC Sub-Account of the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.

Section 4.03     P&I Advances.  (a)  On or before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall, subject to Section 4.03(c), either (i) remit from its own funds to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to Mortgage Loans and successor REO Mortgage Loans, if any, to be made by the Master Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make such P&I Advances, or (iii) make such P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that to the extent that amounts on deposit in the Collection Account were insufficient to pay the CREFC® License Fee on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall apply any P&I Advances required to be made by it on such P&I Advance Date pursuant to this Section 4.03 to pay the balance of such CREFC® License Fee.  Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made).  If, as of 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall not have made any P&I Advance required to be made by it on such date pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) (and shall not have delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee the Officer’s Certificate and other documentation related to a determination of nonrecoverability of a P&I Advance pursuant to Section 4.03(c) below) or shall not have remitted any portion of the
 
 
-316-

 
 
Master Servicer Remittance Amount required to be remitted by the Master Servicer on such date, then the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of such failure to the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission at facsimile number:  (704) 715-0034 and by telephone at (800) 326-1334 as soon as possible, but in any event before 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such P&I Advance Date.  If after such notice the Certificate Administrator does not receive the full amount of such P&I Advances by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Distribution Date, then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (but in any event before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) and the Trustee shall (not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date) make the portion of such P&I Advances that was required to be, but was not, made or remitted, as the case may be, by the Master Servicer with respect to the related Distribution Date.
 
With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall provide the Other Master Servicer and the Other Trustee under the Other Securitization with written notice of any P&I Advance relating to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.
 
(b)           The aggregate amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer (or by the Trustee, if the Master Servicer fails to do so) in respect of any Distribution Date, subject to Section 4.03(c) below, shall equal the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of any related Master Servicing Fees (and, in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor thereto, the Non-Trust Primary Servicing Fee and Non-Trust Trust Advisor fee payable under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), due or deemed due and net of any Post-ARD Additional Interest, as the case may be, in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on their respective Due Dates occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, in each case to the extent such amount was not Received by the Trust as of the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance that would otherwise be required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.  The determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) that it has made constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment.  In making such
 
 
-317-

 
 
recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain from the Special Servicer any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes.  Any determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and, if made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee (on or before the related P&I Advance Date in the case of a proposed P&I Advance) and, if such Nonrecoverable P&I Advance is with respect to a Mortgage Loan in any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) or, following the securitization of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Other Master Servicer (if applicable), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the nine (9) months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained.  A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Other Master Servicer (if applicable).  Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any nonrecoverability determination made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance.  The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make P&I Advances hereunder or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, comparable advances under the terms of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make P&I Advances may reasonably request.  The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance.
 
The Special Servicer for each Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I
 
 
-318-

 
 
Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee.  A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan.  The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.
 
(d)           In the case of each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (with its own funds), to the extent that such P&I Advance (i) relates to a Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment in respect of a Mortgage Loan that is a Past Grace Period Loan or an REO Mortgage Loan when made, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue from the related P&I Advance Date, or (ii) is made with respect to a Within Grace Period Loan and remains outstanding when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in either case, for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been Received by the Trust).  Such interest with respect to any P&I Advance shall be payable:  (i) first, in accordance with Section 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such P&I Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account.  The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself or the Trustee, as applicable, for any outstanding P&I Advance made thereby with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection was received by or on behalf of the Trust as of the related P&I Advance Date.
 
(e)           With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on the related Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.03(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, by the related Other Master Servicer.  If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, or if the Master Servicer receives written notice from the Special Servicer for such Serviced Loan
 
 
-319-

 
 
Combination that the Special Servicer has made such a determination, pursuant to this Section 4.03(e), the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the related Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination.  If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any related Other Master Servicer that such Other Master Servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee but each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.
 
In connection with any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
The Special Servicer for each Serviced Loan Combination or Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee.  A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan.  The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.
 
(f)           With regard to such P&I Advances, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall account for that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Past Grace Period Loans, and that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Within Grace Period Loans.
 
(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Pari Passu Companion Loan (whether or not it constitutes a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or otherwise) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan related thereto.
 
Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to Certificateholders to be

made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portions of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the Class Principal Balances of the Class G, Class F, Class E and Class D Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first).  If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the respective Class Principal Balances of all the outstanding Classes of the Class A Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero.  All reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest under this Section 4.04(a) shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.  Any reduction in the Class Principal Balance of the Class C Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.
 
(b)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(g), the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the

Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest G, REMIC II Regular Interest F, REMIC II Regular Interest E, REMIC II Regular Interest D, REMIC II Regular Interest C, REMIC II Regular Interest B and REMIC II Regular Interest A-S shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess (other than any portion thereof that exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period) or the related Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first).  If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest that are the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, as among such individual Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests, in accordance with their Uncertificated Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero.  All reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC II Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(b) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
 
(c)           On each Distribution Date, if, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(h), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of any REMIC I Regular Interest, in each case after taking account of such deemed distributions, exceeds the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, then, except to the extent that such excess exists (taking account of the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be reduced to equal such Stated Principal Balance of such related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount excluded from the aggregate reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests collectively shall equal the amount excluded from the reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above and such aggregate exclusion amount shall be deemed to be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pro rata according to their Stated Principal Balances that, in the absence of such any and all such exclusions, would have been outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date by operation of the immediately preceding sentence.  Any reductions in the

Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC I Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(c) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
 
Section 4.05     Allocation of Certain Trust Advisor Expenses.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) to reduce the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class E Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest and Class B Regular Interest Certificates, in that order, in each case, until the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class E Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest or Class B Regular Interest for such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero.  Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable on the Class A Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Interest Only Certificates or the Control-Eligible Certificates or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
To the extent that the amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable to the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest, Class D Certificates and Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be allocated to reduce the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise allocable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date.  Such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall reduce the Principal Distribution Amount for the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date, and shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates in the following order:  to the Class E and Class D Certificates, and then to the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests, in each case, until the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates or Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest has been reduced to zero.  Following the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the foregoing Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests to zero, the Certificate Administrator shall allocate any remaining Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances), until the remaining Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, have been reduced to zero.  Any Excess Trust Advisor Expenses allocated to the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.05(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular

Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.
 
Any Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) or Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates (which are not Control-Eligible Certificates) shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the respective Certificates.  If amounts distributable in respect of the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and Class D and Class E Certificates and otherwise available as the indicated portion of the Principal Distribution Amount are insufficient to reimburse any related Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) on a Distribution Date, any unreimbursed Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution Date that such applicable amounts are available.  In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Control-Eligible Certificates.
 
(b)           On any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise distributable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests and (ii) the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest as a result of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D and Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date.  Any amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds are sufficient, in accordance with Section 4.05(a), to make such payments.
 
(c)           To the extent that any actual recoveries of previously-incurred Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) are received from a source other than the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period related to any Distribution Date, such amounts shall be applied, first, as provided in Section 4.01(a) to reimburse the Holders of any Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component), the Class B Regular Interest (and therefore the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component) and the Class C Regular Interest (and therefore the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component) that suffered write-offs in connection with Trust Advisor Expenses, and any portion of such recovery remaining after such application shall be considered in the calculation of the Interest Distribution Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and the Class D and Class E Certificates, as and to the extent set forth in the definition of Interest Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date (with the actual payment of such portion to be made to the Holders of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and Class D and/or Class E Certificates to the

extent required under the combined operation of the definition of Interest Distribution Amount and the provisions of Section 4.01(a) other than the final paragraph of Section 4.01(a)).
 
Section 4.06     Calculations.  Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 and the actual and deemed allocations of Trust Advisor Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.05.  The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement.  Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.  The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.06 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

(C)           Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
 
(D)           Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
(E)           Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest, agrees to give the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder”.

(B)           If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d), then, to the extent that retroactive restoration of the rights of the preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Certificate Administrator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Transfer of such Class R Certificate to a Permitted Transferee selected by the Certificate Administrator on such terms as the Certificate Administrator may choose, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate as a result of the Certificate Administrator’s exercise of such discretion.  Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Administrator.  Such

(e)           If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator (or such Certificate Owner) to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as appropriate, of this Section 5.02.

Section 6.06     Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its officers as are responsible for such obligations.  Upon reasonable request and as reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent publicly available annual audited financial statements (or, if not available, the most recent publicly available audited annual financial statements of its corporate parent) and such other information as is publicly available regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may affix to any such information described in this Section 6.06 provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.  The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee.  The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
Section 6.07     Master Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates.  The Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.  If, at any time during which the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take any action (including for this purpose, omitting to take a particular action) that is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), violate the Servicing Standard, but that, if taken, might nonetheless, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may (but need not) seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee) a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.07, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by an Affiliate thereof and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take.  The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate), together with a request for approval by the Certificateholders of each such proposed action.  If at
 
 
-350-

 
 
any time Certificateholders entitled to greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be) shall have consented in writing (with a copy to each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard.  The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph.  It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

-352-

 
 
(vii)         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, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
 
(viii)        the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(x)           any of DBRS, KBRA or Moody’s (or, in the case of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, any Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Rated Certificates or any class of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Rated Certificates or any class of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in contemplation of possible rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement shall not have been withdrawn by DBRS, KBRA, Moody’s or such Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, as applicable, within sixty (60) days of such event), and, in case of either of clause (A) or (B), has publicly cited servicing concerns with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

-353-

 
 
applicable (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer), is required to deliver (it being acknowledged that any Sub-Servicing Entity that defaults as described in this clause (xiv) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor).
 
When a single entity acts as two or more of the capacities of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, a Servicer Termination Event (other than an event described in clause (x) above) in one capacity shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event in both or all such capacities.
 
(b)           If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of either the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, at the written direction of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related Loan Combination, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred, at the written direction of the Subordinate Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) on the part of the Affected Party has occurred, at the written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall, terminate, by notice in writing to the Affected Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of the rights and obligations (accruing from and after receipt by the Affected Party of such notice) of the Affected Party under this Agreement (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, entitlements to amounts payable to the terminated party at the time of termination and any entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination including any Excess Servicing Fee Rights).  From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice, all of the responsibilities, duties, authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement (and in the case of a termination of the Special Servicer at the written direction of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, solely as they relate to such Serviced Loan Combination), whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans or otherwise (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as a Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if applicable), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise (provided that each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).  Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in
 
 
-354-

 
 
any event no later than twenty (20) days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested thereby to enable the Trustee to assume the functions hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, including the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, the Distribution Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or by the Special Servicer to the REO Account, the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).  Any costs or expenses (including those of any other party hereto or successor master servicer or special servicer) incurred in connection with any actions to be taken by a terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (including, but not limited to, in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor master servicer or special servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Borrowers, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor master servicer or special servicer) shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (and, in the case of the Trustee’s costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time, shall be borne by the Trust out of the Collection Account).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04, the Trustee shall not waive any Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) without the prior written consent of the Depositor.  If a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xi) occurs on the part of the Master Servicer, or if any other Servicer Termination Event occurs on the part of the Master Servicer affecting a Serviced Loan Combination and the Master Servicer is not terminated pursuant to the provisions set forth above, whether as a result of a waiver or otherwise, any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to require the Master Servicer to appoint, in accordance with Section 3.22 and with the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation (and an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities backed by the affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)), a Sub-Servicer to be selected by the Master Servicer, that will be responsible for primary servicing such Serviced Loan Combination.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, if the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) and the terminated Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within the five (5) Business Days after such termination, then the Master
 
 
-355-

 
 
Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) obtained by the terminated Master Servicer (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the subject Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement.  The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination.  The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all applicable Sub-Servicers to continue the sub-servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of any Serviced Mortgage Loans not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced, the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate (or, (i) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the sum of the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate and the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate or (ii) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate) minus the sum of one (1) basis point and the related Excess Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of terminating each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement and each applicable Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.22 and having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”).  The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing-Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder.  The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Master Servicer.
 
(d)           Upon the assignment and acceptance of the master servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).
 
(e)           If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within forty-five (45) days after the Master Servicer received a notice of
 
 
-356-

 
 
termination or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 45-day period, the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 7.01(c).  The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.
 
Section 7.02     Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.  On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04(a) (and a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not been appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under Section 6.04), or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, if the Master Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances; provided that (i) any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to cooperate or to provide information or monies as required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder and (ii) in the case of a terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall cease to act as successor Master Servicer if an alternative successor is appointed pursuant to Section 7.01(c).  Neither the Trustee nor any other successor shall be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee or any other successor be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which the resigning or terminated party would have been entitled to for future services rendered if the resigning or terminated party had continued to act hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, if it is unwilling to so act, the Trustee may (and, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as an acceptable master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of all the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) (or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) so requests in writing, the Trustee shall), promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established and qualified institution as the successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that such appointment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency).  No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.  In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor
 
 
-357-

 
 
shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder.  The Depositor, the Trustee, such successor and each other party hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer and if the Excess Servicing Fee Rate is a rate per annum that is greater than zero (0) basis points, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation.  If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.
 
Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders.  (a)  Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 7.02 or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly notify (i) the Certificate Administrator, who shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, (ii) the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall promptly post such information on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c) and (iii) to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.
 
(b)           Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, who shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.
 
Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Event. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) may waive such Servicer Termination Event without the consent of any other Person; provided, however that:
 
(a)           a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii) and clause (x) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders);

-358-

 
 
(c)           the Depositor shall be exclusively entitled to waive any Servicer Termination Event described in Section 7.01(a)(xii) (but if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the Pari Passu Companion Loan is the subject of an Other Securitization, the Depositor may not grant such a waiver without the consent of each Other Depositor with respect to each Other Securitization);
 
(d)           no waiver of any Servicer Termination Event by one or more Persons will have any force or effect unless and until the Person requesting the waiver at its own expense has reimbursed the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any monies spent by them in connection with such Servicer Termination Event, together with interest thereon from and including the date so spent to but excluding the date of reimbursement.
 
Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if registered in the name of any other Person.
 
Section 7.05     Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Servicer Termination Event.  During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right (exercisable subject to Section 8.01(a)), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust (in the case of any matter affecting a Serviced Loan Combination) on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and such participants  (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event.

such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.  Any permissive right of the Trustee contained in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.  The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator.

-364-

 
 
Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (except as regards the enforceability of this Agreement against it) or of any Certificate (other than as to the signature of the Certificate Administrator set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, or any funds (other than with respect to any funds held by the Certificate Administrator) deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it is acting in such capacity).  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement (other than insofar as it relates to the representations and warranties of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder) or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of any security, lien or security interest granted to it hereunder or the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, except to the extent set forth in Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(e) or to the extent the Trustee is acting as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would be so responsible hereunder.  Except as contemplated by Section 12.02(a), none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be required to record this Agreement.

Section 8.05     Fees and Expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator; Indemnification of and by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit therein, prior to any distributions to be made therefrom to Certificateholders on such date, and pay to itself all Certificate Administrator Fees, and to the Trustee all Trustee Fees, earned in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Mortgage Loans through the end of the then most recently ended calendar month as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder.  The Trustee Fee shall be paid by the Certificate Administrator and shall be a portion of the Certificate Administrator Fee.  As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator Fee shall accrue during each calendar month, commencing with March 2015, at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate on a principal amount equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, immediately following the Distribution Date in such calendar month (or, in the case of March 2015, on a principal amount equal to the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the particular Mortgage Loan).  The Trustee Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee accrued during each calendar month shall be payable in the next succeeding calendar month.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate
 
 
-365-

 
 
Administrator Fee shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to the accrual or deemed accrual of interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be.  The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Certificate Administrator Fee (the latter of which includes the Tax Administrator Fee) shall constitute the sole compensation of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, respectively, for such services to be rendered by it.  The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the payment of the Tax Administrator Fee.
 
Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, cost or expense that is, pursuant to the prior paragraph, required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or the Collection Account, relates to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or the Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination).  Insofar as any such loss, liability, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Account or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, cost or expense into the Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(b)           The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates are entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and/or the Distribution Account, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, for and against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, reasonable counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it incurs any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) or any act or omission of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the rights and duties, including the appointment of a replacement Trust Advisor, of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (1) allocable overhead, such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses, employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses, (2) any cost or expense that does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of
 
 
-366-

 
 
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (3) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (4) any loss, liability, claim or expense incurred by reason of any breach on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Tax Administrator’s obligations and duties hereunder.
 
(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity), and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement, including the negligent use by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of any powers of attorney delivered to it by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, if the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 8.05(b) above, then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this Section 8.05(c) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have committed negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense).
 
(d)           Each of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall indemnify each of the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and each other (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity) and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Tax Administrator’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement; provided that if such indemnified person has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as the case may be, then the indemnity in favor of such Person otherwise provided for in this Section 8.05(d) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.
 
(e)           The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate

(f)           This Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as regards rights and obligations prior to such termination, resignation or removal.

Following the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder(s) shall have the right to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.  If the Sole Certificateholder(s) elect(s) to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder(s), not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts then due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator and/or the Trustee hereunder (and their respective agents) that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(b), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account.  In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b).  Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all the Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof), the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder(s) as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof).  For federal income tax purposes, such surrender and release shall be treated as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for an amount of cash equal to all amounts due in respect thereof after the distribution of amounts remaining in the Distribution Account, and a crediting of such amounts as a final distribution on all remaining REMIC I

(c)           Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to Certificateholders posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and mailed (x) if such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates and (y) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in any event specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment on the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Administrator therein designated.  The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the other parties hereto at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
 
(d)           Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that is allocable to payments on the relevant Class in accordance with Section 4.01.  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of any Class on the Final Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.  If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder.  If by the second anniversary of the delivery of such second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.
 
Section 9.02     Additional Termination Requirements.  (a)  If any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer, and/or the Special Servicer purchase(s), or the Sole Certificateholder(s) exchange(s) all of the Certificates for, all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination,

(b)           By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders of the Certificates hereby authorize the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator to prepare and adopt, on behalf of the Trust, a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool in the form of the notice of termination provided for in Section 9.01(c) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

under the Code or any compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authorities.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator.
 
(b)           The Tax Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Tax Administrator from the assets in the Grantor Trust Pool, unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).
 
(c)           The Tax Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Tax Administrator) and timely file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust Pool.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.  Except as provided in Section 10.02(h), 10.02(i) and 10.02(j), the Tax Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing IRS Form 1041, indicating the name and address of the Trust and signed by the Tax Administrator but otherwise left blank, IRS Form 1099 or any other such form as may be applicable.  There shall be appended to each such form a schedule for each Certificateholder indicating such Certificateholder’s share of income and expenses of the Trust for the portion of the preceding calendar year in which such Certificateholder possessed an Ownership Interest in a Certificate.  Such form shall be prepared in sufficient detail to enable reporting on the cash or accrual method of accounting, as applicable, and to report on such Certificateholder’s fiscal year if other than the calendar year.
 
(d)           The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the Tax Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool as is in its possession and reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this Section 10.02.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten (10) days following the Tax Administrator’s request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Tax Administrator such information as is reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator for tax purposes, and the Tax Administrator’s duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this Section 10.02 shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the Tax Administrator to perform such obligations.
 
(e)           The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority, including the furnishing to Certificateholders of the schedules described in Section 10.02(c).

-390-

 
 
Tax Administrator, Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust Pool to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Tax Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the Tax Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event.  None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that the Tax Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Tax Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur.  The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund, the Tax Administrator or the Trustee.
 
(g)           If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust Pool pursuant to the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by:  (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances.  Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.
 
(h)           The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT.  The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  The Certificate Administrator shall provide such information in its possession to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  With respect to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates, if the Tax Administrator receives notice that any such Certificate is held through a nominee, the Tax Administrator will treat such nominee as the “middleman” with respect to such certificate unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the
 
 
-391-

 
 
Depositor provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders.  The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph or that the notice received with respect to any such Certificate as described above is incorrect.
 
(i)             The Tax Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method.  The Tax Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method.  The Tax Administrator will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually.  In addition, the Tax Administrator will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
 
(j)             The Tax Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to:  (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Tax Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Tax Administrator.  Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Tax Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale.  Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Tax Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
 
(k)            To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Tax Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT.  The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will not publish any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received.  Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Tax Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP.  The Tax Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.
 
Section 10.03     The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee to Cooperate with the Tax Administrator.  (a)  The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Tax Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Tax Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and Issue Prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.

(b)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information in its possession, and access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties under this Article X.
 
(c)           The Tax Administrator shall be responsible for obtaining a tax identification number for any REMIC or Grantor Trust specified herein, and shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Tax Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to indemnify and hold harmless the Certification Parties from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement,
 
 
-412-

 
 
as applicable or (ii) other than with respect to Designated Sub-Servicers, any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such Servicing Function Participant.
 
If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI.  The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.
 
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails, within a reasonable period of time, to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.  
 
 
-413-

 
 
However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement.  If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

successor entity under the Agreement), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, beginning on the First Distribution Date specified above, distributions will be made on that date (the “Distribution Date”) each month that is the fourth Business Day following the Determination Date in such month, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to all the Holders of the Class R Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.  All distributions made under the Agreement on this Certificate will be made by the Certificate Administrator by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final distribution.

A-2-4

 
 
exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such other securities laws.  If a Transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then (except in limited circumstances specified in the Agreement) the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either:  (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2A to the Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2B to the Agreement; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that such prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.
 
None of the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Advisor is obligated to register or qualify the Class R Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein without registration or qualification.  Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a Transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and the Trust Advisor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or the provisions described above.
 
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall be deemed by its acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of this Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator (i) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and (ii) to negotiate the terms of any mandatory disposition, to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such disposition.  Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 to the Agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee
 
 
A-2-5

 

or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.  Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.  In connection therewith, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to any entity classified as a partnership under the Code unless at the time of transfer, all of its beneficial owners are, and under the partnership agreements are required to be, United States Securities Persons.
 
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest herein unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.  Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
 
If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate.
 
The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following:  (a) a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
A “Permitted Transferee” is any Transferee other than a “Disqualified Organization”, a “Disqualified Non-United States Tax Person” or a “Disqualified Partnership” (each as defined in the Agreement) and other than a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (each within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty) of a United States Tax Person or any other Person as to whom the transfer of this Certificate may cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
 
 
A-2-6

 
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Certificate, but the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Certificate.
 
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the Master Servicer, in its sole discretion.  The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein.  The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of (i) the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights

allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and without the consent of any of the Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary and (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders  materially affected by the amendment.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)
 
1.           The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
 
2.           DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, 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 the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
 
3.           Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.
 
4.           To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Schedule A
(To Issuer Letter of Representations)
 
5.           Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]
 
[6.          Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
 
7.           Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
 
8.           Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
[9.          A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]
 
10.         DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
 
11.         Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
 
12.         The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Attention: Underwriting Department
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to the Securities represented by the CUSIP number(s) referenced above (the “Securities”). Issuer requests that The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC.
 
Issuer is: (Note: Issuer must represent one and cross out the other.)

The DTC Clearing Participant                                                   See Rider 1                                                         will distribute the Securities through DTC.
 
To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC, and to act in accordance with DTC’s Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer represents to DTC that Issuer will comply with the requirements stated in DTC’s Operational Arrangements, as they may be amended from time to time.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

4.           The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
 
(a)           the following instruments and interests shall be excluded:  securities of issuers that are affiliated with such entity; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by such entity, if such entity is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of such entity’s “family of investment companies”, if such entity is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;
 
(b)           the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;
 
(c)           securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.
 
5.           The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
 
6.           The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c) the

2.           The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000, in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to in paragraph 4 below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.  For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at market.
 
 
___
The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $____ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
 
 
___
The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies which owned in the aggregate $____ in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
 
3.           The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority-owned
 
 
C-2B-7

 
 
subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority-owned subsidiary of the other).
 
4.           The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement, and (vi) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps.  For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.
 
5.           The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the Transferor and other parties related to the Transferred Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more Transfers to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.
 
___       ___         Will the Transferee be acquiring interests in the Transferred Certificates only for the Transferee’s own account?
Yes       No           
 
6.           If the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, then in each case where the Transferee is acquiring any interest in the Transferred Certificates for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
 
7.           The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.  Until such notice, the Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in the Transferred Certificates will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such acquisition.

2.           The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [___]% of the Residual Interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as “REMIC I”, “REMIC II” and “REMIC III”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election has been or is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2015 among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as Trust Advisor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee.  All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you as Certificate Registrar, as follows:

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right with respect to the _________________ Mortgage Loan[s] established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as Trust Advisor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the applicable Master Servicer, that:
 
1.           The Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner
 
 
F-3B-1

 
 
which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.
 
2.           The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

7.           The Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such holder’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however, that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.

REMIC I
 
As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the segregated pool of assets described in the first (1st) paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof (including the Mortgage Loans (other than any Excess Interest payable with respect to such Mortgage Loans) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC (“REMIC I”).  The REMIC I Regular Interests will be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC I and the Class R Certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
 
Each REMIC I Regular Interest will relate to, and constitute the “Corresponding REMIC I Regular Interest” with respect to, a separate specific Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan and any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that may replace such Mortgage Loan) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (including any successor REO B Note).  Each REMIC I Regular Interest will have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the applicable REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate from time to time, an initial REMIC I Principal Amount equal to the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note to which such REMIC I Regular Interest relates, and a “latest possible maturity date” set to the Rated Final Distribution Date.  The Class R Certificates will have no principal amount and no Pass-Through Rate, but (insofar as such Certificates represent the REMIC I Residual Interest) will entitle Holders thereof to receive the proceeds of any assets remaining in REMIC I after all the REMIC I Regular Interests have been paid in full.

REMIC II
 
As provided herein, with respect to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will make an election for the segregated pool of assets described in the second (2nd) paragraph of Section 12.1(a) hereof consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a REMIC (“REMIC II”).  The REMIC II Regular Interests will be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC II and the Class R Certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
 
The following table sets forth the designation, the initial REMIC II Principal Amount, the corresponding Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Class 555 Certificates (the “Corresponding Certificates”) and corresponding Class X REMIC III Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Class X REMIC III Regular Interest”) with respect to each REMIC II Regular Interest.  Each REMIC II Regular Interest other than the Class 555 REMIC II Regular Interests shall have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the Weighted Average REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate from time to time.  Each Class 555 REMIC II Regular Interest shall have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the REMIC I Net Mortgage Rate for the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note.  The Class R Certificates will have no principal amount and no Pass-Through Rate, but (insofar as such Certificates represent the REMIC II Residual Interest) will entitle Holders thereof to receive the proceeds of any assets remaining in REMIC II after all the REMIC II Regular Interests have been paid in full.

The parties hereto further acknowledge that if a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or A Note, as applicable, is no longer part of the Trust or is no longer serviced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall have no further obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan or A Note, as applicable.
 
(b)           For the avoidance of doubt and subject to subsection (a) above, the parties acknowledge that the rights and duties of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer under Article VIII and Article IX and the obligation of the Master Servicer to make Advances, insofar as such rights, duties and obligations relate to any A/B Whole Loan (including both the related A Note and the related B Note) or Loan Pair, shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may be: (i) any repurchase of or substitution for the related A Note or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan (in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, together with the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) by the applicable Seller pursuant to Section 2.3; (ii) any purchase of the related A Note or Serviced Pari Passu Loan by the owner of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (iii) any payment in full of any and all amounts due (or deemed due) under the related A Note or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan (in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, together with the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan (or REO B Note) including amounts to
 
 
127

 
 
which the holder of such A Note or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan (or 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) is entitled under the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that this statement shall not limit (A) the duty of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to deliver or make available the reports otherwise required of it hereunder with respect to the Collection Period in which such event occurs or (B) the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that may otherwise accrue or arise in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair prior to the date on which such event occurs.
 
(c)           In connection with any purchase described in clause (ii) of Section 1.6(b) or an event described in clause (iii) of Section 1.6(b), the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to (in the case of a purchase under such clause (ii)) the related purchaser (provided that the related purchaser shall have paid the full amount of the applicable purchase price) or (in the case of such clause (iii)) to the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or B Note (if then still outstanding), after delivery to them of a receipt executed by such purchaser or holder, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to such purchaser or holder (or the designee of such purchaser or holder) in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which documents were previously assigned to the Trustee by the related Seller, but in any event, without recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by such party shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, convey to such purchaser or such holder any deposits then held in an Escrow Account relating to the applicable A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair. If a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW B Note) or an A Note and the related B Note are then REO Loans, then the Special Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, convey to such purchaser or such holder, in each case, to the extent not needed to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement, deposits then held in the REO Account insofar as they relate to the related REO Property.
 
(d)           If an expense under this Agreement relates, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, primarily to the administration of the Trust or any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or provisions relating to the grantor trust or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense or grantor trust tax or expense with respect to any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder, then such expense shall not be allocated to, deducted or reimbursed from, or otherwise charged against the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) and such holder shall not suffer any adverse consequences as a result of the payment of such expense; provided, that any such indemnification paid out of collections on, or other proceeds of, the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall be paid in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement.
 
 
128

 
 
(e)           With respect to the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Loan Pair, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Mortgage Loan is pari passu in right of payment with the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Serviced Companion Loan to the extent set forth in the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Intercreditor Agreement. At no time shall any holder of the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Serviced Companion Loan be the Loan-Specific Directing Holder for the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Loan Pair; provided, that, the holder of the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Serviced Companion Loan shall have certain limited non-binding consultation rights (and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate in light of the circumstances, shall use reasonable efforts to consult with such holder to the extent such holder requests consultation) as and to the extent set forth in the Westfield Palm Desert Mall Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(f)           With respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan is pari passu in right of payment with the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan to the extent set forth in the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the 555 11th Street NW B Note is generally subordinate in right of payment to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan (and the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note is generally subordinate in right of payment to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) to the extent set forth in the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement. The Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair will be the “Controlling Holder” under the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that if at any time the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is the “Controlling Holder” under the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement and such B Note is an asset of the Trust Fund, the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair will be the Class 555 Directing Holder. The Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair shall at all times have consent rights and the right to direct the Master Servicer and Special Servicer with respect to the administration of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair as and to the extent set forth in the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement.
 
In acting as the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the Class 555 Directing Holder shall not be entitled to exercise any cure option or purchase right of the “Controlling Holder” under the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement; however, the Class 555 Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the right of such “Controlling Holder” under Section 20(c) of the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement to avoid a “Control Appraisal Event” under the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement by posting with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, cash collateral or an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit payable on sight demand (“threshold collateral reserve”) in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to this Agreement, would cause the applicable “Control Appraisal Event” not to occur. For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, any such threshold collateral reserve shall qualify as an “outside reserve fund,” shall not be an asset of any REMIC described herein, and such Class 555 Directing Holder shall be the owner of such outside reserve fund.
 
In addition, so long as the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is an asset of the Trust Fund, any Class of Class 555 Certificates, the Certificate Balance of which (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance (or, with
 
 
129

 
 
respect to the Class 555A Certificates, if the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note ceases to be the “Control Note” under the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement) is referred to as a “Class 555 Appraised-Out Class.” The Holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of a Class 555 Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to present to the Special Servicer a second Appraisal of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair (such Holders, the “Class 555 Requesting Holders”) prepared by an MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  Upon receipt of such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction is warranted, and if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such second Appraisal.  If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class 555 Appraised-Out Class (together with any other Class of Class 555 Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction) will have the related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction, and there shall be a redetermination of whether such Class 555 Appraised-Out Class is the Class 555 Controlling Class.  The right of any Class 555 Appraised-Out Class to present a second Appraisal of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair is limited to one Appraisal with respect to each Mortgaged Property relating to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair.
 
In addition, if subsequent to a Class of Class 555 Certificates becoming a Class 555 Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to the Mortgaged Property securing the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair related to the Appraisal Reduction that caused such Class to become a Class 555 Appraised-Out Class, the Class 555 Requesting Holders shall have the right, at their sole expense, to present to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by an MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to such Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such additional Appraisal.  If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class 555 Appraised-Out Class (together with any other Class of Class 555 Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction) shall have the related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction, and there shall be a redetermination of whether such Class 555 Appraised-Out Class is the Class 555 Controlling Class.  With respect to each Class of Class 555 Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with additional MAI Appraisals as provided above at the sole cost and expense of the applicable Class 555 Requesting Holders upon the occurrence of any material event that the Special Servicer confirms is a material event shall be limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period.
 
Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by any Class 555 Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard upon the occurrence of such material change or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisals requests made by any Class 555 Requesting Holders.
 
 
130

 
 
Any Class 555 Appraised-Out Class may not exercise any rights of the Class 555 Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Class 555 Controlling Class; and the rights of the Class 555 Controlling Class shall be exercised by the next most senior Class of Class 555 Certificates that is not a Class 555 Appraised-Out Class, if any.
 
(g)          With respect to the Discovery Business Center Non-Serviced Loan Combination, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Discovery Business Center Mortgage Loan is pari passu in right of payment with the Discovery Business Center Non-Serviced Companion Loan to the extent set forth in the Discovery Business Center Intercreditor Agreement. The Discovery Business Center Directing Holder shall at all times have consent rights and the right to direct the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect to the administration of the Discovery Business Center Non-Serviced Loan Combination as and to the extent set forth in the Discovery Business Center Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that, during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have certain limited non-binding consultation rights (and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer or the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, as appropriate in light of the circumstances, shall be required to consult with the Controlling Class Representative to the extent the Controlling Class Representative requests consultation in accordance with the terms of the Discovery Business Center Intercreditor Agreement) as and to the extent set forth in the Discovery Business Center Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(h)            Any Other Depositor, Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer, Other Certificate Administrator, Other Trustee and Other Trust Advisor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Other Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified by the Trust against any 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 the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement (or, with respect to the related Other Trust Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (but excluding any such losses allocable to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans) to the extent of its pro rata share of such indemnified items; provided, that such indemnification will not extend to any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses: (i) specifically required to be borne by such party, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms of the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by such person under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such person’s obligations and duties under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. There are no Other Indemnified Parties related to the Trust as of the Closing Date.
 
(i)            Promptly following the Closing Date, with respect to any Loan Pair, the Master Servicer shall deliver to any holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (or Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee on its behalf) and, with respect to the
 
 
131

 
 
555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note, written notice of the securitization of the related Mortgage Loan stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be accompanied by the name and contact information of each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.
 
(j)           To the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement for a Loan Pair or a Non-Serviced Loan Combination are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full.
 
Section 1.7     Rating Agency Confirmations.
 
(a)           Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (i) such Requesting Party shall (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request or such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates it is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, (x) with respect to any such condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans), as applicable) shall determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether or not such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, Certificateholders and any holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and B Note or Serviced Companion Loan holder constituted a single lender), and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of such parties, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will be deemed not to apply, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be deemed to be satisfied (i) if Morningstar is the non-responding Rating Agency, such replacement master servicer or special servicer is acting as master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by an NRSRO within the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of determination and Morningstar has not qualified,
 
 
132

 
 
downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating or ratings of one or more classes of such commercial mortgage-backed certificates citing servicing concerns with the replacement master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action; (ii) if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, the applicable replacement is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the Master Servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the Special Servicer); or (iii) if neither Fitch nor Morningstar is the non-responding Rating Agency, if the non-responding Rating Agency has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other CMBS transaction rated by such non-responding Rating Agency and serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination.
 
Promptly following the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination to take any action discussed in this Section 1.7(a) following any requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation being considered satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider of the action taken for the particular item at such time, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 5.7 of this Agreement.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral), release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been required to make the determination described in Section 1.7(a) shall be deemed not to apply regardless of any such determination by the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans), as applicable); provided, that the Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall in any event review the other conditions required under the related Mortgage Loan documents with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied.

If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the applicable Seller shall, pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the applicable Seller shall, at its own expense (except in the case of a document or instrument that is lost by the Custodian), upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.
 
The parties acknowledge the obligation of each Seller pursuant to Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver to or on behalf of the Trustee, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Closing Date, five (5) limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 4 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in favor of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and the Special Servicer to empower the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) and, in the event of the failure or incapacity of the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Special Servicer, to submit, or to cause the Custodian to submit for recording, at the expense of the applicable Seller, any mortgage loan documents required to be recorded as set forth in the preceding paragraph and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon that are required to be included in the Mortgage Files (so long as original counterparts have previously been delivered to or on behalf of the Trustee). The Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with the Custodian, the Trustee and the Special Servicer in connection with any additional powers of attorney or revisions thereto that are requested by such parties for purposes of such recordation. The Trustee and each other party hereto agrees that no such power of attorney shall be used with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note by or under authorization by any party hereto except to the extent that the absence of a document described in the second (2nd) preceding sentence with respect to such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, remains unremedied as of the earlier of (i) the date that is 180 days following the delivery of notice of such absence to the related Seller, but in no event earlier than 18 months from the Closing Date, and (ii) the date (if any) on which such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Custodian shall submit such documents for recording, at the related Seller’s expense, after the periods set forth above; provided, the Custodian shall not submit such assignments for recording if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and certifies that it is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office. Each of the Sellers has engaged a separate third party agent other than the Custodian or the Trustee to perform the recording obligations described in this Section 2.1(c).
 
(d)           All relevant servicing or loan documents and records in the possession of the Depositor or the Sellers that relate to the Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Loans or B Notes and that are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, on or before the date that is forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent delivered to the Master Servicer by the related Seller, the Servicer Mortgage File shall include, to the extent required to be (and actually) delivered to the applicable Seller pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan
 
 
137

 
 
documents, copies of each item set forth in the definition of “Servicer Mortgage File” in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall be required to deliver any draft documents, or any attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses or attorney work product, or internal communications of the Seller or its affiliates among themselves or with their respective attorneys, or credit underwriting or other analyses or data (and, if received, shall be returned and any copies thereof destroyed). Delivery of any of the foregoing documents to a sub-servicer shall be deemed delivery to the Master Servicer and satisfy the Depositor’s obligations under this Section 2.1(d). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the absence of any of the foregoing items from the Servicer Mortgage File if such item was not delivered by the related Seller.
 
Schedule XVIII attached hereto lists the Mortgaged Properties that, as of the Closing Date, are hospitality properties and that are subject to a franchise, management or similar agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trust or otherwise have a new comfort letter issued in the name of the Trust. The Mortgage Loans secured by such Mortgaged Properties are referred to herein as the “Franchise Mortgage Loans.” Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement requires that the related Seller (solely in respect of the Franchise Mortgage Loans it is selling to the Depositor) or its designee shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter) and with a copy to the Master Servicer, notify the related franchisor in writing that such Franchise Mortgage Loan has been transferred to the Trust and request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).
 
(e)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the Closing Date a copy of a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect on the Closing Date, which Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements shall contain the representations and warranties (and the exceptions thereto) made by the Sellers with respect to each related Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date.
 
(f)           In connection herewith, the Depositor has acquired the MSMCH Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note from MSMCH, the BANA Loans from BANA, the CIBC Loans from CIBC and the SMF III Loans from SMF III. The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered the original Mortgage Notes (or lost note affidavits with copies of the related Mortgage Notes, as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File”) relating to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), endorsed as otherwise provided herein, to effect the transfer to the Trustee of such Mortgage Notes and all related deeds of trust, mortgages and other loan documents. To avoid the unnecessary expense and administrative inconvenience associated with the execution and recording or filing of multiple assignment documents, BANA, MSMCH, CIBC and SMF III, as applicable, are required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements to deliver Assignments
 
 
138

 
 
of Mortgages, and assignments of Assignments of Leases and assignments of UCC financing statements naming the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as assignee. Notwithstanding the fact that such Assignments of Mortgages, assignments of Assignments of Leases (to the extent separate from the Assignments of Mortgages) and assignments of UCC financing statements shall name the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, as the assignee, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that for all purposes the MSMCH Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall be deemed to have been transferred from MSMCH to the Depositor, the BANA Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from BANA to the Depositor, the CIBC Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from CIBC to the Depositor, and the SMF III Loans shall be deemed to have been transferred from SMF III to the Depositor, and all Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall be deemed to have been transferred from the Depositor to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
 
Section 2.2     Acceptance by Trustee. The Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) hereby acknowledges receipt of a Trust Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and confirms that, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, all documents listed in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession. Within ten (10) days of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall provide a copy of all documents listed in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the Master Servicer. The Custodian will hold (i) the documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Files delivered to it or the Custodian on its behalf, (ii) the REMIC I Regular Interests, (iii) the REMIC II Regular Interests, in each case on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and (iv) the EC REMIC III Regular Interests, in each case on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any A Note relate to a corresponding B Note, the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf), will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of each related B Note; provided, that if a B Note remains outstanding following payment in full of the amounts due under the related A Notes, the Mortgage Loan documents relating to such A/B Whole Loan (exclusive of any such documents related solely to the A Notes) shall be assigned to the holder of the B Note or its designee at the expense of the holder of the B Note and delivered to such B Note holder. To the extent that the contents of the Mortgage File for any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan relate to the corresponding Serviced Companion Loan (or, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust), the Trustee, or the Custodian, on the Trustee’s behalf, will also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if such B Note is not an asset of the Trust).
 
On the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Certification, and within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date in respect of the Final Certification, the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall examine the Mortgage Files in its possession, and shall deliver to the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling Class Representative and, upon request, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan and the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note a certification (the “Initial Certification” and the “Final Certification”, respectively, in the respective forms set forth as Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit
 
 
139

 
 
B-2 hereto), which (together with any related exceptions) shall be in electronic format (i) in the case of the Initial Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents listed in clauses (i), (ii), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and (C) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, and (ii) in the case of the Final Certification, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, except as may be specified in the schedule of exceptions attached thereto, to the effect that: (A) all documents listed in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (x) and (xii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” required to be included in the Mortgage File (to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement), and with respect to all documents specified in the other clauses of the definition of “Mortgage File” to the extent known by a Responsible Officer of the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) to be required pursuant to this Agreement, are in its possession, (B) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been materially mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered, and such documents relate to such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, (C) based on its examination and only as to the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, the street address (excluding zip code) of the Mortgaged Property set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule respecting such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, accurately reflects the information contained in the documents in the Mortgage File, and (D) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of a commitment to issue a Title Insurance Policy in lieu of the delivery of the actual Title Insurance Policy shall not be considered a Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual Title Insurance Policy is delivered to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) not later than the 180th day following the Closing Date.
 
Within 360 days after the Cut-Off Date, the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall provide a confirmation of receipt of recorded assignments of Mortgage (as set forth in the definition of “Mortgage File,” with evidence of recording thereon) or otherwise provide evidence of such recordation to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such confirmation to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7), the Controlling Class Representative and each Seller. The Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) shall use reasonable efforts to submit for recording any unrecorded assignments of Mortgage that have been delivered to it (including effecting such recordation process through or cooperating with the applicable Seller), such recordation to be at the expense of the applicable Seller; provided, that the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall not submit for recording any such assignments if the applicable Seller produces evidence that it has sent any such assignment for recording and is awaiting its return from the applicable recording office. In giving the certifications required above, neither the Trustee nor the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall be under any obligation or duty to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, securities or other papers to determine whether they or the signatures thereon are valid, legal, genuine, enforceable, in recordable form or appropriate for their represented purposes, or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Mortgage File
 
 
140

 
 
should include any assumption agreement, modification agreement, consolidation agreement, extension agreement, Assignment of Lease, ground lease, UCC financing statement, guaranty, written assurance, substitution agreement, lock box agreement, intercreditor agreement, management agreement or letter of credit.
 
If any exceptions are noted on a schedule of exceptions attached to the Final Certification, including exceptions resulting from the fact that the recordation and/or filing has not been completed (based solely on the absence of receipt by the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation and/or filing), then the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) shall continuously update such schedule of exceptions to reflect receipt of any corrected documents, additional documents or instruments or evidences of recordation and/or filing, as to each Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, until the earliest of the following dates: (i) the date on which all such exceptions are eliminated (any such elimination resulting from the fact that recordation and/or filing has been completed shall be based solely on receipt by the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation and/or filing), (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage Loans (and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, if affected) are removed from the Trust and (iii) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, and shall provide such updated schedule of exceptions (which shall be in electronic format) to each of the Trustee, the Depositor, each Seller (as to its respective Mortgage Loans only and, with respect to MSMCH, as to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such updated schedule of exceptions on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7), the Controlling Class Representative, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan and the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note on or about the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date and then again every ninety (90) days thereafter (until the earliest date specified above). Upon request, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and to the Custodian the names and addresses of each holder of a Serviced Companion Loan and the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note, in each case of which the Master Servicer has received notice in accordance with this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
The Custodian or its authorized agents shall retain possession and custody of each Trust Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
 
The Custodian shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the Custodian consisting of “instruments” (as such term is defined in Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof) in Minnesota and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall not remove such instruments from Minnesota unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person requesting the removal of such instruments from Minnesota) that if the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first priority perfected security interest in such instruments.
 
The Custodian shall not be an agent of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have no liability for any action or omission of the Custodian hereunder.

Section 2.3     Sellers’ Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for Material Document Defects and Material Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
 
(a)           If any party hereto discovers that any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been delivered as and when required, has not been properly executed, or is defective on its face or discovers or receives notice of a breach of any of the representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note required to be made by a Seller regarding the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and/or the related Mortgaged Properties as set forth in Exhibit 2 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, and either (i) the defect or breach, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Certificates in the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, or (ii) both (A) the defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and (B) the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (any such defect described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Document Defect”, and such a breach described in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), a “Material Breach”), then the party determining that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor, the other parties hereto, the related Seller and the 17g-5 Information Provider subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) upon determining (or becoming aware of another party’s determination) that any such Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists (which determination shall, absent evidence to the contrary, be presumed to be no earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to the delivery of the notice referred to below), the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note if it is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note if it is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as applicable), as applicable, shall (and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) may) request that the related Seller, not later than ninety (90) days from such Seller’s receipt of the notice of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects; provided, that if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within such 90-day period, and such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would not cause the Mortgage Loan (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code) but the related Seller is diligently attempting to effect such correction or cure, as certified by such Seller in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Custodian, then the cure period will be extended for an additional ninety (90) days unless, solely in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred as a result of a monetary default or as set forth in clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition of “Servicing Transfer Event” and (y) the Material Document Defect was identified in a certification delivered to the Seller by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.2 not less than ninety (90) days prior to the receipt by the applicable Seller of the notice of such Material Document Defect. The parties acknowledge that neither delivery of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise nor
 
 
142

 
 
possession of such certification or schedule by the Seller shall, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge or awareness by the Seller or any party hereto of any Material Document Defect listed therein.
 
If any Material Document Defect or Material Breach that exists cannot be corrected or cured in all material respects within the above cure periods, the related Seller (and any related guarantor) is obligated under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, not later than the last day of such permitted cure period, subject to Section 5.12 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) or REO Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if within the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date if a Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), at the related Seller’s option, without recourse (other than the representations and warranties made with respect thereto), replace such Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) or REO Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the related Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan) with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay a substitution shortfall amount equal to the excess, if any, of the applicable Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan to be replaced, over the Stated Principal Balance of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan. No such substitution shall be permitted with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note if a Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note. If such Material Document Defect or Material Breach would cause the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence or the previous paragraph, the cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within eighty-five (85) days from the date the related Seller was notified of the defect or breach; provided, that in any event any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur no later than eighty-five (85) days from the date of determination of the existence of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach as determined in this Section 2.3(a). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, as a result of any such repurchase by the applicable Seller, the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan may remain an asset of the Trust and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note may be held by a third party (or vice versa). In either case, the promissory notes comprising the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair shall remain subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Master Servicer shall not execute any instrument effecting the substitution unless the related Seller has delivered to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) for such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or
 
 
143

 
 
Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related Assignment of Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.1, with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.1, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on statements and certifications from the Custodian for this purpose. No substitution may be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust and will be retained by Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on the related Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the related Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
 
The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and upon such amendment the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer. Upon such substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects. Upon receipt of the Trust Mortgage File pertaining to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall release the Trust Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller, and the Trustee (and the Depositor, if necessary) shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment in the form presented to it, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title (to the extent that such title was transferred to the Trustee or the Depositor) in the related Seller or its designee to any Deleted Mortgage Loan (including any property acquired in respect thereof or any insurance policy proceeds relating thereto) substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.3.
 
If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans (such Defective Mortgage Loan and such other Mortgage Loans, collectively, “Crossed Mortgage Loans”) and (z) the applicable document defect or breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to such other Crossed Mortgage Loans (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable document defect or breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such other Crossed Mortgage Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Seller (and any related guarantor) shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such other Crossed Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such breach or document defect, (A) the Seller provides a Nondisqualification Opinion to the Trustee at the expense of the Seller and (B) both of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Seller were to repurchase or replace only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect had occurred without regard to this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”): (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four (4) calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix I to the Prospectus Supplement and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans
 
 
144

 
 
(including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four (4) preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement, and (ii) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greater of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number (taken to one decimal place), for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Appendix I to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10% and (B) the Loan-to-Value Ratio for all such Crossed Mortgage Loans (including the Affected Loan(s)), at the time of repurchase or replacement. The determination of the Master Servicer as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Seller to (in which case the related Seller (and any related guarantor) shall be required under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to) cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the applicable Seller (and any related guarantor) is required to repurchase or substitute for such Defective Mortgage Loan (each, a “Repurchased Loan”) in the manner prescribed above while the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) continues to hold any Crossed Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller and the Depositor have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee or the Custodian, so long as such exercise does not impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party would impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Mortgage Loans shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding principal balances. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The Mortgagors set forth on Schedule VI hereto are intended third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph may not be modified with respect to any Mortgage Loan without the related Mortgagor’s consent.
 
Any of the following document defects shall be conclusively presumed materially and adversely to affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and be a Material Document Defect: (A) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity that appears to be regular on its face (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (B) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a

copy thereof) that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File a certified copy of the Mortgage by the local authority with which the Mortgage was recorded (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (C) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by paragraph (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a copy thereof) (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); (D) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original or a copy of any letter of credit in effect as of the Closing Date (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item); or (E) the absence from the Mortgage File of a copy of the item specified in paragraph (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (if such absence results from the related Seller’s failure to deliver such item) if the related Mortgage Loan is secured only by the related ground lease, space lease or air rights lease. If any party hereto notifies the Trustee of the occurrence of any of the foregoing Material Document Defects, the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take the steps described elsewhere in this Section 2.3(a), including the giving of notices to the related Seller, the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 5.7), the parties hereto and, to the extent any Material Document Defect relates to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall make demand upon the related Seller for the cure of the document defect or repurchase or replacement of the related Mortgage Loan.
 
If the related Seller disputes that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach exists with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or otherwise refuses (i) to effect a correction or cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, (ii) to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, from the Trust or (iii) to replace an affected Mortgage Loan with a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then provided that (x) the period of time provided for the related Seller to correct, repurchase or cure has expired and (y) the Mortgage Loan or 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is then in default and is then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may, subject to the Servicing Standard, modify, workout or foreclose, sell or otherwise liquidate (or permit the liquidation of) the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.5, Section 9.12, Section 9.13, Section 9.15, Section 9.16, Section 9.17 and Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, while pursuing the repurchase claim. The related Seller has acknowledged and agreed under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that any modification of the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, pursuant to a workout shall not constitute a defense to any repurchase claim nor shall such modification and workout change the Purchase Price due from the related Seller for any repurchase claim. In the event of any such modification and workout, the related Seller has agreed under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, as modified and that the Purchase Price shall include any Workout Fee paid to the Special Servicer up to the date of repurchase plus the present value (calculated at the applicable Calculation Rate) of the Workout Fee that would have been payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, if it performed in accordance with its terms to its Maturity Date, provided that no amount shall be paid by the related Seller in respect of any Workout Fee if a Liquidation Fee

already comprises (or will comprise) a portion of the Purchase Price or if the related Mortgagor has already paid such fee. The related Seller shall be notified promptly and in writing by the Special Servicer of any offer that it receives to purchase the applicable Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or any REO Property, as applicable, each in connection with such liquidation. Any sale of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, or foreclosure thereupon and sale of the related REO Property, to a Person other than the related Seller shall be without (i) recourse of any kind (either expressed or implied) by such Person against the related Seller and (ii) representation or warranty of any kind (either expressed or implied) by the related Seller to or for the benefit of such Person.
 
The fact that a Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not discovered until after the completion of foreclosure (but in all instances prior to the sale of the related REO Property) shall not prejudice any claim against the Seller (or any related guarantor) for repurchase of the REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein). In such an event, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans), as applicable, shall notify the related Seller of the discovery of the Material Document Defect or Material Breach and the related Seller shall have ninety (90) days to correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the Purchase Price. If the related Seller fails to correct or cure the Material Document Defect or Material Breach or purchase the REO Property, then the provisions above regarding notice of offers related to such REO Property shall apply. After a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or REO Property, if a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final order after the expiration of any applicable appeal period that the related Seller is or was obligated to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or REO Property (a “Final Judicial Determination”) or the related Seller otherwise accepts liability, then, but in no event later than the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 11.1, the related Seller (and any related guarantor) will be obligated to pay to the Trust the difference between any Liquidation Proceeds received upon such liquidation (including those arising from any sale to the related Seller) and the Purchase Price.
 
In any month in which the related Seller substitutes one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments received in the month of substitution). The Depositor shall cause the related Seller to deposit the amount of such shortage into the Collection Account in the month of substitution, without any reimbursement thereof. In addition, the Depositor shall cause the related Seller to deposit into the Collection Account, together with such shortage, if any, an amount equal to interest on the Deleted Mortgage Loans at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Mortgage Rate from the Due Date as to which interest was last paid up to the Due Date next succeeding such substitution together with the amount of unreimbursed Servicing Advances, amounts required to be paid to the Special Servicer but remaining unpaid or unreimbursed, and interest on unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans at the Advance Rate. The Depositor shall cause the related Seller, in the case of the Mortgage Loans, to give notice in writing (accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the
 
 
147

 
 
calculation of such shortage) to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of such event which notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate as to the calculation of such shortfall.
 
If the affected Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 30 or paragraph 32 in Exhibit 2 to any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and as a result the payments by a Mortgagor of reasonable costs and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause or the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note are insufficient such that the Trust incurs an Additional Trust Expense in an amount equal to such reasonable costs and expenses not paid by such Mortgagor, the related Seller has agreed to reimburse the Trust within ninety (90) days of the receipt of notice of such breach in an amount sufficient to avoid such Additional Trust Expense. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the applicable Seller’s obligation shall be such Seller’s pro rata share based on such Seller’s percentage interest as of the date of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in such Joint Mortgage Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge that such reimbursement shall be the only obligation of the related Seller with respect to the breach discussed in the second preceding sentence.
 
If a Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or an REO Property is repurchased or replaced by a Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Master Servicer shall provide prompt electronic notice to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7).
 
With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, the obligations of each of the applicable Sellers to repurchase or substitute with respect to a Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to the related Mortgage Loan shall be limited to a repurchase or substitution with respect to the Mortgage Note it sold to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, any cure by either of the applicable Sellers with respect to the Mortgage Note sold by it to the Depositor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that also cures the Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to the entire related Joint Mortgage Loan shall satisfy the cure obligations of both Sellers with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan.
 
(b)           In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, a repurchase of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the related Seller, after delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by such Seller, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan (and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable)
 
 
148

 
 
possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the related Seller or its designee in the same manner, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which documents were previously assigned to the Trustee, but in any event, without recourse, representation or warranty; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.3, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer) necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so. The Master Servicer shall, and is also hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, reconvey to the related Seller any deposits then held in an Escrow Account relating to the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any negligent or intentional misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer.
 
(c)           The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provide the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Material Document Defect or Material Breach. The parties hereunder understand that (i) MSMCH, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement II, will be providing the remedies with respect to the MSMCH Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, (ii) BANA, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement I, will be providing the remedies with respect to the BANA Loans, (iii) CIBC, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement III, will be providing the remedies with respect to the CIBC Loans, and (iv) SMF III, as Seller under Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement IV (and Starwood Mortgage Capital LLC as the guarantor of SMF III’s repurchase obligations), will be providing the remedies with respect to the SMF III Loans.
 
(d)          The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may enforce the provisions of this Section 2.3.
 
(e)           If the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (each a “Repurchase Request Recipient”): (1) receives notice of a Demand; or (2) receives notice of a withdrawal of a Demand by the Person making such Demand, then such party shall give written notice thereof to the applicable Seller and the other parties hereto within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice. Each notice required by this Section 2.3(e) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall include: (i) the date the Demand was delivered to the Repurchase Request Recipient or was withdrawn by the Person making such Demand, as the case may be; (ii) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan and the identity of the Person making such Demand; (iii) the breach of representation or warranty or document deficiency asserted by the Person making the Demand, to the extent known to the Repurchase Request Recipient; and (iv) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Demand. Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means. A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 2.3(e) if and to the extent that such information is protected by either the attorney-client privilege or the
 
 
149

 
 
attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice is provided only to assist the Depositor, the related Seller and their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient, and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice
 
If the Trustee, Custodian or the Certificate Administrator receives a Demand, then such party shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) calendar days following receipt by the Certificate Administrator, Custodian or the Trustee, as the case may be) forward such Demand to the Master Servicer (with a copy to the Special Servicer), if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer (with a copy to the Master Servicer), if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan or REO B Note), and shall include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Demand” under Section 2.3 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the MSBAM 2015-C21 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder”. Upon receipt of a Demand by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Demand, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph of this Section 2.3(e) with respect to such Demand. None of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator shall accept any oral Demands, and each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall direct any Person making a Demand to submit it in writing to the Certificate Administrator (who will then act in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph). Any Demand to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or by email to mmgrepurchases@wellsfargo.com (or such other email address as the Certificate Administrator shall designate from time to time) with a subject line of “Repurchase Request - MSBAM 2015-C21”.
 
Section 2.4     Representations and Warranties. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust), Custodian and the Certificate Administrator as of the Closing Date that:

(b)           The execution and delivery by the Depositor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Depositor; neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, (i) any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule,
 
 
150

 
 
regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Depositor or its properties; (ii) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor; or (iii) the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound; neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is a party to, bound by, or in breach of or violation of any indenture or other agreement or instrument, or subject to or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects or to the best knowledge of the Depositor may in the future materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Depositor;

THE CERTIFICATES
 
Section 3.1     The Certificates.
 
(a)           The Certificates shall be in substantially the forms set forth in the Exhibits attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee or the Depositor be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange on which any of the Certificates may be listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

(c)           Each Certificate shall, on original issue, be executed by the Certificate Registrar and authenticated by the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by an authorized officer of the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certification upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates to the Authenticating Agent for authentication and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver such Certificates only as provided for in this Agreement. If additional Certificates need to be prepared at any time subsequent to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the Depositor’s expense, any such additional Certificates. With respect to the REMIC III Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates that are issued in book-entry form, on the Closing Date, the Authenticating Agent upon the order of the Depositor shall authenticate Book-Entry Certificates that are issued to a Clearing Agency or its nominee as provided in Section 3.7 against payment of the purchase price thereof.

The Certificate Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed by the Certificate Administrator or the Certificateholders, and a new successor may be appointed, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 7.6 and 7.7 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Certificate Administrator and the appointment of a successor Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders and the Trustee, any trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided that the Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
 
Section 3.3     Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
 
(a)           A Certificate may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Administrator, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance with the preceding
 
 
153

 
 
sentence, and subject to the restrictions set forth in the other subsections of this Section 3.3, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate initial Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or transfer of Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any request for a registration of transfer of any Certificate during the period beginning five (5) calendar days prior to any Distribution Date.
 
(b)          A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in the aggregate the same initial Certificate Balance, initial Notional Amount or Percentage Interest, as the case may be, as the Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of exchange duly executed by such Holder or such Holder’s duly authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
 
(c)           No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws. If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Non-Registered Certificate by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 hereto and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A hereto or as Exhibit D-2B hereto; or (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). No transfer of a Class R Certificate may be made to a Person that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and any certificate and/or opinion of counsel delivered pursuant to
 
 
154

 
 
the preceding sentence must reflect that the Transferee of a Class R Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer. No transfer of a Class V Certificate may be made to a Person that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Institutional Accredited Investor. No transfer of a Class V or Class R Certificate may be made in book-entry form. No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited. No party to this Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a transfer of Non-Registered Certificates or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to this Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
 
(d)           No transfer of a Class V or Class R Certificate or other Non-Investment Grade Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts, the assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, including, without limitation, insurance company general accounts, that is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Laws”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of a Plan, unless: (i) except in the case of a Class V or Class R Certificate, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60; or (ii) in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate (other than a Class V or Class R Certificate) held as a Definitive Certificate, the prospective Transferee provides the Certificate Registrar with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Certificate Registrar that such transfer will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Laws or subject any party to this Agreement to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Each Person who acquires any Class V or Class R Certificate or other Non-Investment Grade Certificate as a Definitive Certificate (unless it shall have acquired such Certificate from the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof or unless, in the case of a Non-Investment Grade Certificate (other than a Class V or Class R Certificate), it shall have delivered to the Certificate Registrar the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification in the form of Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B hereto that includes a certification to the effect that: (i) it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with “plan assets” of a Plan; or (ii) that, except in the case of a Class V or Class R Certificate, the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or another exemption from the

“prohibited transactions” rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.
 
(e)           Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator under clause (F) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Registrar under clause (G) below to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of such person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
 
(A)           (1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee and (2) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Qualified Institutional Buyer and shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Qualified Institutional Buyer.
 
(B)           In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit and Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, that it is a United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, that if such Transferee is a partnership, trust or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then each Person that may be allocated income from a Class R Certificate is a United States Tax Person, that it is not a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person, that it has historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to do so in the future, that it understands that its tax liability with respect to the Class R Certificates may exceed cash flows thereon and it intends to pay such taxes as they come due, that it will not cause income with respect to the Class R Certificates to be attributable to a
 
 
156

 
 
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other United States Tax Person, that it will provide the Certificate Registrar with all information necessary to determine that the applicable paragraphs of Section 13 of such Transferee Affidavit and Agreement are true or that Section 13 is not applicable, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) and agrees to be bound by them.
 
(C)           Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
 
(D)           Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating, among other things that (x) it has conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed Transferee and, as a result of the investigation, the Transferor determines that the proposed Transferee had historically paid its debts as they came due and found no significant evidence that the proposed Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they come due in the future and, (y) it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, is not a United States Tax Person or a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, is a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person or is a Person with respect to which income on the Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty.
 
(E)           Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate that is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of a “pass-through interest holder”, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Certificate Registrar written notice of its status as such immediately upon holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate.
 
(F)           If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person, then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.3(e) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all
 
 
157

 
 
rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 3.3(e) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(G)           If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 3.3(e), or if any Holder of a Class R Certificate shall lose its status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Tax Person, and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights and obligations of the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate as set forth in clause (F) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Class R Certificate, but not the obligation, to sell or cause to be sold such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such noncomplying Holder shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such noncomplying Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (G) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
 
The Certificate Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all information in its possession necessary to compute any tax imposed (i) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificate and (ii) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is not a Permitted Transferee. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator for providing such information.
 
The provisions of this Section 3.3(e) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer and the Depositor, an Opinion of Counsel (subject to Section 5.7, a copy of which shall be provided to each Rating Agency), in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to (A) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (B) be subject to an
 
 
158

 
 
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
(f)            None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar shall have any liability to the Trust arising from a transfer of any Certificate in reliance upon a certification, ruling or opinion of counsel described in this Section 3.3; provided, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Class R Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e); provided, further, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it shall have received notice that the Transferor has determined, as a result of the investigation under Section 3.3(e)(D), that the proposed Transferee has not paid its debts as they came due or that it will not pay its debts as they come due in the future. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restriction on transfer or exchange of Certificates or any interest therein imposed under this Article III or under applicable law other than to require delivery of the certifications and/or opinions described in this Article III; provided, that the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Class R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee does not meet the qualifications of a permitted Holder of a Class R Certificate as set forth in Section 3.3(e). The Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for transfers (including without limitation transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the Depository or between or among Participants or Certificate Owners) made in violation of applicable restrictions, provided that the Certificate Registrar has satisfied its duties expressly set forth in Sections 3.3(c), 3.3(d) and 3.3(e).
 
(g)           All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically cancelled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall hold such cancelled Certificates in accordance with its standard procedures.
 
(h)           The Certificate Registrar shall provide the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor, upon written request, with an updated copy of the Certificate Register within a reasonable period of time following receipt of such request.
 
(i)            Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for the individual Certificates represented thereby, a Global Certificate representing all of the Certificates of a Class may not be transferred, except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Clearing Agency or a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this subsection (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Certificate of a Class that is issued in exchange for a Global Certificate of the same Class pursuant to Section 3.9 below. Nothing in this subsection (i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 3.3.
 
 
159

 
 
Section 3.4     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (A) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (B) except in the case of a mutilated Certificate so surrendered, there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
 
Section 3.5     Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and any agent of any such party, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and no such party (nor any agent thereof) shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
Section 3.6     Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses.
 
(a)            If any three (3) or more Certifying Certificateholders or any party to this Agreement (i) request in writing from the Certificate Registrar a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders and (ii) in the case of a request by Certificateholders, state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such request, at no cost to such requesting party, afford such Certificateholders or applicable party to this Agreement, as applicable, access during normal business hours to a current list of the Certificateholders or, if requested, shall provide such list electronically to the applicable requesting party; provided, that the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to determine the identity of any Certificate Owner of any Book-Entry Certificate. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that none of the Certificate Registrar or any other party to this Agreement shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
 
(b)           Upon the written request of any Certifying Certificateholder that (i) states that such Certificateholder desires the Certificate Registrar to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders stating that such Certificateholder wishes to be contacted by other Certificateholders, setting forth the relevant contact information and briefly stating the reason for the requested contact and (ii) provides a copy of the Special Notice which such Certificateholder proposes to transmit, the Certificate Registrar shall deliver such Special Notice to the Certificate

Section 3.7     Book-Entry Certificates.
 
(a)           The REMIC III Regular Certificates and Exchangeable Certificates (exclusive of any Non-Registered Certificates that are sold in the United States to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers), in the case of each Class thereof, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates of such Class, to be delivered to the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Depositor, provided, that any Non-Registered Certificates sold to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, together with the Class V and Class R Certificates, will be issued as Definitive Certificates. The Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depository, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a Definitive Certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in the Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 3.9. With respect to those Classes of Certificates issued as Global Certificates, unless and until Definitive Certificates have been issued to the related Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.9:
 
(i)           the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Class;
 
(ii)          the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Custodian and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Certificates) as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners;
 
(iii)         to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.7 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.7 shall control with respect to each such Class; and
 
(iv)         the rights of the Certificate Owners of each such Class shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.9, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such Participants.
 
 
161

 
 
(b)           For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of the Certificates evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Certificate Owners owning Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of principal amount of Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions with respect to the Certificates to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Certificate Owners.
 
(c)           The Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) initially sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, together with the Class V and Class R Certificates, shall be represented by Definitive Certificates for such Class. The Non-Registered Certificates evidenced by any Rule 144A Global Certificate or Definitive Certificate shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in Section 3.3 hereof and shall bear legend(s) regarding such restrictions described herein.
 
(d)           The Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) initially sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be represented by the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. Not earlier than the Release Date, beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall be exchangeable for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class. Beneficial interests in any Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank; provided, that such interests may be exchanged for interests in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class in accordance with the certification requirements described in Section 3.7(f). The Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.
 
On or prior to the Release Date and on or prior to any Distribution Date occurring prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner of a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate that holds a beneficial interest therein on the Release Date or on any such Distribution Date, as the case may be, must deliver to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank (as applicable) a Regulation S Certificate; provided, that any Certificate Owner that holds a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate on the Release Date or on any such Distribution Date that has previously delivered a Regulation S Certificate to Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to its interest therein does not need to deliver any subsequent Regulation S Certificate (unless the certificate previously delivered is no longer true as of such subsequent date, and such Certificate Owner must promptly notify Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, thereof). Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, shall be required to promptly deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the effect that it has received the requisite Regulation S Certificates for each such Class, and no Certificate Owner (or transferee from any such Certificate Owner) shall be entitled to
 
 
162

 
 
receive an interest in the Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate for such Class or any payment or principal or interest with respect to its interest in such Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate prior to the Certificate Registrar receiving such certification from Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank with respect to the portion of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate owned by such Certificate Owner (and, with respect to an interest in the applicable Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate, prior to the Release Date). After the Release Date, distributions due with respect to any beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the related Regulation S Permanent Global Certificate is improperly withheld or refused. No interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be held by or transferred to a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) except for exchanges for a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class as set forth in Section 3.7(f).
 
(e)           Except in the limited circumstances described below in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates. The Certificates are not issuable in bearer form. Upon the issuance of each Global Certificate, the Depository or its custodian shall credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by such Global Certificate to the accounts of Persons who have accounts with such Depository. Such accounts initially shall be designated by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate shall be limited to Customers or Persons who hold interests directly or indirectly through Customers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Certificates shall be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee (with respect to interests of Customers) and the records of Customers (with respect to interests of Persons other than Customers).
 
So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered holder of a Global Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner and holder of the Certificates represented by such Global Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement and the Certificates, including, without limitation, obtaining consents and waivers thereunder, and the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Except under the circumstance described in Section 3.9, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate will not be entitled to have any portions of such Global Certificate registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates in certificated form and shall not be considered the owners or holders of the Global Certificate (or any Certificates represented thereby) under this Agreement or the Certificates. In addition, no Certificate Owner of an interest in a Global Certificate shall be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with the Depository’s applicable procedures (in addition to those under this Agreement and, if applicable, those of Euroclear Bank and Clearstream Bank).
 
(f)           Any holder of an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate Registrar, Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, and the Depository, in the form of an Exchange Certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the
 
 
163

 
 
Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate as set forth herein; provided that no Exchange Certification shall be required if any such exchange occurs after the Release Date. Any holder of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Certificate Registrar, the Depository and Euroclear Bank or Clearstream Bank, as applicable, in the form of an Exchange Certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto), to exchange all or a portion of such interest (in authorized denominations as set forth in Section 3.1(b)) for an equivalent interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class in connection with a transfer of its interest therein to a transferee that is eligible to hold an interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate as set forth herein; provided, that if such exchange occurs prior to the Release Date, the transferee shall acquire an interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate only and shall be subject to all of the restrictions associated therewith described in Section 3.7(d). Following receipt of any Exchange Certification or request for transfer, as applicable, by the Certificate Registrar: (i) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates being exchanged to reduce the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange is to be made, and (ii) the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the schedule to any Global Certificate representing the Certificate or Certificates for which such exchange is to be made to increase the stated principal amount of such Global Certificate by the denominations of the Certificate or Certificates being exchanged therefor. The form of the Exchange Certification shall be available from the Certificate Registrar.
 
(g)           If a Holder of a Definitive Certificate wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer such Definitive Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class, such Holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of the Depository, cause the exchange of such Definitive Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class; provided that such Holder shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its Corporate Trust Office, of (1) such Definitive Certificate, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit, or cause to be credited, a beneficial interest in the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit D-3 hereto, then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel or cause the cancellation of such Definitive Certificate and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Balance of the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate to be exchanged or transferred and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the Definitive Certificate so canceled.
 
Section 3.8     Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificateholders pursuant
 
 
164

 
 
to Section 3.9, the Certificate Administrator shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and communications to the related Participants in accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures.
 
Section 3.9     Definitive Certificates.
 
(a)           Definitive Certificates will be issued to the owners of beneficial interests in a Global Certificate or their nominees if (i) the Clearing Agency notifies the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Certificate and a qualifying successor depositary is not appointed by the Depositor within ninety (90) days thereof or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or caused to be instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement and under such Global Certificate and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or advisable for the Trustee or its custodian to obtain possession of such Global Certificate; provided, that under no circumstances will Definitive Certificates be issued to Certificate Owners of the Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency and request the Clearing Agency to notify all Certificate Owners, through the applicable Participants, of the occurrence of the event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall recognize the Holders of Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
 
(b)           If any Certificate Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Definitive Certificate in Section 3.3. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 3.3 applicable to transfers of Definitive Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Definitive Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a

decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Definitive Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.
 
(c)           Distributions of principal and interest on the Definitive Certificates shall be made by the Certificate Administrator directly to holders of Definitive Certificates in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement.
 
Section 3.10     Exchanges of Exchangeable Certificates.
 
(a)           On the Closing Date, the Grantor Trust shall issue the several Classes of Exchangeable Certificates. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates shall be issued on the Closing Date with the respective Aggregate Certificate Balance set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.
 
(b)           At the request of the Holder of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates in the Exchange Proportion, and upon the surrender of such Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall exchange such Exchangeable Certificates for Class PST Certificates with an original Aggregate Certificate Balance equal to the original Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates exchanged therefor. At the request of the Holder of Class PST Certificates, and upon the surrender of such Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall exchange such Exchangeable Certificates for Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates in the Exchange Proportion and with an original Aggregate Certificate Balance equal to the original Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class PST Certificates exchanged therefor. No service charge (other than administrative fees charged by the Depository) shall be payable by a Certificateholder in connection with any exchange of Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.10. There shall be no limitation on the number of exchanges authorized pursuant to this Section 3.10; provided, that (i) each of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates exchanged (whether surrendered or received) in such exchange shall have denominations no smaller than the minimum denominations set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) exchanges pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall not be permitted after the Certificate Balance of the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and therefore the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Component A-S Principal Amount of the Class PST Component A-S) has been reduced to zero or if any Class of Exchangeable Certificates is no longer maintained as a Book-Entry Certificate. In addition, the Depositor shall have the right to make or cause exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date.
 
(c)           [Reserved].
 
(d)           In connection with any exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall reduce the outstanding Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates surrendered by the applicable Holder on the Certificate Register and shall increase the outstanding Aggregate Certificate Balance of the related Class or Classes of Exchangeable Certificates received by such Holder in such exchange on the Certificate Register and the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give appropriate instructions to the Depository and make appropriate notations on the

(e)           In order to effect an exchange of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing or by e-mail to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com (with a subject line referencing “MSBAM 2015-C21” and setting forth the proposed Exchange Date) no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed exchange date (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date may be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month. The notice must (i) be set forth on the applicable Certificateholder’s letterhead, (ii) carry a medallion stamp guarantee and (iii) set forth the following information: the CUSIP number of each Exchangeable Certificate to be exchanged and each Exchangeable Certificate to be received; the outstanding Certificate Balance and the initial Certificate Balance of the Exchangeable Certificates to be exchanged, the Certificateholder’s DTC participant number; and the proposed Exchange Date. The Certificateholder and the Certificate Administrator shall utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to effect such exchange of the applicable Exchangeable Certificates. A notice shall become irrevocable on the second Business Day before the proposed Exchange Date. Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for the corresponding Exchangeable Certificates on and after the Closing Date, by notice to the Certificate Administrator substantially in the form of Exhibit Q.
 
(f)            The Certificate Administrator shall make the first distribution on an Exchangeable Certificate received by a Certificateholder in any exchange on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificate and Distribution Date.

Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor will have any obligation to ensure the availability in the market of the applicable Certificates to accomplish any exchange.
 
ARTICLE IV
ADVANCES
 
Advances shall be made as provided herein by the Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not make such Advances, by the Trustee except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
Section 4.1     P&I Advances by Master Servicer.
 
(a)           On or prior to the Advance Report Date, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if any P&I Advance Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero (provided that such notice shall be deemed given if the Master Servicer complies with its obligations under Section 8.11(a) or Section 8.11(d)(v)), and the Master Servicer shall make a P&I Advance in respect of each applicable Mortgage Loan and the 555
 
 
167

 
 
11th Street NW Trust B Note of such amount no later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date. It is understood that the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory and shall apply through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of the Mortgagor or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such P&I Advance if the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and shall not make such P&I Advance if such P&I Advance if made would be a Nonrecoverable Advance as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such P&I Advance; provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders, and the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such determination by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not make P&I Advances under this Agreement. If the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it is required to make under this Section 4.1, it shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of such failure.
 
(b)           If the Master Servicer determines that there is a P&I Advance Amount for a Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date either (A) deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the P&I Advance Amount or (B) utilize funds in the Collection Account being held for future distributions or withdrawals to make such Advance, except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®. Any funds being held in the Collection Account for future distribution or withdrawal and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer from its own funds by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that funds in the Collection Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be less than payments to the Certificate Administrator or other Persons required to be made on such date.
 
(c)           In no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to a B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note), a Serviced Companion Loan or a Non-Serviced Companion Loan.
 
(d)           In no event shall the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) if the sum of all outstanding P&I Advances in respect of such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable (together with Advance Interest) is equal to or greater than the Stated Principal Balance plus all overdue amounts on such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of recoverability, in the event that any P&I Advance made in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (or Advance Interest thereon) is subsequently reimbursed from the applicable Custodial Account from amounts payable to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, any resulting shortfall shall be
 
 
168

 
 
considered a delinquency in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan for purposes of clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition of “P&I Advance.” If any P&I Advance made in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (or Advance Interest thereon) is subsequently reimbursed from the applicable Custodial Account from amounts payable to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, any such amounts that are used for such reimbursement of such P&I Advance on the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall be deemed not to have been received on the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan for purposes of future collections.
 
Section 4.1A     P&I Advances with Respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loans. With respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loans (the “P&I Pari Passu Loans”), the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall each be entitled to make its own determination that a P&I Advance previously made on any P&I Pari Passu Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such P&I Pari Passu Loan in accordance with and subject to Section 4.1 and Section 4.4 independently of any determination made by any Other Master Servicer, Other Trustee or Other Special Servicer under the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement in respect of any P&I Pari Passu Loan following deposit of the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans into a commercial mortgage securitization trust, and the Other Master Servicer, Other Trustee and Other Special Servicer, as applicable, shall each make its own determination that a P&I Advance is or, if made, will be, a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (both as defined in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, in accordance with the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any such P&I Advance is nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Other Master Servicer, the Other Trustee, the Other Special Servicer or the holders of any securities relating to the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable. No determination by the Other Master Servicer, the Other Trustee or the Other Special Servicer that any P&I Advance (as defined in the related Other Companion Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is nonrecoverable shall be binding on the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer or the Certificateholders.
 
The Master Servicer shall not be required to make a P&I Advance with respect to any P&I Pari Passu Loan after its receipt of notice from the related Other Master Servicer, Other Trustee or Other Special Servicer that it has determined that a P&I Advance (as defined in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) is or, if made, will be, a Nonrecoverable Advance on the Non-Serviced Companion Loans or Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable, or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to the relevant Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Master Servicer determines (or has received notice from the Special Servicer of its determination) that a P&I Advance would be (if made), or any outstanding P&I Advance previously made is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination. If the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee receives written notice by the Other Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, that any proposed future P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding P&I
 
 
169

 
 
Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to consult on a non-binding basis with the Other Master Servicer regarding the circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, but the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall be allowed to ultimately make its own determination. Any determination that a P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, any Other Master Servicer, any Other Trustee or any Other Special Servicer may, in all cases, be conclusively relied on by each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee does not receive notice of an Appraisal Reduction with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be obligated to proportionately reduce the amount of any P&I Advance required to be made by it, except to the extent an Appraisal Reduction is applied as described in the last sentence of the definition of “Appraisal Reduction.”
 
Following a securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to deliver to the related Other Master Servicer the following information: (i) any loan related information (in the form received), including without limitation CREFC® Reports relating to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, applicable to a determination that an Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, within one (1) Business Day of the Master Servicer’s receipt thereof, (ii) notice of any Servicing Advance it, the Special Servicer or the Trustee makes with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan within one (1) Business Day of the making of such Advance and (iii) notice of any determination that any Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance within one (1) Business Day thereof.
 
Section 4.2     Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer and, if the Master Servicer does not, the Trustee to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer, shall make Servicing Advances to the extent provided in this Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, except to the extent the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard and Section 4.4 that such Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, in which event the Special Servicer shall promptly direct the Master Servicer not to make such Advance (and the Master Servicer shall be bound by any such determination); provided that the Special Servicer has no obligation to make such determination. Such determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Certificateholders and, in the case of any B Note, the holder of any related B Note and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be required to make Servicing Advances under this Agreement but may make such Servicing Advances (on an emergency basis) at its option in which event the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advance (together with Advance Interest) promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days) following receipt of a statement therefor. Promptly after discovering that the Master Servicer has failed to make a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer is required to make hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing of the failure by the Master Servicer to make such Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer may make Servicing Advances in its own discretion if it determines that making such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the
 
 
170

 
 
Certificateholders, as a collective whole (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, in the best interest of the holder of any related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole and, in the case of any Loan Pair, in the best interest of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) as a collective whole), even if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined, in accordance with Section 4.4 below, that any such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
The applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer is obligated to make “Servicing Advances” as defined in, and pursuant to, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer shall have no obligation or authority to make Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 4.3     Advances by the Trustee.
 
(a)           To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, by the Master Servicer Remittance Date (other than a P&I Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance to the extent the Trustee receives written notice from the Certificate Administrator not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date that such Advance has not been made by the Master Servicer on the Master Servicer Remittance Date unless the Trustee determines (in its good faith business judgment) that such P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Certificate Administrator shall notify (i) the Trustee (if the Certificate Administrator is not also the Trustee) in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Distribution Date if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance and (ii) the Master Servicer and the Trustee in writing as soon as practicable, but not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, if it has not received a P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, set forth in the Master Servicer Remittance Report provided to the Certificate Administrator on the related Advance Report Date; provided, the failure of the Certificate Administrator to provide any such notice within such timeframe shall not diminish in any respect the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such P&I Advance in accordance with the terms set forth above.
 
(b)           To the extent that the Master Servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance by the date such Servicing Advance is required to be made (other than a Servicing Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines is a Nonrecoverable Advance), and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice thereof, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance promptly, but in any event, not later than five (5) Business Days after notice thereof in accordance with Section 4.2, unless the Trustee determines (in its good faith business judgment) that such Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
 
171

 
 
(c)           In no event shall the Trustee be obligated to make a P&I Advance with respect to a B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) or a Serviced Companion Loan or any Servicing Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 4.4     Evidence of Nonrecoverability.
 
(a)           If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines at any time, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that any Advance previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) constitutes, or any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute, a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the other such party, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (if the Advance relates to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as applicable) by the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall set forth the reasons for such determination of nonrecoverability, together with, to the extent such information, report or document is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, and, if such information, reports or documents are used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to determine that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, any related financial information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any Appraisals performed within the last twelve (12) months on the Mortgaged Property, any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys, internal final valuations or other information relevant thereto which support such determination. If the Trustee determines at any time that any Advance previously made by the Trustee constitutes, or any proposed Advance, if made by the Trustee, would constitute, a Nonrecoverable Advance, such determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (if the Advance relates to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as applicable), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period) and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), stating the reasons for such determination. In making any nonrecoverability determination as set forth above, the relevant party shall be entitled (i) to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) as it may have been modified, (ii) to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then-current conditions and occupancies as they actually are or may be modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties and/or (iii) to estimate and consider, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (among other things), future expenses and/or the timing of recovery to such party. In addition, any Person, in considering whether any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance (including any related Advance Interest) or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, A/B Whole Loans or Loan Pairs which, at the time of such consideration,
 
 
172

 
 
the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. Furthermore, the relevant party may, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, update or change its nonrecoverability determinations at any time in accordance with the terms hereof and may, consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, obtain from the Special Servicer any analysis, appraisals or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by the Special Servicer that any Advance previously made (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee, and the Master Servicer and Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such determination by the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any P&I Advance made in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note that has been determined to be nonrecoverable from the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note in the aggregate in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement shall not be reimbursable from the Collection Account.
 
(b)           The Trustee shall not make an Advance that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard to be a Nonrecoverable Advance (and, with respect to a Mortgage Loan included in a Loan Pair (other than the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair), an A/B Whole Loan or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall not be required to make an Advance that the related Other Master Servicer has previously determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be obligated to, nor shall it, make any Advance or make any payment that is designated in this Agreement to be an Advance, if it determines, with regard to the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment or, with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance or such payment (including interest accrued thereon at the Advance Rate) would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s determinations in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders and may be conclusively relied on by the Trustee and each other. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances and Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as applicable.
 
(c)           Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Fiscal Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for Pari Passu Loan Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to and to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in the manner set forth in Section 5.2.
 
 
173

 
 
Section 4.5     Interest on Advances; Calculation of Outstanding Advances with Respect to a Mortgage Loan. Any unreimbursed Advance funded from the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s own funds shall accrue interest, compounded annually, at a per annum rate equal to the Advance Rate, from and including the date such Advance was made to but not including the date on which such Advance has been reimbursed; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any P&I Advance with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note for the period commencing on the date of such P&I Advance and ending on the day on which the grace period applicable to the related Mortgagor’s obligation to make the related Scheduled Payment expires pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. All Late Collections on any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in respect of interest shall, promptly following receipt thereof, be applied by the Master Servicer to reimburse the interest component of any P&I Advance outstanding with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Any party that makes a P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall provide to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer monthly, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Due Date for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, written notice of whether (and, if any, how much) Advance Interest will be payable on the interest component of that P&I Advance through the next succeeding related Master Servicer Remittance Date. For purposes of determining whether a P&I Advance is outstanding, amounts collected with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (including a successor REO Mortgage Loan or REO B Note) and treated as collections of principal or interest shall be applied first to reimburse the earliest P&I Advance, and then each succeeding P&I Advance to the extent not inconsistent with Section 4.6. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect (but shall have no further obligation to collect), with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the 555 11th Street NW B Note and the Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, Penalty Charges from the Mortgagor in an amount sufficient to pay Advance Interest. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain Excess Penalty Charges paid by any Mortgagor during a Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (other than the portion of such Excess Penalty Charges that relate to the period commencing after the Servicing Transfer Event in respect of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as to which the Special Servicer shall retain Excess Penalty Charges with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) as additional servicing compensation. Penalty Charges shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.2(b).
 
Section 4.6     Reimbursement of Advances and Advance Interest.
 
(a)           Advances made with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, B Note, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property (including Advances later determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) and Advance Interest thereon shall be reimbursed to the extent of the amounts identified to be applied therefor in Section 5.2. The aggregate of the amounts available to repay Advances and Advance Interest thereon pursuant to Section 5.2 collected in any Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Property shall be an “Available Advance Reimbursement Amount.”
 
 
174

 
 
(b)           To the extent that Advances have been made on the Mortgage Loans, any Loan Pair, any A/B Whole Loan or any REO Loans, the Available Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect to any Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be applied to reimburse (i) the Trustee for any Advances outstanding to the Trustee with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, Loan Pairs, A/B Whole Loans and/or REO Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Trustee with respect to such Advances, and then (ii) the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer for any Advances outstanding thereto with respect to any of such Mortgage Loans, Loan Pairs, A/B Whole Loans and/or REO Loans, plus any Advance Interest owed to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to such Advances. To the extent that any Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee with respect to an Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan cannot be recovered from the related Mortgagor, the amount of such Advance Interest shall be payable to the Trustee, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or sub-account thereof) or the Distribution Account, to the extent of amounts identified to be applied therefor, pursuant to Section 5.2(a), Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.3(b)(ii). The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s and the Trustee’s right of reimbursement under this Agreement for Advances, together with Advance Interest thereon, shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan, the holder thereof and, in the case of a B Note, the holder thereof) to receive any amounts recovered with respect to such Mortgage Loans, Serviced Companion Loans, B Notes or REO Loans.
 
(c)           Advance Interest will be paid to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer (in accordance with the priorities specified in the preceding paragraph) first, in accordance with Section 5.2(b), from Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification Fees collected from the Mortgage Loans and, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreements, the Serviced Companion Loans and B Note (including REO Loans) during any particular Collection Period during which the related Advance is reimbursed, and then from Excess Liquidation Proceeds then available, prior to payment from any other amounts. Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee in respect of Servicing Advances on any Loan Pair shall be allocated to the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the Serviced Companion Loan on a pro rata basis based upon the respective Unpaid Principal Balances thereof.
 
(d)           Amounts applied to reimburse Advances shall first be applied to reduce Advance Interest thereon that was not paid from amounts specified in the preceding paragraph (c) and then to reduce the outstanding amount of such Advances.
 
(e)           To the extent that the Special Servicer incurs out-of-pocket expenses, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in connection with servicing Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such expenditures with interest at the Advance Rate promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days) after receiving an invoice and a report from the Special Servicer, subject to Section 4.4. The Special Servicer shall not invoice the Master Servicer more than once per calendar month and shall provide an Officer’s Certificate setting forth its expenses and appropriate documentation evidencing such reimbursements. With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver such invoice and report to the Master Servicer by the following Determination Date. All such amounts reimbursed by the Master Servicer shall be a Servicing Advance, subject to
 
 
175

 
 
Section 4.4. If the Master Servicer fails to reimburse the Special Servicer hereunder or the Master Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance was or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and the Master Servicer does not make such payment, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator in writing of such nonpayment and the amount payable to the Special Servicer and shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from the Trust in the same manner as the Master Servicer would have been reimbursed for the Advance with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify the amount payable to the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.6(e) and circumstances surrounding the notice delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.6(e).

and provided, further, that in the case of any Serviced Companion Loan:
 
(A)           to the extent consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time to time, from the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account or the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, to the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute any such Custodial Account, of amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursement of amounts described in any one or more of clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) above, but only insofar as the payment or reimbursement described therein arises from or is related to the corresponding Loan Pair and is allocable to, and may (in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement) be paid out of amounts otherwise payable to the holder of, the related Serviced Companion Loan, and the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to make transfers from time to time, from the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account or the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, to the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute any Custodial Account, of amounts transferred to the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account or the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, in error, and amounts necessary for the clearing and termination of the Collection Account in connection with the termination of the Trust;
 
(B)           the Master Servicer shall be entitled to make transfers from time to time, from the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account or the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, to the portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute any such Custodial Account, of amounts not otherwise described in clause (A) above to which the holder of the related Serviced Pari
 
 
185

 
 
Passu Mortgage Loan is entitled under the related Intercreditor Agreement (including in respect of interest, principal and Prepayment Premiums); and
 
(C)           the Master Servicer shall, on either (x) the date set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement for remittances (or, if none, on the first (1st) Business Day after receipt) or (y) such other date as may be agreed to between the Master Servicer and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (in their respective sole discretion), remit to the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan all amounts on deposit in the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account or the related Serviced Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable (net of amounts permitted or required to be transferred therefrom as set forth in clauses (A) and/or (B) above), to the extent that the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is entitled thereto under the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
The Master Servicer shall pay to each of the Special Servicer (or, in the case of an emergency, to third party contractors at the written direction of the Special Servicer), the Trust Advisor, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, from the applicable Collection Account, amounts permitted to be paid thereto from such account promptly upon receipt on or prior to the related Determination Date of a written statement of an officer of the Special Servicer, an officer of the Trust Advisor or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer (or, in the case of an emergency, such third party contractor), the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is entitled (unless such payment to the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is clearly required pursuant to this Agreement, in which case a written statement is not required). The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to recalculate or investigate (absent manifest error) the amounts stated therein. The parties seeking payment pursuant to this Section shall each keep and maintain a separate accounting for the purpose of justifying any request for withdrawal from each Collection Account, on a loan by loan basis.
 
No decision by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under either this Section 5.2(a)(I) or subsection (iv) of Section 5.2(a)(II), to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.
 
Expenses incurred with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents). The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain a separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and B Note for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal or transfer from the Collection Account and any Custodial Account, as applicable. If funds collected in respect of the A Notes are insufficient to pay the Master Servicing Fee, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw the amount of such shortfall from the collections on, and other proceeds of, the B Note that are held in the related A/B Whole Loan Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall not be permitted to withdraw any funds from the
 
 
186

 
 
portion of the Collection Account that does not constitute the A/B Whole Loan Custodial Account unless there are no remaining funds in the related A/B Whole Loan Custodial Account available and required to be paid in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection II of this Section 5.2(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of this Section 5.2(a):
 
(i)             Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts. If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, becomes (or, but for the requirement that the Mortgagor shall have made three (3) consecutive scheduled payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, together with Advance Interest accrued thereon, is not, pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 5.2(a)(I), reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and any Advance Interest thereon, together with any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
(ii)            General Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) sets forth the terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 5.2(a)(I) above. Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms and conditions thereof) authorizes the Master Servicer to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances under certain circumstances at its sole option. Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv) below.
 
(iii)           Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to
 
 
187

 
 
reimbursement and payment for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period; provided that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) (i) with respect to Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances) and net of any Nonrecoverable Advances then outstanding and reimbursable from such principal in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv) below and (ii) with respect to Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances) and net of any Nonrecoverable Advances then outstanding and reimbursable from such principal in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(II)(iv) below. As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount or Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
(iv)           Reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances; Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances. To the extent that Section 5.2(a)(I) otherwise entitles each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification Fees on the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, such reimbursements and payments shall be made, (x) with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to any Mortgage Loan, first, from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from amounts allocable to principal received with respect to the Mortgage Loans, as described by clause (II)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant to subsection (iii) of Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then from other collections (including interest) on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period, and (y) with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, first, from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount (but not
 
 
188

 
 
including any such amounts that constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from amounts allocable to principal received with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as described by clause (II)(A) of the definition of Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant to subsection (iii) of Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then, from the aggregate amount in the Collection Account allocable to principal received with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan for such Collection Period contemplated by clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount (but not including any such amounts that constitute Advances, and prior to any deduction for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (and Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from amounts allocable to principal received with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, as described by clause (II)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount and pursuant to subsection (iii) of Section 5.2(a)(II)), and then, with respect to such Nonrecoverable Advances that are Servicing Advances, from other collections (including interest) on the Mortgage Loans for such Collection Period and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would exceed such principal on the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, for such Collection Period (and Advance Interest thereon), the Master Servicer (and the Trustee, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option, to abstain from reimbursing itself (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), provided that the aggregate amount that is deferred with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans (or, with respect to the Class 555 Certificates, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b). If the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period to the same extent as set forth above. In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof until the end of the Collection Period.
 
 None of the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the
 
 
189

 
 
other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.
 
 Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon). Any election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on the unreimbursed portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any holder of a B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election. The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have the right to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of the amount described in clause (I)(A) of the definition of Principal Distribution Amount or Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee may abstain from reimbursing itself for any particular Nonrecoverable Advance for a period in excess of twelve (12) months, and during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note), neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee may abstain from reimbursing itself for any particular Nonrecoverable Advance for a period in excess of six (6) months without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative.
 
(v)           Reimbursement Rights of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee Are Senior. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create in any Certificateholder a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s right to reimbursement for Advances plus Advance Interest (whether those that constitute Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, those that have been the subject of the Master Servicer’s election authorized in subsection (iv) or otherwise).
 
(b)           On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and apply as follows all Penalty Charges (subject to any allocation provision with respect to Penalty Charges in any related Intercreditor Agreement) and Allocable Modification Fees (in that order) received with respect to a Mortgage Loan or, unless otherwise required to be paid to the holder thereof pursuant to the related Intercreditor
 
 
190

 
 
Agreement, a Serviced Companion Loan or B Note during the most recently ended Collection Period:
 
(i)             first, to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, for all outstanding Nonrecoverable Advances (together with all unpaid Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances), all unpaid Advance Interest on any other Advances and any other outstanding Additional Trust Expenses, in each case, with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan;
 
(ii)            second, as a reimbursement to the Trust of all Advances (and related Advance Interest) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan previously determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances and previously reimbursed to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or Trustee, as applicable, from amounts (other than related Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification Fees) on deposit in the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account as recoveries of such Nonrecoverable Advances and related Advance Interest);
 
(iii)           third, as a reimbursement to the Trust of all other Additional Trust Expenses with respect to such Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan previously paid from the Collection Account (and such amounts will be retained or deposited in the Collection Account as recoveries of such Additional Trust Expenses); and
 
(iv)           fourth, to pay any remaining Penalty Charges and Allocable Modification Fees to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as compensation as set forth in either Section 8.10 or Section 9.11, as applicable.
 
(c)            With respect to any Master Servicer Remittance Date, Scheduled Payments due in a Collection Period succeeding the Collection Period relating to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, Principal Prepayments received after the related Collection Period, or other amounts not distributable on the related Distribution Date, shall be held in the Collection Account (or a sub-account thereof) and shall be remitted to the Distribution Account (or, with respect to payments on the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, the Class 555 Distribution Account) on the applicable successive Master Servicer Remittance Date or Dates. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remit to the Distribution Account or the Class 555 Distribution Account, as applicable, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date for a Collection Period any Balloon Payments received during the period that begins two (2) Business Days immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date and ends on such Master Servicer Remittance Date. In connection with the deposit of any Balloon Payments to the Distribution Account or the Class 555 Distribution Account, as applicable, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall, if it has already reported anticipated distributions to the Depository, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depository to make the revised distribution on a timely basis on such Distribution Date. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable or held responsible for any resulting
 
 
191

 
 
delay or failure in the making of such distribution to Certificateholders. For purposes of the definition of “Available Distribution Amount,” “Principal Distribution Amount,” “Class 555 Available Distribution Amount” and “Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount,” any Balloon Payments that are received prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in any Collection Period but are includable in the distributions on the Distribution Date in such Collection Period as provided above, shall each be deemed to have been collected in the prior Collection Period.
 
Section 5.3     Distribution Account and Reserve Accounts.
 
(a)            The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee shall establish (with respect to clause (i) and clause (ii), on or prior to the Closing Date, and with respect to clause (iii) and clause (iv), on or prior to the date the Certificate Administrator determines is necessary) and maintain in its name, on behalf of the Trustee, (i) an account (the “Distribution Account”), to be held for the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, Distribution Account,” including a sub-account thereof (the “Class 555 Distribution Account”) to be held for the benefit of the Holders of the Class 555 Certificates until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, Class 555 Distribution Account”, (ii) one or more separate accounts (each an “Interest Reserve Account”) to be held for the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, Interest Reserve Account”, (iii) an account (the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account”) to be held for the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account”, and (iv) an account (the “TA Unused Fees Reserve Account”) to be held for the benefit of the Holders until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, titled: “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, TA Unused Fees Reserve Account”.

The Certificate Administrator shall deposit amounts constituting collections of Excess Interest on the Mortgage Loans into the Excess Interest Sub-account. On any Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall have no duty to remit to the Distribution Account any amounts other than amounts held in the Collection Account and collected during the related Collection Period as provided in clauses (v) and (xii) of Section 5.2(a)(I) and the P&I Advance Amount.

In addition, on the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Account the Interest Reserve Initial Deposit which amount shall be part of the Interest Reserve Amounts for the Distribution Date in March 2015. In addition, on the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deposit into the Distribution Account the Initial Due Date Loan Initial Deposit for distribution on the Distribution Date in March 2015.
 
The Certificate Administrator shall make withdrawals from the Distribution Account (including the Class 555 Distribution Account and the Excess Interest Sub-account), the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the TA Unused Fees Reserve Account only for the following purposes:

(v)            to clear and terminate the Distribution Account, the Class 555 Distribution Account and the Reserve Accounts pursuant to Section 11.2.

Advance. The Special Servicer, based on the Appraisal or internal valuation prepared or obtained by the Special Servicer and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.9, shall calculate any Appraisal Reduction and promptly report such amount to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor. The Special Servicer shall calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), B Note and Loan Pair based on updated Appraisals or internal valuations prepared or obtained from time to time by the Special Servicer and report such amount to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor annually. The Master Servicer shall provide the Special Servicer with information (via electronic delivery) in its possession that is required to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s written request (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reductions.
 
In the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, any Appraisal Reduction shall be calculated in respect of such Loan Pair and allocated first, to the 555 11th Street NW B Note up to the Stated Principal Balance thereof (and correspondingly, first, to the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note and then, to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, in each case up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan, pro rata according to their respective Stated Principal Balances.
 
On each and every day following the Closing Date, the then Aggregate Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates and each EC REMIC III Regular Interest shall be notionally reduced (for purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Class, whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect and, as and to the extent contemplated by the definition of “Voting Rights”, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates) to the extent of the then existing Appraisal Reduction(s) (without giving effect to, and exclusive of, any Appraisal Reduction calculated pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Appraisal Reduction” (other than the proviso contained in such sentence)) allocable to such Class or EC REMIC III Regular Interest. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction in respect of or allocable to the Mortgage Loans as of any date of determination shall be applied (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Class, whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect and, as and to the extent contemplated by the definition of “Voting Rights”, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates) to notionally reduce the respective Aggregate Certificate Balances of the various Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the EC REMIC III Regular Interests in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates;

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction calculated for the purposes of determining the identity of the Controlling Class, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis. If all or any portion of an Appraisal Reduction ceases to exist as of any date of determination, then such Appraisal Reduction or applicable portion thereof shall no longer thereafter be applied in accordance with the foregoing two (2) sentences to notionally reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and (consistent with the foregoing) the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the applicable Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest), the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest) and the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) shall be notionally restored to the extent such Appraisal Reduction or portion thereof ceases to exist.
 
On each and every day following the Closing Date, the then Aggregate Certificate Balance of each Class of Class 555 Certificates shall be notionally reduced to the extent of the then existing Appraisal Reduction(s) allocable to such Class. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction in respect of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair that is allocable to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note as of any date of determination shall be applied to notionally reduce the respective Aggregate Certificate Balances of the various Classes of Class 555 Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class 555B Certificates; and second, to the Class 555A Certificates (provided in each case that no Aggregate Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). If all or any portion of such an Appraisal Reduction ceases to exist as of any date of determination, then such Appraisal Reduction or applicable portion thereof shall no longer thereafter be applied in accordance with the foregoing sentence to notionally reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balance of any Class of Class 555 Certificates, and (consistent with the foregoing) the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the
 
 
228

 
 
applicable Classes of Class 555 Certificates shall be notionally restored to the extent such Appraisal Reduction or portion thereof ceases to exist.
 
Any Appraisal Reduction with respect to an A/B Whole Loan shall be allocated to notionally reduce the outstanding principal balance of the related B Note prior to any allocation to the related A Note.
 
Any Appraisal Reduction with respect to a Loan Pair (excluding, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the 555 11th Street NW B Note) shall be allocated between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan on a pro rata basis by Unpaid Principal Balance.
 
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer notice of the occurrence of an Appraisal Event promptly following the Master Servicer’s knowledge of the occurrence thereof, and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer notice of the occurrence of an Appraisal Event promptly following the Special Servicer’s knowledge of the occurrence thereof. With respect to any Loan Pair, the Master Servicer shall deliver to any related Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee (i) notice of the occurrence of any Appraisal Event in respect of such Loan Pair promptly following its knowledge, or receipt of notice from the Special Servicer, of the occurrence thereof and (ii) a statement of any Appraisal Reduction in respect of such Loan Pair promptly following its receipt from the Special Servicer of the calculation or recalculation thereof.
 
The Holders of the majority (based on Certificate Balance) of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates the Aggregate Certificate Balance of which has been reduced to less than 25% of the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance thereof as a result of an allocation of Appraisal Reductions in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right, at their sole expense, to present to the Special Servicer a second (2nd) Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property securing any Required Appraisal Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Upon receipt of such second (2nd) Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second (2nd) Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such second (2nd) Appraisal. Any Appraised-Out Class(es) (together with any other Classes of Control Eligible Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction) shall have the related Aggregate Certificate Balance(s) notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction, and there will be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, as applicable. The right of any Appraised-Out Class to present a second (2nd) Appraisal in connection with any Required Appraisal Loan is limited to one Appraisal with respect to each Mortgaged Property relating to such Required Appraisal Loan.
 
In addition, if subsequent to a Class of Control Eligible Certificates becoming an Appraised-Out Class there is a material change with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties related to the Appraisal Reduction that caused such Class to become an Appraised-Out Class, the
 
 
229

 
 
applicable Requesting Holders shall have the right (except in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), at their sole expense, to present to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by an Independent MAI appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction based upon such additional Appraisal. Any Appraised-Out Class(es) (together with any other Classes of Control Eligible Certificates affected by such Appraisal Reduction) shall have the related Aggregate Certificate Balance(s) notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period, a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, as applicable. With respect to each Class of Control Eligible Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with additional Appraisals as provided in this paragraph is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period.
 
Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by any Appraised-Out Class will be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard upon the occurrence of such material change or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Requesting Holder.
 
Any Appraised-Out Class shall not be entitled to exercise any rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class; and the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the Holders of the next most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any.
 
Copies of all Appraisals and other Third Party Reports obtained pursuant to this Agreement by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property shall be delivered (in electronic format or hard copy) to the other such servicer and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (in electronic format), the 17g-5 Information Provider (in electronic format) and the Trust Advisor.

Any Prepayment Premium collected with respect to a Mortgage Loan (but not a B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, which Prepayment Premium is payable to the holder of the related B Note or the related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable) during any particular Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator on the following Distribution Date as follows:
 
(i)           The respective Classes of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class D Certificates and the EC REMIC III Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) then entitled to distributions of principal from the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date will be entitled to, and the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee will pay to such Classes and EC REMIC III Regular Interests, an amount equal to, in the case of each such Class or EC REMIC

(ii)           Any portion of any such Prepayment Premium that is not so distributed to any of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 or Class D Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interests (and correspondingly, the applicable Exchangeable Certificates) in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i) distributed (the applicable “Class X YM Distribution Amount”) will be distributed to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Class X Certificates as follows: first, to the Holders of the Class X-A Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class A Senior Certificates and the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Component A-S) on the applicable Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; second, to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Component B) on the applicable Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; third, to the Holders of the Class X-E Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class E Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; fourth, to the Holders of the Class X-FG Certificates in an amount equal to the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to the Class F and Class G Certificates on the applicable Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal with respect to all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and EC REMIC III Regular Interests on the applicable Distribution Date, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount; and then, to the Holders of the Class X-H Certificates in an amount equal to any portion of the applicable Class X YM Distribution Amount remaining after the foregoing distribution to the Holders of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E and Class X-FG Certificates.
 
All distributions of Prepayment Premiums, if any, made with respect to a Class of Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date, pursuant to this Section 6.10, shall be made, and
 
 
231

 
 
shall be deemed to have been made, in respect of the various Class X REMIC III Regular Interests that relate to the subject Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts by which the Notional Amounts of such Class X REMIC III Regular Interests declined on such Distribution Date.
 
On each Distribution Date, all Prepayment Premiums, if any, distributed on the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest.

On each Distribution Date, all Prepayment Premiums, if any, distributed on the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to the Holders of the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest.

Section 6.11     Allocation of Trust Advisor Expenses.
 
(a)           On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Certificateholders for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 6.5(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses not attributable to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note to reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class D Certificates, the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) and the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest), in that order, in each case, until the Distributable Certificate Interest of such Class for
 
 
232

 
 
such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero. Trust Advisor Expenses shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable to the Class A Senior Certificates, the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (or, correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates or the Class PST Component A-S), the Class X Certificates, the Class V Certificates (with respect to Excess Interest), the Control Eligible Certificates or any B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW B Note in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) or Serviced Companion Loan.
 
To the extent that the amount of Trust Advisor Expenses not attributable to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note that are payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate amount of Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable on the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest, the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest and the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses shall reduce the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise allocable to (i) the Principal Balance Certificates (other than Exchangeable Certificates) that are not Control Eligible Certificates and (ii) the EC REMIC III Regular Interests. In addition, such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses shall be allocated to reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) that are not Control Eligible Certificates, the Certificate Balance of the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-S and Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth below), the Certificate Balance of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class B and Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth below) and the Certificate Balance of the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class C and Class PST Certificates, pro rata as set forth below) up to the aggregate amount of such reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount in the following order: first, to the Class D Certificates, until the remaining Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, second, to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate Balance of the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate Balance of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class A-S Percentage Interest and the Class A-S-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest) until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest has been reduced to zero; and then, among the respective Classes of Class A Senior Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Aggregate Certificate Balances), until the remaining Aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class A Senior Certificates have been reduced to zero.
 
Trust Advisor Expenses attributable to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note shall reduce the Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise allocable to the Class 555 Certificates. In addition, such excess Trust Advisor Expenses shall be allocated to reduce the Aggregate Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of Class 555
 
 
233

 
 
Certificates up to the aggregate amount of such reduction of the Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount in the following order: first, to the Class 555B Certificates, until the remaining Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero; and second, to the Class 555A Certificates, until the remaining Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero.
 
Any Trust Advisor Expenses (including Excess Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates (including any of the Exchangeable Certificates following the prior corresponding allocation to the related EC REMIC III Regular Interest) shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by such Certificates. Any Trust Advisor Expenses remaining unreimbursed after the allocations set forth in the preceding paragraphs shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution Date that such applicable amounts are available. In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses (including Excess Trust Advisor Expenses) reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Class V Certificates (with respect to Excess Interest) or the Control Eligible Certificates.
 
(b)           On any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses for such Distribution Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise distributable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control Eligible Certificates, (ii) the aggregate amount of Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions therein as a result of Trust Advisor Expenses for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B, Class PST (in respect of Class PST Component B or Class PST Component C), Class C and Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date and (iii) the Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date distributable to the Class 555 Certificates. Any amount of Trust Advisor Expenses that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds are sufficient, in accordance with this Section 6.11(b), to make such payments.
 
(c)           To the extent any Actual Recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses not attributable to the 555 11th Street NW B Note are received during any Collection Period, such amounts shall be allocated first, as an increase in the Aggregate Certificate Balance of each applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest in the reverse order in which the Excess Trust Advisor Expenses were allocated in reduction of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A Senior Certificates, the Class D Certificates and/or any EC REMIC III Regular Interest pursuant to Section 6.11(a), with a corresponding increase in the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date in the aggregate amount of such increases to such Aggregate Certificate Balances and then, as an increase in the Distributable Certificate Interest for the related Distribution Date in respect of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest), Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) and Class D Certificates, in that order, in each case, up to an
 
 
234

 
 
amount equal to the aggregate reduction of the subject Class’s or EC REMIC III Regular Interest’s Distributable Certificate Interest for all prior Distribution Dates (including as payment to a more senior Class of Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest in respect of interest shortfalls created by previously allocated Trust Advisor Expenses), to the extent not previously reimbursed.
 
On each Distribution Date, if and to the extent that Trust Advisor Expenses have been allocated to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest on any prior Distribution Date in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and such reductions in Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest have not been previously reimbursed, then the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class B-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest) will be entitled to reimbursement for the Trust Advisor Expense Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date (with a corresponding increase in the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date): first, out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Holders of the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this paragraph without regard to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”); and second, out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) for such Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the portions thereof distributable on the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this paragraph without regard to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”).
 
On each Distribution Date, if and to the extent that Trust Advisor Expenses have been allocated to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest on any prior Distribution Date in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest, and such reductions in Distributable Certificate Interest for such EC REMIC III Regular Interest have not been previously reimbursed, then the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PST Certificates, pro rata, based on the Class C Percentage Interest and the Class C-PST Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest) will be entitled to reimbursement for the Trust Advisor Expense Interest Shortfall in respect of the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date (with a corresponding increase in the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date) out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Holders of the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, up to (and with a corresponding reduction in) the Distributable Certificate Interest with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date (calculated for purposes of this paragraph without regard
 
 
235

 
 
to clause (A)(3) of the definition of “Distributable Certificate Interest”), reduced by any reimbursement made on such Distribution Date to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest pursuant to the prior paragraph out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Holders of the Class D Certificates.
 
Any reimbursement made out of amounts otherwise distributable as interest to the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to any of the prior two (2) paragraphs, shall be deemed an allocation to such Class or EC REMIC III Regular Interest of the Trust Advisor Expenses being reimbursed to the Holders of a more senior Class of Certificates or the applicable EC REMIC III Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Holders of the related Classes of Exchangeable Certificates).
 
To the extent any Actual Recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses attributable to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note are received during any Collection Period, such amounts shall be allocated first, as an increase in the Aggregate Certificate Balance of each applicable Class of Class 555 Certificates in the reverse order in which the applicable Trust Advisor Expenses were allocated in reduction of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Classes of Class 555 Certificates pursuant to Section 6.11(a), with a corresponding increase in the Class 555 Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date in the aggregate amount of such increases to such Aggregate Certificate Balances.
 
(d)           On each Distribution Date, if any Trust Advisor Expense is allocated to the Class B REMIC III Regular Interest, the Class C REMIC III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest of such Class of Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, then such Trust Advisor Expense will be deemed allocated to the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest in reduction of the Distributable Interest of such Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such Distribution Date. In addition, on each Distribution Date, if any Excess Trust Advisor Expense is allocated to the Class A Senior Certificates, an EC REMIC III Regular Interest or the Class D Certificates in reduction of the Aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest, then such Excess Trust Advisor Expense will be deemed allocated to the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest in reduction of the REMIC II Principal Amount of such Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest.
 
(e)           For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees (and each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of such Certificate, is deemed to acknowledge and agree) that all calculations to be made hereunder in respect of the entitlement of the Control Eligible Certificates to receive interest, principal and other amounts (including P&I Advances in respect to such Certificates) shall be made such that (i) the Control Eligible Certificates shall be paid the amounts to which they are entitled on each Distribution Date as if no Trust Advisor Expenses had been incurred, reimbursed or reimbursable, and (ii) in no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or delay in any manner any principal, interest or other amounts (including P&I Advances) payable or reimbursable to the Control Eligible Certificates.

244

 
 
continuation of the Custodian as such would result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the rating by the Rating Agencies of any Class of Certificates with a rating as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies, then the Depositor may remove such Custodian and appoint a successor custodian by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Custodian so removed, one copy to the successor custodian and one copy to each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or, in the case of the Trust, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates shall each have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee or as separate trustees, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note outside the state where the Trustee
 
 
248

 
 
has its principal place of business where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee is advised by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders, shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment and shall be deemed to have accepted the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee; provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by it with due care and shall have no liability for the actions of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed by the Depositor or the Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph.
 
(b)           The Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, may from time to time appoint one or more independent third-party agents to perform all or any portion of its administrative duties hereunder (i.e., collection and distribution of funds, preparation and dissemination of reports, monitoring compliance, etc.). The Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall supervise and oversee such agents appointed by it. The terms of any arrangement or agreement between the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, and such agent, may be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees if the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, neither the Trust nor the Certificateholders shall have any liability or direct obligation to such agent. Notwithstanding the terms of any such agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall remain at all times obligated and liable to the Trust and the Certificateholders for performing its duties hereunder and for all acts of its agents.
 
(c)           Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(ii)           all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder) the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations, including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;
 
 
249

 
 
(iii)          no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
 
(iv)          the Trustee or, in the case of the Trust, the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than a majority of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, so appointed by it or them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this Agreement.
 
(d)           Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
 
(e)           Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
 
(f)            No separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 7.5 hereof and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any separate trustee or co-trustee hereunder shall be required.
 
(g)           The Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.

Section  7.10     Authenticating Agents.
 
(a)           The Certificate Administrator shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent hereunder for the purpose of executing and authenticating Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Depositor and must be a corporation, national bank or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state and having a principal office and place of business in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
 
 
250

 
 
(b)           Any Person into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of the Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
 
(c)           The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the Depositor; provided that the Trustee may not terminate the Certificate Administrator as Authenticating Agent unless the Certificate Administrator shall be removed as Certificate Administrator hereunder. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(a), the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. No such Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of Section 7.10(a). No Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.

(i)            with respect to any such claim, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall have given the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the Holders of the Certificates written notice thereof promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall have actual knowledge thereof; provided that failure to give such notice to the Depositor, Master Servicer, the Sellers, each other and the Holders of Certificates shall not affect the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s, Certificate Registrar’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, rights to indemnification herein unless the Depositor’s defense of such claim on behalf of the Trust is materially prejudiced thereby;
 
(ii)           while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall consult fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
 
(iii)           notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.11, the Trust shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, entered into without the prior consent of the Depositor (unless the Depositor is in bankruptcy or otherwise legally unable to consent), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
(b)           The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be.
 
(c)           The Depositor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers, employees or agents and Controlling Persons from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, and any action in respect thereof, to which the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers, employees or agents or Controlling Persons may become subject under the Securities Act, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or arises out of, or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or any such director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person in investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Depositor shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged
 
 
252

 
 
untrue statement or omission made in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information concerning the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, furnished to the Depositor by or on behalf of such person specifically for inclusion therein. It is hereby expressly agreed that the only written information provided by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, for inclusion in the Private Placement Memorandum, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus is, in the case of the Trustee, the information for which the Trustee indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Trustee Indemnification Agreement, in the case of the Custodian, the information for which the Custodian indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Custodian Indemnification Agreement and, in the case of the Certificate Administrator, the information for which the Certificate Administrator indemnifies certain parties pursuant to the Certificate Administrator Indemnification Agreement. The Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and the Sellers if a claim is made by a third party that would entitle such Person, its directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons to indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Depositor shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or Controlling Persons may have to indemnification under this Section 7.11(c), unless the Depositor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator. The Depositor shall not be indemnified by the Trust for any expenses incurred by the Depositor arising from any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act by the Depositor.
 
(d)           The Custodian agrees to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and any director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any such Person may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Custodian’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Custodian’s obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of such obligations and duties, a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage from not complying with or not performing such obligations), and if in any such situation the Custodian is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor custodian.
 
(e)           Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify the Depositor, the Trust, the Certificate Administrator (in the case of the Trustee), the Trustee (in the case of the Certificate Administrator), the Custodian and any director, officer, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against
 
 
253

 
 
any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any such Person may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of such indemnifying party’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of such indemnifying party’s obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of such obligations, a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage from not complying with or not performing such obligations), and if in any such situation the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable.

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Trustee Fee, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to receive the Certificate Administrator Fee (other than the portions thereof constituting the Trustee Fee and the Custodian Fee) and the Custodian shall be entitled to receive the Custodian Fee, pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(ii) (which shall not be limited by any provision of law with respect to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties, respectively, hereunder of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator. Each of the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall also be entitled to recover from the Trust all reasonable unanticipated out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred or made by such party in connection with the exercise of such party’s rights or duties under this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its counsel and other Persons not regularly in its employ), not including expenses incurred in the ordinary course of performing its duties (including allocable overhead expenses) as Trustee, the Custodian or Certificate Administrator, respectively, hereunder, and except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Person or which is the responsibility of the Holders of the Certificates hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator.
 
Section  7.13     Collection of Moneys. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator may demand payment or delivery of, and shall receive and collect, all money and other property payable to or receivable by the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall hold all such money and property received by it as part of the Trust and shall distribute it as provided in this Agreement. If the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall not have timely received amounts to be remitted with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note from the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall request the Master Servicer to make such distribution as promptly as practicable or legally permitted. If the Trustee, the Custodian or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall subsequently receive any such amount, it may withdraw such request.

Section 7.14     Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.
 
(a)           On and after the time the Master Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to this Agreement, and if no successor to the terminated or resigning Master Servicer is otherwise appointed hereunder, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide required information shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation (including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s obligation to repay losses resulting from the investment of funds in any account established under this Agreement). In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Master Servicer in this Agreement.

Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act as the Master Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor Master Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for the Master Servicer as set forth herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note as it and such successor shall agree subject to Section 8.10, provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor servicer all documents and records in its possession in electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor servicer to enable the successor servicer to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note.

deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such successor Master Servicer within thirty (30) days of the Trustee’s submission of an invoice with respect thereto, to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the Master Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense.
 
(c)           On and after the time the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.30, or resigns pursuant to this Agreement, and if a successor to the terminated or resigning Special Servicer is not otherwise appointed hereunder, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Special Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for therein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Special Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that, any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to provide required information shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In addition, the Trustee shall have no liability relating to (i) the representations and warranties of the Special Servicer contained in this Agreement or (ii) any obligation incurred by the Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation. In the Trustee’s capacity as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability granted to the Special Servicer in this Agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all the compensation payable to the Special Servicer set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation the Special Servicer Compensation (other than any Workout Fee payable to the predecessor Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.11).
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established commercial or multifamily mortgage finance institution, special servicer or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000, and meeting such other standards for a successor Special Servicer as are set forth in Section 9.30(g), and with respect to which the Trustee has provided a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency, as the successor to the Special Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a special servicer as Special Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee shall act as the Special Servicer as hereinabove provided. Any entity designated by the Trustee as successor Special Servicer may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided that, such Affiliate must meet the standards for a successor Special Servicer set forth herein. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Special Servicer under this Agreement.

256

 
 
Agreement, including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors under Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans of the assignment of the special servicing function and providing the Trustee and successor Special Servicer all documents and records in its possession in electronic or other form reasonably requested by the successor Special Servicer to enable the successor Special Servicer to assume the Special Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor Special Servicer of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Special Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be received by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the Special Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Special Servicer. The Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such successor Special Servicer within thirty (30) days of submission of an invoice with respect thereto but only to the extent such expenses have not been reimbursed by the Special Servicer as provided herein; and such expenses paid by the Trust shall be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense. During any Subordinate Control Period, any appointment of a successor Special Servicer by the Trustee (or the Trustee’s acting as successor Special Servicer) shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to terminate and replace such successor Special Servicer, with or without cause, in accordance with this Agreement (including Section 9.30).

Section 8.1     Servicing Standard; Servicing Duties.
 
(a)           Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, for and on behalf of the Trust and for the benefit of the Certificateholders as a whole, and, solely as it relates to any A/B Whole Loan, for the benefit of the holder of the related B Note and, solely as it relates to any Loan Pair, for the benefit of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust), the Master Servicer (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary) shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans, any B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall process all Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), any B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan (except that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process, and obtain the prior written consent of the Special Servicer with respect to, any such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) that are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans); provided, further, that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Certain of the provisions of this Article VIII make explicit reference to their applicability to Mortgage Loans, any B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan; notwithstanding such explicit references, references to “Mortgage Loans” contained in this Article VIII, unless otherwise specified, shall be construed to refer also to such B Note and Serviced Companion Loan (but any other terms that are defined in Article I and used in this Article VIII shall be construed according to such definitions without regard to this sentence).
 
In connection with such servicing and administration, the Master Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely collection of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders as a whole (or, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair the Certificateholders and the holder of the related B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, all taken as a collective whole); provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer of the collectability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or shall be construed as impairing or adversely affecting any rights or benefits specifically provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer, including with respect to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer, in the case of an event specified in clause (x) of this subsection (b), and the Special Servicer, in the case of an event specified in clause (y) of this subsection (b), shall each send a written notice to the other and to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the Depositor, the applicable Seller and, in the case of an A/B
 
 
261

 
 
Whole Loan, the holder of the related B Note and, in the case of a Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of the related B Note if such B Note is not an asset of the Trust), within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware (x) that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or (y) that a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note has become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of an A Note (or B Note) that was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, its related B Notes (or A Note) has also become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Companion Loan) that was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, its related Serviced Companion Loan (or Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) has also become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan and, in the case of any promissory note comprising the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, each other promissory note comprising the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair has also become a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan), which notice shall be effective upon receipt and shall identify the applicable Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and, in the case of an event specified in clause (x) of this subsection (b), the Servicing Transfer Event that occurred. After the transfer of servicing with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Mortgagor under such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan transferred to the Special Servicer, of such transfer.
 
(c)           With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, in each case if it is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, for as long as it is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any such claim shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
 
(d)           In connection with any extension of the Maturity Date of a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice of such extension to the insurer under the Environmental Insurance Policy (if any) and shall execute such documents as are reasonably required by such insurer to procure an extension of such policy (if available). The Special Servicer shall provide copies of any such notice or documents to the Master Servicer promptly following the execution or delivery thereof, as applicable.
 
(e)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and its related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW B Note) and each A Note and its related B Note is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and each such party agrees that the provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement that are required by their terms to be set forth in this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein. With respect to each Loan Pair and each A/B Whole Loan, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer recognize the
 
 
262

 
 
respective rights and obligations of the Trust and the holders of each Serviced Companion Loan and/or B Note, as applicable, under the related Intercreditor Agreement (or with respect to a Joint Mortgage Loan treated as a Loan Pair in accordance with Section 8.30 hereof, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents), including with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, A Note and B Note, as the case may be, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions of each Intercreditor Agreement, and if any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan, A Note or B Note are then Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall comply with the applicable provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement shall be resolved in favor of the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(f)           Promptly following the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer in accordance with the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement including payment instructions for distributions on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and directing such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to, the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, such holder of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have provided to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer the notices described in this clause (f) if it is the same entity as such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer.
 
(g)           Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be serviced and administered by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. If any Non-Serviced Companion Loan that is an asset under the trust created by the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is removed from the pool of mortgage loans created under such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is otherwise terminated, the servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be transferred, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and shall be serviced and administered by a successor servicing agreement, which shall have similar provisions to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement, and such transfer shall be subject to the delivery by the Master Servicer of a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency.
 
Section 8.2     Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy Maintained by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Servicer Fidelity Bond and a Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy. The
 
 
263

 
 
Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and Servicer Fidelity Bond shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer (unless the Master Servicer self-insures as provided below) and be in form and amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, then the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So long as the long-term rating of the Master Servicer is not less than “A (low)” as rated by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or an A.M.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Mortgagor as though the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, was not a party to this
 
 
265

 
 
Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that this sentence shall not modify the Servicing Standard.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to service and administer any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note if it has become and continues to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, nor shall it be obligated to process Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions with respect to the Mortgage Loans, in each case except as specifically provided herein. The Master Servicer shall be required to make all calculations and prepare all reports required hereunder with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than calculations and reports expressly required to be made by the Special Servicer hereunder) as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and shall continue to collect all Scheduled Payments, make Advances as set forth herein and render such incidental services with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, all as are specifically provided for herein, but shall have no other servicing or other duties with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for its failure to make the calculations or prepare the reports required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such failure is directly caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to provide the Master Servicer with the information that it is required to deliver to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.32(a). The Master Servicer shall give notice within three (3) Business Days to the Special Servicer of any collections it receives from any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, subject to changes agreed upon from time to time by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days after receiving such notice on how to apply such funds. The Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day after receiving such instructions shall apply such funds in accordance with the Special Servicer’s instructions. Each Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, in each case if it becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall continue as such until it becomes a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall not be required to initiate extraordinary collection procedures or legal proceedings with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or to undertake any pre-foreclosure procedures.
 
(c)           Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall sign a Power of Attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer). From time to time until the termination of the Trust, upon written request from a Servicing Officer for additional powers of attorney from the Trustee to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall execute and return to the Master Servicer any additional powers of attorney, substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note including, without limitation, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing or marketing of the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any costs, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee in connection with the intentional or negligent misuse of such power of attorney by the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to Section 9.34 herein, the Master Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s
 
 
266

 
 
representative capacity, or (ii) knowingly take any action that causes the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state, provided that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the initiation of actions relating to a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note that the Master Servicer is servicing pursuant to its respective duties herein (in which case the Master Servicer shall give prompt prior notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action). The limitations of the preceding clause shall not be construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the Trustee under any other provision of this Agreement.
 
(d)           The Master Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments (including servicing fees, special servicing fees, workout fees and liquidation fees) called for under the terms and provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties); provided, that with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, such payments shall be collected from the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, as applicable.
 
(e)           The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note constituting Escrow Amounts separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Amounts shall be deposited within one (1) Business Day after receipt. Each Escrow Account shall be an Eligible Account, to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Eligible Investments pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable. Each Escrow Account shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made only for the following purposes (in no order of priority):
 
(i)             to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Amounts for the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable;

(iii)           for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;
 
 
267

 
 
(iv)          to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement or pay-off of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable;
 
(v)           to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under applicable law or by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer; and
 
(vi)          to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein or to refund amounts to the Mortgagors determined to be overages.
 
Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (i) the Master Servicer may direct any depository institution or trust company in which the Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in one or more Eligible Investments; provided, that such funds shall be either (x) immediately available or (y) available in accordance with a schedule which will permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established; (ii) the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all income and gain realized from any such investment of funds as additional servicing compensation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deposit from its own funds in the applicable Escrow Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such investment of funds immediately upon the realization of such loss; provided, that unless otherwise set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such investment losses shall not include any loss with respect to such investment which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depositary institution or trust company at which such Investment Account is maintained, so long as such depositary institution or trust company (a) satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” both at the time such investment was made and as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such loss and (b) is not the Person or an Affiliate thereof that made the relevant investment. The Master Servicer shall not direct the investment of funds held in any Escrow Account and retain the income and gain realized therefrom if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or applicable law permit the Mortgagor to be entitled to the income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited therein, and the Master Servicer shall not be required to invest amounts on deposit in Escrow Accounts in Eligible Investments or deposit such amounts in Eligible Accounts to the extent that the Master Servicer is required by either law or under the terms of any related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, to deposit or invest (or the Mortgagor is entitled to direct the deposit or investment of) such amounts in another type of investments or accounts. If the Master Servicer is not entitled to direct the investment of such funds, then: (1) the Master Servicer shall direct the depository institution or trust company in which such Escrow Accounts are maintained to invest the funds held therein in accordance with the Mortgagor’s written investment instructions, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or applicable law require the Master Servicer to invest such funds in accordance with the Mortgagor’s directions; and (2) in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to direct the investment of such funds; provided, that if such funds shall be either (y) immediately available or (z) available in
 
 
268

 
 
accordance with a schedule which will permit the Master Servicer to meet the payment obligations for which the Escrow Account was established, then the Master Servicer shall have no liability for any loss in investments of such funds that are invested pursuant to written instructions from the Mortgagor.
 
(f)           The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and to each other under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
 
(g)           With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, if required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, any Lock-Box Agreement or similar agreement, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts (“Lock-Box Accounts”) to be held outside the Trust and maintained by the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage. No Lock-Box Account is required to be an Eligible Account, unless otherwise required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, any Lock-Box Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
(h)           The Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and shall be entitled to any fees paid relating thereto. The Master Servicer shall not permit defeasance (or partial defeasance if permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents) of any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan the second (2nd) anniversary of the startup date of any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan, unless such defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan an adverse REMIC event for any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan) and the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel to such effect (which Opinion of Counsel, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, shall be paid for by the related Mortgagor) and all items in the following sentence have been satisfied. Subsequent to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan the second (2nd) anniversary of the startup date of any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer, in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the 555 11th Street NW B Note or a Serviced Companion Loan shall (to the extent it is not inconsistent with the Servicing Standard): (i) require that the defeasance collateral consists of Government Securities that are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the current guidelines of the Rating Agencies, (ii) determine that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event (or in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan an adverse REMIC event for any REMIC holding such Serviced Companion Loan), (iii) either (A) require that the related Mortgagor designate a Single-Purpose Entity to own the Defeasance Collateral (subject to customary qualifications) or (B) establish a Single-Purpose Entity to hold all Defeasance Collateral relating to the Defeasance Loans, (iv) request and receive from the Mortgagor (A) an opinion of counsel that the Trustee will have
 
 
269

 
 
a perfected, first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral and (B) written confirmation from a firm of independent accountants stating that payments made on such Defeasance Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof will be sufficient to pay the subject Mortgage Loan, and if applicable the related B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan, (or the defeased portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) in full on or before its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on or before its Anticipated Repayment Date) and to timely pay each subsequent Scheduled Payment and (v) provide a Rating Agency Communication to each Rating Agency. Any customary and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.3(h) shall be paid by the Mortgagor of the Defeasance Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage, Mortgage Note or other pertinent document, if so allowed by the terms of such documents. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents to the contrary (but subject to the Special Servicer’s right to process any request with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision or to consent to the Master Servicer processing such request pursuant to Section 8.7(f)), the Master Servicer may accept as Defeasance Collateral Government Securities that are rated below “AAA” (or its equivalent) by any NRSRO notwithstanding any requirements in the related Mortgage Loan documents that require such Defeasance Collateral to be rated “AAA” (or its equivalent) by the applicable NRSROs; provided, that, in any case, the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such Defeasance Collateral will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event (which Opinion of Counsel, to the extent not inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, shall be paid for by the related Mortgagor).
 
The parties hereto acknowledge that if the payments described in paragraph 32 of Exhibit 2 to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements regarding the obligation of a Mortgagor to pay the reasonable costs and expenses associated with a defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, are insufficient to reimburse the Trust, including, but not limited to, rating agency fees, then the sole obligation of the related Seller shall be to pay an amount equal to such insufficiency or expense to the extent the related Mortgagor is not required to pay such amount. If any amount is due under the preceding sentence for any Joint Mortgage Loan, then each of the applicable Sellers shall be required to pay only such party’s pro rate share. Promptly upon receipt of notice of such insufficiency or unpaid expense, the Master Servicer shall request the related Seller to make such payment by deposit to the Collection Account.
 
In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall process any defeasance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the original terms of the respective Mortgage Loan documents, subject to the Special Servicer’s right to service Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, manage any related REO Properties and process Major Decisions and Special Servicer Decisions pursuant to Section 9.1(a) herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, MSMCH has retained the right to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral (“MSMCH Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note originated or acquired by MSMCH and subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall provide
 
 
270

 
 
upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to MSMCH or its assignee. Until such time as MSMCH provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note with MSMCH Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to MSMCH pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BANA has retained the right of the lender under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the BANA Loans to receive a percentage of the economic benefit associated with the ownership of the successor borrower, and the right to designate and establish the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral, if there is a defeasance of a BANA Loan (“BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right”). If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a BANA Loan subject to defeasance, the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to BANA or its assignee. Until such time as BANA provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a BANA Loan with a BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to BANA pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement. In addition, to the extent that the Master Servicer receives any amount in respect of a BANA Lender Successor Borrower Right that is required to be remitted to BANA pursuant to the related defeasance documents, the Master Servicer shall remit such amounts to BANA pursuant to the terms of the defeasance documents.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CIBC has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral (“CIBC Lender Successor Borrower Right”) for all CIBC Loans subject to defeasance other than the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified as “Riverview Commons” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a CIBC Loan subject to defeasance (other than the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified as “Riverview Commons” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to CIBC or its assignee. Until such time as CIBC provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a CIBC Loan with a CIBC Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to CIBC pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, SMF III has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and to purchase or cause the purchase on behalf of the related borrower of the related defeasance collateral (“SMF III Lender Successor Borrower Right”) for all SMF III Loans subject to defeasance other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as “New England Storage Portfolio”, “Chandler Corporate Center II”, “Plaza Quebec” and “Country Meadows Plaza” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. If the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a SMF III Loan subject to defeasance (other than the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified as “New England Storage Portfolio”, “Chandler Corporate Center II”, “Plaza Quebec” and “Country Meadows Plaza” on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), the Master Servicer shall provide upon receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to SMF III or its assignee. Until such time as SMF III provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a
 
 
271

 
 
defeasance of a SMF III Loan with a SMF III Lender Successor Borrower Right shall be delivered to SMF III pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement.
 
(i)            The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) set forth on Schedule V hereto, each of which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a ground lease, space lease or air rights lease, promptly (and, in any event, within forty-five (45) days) after the Closing Date (or, if later, ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a copy of the related ground lease, space lease or air rights lease) notify the related lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such lessor that any notices of default under the related ground lease, space lease or air rights lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.
 
(j)            Subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, (A) the Master Servicer shall be entitled (other than with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), during any period when (i) the A Note and B Note under any A/B Whole Loan, (ii) the Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan under any Loan Pair (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the 555 11th Street NW B Note), and (iii) any Mortgage Loan with any related mezzanine loan, does not constitute a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and (B) the Special Servicer shall be entitled (other than with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), during any period when the notes or other obligations listed in clauses (A)(i) through (iii) above constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, to exercise the rights and powers granted under the related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement to the “Controlling Note Holder”, “Note A Holder”, the “Note A Controlling Holder”, the “Senior Lender”, the “Senior Loan Controlling Holder”, or such other similar term as may be set forth in any such Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement, as applicable, and/or the “Servicer” referred to therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled or required to exercise the rights and powers granted to any “Note B Holder” (except with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note for so long as it is an asset of the Trust) as defined under the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(k)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s authority with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are limited by and subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect thereto under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to monitor the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer pursuant to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Intercreditor Agreement. The Master Servicer shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan
 
 
272

 
 
Master Servicer and the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate Requests for Release to the Custodian in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage File to the applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer or applicable Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 8.4     Sub-Servicing.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer shall supervise, administer, monitor, enforce and oversee the servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note by any Sub-Servicer appointed by it. Other than with respect to the agreements with any other Sub-Servicer (including the Seller Sub-Servicer) under agreements that are in effect on the Closing Date (each a “Surviving Sub-Servicer”), the terms of any arrangement or agreement between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer shall provide that such agreement or arrangement may be terminated, without cause and without the payment of any termination fees, by the Trustee if such Master Servicer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificateholders, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any B Note shall have any direct obligation or liability (including, without limitation, indemnification obligations) with respect to any Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be solely responsible for the payment of compensation to any Sub-Servicer appointed by it. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of enforcement against any of its Sub-Servicers at its own expense, but shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only to the extent that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorney’s fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Notwithstanding the provisions of any primary servicing agreement or sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the applicable Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW B Note and the Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with (and subject to the limitations contained within) the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of indemnification from a Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Mortgage Loans, 555 11th Street NW B Note and Serviced Companion Loans, as applicable. No sub-servicer shall 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, whose consent will be subject to the consent of the Special Servicer.
 
(b)           Subject to the limitations of subsection (a), the Master Servicer may appoint one or more sub-servicers to perform all or any portion of its duties hereunder for the benefit of the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificateholders provided that, after the Closing Date, if and for so long as the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are subject to the
 
 
273

 
 
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Master Servicer shall not enter into a sub-servicing agreement with any Prohibited Party.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sub-servicing agreement with a Sub-Servicer shall provide that (i) the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements of Article XIII of this Agreement, (ii) if and for so long as the Trust or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is deposited into a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such other trust, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the failure of such Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any commercial mortgage loan securitization or (iii) the status of such Sub-Servicer as a Prohibited Party at any time during which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, shall each constitute an event of default by such Sub-Servicer under such sub-servicing agreement upon the occurrence of which any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall have the right to immediately terminate such Sub-Servicer and that such termination shall be deemed for cause.
 
Section 8.5     Master Servicer May Own Certificates. The Master Servicer and any agent of the Master Servicer in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or such agent. Any such interest of the Master Servicer or such agent in the Certificates shall not be taken into account when evaluating whether actions of the Master Servicer are consistent with its obligations in accordance with the Servicing Standard regardless of whether such actions may have the effect of benefiting the Class or Classes of Certificates owned by the Master Servicer.
 
Section 8.6     Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Other Insurance, Taxes and Other. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain for each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, (A) a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy (that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require or so permit the holder of such Mortgage Loan to require, contains no exclusion for damages due to any Act or Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) and which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the outstanding Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and any related B Note and/or Serviced Companion Loan, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance coverage for such Mortgage Loan which the related Mortgagor is required to maintain under the related Mortgage. If the related Mortgagor does not maintain the insurance set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above, then the Master Servicer shall cause such insurance to be maintained with a Qualified Insurer, provided the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless (x) such insurance was required at origination and is available at commercially reasonable rates and (y) the Trustee has an insurable interest. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect to clause (A) above if the Mortgagor maintains, or the Master Servicer shall have
 
 
274

 
 
otherwise caused to be obtained, a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy that is in compliance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, and, if required by such Mortgage Loan documents or if such Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder of such Mortgage Loan to require, the Mortgagor pays, or the Master Servicer shall have otherwise caused to be paid, the premium required by the related insurance provider that is necessary to avoid an exclusion in such policy against “acts of terrorism” as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.
 
Each Standard Hazard Insurance Policy maintained with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard mortgagee clause. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located in a designated special flood hazard area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register, as amended from time to time (to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents or as required by law), the Master Servicer (with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is not an REO Property) shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, cause flood insurance to be maintained. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Loan Pair) or (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program, if the area in which the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are located is participating in such program. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account.
 
Any cost (such as insurance premiums and insurance broker fees but not internal costs and expenses of obtaining such insurance) incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any insurance pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Certificate Administrator for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of the related loan documents permit such cost to be added to the outstanding principal balance thereof. Such costs shall be paid as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer, subject to Section 4.4 hereof.
 
Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to enforce such insurance requirements. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall not be required in any event to cause the Mortgagor to maintain or itself obtain insurance coverage (i) beyond what is available on commercially reasonable terms at a cost customarily acceptable (in each case, as determined by the Master Servicer, which shall be entitled to rely, at its sole expense, on insurance consultants in making such determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard) and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Master Servicer obtaining such insurance, if the Trustee does not have an insurable interest; provided that the Master Servicer shall be obligated to cause the Mortgagor to maintain or itself obtain insurance against property damage resulting from terrorism or similar acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require unless the Special Servicer determines, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, that the failure to maintain such
 
 
275

 
 
insurance would constitute an Acceptable Insurance Default (based on information and documents provided by the Master Servicer as reasonably requested by the Special Servicer). The Master Servicer shall notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) of any determination that it makes pursuant to the proviso to the prior sentence with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan.
 
The Master Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 8.6 either (i) if the Master Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan and any B Note (including the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) serviced by it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided that such policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Master Servicer, for so long as its long-term rating is not less than “A (low)” by DBRS (or, if not rated by DBRS, an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) (or an A.M. Best equivalent)), not less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and not less than “A-” as rated by Fitch), self-insures for its obligations as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 8.6. If the Master Servicer shall cause any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note to be covered by such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note is then covered thereby), if not borne by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Master Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with this Section 8.6 and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under such master force placed or blanket insurance policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the related Mortgage Loan documents or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under such Mortgage Loan documents, the deductible amount with respect to insurance policies generally available on properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any B Note, the Master Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee and the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note, claims under any such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.
 
With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, the Master Servicer (other than with respect to any REO Mortgage Loan, REO B Note or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including
 
 
276

 
 
renewal premiums), and (ii) except in the case of Mortgage Loans (including, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) under which Escrow Amounts are not held by the Master Servicer, effect payment of all such bills, taxes and other assessments with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Amounts as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. If a Mortgagor fails to make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard shall use its reasonable efforts to pay as a Servicing Advance the amount necessary to effect the payment of any such item prior to such penalty or termination date, subject to Section 4.4 hereof. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee as the case may be, in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums and ground rents shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, notwithstanding that the terms of the related loan documents permit such costs to be added to the outstanding principal balances thereof.
 
Section 8.7     Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Due-on-Encumbrance Clause.
 
(a)           If the Master Servicer receives a request from a Mortgagor (or other obligor) pursuant to the provisions of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that expressly permits, subject to any conditions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents, the assignment of the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note by, another Person, then the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant information for purposes of evaluating such request. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, the term “expressly permits” shall include outright permission to assign, permission to assign upon satisfaction of certain conditions or prohibition against assignment except upon the satisfaction of stated conditions, in each case without lender discretion. In addition, if any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note, in each case that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms (i) provides that it shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or (ii) provides that it may not be assumed, or ownership interests in the related Mortgagor may not be transferred, without the consent of the related mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer, then, upon the request of the related Mortgagor or other appropriate party or a potential or actual breach of such “due-on-sale” clause, the Master Servicer shall obtain relevant information for purposes of evaluating such request.
 
In connection with the foregoing, and subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver any such request that involves a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decisions to the Special Servicer, together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that is reasonably necessary for the Special Servicer to make a decision with respect to such Mortgagor’s request. Subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related
 
 
277

 
 
Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and, with respect to any such request that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, while directly processing such request), grant or withhold consent to any such request for such assignment and assumption in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note and this Agreement, or to any such waiver of a due-on-sale clause. With respect to any such request processed by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 8.7(f), (x) the Master Servicer shall obtain the consent of the Special Servicer and such consent of the Special Servicer shall be deemed given if not denied within the period contemplated by Section 10.3, (y) the Master Servicer shall act accordingly and shall not permit any such assignment or assumption or waive any such due-on-sale clause unless (i) it has received the written consent of the Special Servicer or such consent has been deemed to have been granted as set forth in the preceding clause (x), and (ii) with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the Master Servicer has obtained the approval of the holder of the related B Note (with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, only if such B Note is not an asset of the Trust) or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and in accordance with any procedures therefor set forth in Section 10.13 and (z) if the Special Servicer withholds consent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, it shall provide the Master Servicer with a written statement and a verbal explanation, as necessary, as to its reasoning and analysis.
 
The Special Servicer (upon deciding to grant consent (subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement) to any proposed assignment and assumption) or, with respect to any request that does not constitute a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer (upon consent or deemed consent by the Special Servicer (subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement) to any proposed assignment and assumption) shall process such request of the related Mortgagor (or other obligor) and shall be authorized to enter into an assignment and assumption or substitution agreement with the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed, and/or release the original Mortgagor from liability under the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or B Note and substitute as obligor thereunder the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is proposed to be conveyed; provided that neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event or create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall enter into such an assumption or substitution agreement unless the credit status of the prospective new Mortgagor (or other obligor) is in conformity to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, B Note or Serviced Companion Loan documents. The Master Servicer, in making its recommendation to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer, in consenting to the action of the Master Servicer, shall evaluate such conformity in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability, and each of them shall be indemnified by the Trust for any liability to the Mortgagor or the proposed assignee, for any delay in responding to requests for assumption, if the same shall occur as a result of the failure of any Rating Agency to respond to such request in a reasonable period of time.

279

(iii)         the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer, the consummation by the Master Servicer of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Master Servicer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (1) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, in any manner that materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (2) result in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents;
 
 
296

 
 
(iv)         no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which, in the Master Servicer’s reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to service the Mortgage Loans it is required to service hereunder or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;

(c)           Any cause of action against the Master Servicer arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Master Servicer by any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian. The Master Servicer shall give prompt notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Depositor and the Special Servicer of the occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice or the passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.

Section 8.22     Resignation of Master Servicer.
 
(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.22(b) hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it determines that the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor master servicer designated by the Trustee, with the consent of the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and the Trustee shall have provided each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any such NRSRO evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or B Note with a Rating Agency Communication. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer to the other parties to this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall bear all costs associated with its resignation and the transfer of servicing under this Section 8.22(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer shall cease to serve as such in accordance with this Section 8.22(a) and a successor servicer shall not have been engaged, the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee shall assume the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement. If the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee assumes the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.22(a), the Trustee or such agent shall be permitted to resign as master servicer if it has been replaced by a successor servicer satisfying the criteria in the fourth (4th) preceding sentence above.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it, upon thirty (30) days notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator; provided that (i) a successor master servicer (A) is available, (B) has a net worth of at least $15,000,000 and (C) is willing to and does assume the obligations, responsibilities, and covenants to be performed hereunder by the Master Servicer on substantially the same terms and conditions, and for not more than equivalent compensation to that herein provided; (ii) the

Section 8.23     Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right without the prior written consent of the Trustee to (A) delegate or subcontract with or authorize or appoint anyone, or delegate certain duties to other professionals such as attorneys and appraisers, as an agent of the Master Servicer (as provided in Section 8.4) to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder or (B) assign and delegate all of its duties hereunder; provided that with respect to clause (B), (i) the Master Servicer gives the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the holder of any related B Note (only if such assignment/delegation relates to the related A/B Whole Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair), the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (only if such assignment/delegation relates to the related Loan Pair) and the Trustee notice of such assignment and delegation; (ii) such purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement or any other subservicing agreement with any Surviving Sub-Servicer; (iii) the purchaser or transferee has a net worth in excess of $15,000,000; (iv) the Master Servicer shall have provided to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication with respect to such assignment and delegation; and (v) the Depositor consents to such assignment and delegation, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In the case of any such assignment and delegation in accordance with the requirements of subclause (B) of this Section, the Master Servicer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as the Master Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the above, the Master Servicer may appoint the Sub-Servicers in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof.

The Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note in accordance with this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer, subject to Section 9.34, may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Trust in the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, the interests of the holder of any B Note or the interests of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan (subject to the Special Servicer’s servicing of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as contemplated herein), or shall undertake any such action if instructed to do so by the Trustee. In such event, all legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor as Servicing Advances as provided by Section 5.2, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
 
(b)           In addition, the Master Servicer shall have no liability with respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in, any certificates or opinions furnished to the Master Servicer and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall have the right to rely on information provided to it by the Special Servicer and Mortgagors, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof. Neither the Master Servicer, nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Master Servicer or such Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Master Servicer nor any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate, shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.
 
(c)           The Master Servicer shall not be obligated to incur any liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise from any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any other party to this Agreement in this Agreement. The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation,
 
 
300

 
 
warranty or covenant to the extent the Master Servicer is unable to recover such amounts from the Person in breach.
 
(d)           Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
 
(i)           the Master Servicer may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
 
(ii)          the Master Servicer may consult with counsel, and any written advice or opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel; and
 
(iii)         the Master Servicer, in preparing any reports hereunder, may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any information (financial or other), statement, certificate, document, agreement, covenant, notice, request or other paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and provided by any Mortgagor or manager of a Mortgaged Property.
 
(e)           The Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any legal action relating to the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of its respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note entitling the Master Servicer to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, in each case, to the extent the claim is related to its respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, may assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Special Servicer shall not affect any rights that the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Special Servicer’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
 
 
301

 
 
the Master Servicer hereunder. Any payment hereunder made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph to or at the direction of the Master Servicer shall be paid from the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or Special Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor except to the extent achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that the conduct of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, was not culpable or such indemnifying party was found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
 
Section 8.25     Indemnification; Third-Party Claims.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer (the “Master Servicer Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans and any B Notes (including REO Loans), as provided in the following paragraph, against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (collectively, “Master Servicer Losses”) incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, any Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loans, any B Notes, any REO Property or the Certificates or any exercise of any right under this Agreement reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) which constitutes a Servicing Advance that is otherwise reimbursable under this Agreement; (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (iv) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties.
 
Except as provided in the following sentence, indemnification for Master Servicer Losses described in the preceding paragraph (including in the case of such Master Servicer Losses that relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or grantor trust formed hereunder or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions or provisions relating to the grantor trust or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or grantor trust tax or expense with respect to any REMIC or grantor trust formed hereunder) shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note as a whole but not out of collections on, or other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note); provided, that any such indemnification that relates primarily to the administration of the Trust in general (as opposed to specific Mortgage Loans) and is paid out of collections on, or other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans (other than the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan) and the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair shall be paid in the relative proportions
 
 
302

 
 
of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans (other than the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan), on the one hand, and the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, on the other hand (and payments out of collections on the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair shall be allocated among the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan and 555 11th Street NW B Note in accordance with the 555 11th Street NW Intercreditor Agreement). In the case of any such Master Servicer Losses that do not relate primarily to the administration of the Trust, to any REMIC Pool or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or the actual payment of any REMIC tax or expense:
 
(1)           if such Master Servicer Losses relate to a Loan Pair (other than the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair), then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification shall be paid (x) first, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and (y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause (1) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole;
 
(2)           if such Master Servicer Losses relate to any A/B Whole Loan, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) such indemnification shall be paid (x) first, if and to the extent permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, out of collections on, and other proceeds of such A/B Whole Loan, and (y) if the collections and proceeds described in subclause (x) of this clause (2) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole; and
 
(3)           if such Master Servicer Losses relate to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, such indemnification shall be paid, in each case if and to the extent permitted under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, (w) first, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note, (x) second, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, (y) third, out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan and the 555 11th Street NW Serviced Companion Loan, in the relative proportions provided for in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and (z) if the collections and proceeds described in subclauses (w) through (y) of this clause (3) are not sufficient to so indemnify the Master Servicer Indemnified Parties on a current basis, then the balance of such indemnification shall be paid out of collections on, and other proceeds of, the Mortgage Loans as a whole.
 
The Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer) and out of the Trust pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and out of the Trust promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer shall promptly make from the Collection Account (and, if and to the extent that the amount due shall be paid from collections on, and other proceeds of, any Serviced Companion Loan or any B Note, as set forth above, out
 
 
303

 
 
of the related Custodial Account) any payments certified by the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator as required to be made to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 8.25.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify each other party to this Agreement, the Trust, and any director, officer, member, manager, employee, agent or Controlling Person thereof, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that any such Person may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Master Servicer’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Master Servicer’s obligations and duties hereunder (including a breach of such obligations a substantial motive of which is to obtain an economic advantage from not complying with or not performing such obligations), and if in any such situation the Master Servicer is replaced, the parties hereto agree that the amount of such claims, losses, penalties, fines, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses shall at least equal the incremental costs, if any, of retaining a successor servicer. The Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Depositor, as applicable, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by any Person with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans entitling the Trustee, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust to indemnification under this Section 8.25(b), whereupon the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Depositor, as applicable) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Master Servicer shall not affect any rights the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Master Servicer was not culpable or that the Master Servicer did not act with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.
 
(c)           Any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust’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 any legal action relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement and this Agreement and relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (but excluding any such losses allocable to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans), reasonably requiring the use of counsel or the incurring of expenses other than any losses incurred by reason of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
 
 
304

 
 
performance of its duties under the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 8.26     Loan Registry. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the loan agreement for each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VIII attached to this Agreement provides that the related Mortgagor or an agent of the related Mortgagor shall maintain a register (the “Lender Register”) on which it will record the related Mortgage Loan and each assignment thereof and/or participation therein. Promptly following the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall confirm, with respect to each of the Mortgage Loans identified on Schedule VIII attached to this Agreement, that the related Mortgagor or its agent has reflected the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders as the new lender on the applicable Lender Register.

The Master Servicer shall not (A) take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) or on contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)) or (B) take any action or cause the Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i) endanger its status as a grantor trust or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon the Grantor Trust unless the Trustee shall have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such tax. The Master Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for an Adverse REMIC Event resulting from the failure of any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note by its terms to comply with Revenue Procedure 2010-30, provided that the Master Servicer directly pursues any available remedies against the relevant Seller with respect to any breach or violation of a representation or warranty with respect to such Mortgage Loan’s (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note’s) compliance with Revenue Procedure 2010-30.

Section 8.29     Procedure Upon Termination.
 
(a)           Notice of any termination pursuant to clause (i) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28, specifying the Master Servicer Remittance Date upon which the final transfer by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator shall be made, shall be given promptly in writing by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator no later than the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the final payment or other liquidation of the last of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or (ii) the sixth (6th) day of the month of such final distribution. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice of termination, the Certificate Administrator shall forward such notice of termination to the other parties to this Agreement. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Master Servicer (other than the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay to the Certificate Administrator the amounts remaining in the Collection Account as set forth below and the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee and the Trust that survive termination of this Agreement as provided herein) shall terminate and the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Certificate Administrator the amounts remaining in the Collection Account (and any sub-account) after making the withdrawals permitted to be made pursuant to Section 5.2 and shall thereafter terminate the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note.
 
(b)           On the date specified in a written notice of termination given to the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (ii) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28, or on the date on which a written notice of termination is given to the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (iii) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28 all authority, power and rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or otherwise, shall terminate (except for any rights relating to indemnification, unpaid servicing compensation or unreimbursed Advances and related interest); provided, that in no event shall the termination of the Master Servicer be effective until a successor master servicer shall have (i) succeeded the Master Servicer as successor master servicer, (ii) notified the Master Servicer of such succession and (iii) assumed the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement pursuant to a writing executed by the successor master
 
 
308

 
 
servicer and delivered to each of the other parties hereto. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Trustee may not succeed the Master Servicer as servicer until and unless it has satisfied the provisions that would apply to a Person succeeding to the business of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.22(b) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if the Master Servicer is terminated as a result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(v), 8.28(a)(vi) or 8.28(a)(vii), the Trustee shall act as successor servicer immediately upon delivery of a notice of termination to the Master Servicer and shall use commercially reasonable efforts within ninety (90) days of assuming the duties of the Master Servicer, either to satisfy the conditions of Section 8.22(b) hereof or to transfer the duties of the Master Servicer to a successor servicer who has satisfied such conditions. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and related documents or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the servicing function and providing the Trustee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable the successor servicer designated by the Trustee to assume the Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and to effect the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other account or fund maintained or thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note.
 
(c)           If (i) the Master Servicer receives a written notice of termination (A) pursuant to clause (ii) of the first (1st) paragraph of Section 8.28 relating solely to a Servicer Termination Event set forth in clause (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.28(a) or (B) pursuant to Section 8.21 and (ii) the Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written notice of termination, then the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note under this Agreement from at least three (3) but no more than five (5) Qualified Bidders or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders. At the Trustee’s request, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible if less than three (3) Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note under this Agreement.
 
(d)           Each bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder, as a condition of its bid, to (i) enter into this Agreement as successor master servicer and (ii) agree to be bound by the terms hereof, not later than sixty (60) days after termination of the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (or such other Qualified Bidder as the Master Servicer may direct) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor master servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor master servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith to deliver
 
 
309

 
 
the amount of the Successful Bidder’s cash bid to the Trustee or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Trustee or its designee no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
 
(e)           Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder and receipt of such cash bid, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the terminated Master Servicer no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the date specified for the assignment and assumption of the servicing rights hereunder.
 
(f)           If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within thirty (30) days after the termination of the Master Servicer hereunder or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 30-day period, the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 8.29(c) and may act or may select another successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 8.29(b).
 
(g)           If the Master Servicer is terminated as a result of an event described in Section 8.28(a)(viii), then the Master Servicer shall have the right to enter into a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement with the successor master servicer with respect to all applicable Mortgage Loans that are not (and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note if it is not) subject to a sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, if the Master Servicer: (i) (A) is acting as primary servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by DBRS and a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by Moody’s, in each case within the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of determination, and neither DBRS nor Moody’s has downgraded or withdrawn the then current rating on any class of commercial mortgage securities or placed any class of commercial mortgage securities on watch citing the continuation of such primary servicer as primary servicer of such commercial mortgage securities as the sole or material reason for such downgrade or withdrawal (or placement on watch) or, in the case of each such Rating Agency, be otherwise acceptable to such Rating Agency as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, and (B) has a master servicer rating of at least “CMS3” from Fitch or, in the case of each such Rating Agency, be otherwise acceptable to such Rating Agency as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation; and (ii) is acting as primary servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization that was rated by an NRSRO within the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of determination, and Morningstar has not qualified, downgraded or withdrawn the then-current rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates citing servicing concerns with the Master Servicer as the sole or material factor in such rating action.
 
(h)           If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 8.29 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that its or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 8.29, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in
 
 
310

 
 
the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 8.29.
 
Section 8.30     Certain Matters with Respect to Joint Mortgage Loans.
 
(a)           If a Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan (a “Repurchasing Seller”) repurchases, or substitutes for, the Mortgage Note(s) (as such term is defined in this Section 8.30(a)) (a “Repurchased Note”) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, but the other Seller of such Joint Mortgage Loan does not repurchase, or substitute for, the Mortgage Note(s) related to such Joint Mortgage Loan that it sold to the Depositor, the provisions of this Section 8.30 shall apply prior to the adoption, pursuant to Section 14.3(i), of any amendment to this Agreement that provides otherwise. Each Seller of a Joint Mortgage Loan has agreed pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that the terms set forth in this Section 8.30 with respect to the servicing and administration of such Joint Mortgage Loan shall apply if one or more of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan has been repurchased or, by way of substitution, otherwise removed from the Trust and at least one other Mortgage Note related to such Joint Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust until such time as all of the Mortgage Notes related to such Joint Mortgage Loan are no longer included in the Trust. For purposes of this Section 8.30, Section 14.3(i) and Section 14.9 only, “Mortgage Note” shall mean with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan, each original promissory note that collectively represents the Mortgage Note (as defined in Article I) with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and shall not be a collective reference to such promissory notes.
 
(b)           Custody of and record title under the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan shall be held exclusively by the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee) as provided under this Agreement, except that the Repurchasing Seller shall hold and retain title to its original Repurchased Note and any related endorsements thereof.
 
(i)           All of the Mortgage Notes with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Mortgage Note shall have priority or preference over any other portion of the other Mortgage Notes or security therefor. Payments from the related Mortgagor (including, without limitation, any Late Fees) or any other amounts received with respect to each Mortgage Note shall be collected as provided in this Agreement by the Master Servicer and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest (as defined in Section 8.30(b)(ii)), subject to Section 8.30(b)(ii). Payments or any other amounts received with respect to the related Repurchased Note shall be held in trust for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and remitted (net of its pro rata share of any Master Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees, Trust Advisor Fees and any other amounts due to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the applicable Repurchasing Seller or its designee by the Master Servicer on each Distribution Date pursuant to instructions provided by the applicable Repurchasing Seller and deposited and applied in accordance with this Agreement, subject to Section 8.30(b)(ii). If any Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies becomes an REO Loan, payments or any other amounts received with respect to any such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be collected and shall be applied upon receipt by the Master Servicer pro rata to each related Mortgage Note based on its respective Repurchased Percentage Interest, subject to Section 8.30(b)(ii). Any Appraisal Reductions calculated with respect to any Joint Mortgage Loan subject to this Section
 
 
311

 
 
8.30 shall be allocated to each related Mortgage Note pro rata based upon the respective Unpaid Principal Balances thereof.
 
(ii)           If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives an aggregate payment of less than the aggregate amount due under any such Joint Mortgage Loan at any particular time, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive from the Master Servicer an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such payment. All expenses, losses and shortfalls relating solely to such Joint Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, losses of principal or interest, Nonrecoverable Advances, interest on Servicing Advances, Trust Advisor Expenses, Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees (including any such fees related to the applicable Mortgage Notes), shall be allocated between the holders of the related Mortgage Notes pro rata based upon the respective Unpaid Principal Balances thereof. In no event shall any costs, expenses, fees or any other amounts related to any Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or Joint Mortgage Loan other than the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan be deducted from payments or any other amounts received with respect to such Joint Mortgage Loan and payable to the applicable Repurchasing Seller. For purposes of Section 8.30(b)(i), this Section 8.30(b)(ii) and Section 8.30(g), “Repurchased Percentage Interest” shall mean the percentage interest of the applicable Seller in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan.
 
(iii)           A Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies shall be serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard and in accordance with the provisions herein as if (A) such Joint Mortgage Loan were a Loan Pair, (B) the related Mortgage Note(s) not repurchased were (1) a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and (2) the only Mortgage Loan that is part of such Joint Mortgage Loan, and (C) the related Repurchased Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. No Repurchasing Seller shall be permitted to terminate the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor as servicer, special servicer or trust advisor, respectively, of the related Repurchased Note. All rights of the mortgagee under each such Joint Mortgage Loan shall be exercised by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust to the extent of its interest therein and the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with this Agreement.
 
(iv)           The related Repurchasing Seller shall be treated hereunder as if it were a Serviced Companion Loan noteholder on a pari passu basis. Funds collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and applied to the applicable Mortgage Notes shall be deposited and disbursed in accordance with the provisions hereof relating to holders of Loan Pairs that are pari passu in right of payment. Compensation shall be paid to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor with respect to each Repurchased Note as provided in this Agreement as if each such Mortgage Note were a Serviced Companion Loan. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor shall have any obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to any Repurchased Note or, if no related Mortgage Note is part of the Trust, a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note. Except as otherwise specified herein, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have no reporting requirement with respect to any Repurchased Note other than to deliver to the related Repurchasing Seller any document as is required to be delivered to a holder of a Serviced Companion Loan hereunder.
 
 
312

 
 
(c)           If any non-repurchased Mortgage Note relating to a Joint Mortgage Loan to which this Section 8.30 applies is considered a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then any related Repurchased Note shall also be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall cause such related Repurchased Note to be specially serviced for the benefit of the applicable Repurchasing Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and shall be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer under this Agreement as with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan.
 
(d)           If (A) the Master Servicer shall pay any amount to any Repurchasing Seller pursuant to the terms hereof in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been made or will be received or collected in connection with either or both of the applicable Mortgage Notes and (B) such related payment is not received or collected by the Master Servicer, then the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer return such amount to the Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines at any time that any amount received or collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section 8.30 applies must be returned to the related Mortgagor or paid to any other person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the related Repurchasing Seller, and such Repurchasing Seller shall promptly on demand by the Master Servicer repay (which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement) any portion thereof that the Master Servicer shall have distributed to such Repurchasing Seller, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Master Servicer may pay to the related Mortgagor or such other person or entity with respect thereto.
 
(e)           Subject to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the consent and consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative and any consultation rights of the Trust Advisor), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of any of the Repurchased Notes, shall have the exclusive right and obligation to (i) administer, service and make all decisions and determinations regarding the related Joint Mortgage Loan and (ii) enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents as provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the related Mortgagor on or any guarantor of any Joint Mortgage Loan it is required to service and administer as contemplated by this Section 8.30, without the consent of the related Repurchasing Seller, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement as they pertain to a Serviced Companion Loan.
 
(f)           In taking or refraining from taking any action permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be subject to the same degree of care with respect to the administration and servicing of the Joint Mortgage Loans to which this Section 8.30 applies as is consistent with this Agreement; and shall be liable to any Repurchasing Seller only to the same extent as set forth herein with respect to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan.
 
 
313

 
 
(g)           If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has made a Servicing Advance with respect to any Repurchased Note which would otherwise be reimbursable to such advancing party under this Agreement, and such Advance is determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall reimburse the Trust in an amount equal to such Repurchasing Seller’s Repurchased Percentage Interest of such Nonrecoverable Advance with interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (and amounts due to the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall not be offset) for Advances or interest thereon or any amounts related to any Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or any other Joint Mortgage Loan other than such amounts relating to the applicable Repurchased Note. To the extent that the applicable Repurchasing Seller reimburses any such Nonrecoverable Advances and such amounts are subsequently recovered, the applicable Repurchasing Seller shall receive a reimbursement from such recovery based on its Repurchased Percentage Interest of such recovery. This reimbursement right shall not limit the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s rights to reimbursement under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the total liability of each Repurchasing Seller shall not exceed an amount equal to its Repurchased Percentage Interest of the amount to be reimbursed.
 
(h)           Each Repurchasing Seller shall have the right to assign the related Repurchased Note; provided that the assignee of the related Repurchased Note shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
 
(i)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, in connection with their servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement, exercise efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to execute and deliver, on behalf of each Repurchasing Seller as a holder of a pari passu interest in the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents and instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage or other security document related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to the related Joint Mortgage Loan documents, and any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments with respect to the related Repurchased Note or related Repurchased Notes and the related Mortgaged Property all in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement. Each Repurchasing Seller agrees to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement related to the applicable Joint Mortgage Loan; provided that such Repurchasing Seller shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; and further provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, without the written consent of the applicable Repurchasing Seller, shall not initiate any action in the name of such Repurchasing Seller without indicating its representative capacity or take any action with the intent to cause and that actually causes, such Repurchasing Seller to be registered to do business in any state.
 
 
314

 
 
Pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Repurchasing Seller is required to deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan documents related to the applicable Repurchased Note, any requests for release and any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of the related Mortgaged Property or to any legal action or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note(s) or the Mortgage(s) or otherwise available at law or equity with respect to the related Repurchased Note.

If any such Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy or Servicer Fidelity Bond ceases to be in effect, the Special Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer or issuer meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such replacement. So long as the long-term rating of the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not less than two (2) rating categories (ignoring pluses or minuses) lower than the highest rating of the Certificates, but (i) not less than “A (low)” by DBRS, or if not rated by DBRS, then either an equivalent (or higher) rating by at least two NRSROs (which may include S&P, Fitch and/or Moody’s) or DBRS has issued a Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) not less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s, and (iii) not less than “A-” as rated by Fitch, the Special Servicer may self-insure for the Servicer Fidelity Bond and the Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy.

(i)           provides that such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the Mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or ownership interest in the related Mortgagor, or

then, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall, subject to Section 10.3 and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the related Intercreditor Agreement, and in accordance with
 
 
320

 
 
the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions, take such actions as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and may waive or enforce any due-on-sale clause contained in the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage; provided, that the Special Servicer provides each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication prior to waiving the effect of such provision.

To the extent permitted by law, the Special Servicer shall enter into an assumption or substitution agreement that is required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (either as a matter of right or upon satisfaction of specified conditions) and shall otherwise enter into any assumption or substitution agreement only if the credit status of the prospective new mortgagor and the underwriting of the new mortgagor is in compliance with the Special Servicer’s regular commercial mortgage origination or servicing standards and criteria. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any such assignment and assumption or substitution agreement and the Special Servicer shall forward to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) the original of such agreement (and to the Master Servicer, a copy thereof), which original shall be added by the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf) to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
 
(b)           In connection with any assignment and assumption of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in no event shall the Special Servicer consent to the creation of any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on a parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage unless it is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions and the Special Servicer has received the consent of the Applicable Control Party. Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assignment and assumption of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
 
(c)           Subject to the Servicing Standard, the rights and duties of the Master Servicer under Section 8.18 and any rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 10.3, the Special Servicer may enter into any modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the substitution or release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including any modification, waiver or amendment to (i) reduce the amounts owing under any Specially Serviced Mortgage

The Special Servicer, with respect to any B Note and any Serviced Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall notify the holder of the B Note and the Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, of any modification of the monthly payments of an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair, as the case may be, and such monthly payments shall be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The Special Servicer shall not extend the Maturity Date of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property covered by a group secured creditor impaired property environmental insurance policy for more than five (5) years beyond such Mortgage Loan’s Maturity Date unless a new Phase I Environmental Report indicates that there is no environmental condition or the Mortgagor obtains, at its expense, an extension of such policy on the same material terms and conditions to cover the period through five (5) years past the extended Maturity Date, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground lease, the Special Servicer shall give due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease.
 
 
322

 
 
The determination of the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (B) of the proviso to the first (1st) paragraph of this Section 9.5(c) shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate certifying the information in the proviso to the first (1st) paragraph under this subsection (c).
 
(d)           If the Special Servicer intends to permit a Mortgagor to substitute collateral for all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 9.5(c) or pledge additional collateral for the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 9.5(c), if the security interest of the Trust, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or the holder of any B Note in such collateral would be perfected by possession, or if such collateral requires special care or protection, then prior to agreeing to such substitution or addition of collateral, the Special Servicer shall make arrangements for such possession, care or protection, and prior to agreeing to such substitution or addition of collateral (or such arrangement for possession, care or protection) shall obtain the prior written consent of the Trustee with respect thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that the Trustee shall not be required (but has the option) to consent to any substitution or addition of collateral or to hold any such collateral which will require the Trustee to undertake any additional duties or obligations or incur any additional expense. The Special Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication in connection with any consent to the substitution of collateral for any portion of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 9.5(c).
 
(e)           The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Master Servicer, the applicable Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period), the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 5.7, the Rating Agencies (and, solely with respect to an A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related B Note and solely with respect to a Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust)) a notice, specifying any assignments and assumptions, modifications, waivers or amendments executed pursuant to this Section 9.5, such notice identifying the affected Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall set forth the reasons for such waiver, modification, or amendment (including, but not limited to, information such as related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections, and an internal or external appraisal performed in accordance with MAI standards and methodologies (and, if done externally, the cost of such appraisal shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof)). The Special Servicer shall also deliver to the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf), for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment promptly following the execution thereof (with a copy thereof to the Master Servicer).
 
(f)            The Special Servicer may require, in its discretion (unless prohibited or otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents), as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for any consent, modification, waiver or amendment, that such Mortgagor pay a reasonable and customary modification fee to the extent permitted by law. No fee described in this Section shall be collected by the Special Servicer from the Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of the Mortgage Loan if the collection of such fee would cause such consent,
 
 
323

 
 
modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b). Subject to the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to collect any modification fees and other expenses connected with a permitted modification of a Mortgage Loan from the Mortgagor. The inability of the Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses of a proposed modification shall not impair the right of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Custodian or the Trustee to be reimbursed by the Trust for such expenses (including any cost and expense associated with any Opinion of Counsel).
 
(g)           The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer (to the extent required by, and as provided in, Section 8.7) in connection with assignments and assumptions of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). As to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, the Special Servicer shall have the rights and duties set forth in Section 8.7.

(i)           provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor; or
 
(ii)          requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or a lien on an ownership interest in the Mortgagor,
 
then, for so long as such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall exercise (or, subject to Section 10.3 and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or the related Loan Pair, the related Intercreditor Agreement, waive its right to exercise) any right it may have with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Prior to waiving the effect of such provision with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency with a Rating Agency Communication regarding such waiver.

(c)           The Special Servicer shall, with respect to any Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan, deliver to the Master Servicer copies of all documents and instruments in the possession of the Special Servicer related to such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan. Prior to the transfer of servicing with respect to any Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall notify, in writing, the Mortgagor under such Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan of such transfer.
 
(d)           With respect to any Non-Serviced Loan Combination, if pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of such Non-Serviced Loan Combination, the related Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to such party or its designee and shall retain a copy thereof, subject to the execution of an agreement by such party to safeguard such original Mortgage Note and to return such original Mortgage Note promptly when no longer required by such party for such purpose.

In fulfilling such a request, the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for determining whether such information is sufficient for the Trustee’s, the Custodian’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Controlling Class Representative’s or the Trust Advisor’s purposes.

(c)           The Special Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are required to be deposited in any REO Account to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any funds, collected on, or in connection with, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(iii)         the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Special Servicer, the consummation by the Special Servicer of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Special Servicer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (1) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, in any manner that materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (2) result in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents;
 
(iv)         no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Special Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which, in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to service the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;
 
(v)          no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated

(c)           Any cause of action against the Special Servicer arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Special Servicer by any of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator.
 
Section 9.9     Standard Hazard, Flood and Commercial General Liability Policies.
 
(a)           For all REO Properties (other than REO Properties relating to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with a Qualified Insurer (A) a Standard Hazard Insurance Policy (that, if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage so require, contains no exclusion as to any Act or Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002) which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation in an amount which is not less than the full replacement cost of the improvements of such REO Property or in an amount not less than the Unpaid Principal Balance plus all unpaid interest and the cumulative amount of Servicing Advances (plus Advance Interest) made with respect to such Mortgage Loan, any related B Note and Serviced Companion Loan, whichever is less, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (B) any other insurance coverage for such REO Property that the related Mortgagor was required to maintain for the related Mortgaged Property under the related Mortgage, subject, as to earthquake insurance, to the second (2nd) sentence following this sentence. If the improvements to the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and flood insurance has been made available), the Special Servicer shall maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of the then Unpaid Principal Balance of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and unpaid Advances (plus Advance Interest) and the maximum insurance coverage required under such current guidelines. It is understood and agreed that the Special Servicer has no obligation to obtain earthquake or other additional insurance on REO Property, except as required by law but at its sole option and at the Trust’s expense, it (if required at origination and is available at commercially reasonable rates) may obtain such earthquake insurance. The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
 
 
328

 
 
Standard, to obtain a comprehensive general liability insurance policy for all REO Properties (other than any REO Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). The Special Servicer shall, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, use its reasonable efforts to maintain a Rent Loss Policy covering revenues for a period of at least twelve months and a comprehensive general liability policy with coverage comparable to prudent lending requirements in an amount not less than $1 million per occurrence. All applicable policies required to be maintained by the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.9(a) shall name the Trustee as loss payee and be endorsed with a standard mortgagee clause. The costs of such insurance shall be a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
 
(b)           Any amounts collected by the Special Servicer under any insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 9.9 (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the REO Property) shall be deposited into the applicable REO Account for further distribution to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.10. Any cost incurred in maintaining the insurance required hereby for any REO Property (other than any REO Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall be a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding the above, the Special Servicer shall not be required in any event to maintain or obtain insurance coverage beyond what is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided that, subject to Section 10.3, and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall maintain insurance against property damages resulting from terrorism or similar acts if the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents so require unless the Special Servicer determines that the failure to maintain such insurance would have been an Acceptable Insurance Default under the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable.
 
(d)           The Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9 either (i) if the Special Servicer shall have obtained and maintained a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the applicable Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any B Note serviced by it, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those commercially available and maintained by comparable servicers consistent with the Servicing Standard, and provided that such policy is obtained from a Qualified Insurer or (ii) if the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent), for so long as the rating of such Person’s long-term debt is not less than “A(low)” as rated by DBRS, not less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and not less than “A” as rated by Fitch, self-insures for its obligations as set forth in this Section 9.9. If the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and B Note to be covered by such a master force placed or blanket insurance policy, the incremental cost of such insurance allocable to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and B Note (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgage Loan is then covered thereby), if not borne by the related Mortgagor, shall be paid by the Special Servicer, at its option, or by the Master Servicer, in either case as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. If such policy contains a deductible clause, the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been
 
 
329

 
 
maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with this Section 9.9 and there shall have been a loss that would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under such master force placed or blanket insurance policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that such deductible exceeds (i) the deductible under the related Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair or (ii) if there is no deductible limitation required under the Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the deductible amount with respect to insurance policies generally available on properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property which is consistent with the Servicing Standard, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate describing the calculation of such amount. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Companion Loan and any B Note, the Special Servicer agrees to present, on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee, claims under any such master force placed or blanket insurance policy.
 
Section 9.10     Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Special Servicer will prepare and present or cause to be prepared and presented on behalf of the Trustee all claims under the Insurance Policies with respect to REO Property (other than any REO Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to recover under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Special Servicer in respect of such policies shall be promptly remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, upon receipt of properly identified funds, except for any amounts realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the applicable REO Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any extraordinary expenses (but not ordinary and routine or anticipated expenses) incurred by the Special Servicer in fulfilling its obligations under this Section 9.10 shall be paid by the Trust.
 
Section 9.11     Compensation to the Special Servicer.
 
(a)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to (i) the Special Servicing Fee, (ii) the Liquidation Fee and (iii) the Workout Fee. Such amounts, if any, collected by the Special Servicer from the related Mortgagor shall be transferred by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, and deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee from the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. With respect to each REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan secured by two or more Mortgaged Properties, the reference to “REO Property” in the preceding sentence shall be construed on a property-by-property basis to refer separately to the acquired real property that is a successor to each of such Mortgaged Properties, thereby entitling the Special Servicer to a Liquidation Fee from the Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with a final disposition of, and Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with, each such acquired property as the Liquidation Proceeds related to that property are received. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional special servicing compensation of an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Excess relating to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that have, during any Collection Period, been the subject of voluntary Principal Prepayments not from Liquidation Proceeds or from modifications of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for each Distribution Date over the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred with respect to such Specially
 
 
330

 
 
Serviced Mortgage Loans during the same Collection Period. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, the Special Servicer shall retain the right (and the applicable successor Special Servicer shall not have the right) to receive (until the related Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or until the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property) any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans serviced by the Special Servicer that became Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as Special Servicer and that were still Rehabilitated Mortgage Loans at the time of such termination or resignation and (ii) any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan such that the Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, would be deemed a Rehabilitated Mortgage Loan but for the related Mortgagor having not yet made, as of the date of such termination or resignation, three (3) timely Scheduled Payments required by the terms of the workout; provided that in either case no other event has occurred as of the time of the Special Servicer’s termination or resignation that would otherwise cause such Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, to again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
(b)           The Special Servicer shall be entitled to cause the Master Servicer to withdraw (i) from the Collection Account, the Special Servicer Compensation in respect of each Mortgage Loan (but not a B Note) and (ii) from any Custodial Account, the Special Servicer Compensation to the extent related solely to the related Serviced Companion Loan and/or B Note, as applicable, in each case in the time and manner set forth in Section 5.2 of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (and, in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, Loan Pair or Non-Serviced Loan Combination, subject to any provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement relating to the allocation of the amounts set forth below), the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the following items as additional special servicing compensation:
 
(i)           (x) 100% of Unallocable Modification Fees actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans (other than any REO Mortgage Loan that was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); and (y) 50% of Unallocable Modification Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;
 
(ii)          After application as set forth in Section 5.2(b) hereof, (x) 100% of Allocable Modification Fees (that constitute Excess Modification Fees) actually collected during the related Collection Period with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO
 
 
331

 
 
Mortgage Loans (other than any REO Mortgage Loan that was a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); and (y) 50% of Allocable Modification Fees (that constitute Excess Modification Fees) collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;
 
(iii)         100% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and 50% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;
 
(iv)        100% of assumption application fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
 
(v)         100% of Consent Fees on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent that involves no modification, assumption, extension, waiver or amendment of the terms of any Mortgage Loan documents, and 50% of Consent Fees on Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in connection with a consent that involves no modification, assumption, extension, waiver or amendment of the terms of any Mortgage Loan documents and is paid in connection with a consent that (A) is processed by the Special Servicer or (B) the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;
 
(vi)        100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
 
(vii)        (a) 50% of other loan processing fees actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans to the extent that the consent of the Special Servicer is required in connection with the associated action or such action is processed by the Special Servicer, and (b) 100% of other loan processing fees actually paid by the Mortgagors under the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;
 
(viii)       Interest or other income earned during any Collection Period on deposits in any REO Account maintained by the Special Servicer, in accordance with Section 9.14 (net of investment losses with respect to such REO Account for such Collection Period); and
 
(ix)         After application as set forth in Section 5.2(b), any Excess Penalty Charges earned on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
 
 
332

 
 
(d)           The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Loan Pair, A/B Whole Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan (or Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, if applicable), the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 9.11; provided, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.
 
Section 9.12     Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.
 
(a)           The Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and subject to Section 9.3(a), Section 9.12(b), Section 9.12(c), Section 9.12(e), Section 9.17 and Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, shall use its reasonable efforts to foreclose upon, repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged Properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the sale of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement or the modification of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion of ownership, the Special Servicer shall follow the Servicing Standard. The foregoing is subject to the proviso that the Special Servicer shall not request that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance for Liquidation Expenses that would be a Nonrecoverable Advance unless the Special Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole, and in the case of any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) and the Trust as a collective whole).
 
(b)           The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto unless:
 
(i)           such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer;
 
(ii)          such personal property is the capital stock of a settlor and both (A) the Special Servicer takes such action as may be necessary in order to treat the settlor as an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from a REMIC Pool under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 (including by filing an election under such regulation and by creating a wholly-owned LLC of the REMIC for the purpose of acquiring part of such capital stock) and (B) the property owned by such settlor at the time the capital stock is acquired consists solely of “foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions; or
 
 
333

 
 
(iii)         the Special Servicer shall have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (the cost of which shall be reimbursed by the Trust) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by any REMIC Pool will not cause the imposition of a tax on any REMIC Pool under the Code or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action the Trust, or any trust that holds a B Note or Serviced Companion Loan would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA, or any applicable comparable federal, state or local law, or a “discharger” or “responsible party” thereunder, unless, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer has also previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Report prepared by a Person (who may be an employee or affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) who regularly conducts environmental site assessments in accordance with the standards of Fannie Mae in the case of multi-family mortgage loans and customary servicing practices in the case of commercial loans for environmental assessments, which report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, that:
 
(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental expert, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions;
 
(ii)          taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy; and
 
(iii)         there are no circumstances or conditions present or threatened at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management, disposal or release of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, removal, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental expert, that taking such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions (after taking into account the projected costs of such actions);
 
provided that such compliance pursuant to clause (i) and (ii) above or the taking of such action pursuant to this clause (iii) shall only be required to the extent that the cost thereof is a Servicing Advance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof.
 
 
334

 
 
(d)           The cost of the Phase I Environmental Report contemplated by Section 9.12(c) may be treated as a Liquidation Expense, or in the event the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is not liquidated and a Final Recovery Determination has been made with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall treat such cost as a Servicing Advance subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof; provided that, in the latter event, the Special Servicer shall use its good faith reasonable business efforts to recover such cost from the Mortgagor in connection with the curing of the default under the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
(e)           If the Special Servicer determines, pursuant to Section 9.12(c), and subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring any Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, or taking such actions with respect to the containment, removal, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, is not reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than not taking such actions (after taking into account the projected costs of such actions) or than not pursuing a claim under the Environmental Insurance Policy, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) if in connection with a Loan Pair, taken as a collective whole), including, without limitation, releasing the lien of the related Mortgage, and the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such circumstances to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such written notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such written notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7). In connection with the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that a material possibility exists that Liquidation Expenses with respect to Mortgaged Property (taking into account the cost of bringing it into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws) would exceed the Unpaid Principal Balance of the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide written notice of such circumstances to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such written notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such written notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7). The Special Servicer shall have no liability in connection with a release of lien as contemplated in this paragraph so long as it has acted in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of this paragraph.
 
(f)            Subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of maintaining any action with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, any action to obtain a deficiency judgment with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

Mortgaged Property relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer, as its agent, shall direct the appropriate party to deliver title to the related REO Property to the Trustee or its nominee.
 
The Special Servicer may consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a Servicing Advance related to the foreclosure, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) if in connection with a Loan Pair), shall sell such REO Property expeditiously, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 9.15. Subject to Section 9.15, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such REO Property for the holders of beneficial interests in the Trust (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) if in connection with a Loan Pair) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale.
 
In connection with causing the Trust to foreclose on collateral that consists of multiple properties held for sale to customers by the Mortgagor (such as unsold condominium units in a single project), the Special Servicer shall consider the effect of the bidding price for the properties on the tax basis of such properties if such properties are likely to be treated in the hands of the Trust as properties held for sale to customers.
 
Section 9.14     Operation of REO Property.
 
(a)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of each REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to each REO Property one or more accounts held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and the holder of the related B Note if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) if in connection with a Loan Pair) in the name of LNR Partners, LLC (or, with respect to an Excluded Mortgage Loan, CWCapital Asset Management LLC), as Special Servicer on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan and the holder of any B Note as their interests may appear (each, an “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit all funds received with respect to an REO Property in the applicable REO Account within two (2) days of receipt of properly identified funds. The Special Servicer shall account separately for funds received or expended with respect to each REO Property. All funds in each REO Account may be invested only in Eligible Investments at the risk of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer in writing of the location and account number of each REO Account and shall notify the Trustee prior to any subsequent change thereof.
 
 
336

 
 
(b)           On or before each Special Servicer Remittance Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the REO Income received or collected during the Collection Period immediately preceding such Special Servicer Remittance Date on or with respect to the related REO Properties; provided that (i) the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain in the REO Account sufficient funds for the proper operation, management and maintenance of the related REO Property, including, without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements, and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of all such remittances (and the REO Properties to which the deposits relate) made into the Collection Account and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw from the REO Account and pay itself as additional Special Servicing Compensation any interest or net reinvestment income earned on funds deposited in the REO Account. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be for the account of the Special Servicer which shall deposit the amount of such loss (to the extent not offset by income from other investments) in the REO Account, out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided that, such investment losses shall not include any loss with respect to such investment which is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depositary institution or trust company at which such Investment Account is maintained, so long as such depositary institution or trust company (a) satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account” both at the time such investment was made and as of a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such loss and (b) is not the Person that made the relevant investment. If the Special Servicer deposits in any REO Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the REO Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
(c)           If the Trust acquires the Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, to do any and all things in connection therewith as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, subject to the REMIC Provisions, and in such manner as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trust (and in the case of any A/B Whole Loan, the holder of the related B Note and the Trust as a collective whole, and in the case of any Loan Pair, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Trust (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust) as a collective whole), and, consistent therewith, may advance from its own funds to pay for the following items (which amounts shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the Trust subject to Sections 4.4 in accordance with Section 4.6(e)), to the extent such amounts cannot be paid from REO Income:
 
(i)           all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
 
(ii)          all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
 
 
337

 
 
(iii)         all costs and expenses necessary to maintain, operate, lease and sell such REO Property (other than capital improvements and, to the extent necessary to comply with the REMIC Provisions, capital expenditures).
 
(d)           The Special Servicer may, and to the extent necessary to (i) preserve the status of the REO Property as “foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) avoid the imposition of a tax on “income from nonpermitted assets” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of the REO Property, provided that:
 
(i)           the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;
 
(ii)          the terms of such contract shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 856 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-4(b)(5);
 
(iii)         only to the extent consistent with (ii) above, any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Mortgaged Property underlying the REO Property and (B) deposit on a daily basis all amounts payable to the Trust in accordance with the contract between the Trust and the Independent Contractor in an Eligible Account;
 
(iv)         none of the provisions of this Section 9.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property;
 
(v)          if the Independent Contractor is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, the consent of the Applicable Control Party, and a Nondisqualification Opinion, must be obtained; and
 
(vi)         the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
 
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for the Trust (and, if applicable, the holder of a B Note or a Serviced Companion Loan) pursuant to this subsection (d) for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All fees of the Independent Contractor (other than fees paid for performing services within the ordinary duties of a Special Servicer which shall be paid by the Special Servicer) shall be paid from the income derived from the REO Property (or if not available from amounts on deposit in the related REO Account, shall be an Additional Trust Expense). To the extent that the income from the REO Property is insufficient, such fees shall be advanced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 and Section 4.6(e) hereof.
 
 
338

 
 
(e)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of the Trust or the beneficial owners thereof with respect to REO Property which might cause the REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the final sentence thereof) or result in the receipt by any REMIC of any “income from nonpermitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions unless (i) the Trustee and the Special Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s sole expense) to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation, any income generated for REMIC I by the REO Property would not result in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I or (ii) in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer determines the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any tax under the REMIC Provisions relating to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the REO Property to the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer of any election by it to incur such tax, and the Special Servicer (i) shall hold in escrow in an Eligible Account an amount equal to the tax payable thereby from revenues collected from the related REO Property, (ii) provide the Certificate Administrator with all information for the Certificate Administrator to file the necessary tax returns in connection therewith and (iii) upon request from the Certificate Administrator, pay from such account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of the applicable tax. The Certificate Administrator shall file the applicable tax returns based on the information supplied by the Special Servicer and pay the applicable tax from the amounts collected by the Special Servicer.
 
Subject to, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall not:
 
(i)           permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to the REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(ii)          permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(iii)         authorize or permit any construction on the REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten (10) percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
 
(iv)         Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, the REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after the Acquisition Date; unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel at the Trust’s sole expense to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (without giving effect to the final sentence thereof) at any time that it is held by the applicable REMIC Pool, in
 
 
339

 
 
which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that relates to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and all references to the Special Servicer’s obligations in this Agreement with respect to “REO Property” shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 9.15     Sale of REO Property.
 
(a)           If title to any REO Property is acquired by the Trust (or its nominee) in respect of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trust, the Trustee or to its nominees. The Special Servicer, subject to Section 10.3 and the terms and conditions of any related Intercreditor Agreement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property for cash as soon as practicable consistent with the objective of maximizing proceeds for all Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, for the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan and/or B Note, as applicable, as a collective whole), but in no event later than the end of the third (3rd) calendar year following the end of the year of its acquisition, and in any event prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date or earlier to the extent necessary to comply with REMIC Provisions, unless (i) the Trustee or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the applicable REMIC Pool, (A) has been granted an extension of time (an “Extension”) (which extension shall be applied for at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the period specified above) by the IRS for the orderly liquidation of such REO Property (a copy of which Extension and the related application shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator upon request), or (B) is permitted under the REMIC Provisions to continue to hold such REO Property during the period in which the application for such an Extension is pending, in either of which cases the Special Servicer may continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for cash for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits or while the application for such Extension is pending, as the case may be, or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently receives, at the expense of the Trust, a Nondisqualification Opinion, addressed to the Trustee and the Special Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the period specified above after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC, as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding; provided that in no event shall the Trust be permitted to hold any REO Property beyond the end of the sixth (6th) calendar year following the end of the year of such REO Property’s acquisition. If the Trustee has not received such an Extension or Opinion of Counsel and the Special Servicer is not able to sell such REO Property for cash within the period specified above, or if an Extension has been granted and the Special Servicer is unable to sell such REO Property within the extended time period, the Special Servicer shall, after consultation with the Applicable Control Party, before the end of such period or extended period, as the case may be, auction the REO Property to the highest cash bidder (which may be the Special Servicer or another Interested Person) in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, that if the Special Servicer, any other Interested Person or any of their respective affiliated entities intends to bid on or otherwise purchase any REO Property, (i) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such intent,
 
 
340

 
 
(ii) the Trustee shall promptly obtain, at the expense of the Trust, an Appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 6.9) and (iii) the applicable Interested Person shall not bid less than the fair market value set forth in such Appraisal. Neither the Trustee nor any Affiliate thereof may purchase an REO Property.
 
(b)           Within thirty (30) days of the sale of the REO Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period), the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Master Servicer (and the holder of the related B Note, if any, if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust), if in connection with a Loan Pair) a statement of accounting for such REO Property, including without limitation, (i) the Acquisition Date for the REO Property, (ii) the date of disposition of the REO Property, (iii) the sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest (including interest deemed to have accrued) on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the REO Property related, calculated from the Acquisition Date to the disposition date, (v) final property operating statements, and (vi) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (and the holder of the related B Note, if any, if in connection with an A/B Whole Loan and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, with respect to the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, the holder of any related B Note if it is not an asset of the Trust), if in connection with a Loan Pair) may reasonably request in writing.
 
(c)           The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not have any obligations with respect to an REO Property that relates to a Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and all references to the Special Servicer’s obligations in this Agreement with respect to “REO Property” shall exclude any such Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 9.16     Realization on Collateral Security. In connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Trust to any property securing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan other than the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine how best to enforce such rights in a manner consistent with the REMIC Provisions and shall not, based on a Nondisqualification Opinion addressed to the Special Servicer and the Trustee (the cost of which shall be an expense of the Trust) take any action that could result in the failure of any REMIC Pool to qualify as a REMIC while any Certificates are outstanding or could result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or on contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)), unless such action has been approved by a vote of 100% of the Certificateholders (including the Class R Certificateholders).
 
 
341

 
 
Section 9.17     Sale of Defaulted Loans.
 
(a)           Promptly upon a Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and any related B Note holder or Serviced Companion Loan holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.17 and Section 10.3, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan.
 
(b)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period) and the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.
 
(c)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of this Section 9.17 shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offer is from a Person other than an Interested Person, or by the Trustee (determined either by itself or by retaining an independent third party as set forth below), if the highest offer is from an Interested Person; provided that, no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least one (1) other offer is received from an independent third party. In all cases under this Section 9.17, in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee, if making such determination itself, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Loan and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so making an offer. The cost of any such narrative appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Where any Interested Person is among those making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property
 
 
342

 
 
and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding anything contained in this 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 Trust) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing mortgage loans similar to the subject Defaulted Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable 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 as, a Servicing Advance; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(d)           Subject to the other subsections of this Section 9.17, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be for cash. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust (except such recourse to the Trust imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
 
(e)           Subject to the rights of a holder of any related B Note, Serviced Companion Loan or mezzanine loan, under the respective Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement, as applicable, to purchase a Mortgage Loan, unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 9.17, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.
 
(f)            The purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 9.17 shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, and the Custodian (on the Trustee’s behalf), upon receipt of a request for release from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the Custodian and the Trustee, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Mortgage Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the
 
 
343

 
 
Special Servicer (to the extent it has possession of such file) and the Master Servicer (to the extent it has possession of such file) shall deliver the related Servicer Mortgage File to such purchaser.
 
(g)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 9.17, but subject to Section 10.3, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Trust Advisor, during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 10.3), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).
 
(h)           In no event shall the Trust or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any B Note or Serviced Companion Loan.
 
(i)            In the case of a Defaulted Loan that is part of a Loan Pair, if the Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Loan together with the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) as a whole loan pursuant to this Agreement and the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
With respect to any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan together with the related Serviced Companion Loan (and, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Loan Pair for purposes of this Section 9.17 shall be determined by the Special Servicer (unless the offeror is an Interested Person, in which case the Trustee shall make such determination); provided, that no offer from an Interested Person (as defined in the related Intercreditor Agreement) for a Loan Pair shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two bona fide other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received represents a fair price for any such Loan Pair, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9)-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The Trustee shall select the appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person constitutes a fair price for any such Loan Pair, the Trustee shall instruct the appraiser to take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any
 
 
344

 
 
delinquency on the affected Loan Pair, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan (provided that, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, any such expense shall first be borne by the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note and paid out of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note Custodial Account, and then by the holder of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and paid out of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note Custodial Account) in connection with making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the Loan Pair without the written consent of the related Serviced Companion Loan holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Loan Pair; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any 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, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Loan Pair, and any documents in the Servicer Mortgage File requested by such holder and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence; provided, further, that the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note may not be sold without the consent of the 555 11th Street NW Non-Trust B Note holder. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Class Representative, the Serviced Companion Loan holder or a representative thereof shall be permitted to bid at any sale of a Loan Pair.

If, however, the Special Servicer should receive any payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (other than REO Income) it shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt from the Mortgagor or otherwise of any amounts attributable to payments with respect to or the sale of any Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any (but not including REO Income, which shall be deposited in the applicable REO Account as provided in Section 9.14 hereof) remit such payment or other amounts (endorsed, if applicable, to the order of the Master Servicer), to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of each such amount received on or before the date required for the making of such deposit or transfer, as the case may be, indicating the Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to which the amount is to be applied and the type of payment made by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor.
 
Section 9.29     Compliance with REMIC Provisions and Grantor Trust Provisions. The Special Servicer shall act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions and related provisions of the Code in order to create or maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC and the Grantor Trust created hereby as a grantor trust or, as appropriate, adopt a plan of complete liquidation. The Special Servicer shall not (A) take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action that could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) subject to Section 9.14(e), result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including, but not limited to, the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) or on contributions pursuant to Section 860G(d)) or (B) take any action or cause the Grantor Trust to take any action that could (i) endanger its status as a grantor trust, an “investment trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c), or a “domestic trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7 or (ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon the Grantor Trust unless the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such tax. The Special Servicer shall comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not

be liable for an Adverse REMIC Event resulting from the failure of any Mortgage Loan by its terms to comply with Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or other REMIC Provisions.

(ix)         if, and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Special Servicer, or any Servicing Function Participant appointed by the Special Servicer, shall fail to comply with any of its obligations under Article XIII of this Agreement; or
 
 
357

 
 
(x)          if, and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Special Servicer shall fail to terminate, on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in Section 8.4 for a Sub-Servicer of the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer appointed by the Special Servicer.
 
Such termination shall be effective on the date that the Trustee specifies in a written notice to the Special Servicer that the Special Servicer is terminated due to the occurrence of one of the foregoing events and the expiration of any applicable cure period or grace period specified above for such event. During any Subordinate Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to appoint a successor Special Servicer if the Trustee terminates the existing Special Servicer.
 
With respect to any Loan Pair, if any event described clauses 9.30(b)(i)-(x) has occurred that affects the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, such holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer under this Agreement solely with respect to such Loan Pair.
 
Any event described in clauses (i) through (viii) of the first (1st) sentence of the first paragraph of this subsection (b) may be waived by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from the Collection Account or the Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement).
 
(c)           During any Subordinate Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to terminate the Special Servicer (x) for cause at any time and (y) without cause if (A) the Class E Certificates are the Controlling Class of Certificates, (B) LNR Partners, LLC or its affiliate is no longer the Special Servicer or (C) LNR Securities Holdings, LLC or its affiliate owns less than 15% of the then Controlling Class of Certificates, and in the case of either clause (x) or (y), the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to, and shall, appoint a successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements of Section 9.30(g), who shall execute and deliver to the other parties hereto an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; provided that the Trustee shall have provided each Rating Agency and each other NRSRO with respect to any securities rated by any such NRSRO evidencing interests in any Serviced Companion Loan or B Note with a Rating Agency Communication prior to the termination of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph until a successor Special Servicer shall have been appointed. The Controlling Class Representative shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 9.30(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no successor Special Servicer appointed by the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to Section 9.21(a), Section 9.30(b) or this Section 9.30(c) will be required to meet any net worth requirements.
 
 
358

 
 
During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements of Section 9.30(g), (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by, and at the expense of, such Holders to each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) of a Rating Agency Communication with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing such notice to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 9.30(b) and Section 9.31; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer. The Holders of the Certificates that initiated the vote to replace the Special Servicer shall pay the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the removal and replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph.
 
In addition, during any Senior Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trust Advisor may recommend the replacement of the Special Servicer. In such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation (along with the relevant information justifying its recommendation) of a suggested replacement special servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post it on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. The replacement of the Special Servicer based on the Trust Advisor’s recommendation must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis; provided that if a proposed termination and replacement of the Special Servicer following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor is not consummated within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force and effect. If the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates elect to remove and replace the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication at that time. If the successor special servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the
 
 
359

 
 
successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders, provided such successor special servicer satisfies the requirements of Section 9.30(g), subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination. The reasonable costs and expenses associated with the Trust Advisor’s identification of a replacement special servicer, providing the Rating Agency Communications and administering the vote of the applicable Principal Balance Certificates will be an Additional Trust Expense. In any case, the Trustee shall notify the outgoing Special Servicer promptly of the effective date of its termination.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder), to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement and only for so long as it is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, shall have the sole right to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, upon the appointment and acceptance of such appointment by a successor to the Special Servicer; provided that, if the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder) so terminates the Special Servicer, the holder of that Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder) shall appoint a successor Special Servicer who will (i) in the case of the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and to the Depositor; and (ii) execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, whereby the successor Special Servicer agrees to assume and perform punctually the duties of the Special Servicer specified in this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall provide to each Rating Agency a Rating Agency Communication prior to the termination of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.30(d) until a successor Special Servicer shall have been appointed. The holder of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder) shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with the removal and appointment of a Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (unless such removal is based on any of the events or circumstances set forth in Section 9.30(b)). If the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder) terminates the Special Servicer with respect to the related Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, and appoints a successor special servicer with respect to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, then the Controlling Class Representative (or the Holders of the applicable percentage of Certificates) shall not have the right to terminate any such successor special servicer without cause until the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan or B Note or its designee (including, without limitation, in the case of the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair, if applicable, the Class 555 Directing Holder) is no longer the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, as applicable.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, so long as LNR Securities Holdings LLC or an Affiliate thereof owns more than 50% of the Controlling Class or is the representative appointed by such holders pursuant to Section 10.1(a) and (b), such party
 
 
360

 
 
shall have no right to replace or remove the Excluded Mortgage Loan Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Mortgage Loan.
 
(f)           If a separate replacement special servicer is appointed with respect to a Loan Pair or an A/B Whole Loan at the request of the Loan-Specific Directing Holder of such Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan, at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan holder or in respect of any Excluded Mortgage Loan, as applicable, in accordance with Section 9.30(d) or otherwise (any such replacement special servicer, a “Loan-Specific Special Servicer”), such that there are multiple parties acting as Special Servicer hereunder, then, unless the context clearly requires otherwise: (i) when used in the context of imposing duties and obligations on the Special Servicer hereunder or the performance of such duties and obligations, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the related Loan-Specific Special Servicer, insofar as such duties and obligations relate to a Loan Pair or an A/B Whole Loan, as applicable, as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed, and shall mean the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (ii) when used in the context of identifying the recipient of any information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the related Loan-Specific Special Servicer, insofar as such information, funds, documents, instruments and/or other items relate to a Loan Pair or A/B Whole Loan or the Excluded Mortgage Loans, as applicable, as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed in accordance with Section 9.30(d) or otherwise, and shall mean the General Special Servicer, in all other cases; (iii) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer the right to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust pursuant to Section 11.1(b), the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the General Special Servicer only; (iv) when used in the context of granting the Special Servicer any protections, limitations on liability, immunities and/or indemnities hereunder, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean each Loan-Specific Special Servicer and the General Special Servicer; and (v) when used in the context of requiring indemnification from, imposing liability on, or exercising any remedies against, the Special Servicer for any breach of a representation or warranty hereunder or for any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of duties and obligations hereunder or any negligent disregard of such duties and obligations or otherwise holding the Special Servicer responsible for any of the foregoing, the term “Special Servicer” shall mean the related Loan-Specific Special Servicer or the General Special Servicer, as applicable. References in this Section 9.30(f) to “General Special Servicer” mean the Person performing the duties and obligations of Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (exclusive of each and every A/B Whole Loan and Loan Pair as to which a Loan-Specific Special Servicer has been appointed and exclusive of the Excluded Mortgage Loans).
 
(g)           In no event may a successor Special Servicer be a current or former Trust Advisor or any Affiliate of such current or former Trust Advisor. Further, such successor must be a Person that satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers contained in this Agreement (other than any net worth requirement during any Subordinate Control Period when the Controlling Class Representative is appointing the successor Special Servicer in accordance with Section 9.21(a), Section 9.30(b) or Section 9.30(c)) and, if applicable, any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, that no Rating Agency Confirmation shall be required in connection with the appointment of any Special Servicer other than pursuant to Section 9.21(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, any successor Special Servicer and any
 
 
361

 
 
of their respective Affiliates shall not (i) pay, or become obligated, whether by agreement or otherwise, and whether or not subject to any condition or contingency, to pay the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof any fee, or otherwise compensate or grant monetary or other consideration to the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof (x) in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or (y) in connection with the appointment of such Person as, or any recommendation by the Trust Advisor for such Person to become, the successor Special Servicer, (ii) become entitled to receive any compensation from the Trust Advisor (x) in connection with its obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or (y) in connection with the appointment of such Person as, or any recommendation by the Trust Advisor for such Person to become, the successor Special Servicer or (iii) become entitled to receive any fee from the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the appointment of such Person as Special Servicer, unless, in each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such transaction has been expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders.

If (i) the Applicable Control Party affirmatively approves in writing an Asset Status Report, (ii) after ten (10) Business Days from receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is necessary for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party does not object to such Asset Status Report or (iii) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is necessary for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party objects to such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and any holder of a related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as a collective whole, then the Special Servicer shall take the recommended actions described in the Asset Status Report. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information reasonably requested by the Applicable Control Party in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, the Applicable Control Party may object to such Asset Status Report; provided that 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 Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such action before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Applicable Control Party, as applicable. If the Applicable Control Party objects to an Asset Status Report, together with all information reasonably requested by the Applicable Control Party in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary for the Applicable Control Party to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, within the above-referenced ten (10) Business Day period, then the Special Servicer (absent a determination set forth in clause (iii) of the first sentence of this paragraph) shall revise such Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the objection to the Asset Status Report by the Applicable Control Party. The Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as provided in the prior sentence until the earlier of (a) the delivery by the Applicable Control Party of an affirmative approval in writing of such revised Asset Status Report, and (b) the failure of the Applicable Control Party to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt thereof. In any event, if the Applicable Control Party does not approve an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days from the submission of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Applicable Control Party, provided that such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement the new action in such revised report so long as such revised report has been prepared, reviewed and either approved or not rejected as provided above.
 
Other than with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, each of the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) will be entitled to consult with the
 
 
366

 
 
Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report. During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Trust Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative).
 
The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any other specific consent or approval right which the Applicable Control Party may have.
 
The Special Servicer may not take any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, unless such action would be required in order to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Special Servicer takes any action inconsistent with an Asset Status Report that has been adopted as provided above, the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Applicable Control Party of such inconsistent action and provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.
 
The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post the same to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report, in each case with reasonable promptness following the adoption thereof. In addition, the Special Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post same on the Certificate Administrator’s Website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post same on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website) a summary of any Final Asset Status Report (which summary shall solely reflect such Final Asset Status Report and not include extraneous information).
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) the Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to consult with or to seek and/or obtain consent or approval from any Controlling Class Representative prior to acting (and provisions of this Agreement requiring such consultation, consent or approval shall be of no effect) during the period following any resignation or removal of a Controlling Class Representative and before a replacement is selected; and (ii) no advice, direction or objection from or by (x) the Controlling Class Representative, as contemplated by Section 10.3 or any other provision of this Agreement, (y) a Loan-Specific Directing Holder, as contemplated by this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or (z) the Trust Advisor, as contemplated by this Agreement, may (and the applicable Special Servicer shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that such Special Servicer has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause such Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note or any other Section of this Agreement, including the applicable Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (B) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust, (C) expose the Trust, any Certificateholder the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, members,

(i)           With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, without charge and within two (2) Business Days following the end of such Collection Period, and the Master Servicer shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, Word or Excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period, provided that no such report shall be due in respect of any Collection Period during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation to review, or any right or obligation to edit, the Special Servicer’s report on Disclosable Special Servicer Fees.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of all expenditures incurred by it with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which are required to be made by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances as provided herein, subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. The Special Servicer shall also remit all invoices relating to Servicing Advances promptly upon receipt of such invoices.
 
(b)           In addition to any other rights that a Controlling Class Representative or Loan-Specific Directing Holder may have hereunder, the Special Servicer shall from time to time make reports, recommendations and analyses to the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder) or any related Loan-Specific Directing Holder (with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair as to which the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder), as applicable, with respect to the following matters, the expense of which shall not be an expense of the Trust (except for out-of-pocket expenses of the Special Servicer, which shall be reimbursable in accordance with Section 4.6(e)):

(iii)         whether the waiver or enforcement of any “due-on-sale” clause or “due-on-encumbrance” clause contained in a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is in the best economic interest of the Trust;
 
(iv)         in connection with entering into an assumption agreement from or with a person to whom a Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has been or is about to be conveyed, whether to release the original Mortgagor from liability upon a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and substitute a new Mortgagor, and whether the credit status of the prospective new Mortgagor is in compliance with the Special Servicer’s regular commercial mortgage origination or servicing standard;
 
(v)          in connection with the foreclosure on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property which is not in compliance with CERCLA, or any comparable environmental law, whether it is in the best economic interest of the Trust to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith and an estimate of the cost to do so; and
 
(vi)         with respect to any proposed modification (which shall include any proposed release, substitution or addition of collateral), extension, waiver, amendment, discounted payoff or sale of a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), prepare a summary of such proposed action and an analysis of whether or not such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (calculated in accordance with Section 1.2(e)) than liquidation of such Mortgage Loan; such analysis shall specify the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination, including the status of any existing material default or the grounds for concluding that a payment default is imminent.
 
Section 9.34     Litigation Control.
 
(a)           With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded Mortgage Loan), any Serviced Companion Loan or any related REO Loan or related REO Property, the Special Servicer shall in accordance with the Servicing Standard, direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents or any affiliates thereof (each, a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust (including, without limitation, any action in which both the Trust and the Master Servicer are named) and/or the Special Servicer and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights and obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing a Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded Mortgage Loan), A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, or of the Trust or the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Trust-Related Litigation”).

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative or any Loan-Specific Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as

Any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard.
 
(h)           In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or Trust are named in Trust-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate
 
 
371

 
 
with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 9.34.
 
(i)            This Section 9.34 shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Trust-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
(j)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee in its individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee in its individual capacity, the Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (B) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding directly relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise directly relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties pursuant to the power of attorney granted to the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, (i) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, whether in such capacity or individually, (ii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, or (iii) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee to grant such consent); and (C) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, that nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Trust-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Controlling Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, respectively, to the extent required in Section 9.34(c) and subject to Section 9.34(d)) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trust.

In connection with any such action that the Master Servicer is processing, the Master Servicer must obtain the consent of the Special Servicer (which approval shall be deemed given if the Special Servicer does not object within fifteen (15) Business Days (or (A) in the case of an action relating to an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, while the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, or its designee is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, within the period expiring five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder’s decision period under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and (B) in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) of receipt of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation together with any information in the possession of the Master Servicer that is reasonably required to make a decision regarding the subject action), and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to take, or to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, (A) during any Subordinate Control Period, as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days), or (B) in the case of an action relating to an A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, while the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder, as to which the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder has objected within the decision period provided for under the related Intercreditor Agreement, in each case after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer, together with any information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the subject action (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day) period, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action); provided that if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative during any Subordinate Control Period, is necessary to protect
 
 
375

 
 
the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder of such B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be, constituted a single lender), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response; provided, further, that the Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any of the foregoing actions during any Collective Consultation Period or any Senior Consultation Period; provided, further, that the Special Servicer will be required to consult, solely on a non-binding basis (and to consider alternative actions recommended by each such party) (i) during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, with the Trust Advisor, as to any of the Major Decisions, and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, with the Controlling Class Representative with respect to any of the Major Decisions and any other matter as to which consent of the Controlling Class Representative would have been required during any Subordinate Control Period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Master Servicer and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer will not process a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall have no duty to deliver to the Special Servicer any analysis or recommendations in connection with any such action but shall be required to provide all available information that is reasonably necessary for the Special Servicer to make a decision with respect to the applicable Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision.
 
In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, subject to Section 10.3(b), Section 10.3(c) and the immediately following paragraph, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair (other than (x) any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and (y) any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair as long as the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder of such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair) as the Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any loan documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Trust to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder. Furthermore, in addition to the Controlling Class Representative’s rights of consent and consultation (as applicable) as set forth in Section 10.3(a) above, it is understood and agreed that to the extent any other provision of this Agreement requires the provision of notice to, the obtaining of consent of, and/or consultation with, the Controlling Class Representative, or otherwise provides for any right of the Controlling Class Representative thereunder, then none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to take any action (or omit to take any action) in contravention of the applicable rights of the Controlling Class Representative contained in such provision; provided that this sentence is not intended to in any way (i) expand the rights of the Controlling Class Representative, (ii) limit the application of the immediately preceding sentence, (iii) remove any limitations on the exercise of such rights set forth in, such other provisions, or (iv) require the Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer to
 
 
376

 
 
send a notice to, obtain the consent of, or consult with a new Controlling Class Representative whose name and contact information have not yet been provided to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer; and provided, further, that if such other provisions are in any way subject to this Section 10.3, then the exercise of such rights shall be subject to Section 10.3(b) and the immediately following paragraph.
 
If the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any direction or advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any loan documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent, direction or advice and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any loan documents, any Intercreditor Agreement, any applicable law, the REMIC Provisions, or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
 
(b)           During any Senior Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation rights under this Agreement and shall 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 Controlling Class Representative; provided that the Controlling Class Representative (if and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) for so long as the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, the Controlling Class Representative shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights in Section 10.3(a) with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may be, or any related REO Property; and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for so long as the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee is the Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, (i) such Loan-Specific Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may be, or any related REO Property all of the rights and powers of such Loan-Specific Directing Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall not have any of the consent rights or rights to direct the Special Servicer contemplated by Section 10.3(a) with respect to such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as the case may be, or any related REO Property except as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The rights of the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or its designee as Loan-Specific Directing Holder with respect to any A/B
 
 
377

 
 
Whole Loan or Loan Pair will be unaffected by the existence of any Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period.
 
(d)           No Controlling Class Certificateholder or Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to direct the Master Servicer to accept a Principal Prepayment (including payment of a Balloon Payment other than in connection with the foreclosure or liquidation of a Mortgage Loan) prior to the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan for the related Collection Period unless, to the extent otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 10.4     Controlling Class Representative and Trust Advisor Contact with Master Servicer and Special Servicer. Upon reasonable request, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a Servicing Officer available to answer questions from the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (other than during any Subordinate Control Period) regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible (but shall not respond to questions of the Trust Advisor with any information regarding communications between the Controlling Class Representative or a Loan-Specific Directing Holder, on the one hand, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, on the other hand).
 
Section 10.5     Appointment, Duties and Compensation of the Trust Advisor.
 
(a)           (i) The Trust Advisor shall promptly review all information available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website related to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and included as part of the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package (IRP) and each Asset Status Report delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer; provided, that during any Subordinate Control Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Trust Advisor shall only be permitted to review Final Asset Status Reports.

378

 
 
days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer and such agenda shall identify the Asset Status Reports that shall be discussed during the annual meeting. The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports produced and any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Property as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance hereunder. The Special Servicer shall make available senior Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the related platform level information for each annual meeting.
 
(iv)         During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, based on the Trust Advisor’s meeting with the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor’s review of any Asset Status Reports and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Controlling Class Representative or a Loan-Specific Directing Holder and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) and any other information available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, the Trust Advisor shall, in each case, deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (each of which shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year an annual report (the “Trust Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto; provided, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in any Trust Advisor Annual Report consist of Privileged Information or otherwise contravene any provision of this Agreement. Each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall set forth the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Each of the Special Servicer and, during any Collective Consultation Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Controlling Class Representative shall be given an opportunity to review any Trust Advisor Annual Report at least five (5) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.5(a)(iv), no Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required to be prepared or delivered with respect to any calendar year during which no annual meeting described in Section 10.5(a)(ii) shall have occurred or with respect to any calendar year during which no Asset Status Reports have been prepared.
 
As used in connection with the Trust Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Trust Advisor of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Controlling Class Representative or any related Directing Holder,
 
 
379

 
 
as applicable, and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)           The Trust Advisor, as an independent contractor, shall review the Special Servicer’s operational practices in respect of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Special Servicer and perform each other obligation of the Trust Advisor as set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the Trust Advisor Standard. The Trust Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, any Holder of a Certificate or any other Person in connection with this Agreement. Certificateholders are hereby deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that (i) there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the objective of the Trust Advisor’s participation in any resolution process is to provide additional oversight relating to the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute; (ii) the Trust Advisor shall have no authority or duty to make a determination on behalf of the Trust, nor any responsibility for decisions made by or on behalf of the Trust; (iii) the Trust Advisor is not an advisor to any Person, including without limitation any Certificateholder; and (iv) the Trust Advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

The Trust Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction calculations and/or net present value calculations.
 
(d)           During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reductions or (ii) net present value, the Special Servicer shall promptly forward such calculations, and the Special Servicer shall promptly forward any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to the Trust Advisor but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Trust Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation prior to utilization by the Special Servicer provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor will not be permitted to recalculate or verify any Appraisal Reduction or net present value calculations performed by the Special Servicer with respect to any B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for so long as the related B Note holder or Serviced Companion Loan holder is the related Applicable Control Party with respect to the related A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair. The Trust Advisor may not opine on or call into question these calculations, other than with respect to mathematical errors.
 
 
380

 
 
In connection with this Section 10.5(d), if the Trust 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 Trust Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. If the Trust Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Trust Advisor shall promptly notify the Trustee of such disagreement and the Trustee shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Trustee may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Advisor shall have no consultation rights with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans (or any related REO Property) or any Non-Serviced Loan Combination.
 
(f)           During any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Trust Advisor in connection with any Major Decision involving any Mortgage Loan, A/B Whole Loan, Loan Pair or any related REO Property and consider alternative actions recommended by the Trust Advisor; provided, that with respect to matters related to any A/B Whole Loan and any Loan Pair, the Special Servicer shall only be required to consult with the Trust Advisor in respect of such A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable, if the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, is not, or has ceased to be, the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder.
 
(g)           Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Trust Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Trust Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 5.4.
 
(h)           The Trust Advisor shall keep all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any other person (including any Certificateholders), other than to the other parties to this Agreement, to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, which parties, in turn, if they have been advised that such information is Privileged Information, shall not without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative (or with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair any other Applicable Control Party), disclose such information to any other Person, except that such parties and the Trust Advisor may disclose such information if (a) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such parties or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, (b) it is reasonable and necessary for such parties or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (c) such Privileged Information was already known to such party or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (d) such disclosure is required by applicable law, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (which, in the case of any opinion of counsel for the Trust Advisor, shall be a Trust Advisor Expense) delivered to the Trust Advisor,
 
 
381

 
 
the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative (or with respect to an A/B Whole Loan or a Loan Pair the Applicable Control Party), as applicable, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor will be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Trust Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and provided such Trust Advisor Affiliates and subcontractors agree in writing prior to their receipt of such Privileged Information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor and a copy of such agreement is provided to the parties hereto.
 
(i)            The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to the Trust Advisor Fee. In addition, the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Trust Advisor with respect to each Major Decision as to which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights. The Trust Advisor Fee and any Trust Advisor Consulting Fees (to the extent such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 5.2. When the Trust Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Trust Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Trust Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.
 
(j)            The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 10.11, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 5.3, but solely to the extent payable from amounts available as set forth in Section 6.11. The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control Eligible Certificates. Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.
 
(k)           Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Trust Advisor, any successor trust advisor and any of their respective affiliates shall not accept any fees or other compensation or other consideration (x) in respect of the Trust Advisor’s (or successor trust advisor’s) obligations under this Agreement or the performance thereof or (y) in connection with the appointment of a successor special servicer or the recommendation by the Trust Advisor (or successor trust advisor) for a replacement special servicer to become the special servicer under this Agreement.

382

 
 
shall not be required to provide its written policies and procedures to the Trust Advisor, except that, in the event the Trust Advisor’s assessment determines that the Special Servicer has not materially performed its obligations under this Agreement with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan, and LNR Partners, LLC rebuts or defends such assessment based upon its compliance with its written policies and procedures, LNR Partners, LLC shall produce to the Trust Advisor the relevant portions of LNR Partners, LLC’s written policies and procedures, and (iii) the Trust Advisor’s assessment may not take into account the fact that the Trust Advisor did not have access to the LNR Partners, LLC written policies and procedures. Nothing set forth herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Trust Advisor’s platform level review in connection with its preparation of the Trust Advisor Annual Report, provided that the Trust Advisor’s access to or reliance upon LNR Partners LLC’s written policies and procedures shall be subject to terms of the immediately preceding sentence.
 
Section 10.6     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Trust Advisor.
 
(a)           The Trust Advisor hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with each other party to this Agreement, as of the Closing Date:
 
(i)           the Trust Advisor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware;
 
(ii)          the Trust Advisor has the full power and authority to execute, deliver, perform, and to enter into and consummate all transactions and obligations contemplated by this Agreement; the Trust Advisor has duly and validly authorized the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Trust Advisor; and this Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto, evidences the valid and binding obligation of the Trust Advisor enforceable against the Trust Advisor in accordance with its terms subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally as from time to time in effect, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and to matters of public policy with respect to indemnification or contribution as to violations of securities laws;
 
(iii)         the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust Advisor, the consummation by the Trust Advisor of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the fulfillment of or compliance by the Trust Advisor with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not (A) result in a breach of any term or provision of its organizational documents or (B) conflict with, result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or any law, governmental rule, regulation, or judgment, decree or order applicable to it of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it, which materially and adversely affects its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
 
 
383

 
 
(iv)         no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Trust Advisor’s knowledge, threatened, against it, the outcome of which, in the Trust Advisor’s reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or its ability to perform any of its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; and
 
(v)          no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by it of, or compliance by it with, this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval, authorization or order is required, it has obtained the same or will obtain the same prior to the time necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and, except to the extent in the case of performance, that its failure to be qualified as a foreign corporation or licensed in one or more states does not materially and adversely affect the performance by it of its obligations hereunder.
 
(b)           It is understood that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 10.6 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
Any cause of action against the Trust Advisor arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall accrue upon the giving of written notice to the Trust Advisor by any of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator. The Trust Advisor shall give prompt notice to each other party to this Agreement and the Controlling Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period) of the occurrence, or the failure to occur, of any event that, with notice, or the passage of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty in this Section to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect.
 
Section 10.7     Merger or Consolidation of the Trust Advisor. Any Person into which the Trust Advisor may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Trust Advisor shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Trust Advisor, shall be the successor of the Trust Advisor hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that the successor or surviving Person is an Eligible Trust Advisor. If the conditions to the proviso in the foregoing sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate the successor or surviving Person as Trust Advisor, such termination to be effected in the manner set forth in Section 10.12. The successor or surviving Person shall provide prompt written notice of the merger or consolidation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, and for so long as, the Trust, or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trust Advisor may not remain the Trust Advisor under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Prohibited Party, unless (i) the Trust Advisor is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (and if, within forty-five (45) days following
 
 
384

 
 
the date of delivery of a notice by the Trust Advisor to the Depositor of any merger or similar transaction described in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor shall have failed to notify the Trust Advisor of the Depositor’s determination to grant or withhold such consent, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent).

Section 10.8     Resignation of Trust Advisor.
 
(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8(b), the Trust Advisor shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless it determines that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Trust Advisor shall be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee.
 
(b)           The Trust Advisor (at its cost and expense and not at the expense of the Trust) shall have the right to resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement and recommend the replacement of the Trust Advisor (which shall be an Eligible Trust Advisor), provided that the Trust Advisor shall (i) pay, or reimburse the Certificate Administrator or the Trust, as applicable, for, all of the reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trust, as applicable, in connection with obtaining any vote to replace the Trust Advisor (and such fees and expenses will not constitute Additional Trust Expenses), (ii) pay any amounts in the nature of Trust Advisor Fees, costs or expenses, to the extent such amounts are in excess of the amounts being paid to the Trust Advisor prior to its resignation, necessary to obtain or payable to a replacement Trust Advisor, (iii) except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (in which event no consent shall be required), obtain the consent (which shall be obtained prior to any solicitation of votes described below) of the Controlling Class Representative during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, which consent shall be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within thirty (30) days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn and (iv) except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (in which event no vote seeking consent shall be conducted), obtain the requisite vote of Certificateholders as provided below. In such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Special Servicer, a written recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) of a suggested replacement Trust Advisor, which recommendation shall include a ballot that identifies the proposed replacement and that allows the Holders of Principal Balance Certificates to approve or object to such recommendation and, further, shall clearly and conspicuously include on the face thereof the following legend (in all capital letters and at least 14 point font): “FAILURE TO AFFIRMATIVELY OBJECT TO THIS RECOMMENDATION WITHIN 180 DAYS OF THE DATE HEREOF SHALL BE DEEMED AN AFFIRMATIVE CONSENT TO REPLACE THE EXISTING TRUST ADVISOR WITH THE RECOMMENDED SUCCESSOR TRUST ADVISOR IDENTIFIED IN THIS RECOMMENDATION”. The Certificate Administrator shall post such written recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Except in the case of a recommended replacement that is an Eligible Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s

recommendation of a successor Trust Advisor must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Principal Balance Certificates; provided that if any Holder of Principal Balance Certificates does not affirmatively object within 180 days of the date on which such written recommendation was posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, then such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the replacement of the existing Trust Advisor with the recommended successor Trust Advisor. If so confirmed, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the then existing Trust Advisor under this Agreement and appoint the successor Trust Advisor approved or deemed approved by the Certificateholders (provided that such successor trust advisor is an Eligible Trust Advisor). The terminated or resigning Trust Advisor’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of expenses and other rights set forth in this Agreement shall survive its termination or resignation.
 
(c)           No resignation pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall become effective until a successor Trust Advisor appointed as provided in Section 10.12(d) shall have assumed the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
 
Section 10.9     Assignment or Delegation of Duties by Trust Advisor. Except as provided in Section 10.7, the Trust Advisor may not assign or delegate its rights and duties under this Agreement.
 
Section 10.10   Limitation on Liability of the Trust Advisor and Others.
 
(a)           Neither the Trust Advisor nor any of the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, members, managers or agents of the Trust Advisor shall be under any liability to any other party to this Agreement, the Holders of the Certificates, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the holder of any B Note or the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith and using reasonable business judgment; provided that this provision shall not protect the Trust Advisor or any such person against any breach of a representation or warranty contained herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in its performance of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Trust Advisor and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Trust Advisor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person (including, without limitation, the information and reports delivered by or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Master Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Trust Advisor shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its duties under this Agreement.
 
(b)           In addition, the Trust Advisor shall have no liability with respect to, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trust Advisor and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Neither the Trust Advisor, nor any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trust Advisor or such officer was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. Neither the Trust Advisor, nor any
 
 
386

 
 
Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent, shall be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Advisor from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, charges, fees or other expenses which relate to or arise from any such breach of representation, warranty or covenant to the extent such amounts are not recoverable from the party committing such breach.
 
(d)           Except as otherwise specifically provided herein:
 
(i)           the Trust Advisor may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
 
(ii)          the Trust Advisor may consult with counsel, and any written advice or opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel; and

(e)           The Trust Advisor and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Trust Advisor shall be indemnified by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any legal action relating to the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Custodian’s, the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, respective willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard by such Person of its respective duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trust Advisor’s duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of the Trust Advisor’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Trust Advisor shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, if a claim is made by a third party entitling the Trust Advisor to indemnification hereunder,
 
 
387

 
 
whereupon the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in each case, to the extent the claim was made in connection with its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trust Advisor). Any failure to so notify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall not affect any rights the Trust Advisor may have to indemnification hereunder or otherwise, unless the interest of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor hereunder. Any payment hereunder made by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as the case may be, pursuant to this paragraph to the Trust Advisor shall be paid from the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s, as the case may be, own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust therefor, except achieved through subrogation as provided in this Agreement. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final judgment that (x) the conduct of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, was not culpable or (y) such indemnifying party was found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

(a)           The Trust Advisor and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of the Trust Advisor shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust, out of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (subject to Section 6.11) against 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 any legal action relating to this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) specifically required to be borne by the party seeking indemnification, without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any breach on the part of that party of a representation or warranty made in this Agreement; or (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against the party seeking indemnification, resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of that party in the performance of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Trust shall pay, from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.2, all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor.

388

 
 
(b)           The Trust Advisor agrees to indemnify the Trust and each other party to this Agreement and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents or Controlling Persons, and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Trust or any such party may sustain arising from or as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties hereunder by the Trust Advisor. The Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trust Advisor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, the Mortgage Loans or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note entitling the Trust or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, to indemnification hereunder, whereupon the Trust Advisor shall assume the defense of any such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim. Any failure to so notify the Trust Advisor shall not affect any rights the Trust or the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer may have to indemnification under this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Trust Advisor’s defense of such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee. The Trust Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for any payment made by the Trust Advisor pursuant to this paragraph. Any expenses incurred or indemnification payments made by the Trust Advisor shall be reimbursed by the party so paid or at the direction of which a payment was made, if a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final, non-appealable judgment that the conduct of the Trust Advisor was not culpable or such indemnifying party was found to not have acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

(vii)        if, and for so long as the Trust or a trust created pursuant to an Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Trust Advisor shall fail to deliver any Regulation AB and any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by it under Article XIII of this Agreement at the times required under such Article.
 
Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Trust Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If a Trust Advisor Termination Event shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Trust Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor.

390

 
 
(b)           Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of all the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate the existing Trust Advisor and to replace the existing Trust Advisor with a proposed successor Trust Advisor that is an Eligible Trust Advisor, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Trust, the Certificate Administrator and the Trust Advisor, as applicable, of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Trust, the Certificate Administrator and the Trust Advisor, as applicable, in connection with such vote (which fees and expenses will not constitute Additional Trust Expenses) and (iii) obtaining the consent (which shall be obtained prior to any solicitation of votes below) of the Controlling Class Representative during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice of the requested vote described in clause (i) above to all Certificateholders by (A) posting such notice on its internet website and including in the next Distribution Date Statement a statement that such request was received, and (B) mailing it to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of all the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (other than the right to receive accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder) and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Loan Pair by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor; provided that if that written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Trust Advisor, then that written direction will have no force and effect. In addition, the Holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of all the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) may direct the Trustee not to replace the terminated Trust Advisor); provided that if at any time there is no Trust Advisor acting in such capacity, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the rights (other than the right to receive accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder) and obligations of the Trust Advisor will have no force and effect; and provided, further, that, if the Holders of at least 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) subsequently request a vote to reinstate the role of Trust Advisor and appoint a new Trust Advisor under this Agreement, and the Holders of at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) vote in favor of such reinstatement and appointment, then a new Trust Advisor will be appointed and references to Trust Advisor in this Agreement will again be applicable. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 10.12(b) shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Trust Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions; provided that this sentence shall not affect the Trust Advisor’s right to receive accrued and unpaid fees and expense reimbursements and the right to indemnification hereunder. As between the Trust Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Trust Advisor.
 
(c)           If there are no Classes of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, then the Holders of Certificates representing greater than
 
 
391

 
 
50% of the junior-most Class of such Classes of Certificates outstanding may elect to terminate the Trust Advisor without payment of any termination fee by written notice delivered to the Depositor and the Trust Advisor; provided, that the Certificate Balances of all Class 555 Certificates have been reduced to zero. Upon its receipt of notice from such Holders of their election to so terminate the Trust Advisor, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Trust Advisor. If the Trust Advisor is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.12(c), then no replacement Trust Advisor will be appointed.
 
(d)           On or after the receipt by the Trust Advisor of written notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.12(a), Section 10.12(b) or Section 10.12(c), or the effectiveness of any resignation by the Trust Advisor pursuant to Section 10.8, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Trust Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such longer period of time as may be reasonably necessary to find a willing successor trust advisor if no willing successor trust advisor can be identified in such fifteen (15) Business Day period) after (1) the Trust Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 10.8 or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Trust Advisor pursuant to Section 10.12(a) or Section 10.12(b), the Trustee shall appoint a successor Trust Advisor (to the extent a willing successor trust advisor can be identified) that is an Eligible Trust Advisor (which successor Trust Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee) and shall be the recommended or proposed Trust Advisor in the case of a resignation pursuant to Section 10.8(b) or a termination pursuant to Section 10.12(b). During any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, to any replacement for a Trust Advisor terminated pursuant to Section 10.12(a) (except that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Controlling Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn). If the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Trust Advisor. If the termination of the Trust Advisor is pursuant to Section 10.12(b), and if the Holders of Certificates representing more than 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) so direct, then the Trustee shall not replace the terminated Trust Advisor (subject to the provisos to the third (3rd) sentence of Section 10.12(b)). Except as contemplated by Section 10.12(b), and except for any consent rights of the Controlling Class Representative expressly set forth in this Article X, the appointment of the successor Trust Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the Holder of any Class of Certificates. The Trust Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Seller or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Trust Advisor, including by means of an affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Trust Advisor shall immediately resign, and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Trust Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 10.12(d).
 
Upon any resignation or termination of the Trust Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor Trust Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who
 
 
392

 
 
shall promptly post such notice to the Certificateholder’s Website pursuant to Section 5.4), the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 5.7), the Depositor, the Certificateholders and, during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative. If the Trust Advisor resigns or is terminated for any reason, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all fees, expenses and indemnities accrued and owing to it under this Agreement which shall be payable in accordance with the priorities and subject to the limitations set forth herein including, without limitation, Section 6.11).
 
Section 10.13     Rights of the Holders of a B Note and Serviced Companion Loan. With respect to each A/B Whole Loan (if any) and Loan Pair (if any), the holder of any related B Note and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan shall have such consent rights or consultation rights, if any, during the specified time periods, as are set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that immediate action is necessary to protect the interest of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole), then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable may take any such action without waiting for the response of the holder of the B Note or holder of the Serviced Companion Loan provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
In addition, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of a B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan may direct the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to take, or to refrain from taking, such actions as such holder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Upon reasonable request, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, with respect to any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, provide the holder of a B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan with any information in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, possession with respect to such matters, including its reasons for determining to take a proposed action.
 
If the holder of a B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan (in each case for so long as it is the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder) shall direct the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to take any action (other than those provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement or in this Agreement), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive reimbursement from collections on and other proceeds of such B Note or Serviced Companion Loan for (i) its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in taking such action and (ii) to the extent that such action constitutes an extraordinary action not in the ordinary course of administering and servicing such mortgage loan, other reasonable costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in taking such action. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall notify such holder, prior to taking the related action, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer anticipates that it will seek reimbursement therefor under the preceding sentence,
 
 
393

 
 
and of the estimated amount of such reimbursement, and shall further notify such holder if it intends to obtain actual reimbursement in excess of the estimated amount.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction or objection from the holder of a B Note or holder of a Serviced Companion Loan, as contemplated by this Agreement, may (and the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, shall ignore and act without regard to any such advice, direction or objection that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, will) (i) require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any provision of this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (ii) result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust, (iii) expose the Trust, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
 
With respect to any B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer (if the B Note or Serviced Companion Loan has not become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property has not become an REO Property) or the Special Servicer (if the B Note or Serviced Companion Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property) shall prepare and make available (or to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, deliver) to the holder of such B Note or Serviced Companion Loan, the related Loan-Specific Directing Holder and the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing-related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
If the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan notifies the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of any changes in the name and contact information of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the party receiving such information shall promptly notify the other such parties thereof. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each conclusively rely on the information so provided to it by any other such party regarding identity and/or contact information of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have any liability for notices or reports not sent to the correct holder of any Serviced Companion Loan or any obligation to obtain the consent of or consult with the correct holder of any Serviced Companion Loan to the extent any other such party or the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan has not provided updated or correct information regarding the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or has not provided the most recent identity and/or contact information regarding the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Section 10.14     Rights of Non-Directing Holders. With respect to each Loan Pair (as and to the extent provided for under the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:
 
(a)           consult with the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision” or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Loan Pair, as applicable, and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative); provided, that, subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, if the related Non-Directing Holder fails to respond within ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the related Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the related notice, information or report, or any other communication relating to a proposed action, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall no longer be obligated to consult with the applicable Non-Directing Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision” or “major action” set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan. Unless otherwise specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Non-Directing Holder; and
 
(b)           in addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, as and to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Non-Directing Holder shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, as applicable, are discussed.
 
ARTICLE XI
PURCHASE AND TERMINATION OF THE TRUST
 
Section 11.1     Termination of Trust Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
 
(a)           The obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the
 
 
395

 
 
later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note remaining in the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) below; provided that in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.
 
(b)           If on any date the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note are, in the aggregate, less than or equal to 1.0% of the sum of (i) the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (excluding from the initial Aggregate Stated Principal Balance and the then-outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, solely for purposes of this calculation, the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as “U-Haul Galaxy Portfolio” and “Broadway Corners”) and (ii) the principal balance of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note as of the Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such date. The Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward such notice to the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor, the Holders of a majority of the most subordinate Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) or Exchangeable Certificates then outstanding (for this purpose considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the portion of the Class PST Certificates representing an interest in the EC REMIC III Regular Interest bearing the same alphabetic designation), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Holders of the Class R Certificates. The Holders of a majority of the most subordinate Class of REMIC III Regular Certificates (other than the Class 555 Certificates) or Exchangeable Certificates then outstanding (for this purpose considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the portion of the Class PST Certificates representing an interest in the EC REMIC III Regular Interest bearing the same alphabetic designation), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Holder of Certificates representing a majority interest in the Class R Certificates, in such priority (and in the case of the Class R Certificateholders, a majority of the Class R Certificateholders), may purchase, in whole only, the Mortgage Loans (in the case of any A/B Whole Loan or Loan Pair, subject to the rights of the holder of the related B Note or Serviced Companion Loan provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement), the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any other property, if any (including, without limitation, any REO property), remaining in the Trust. If any party desires to exercise such option, it will notify the Certificate Administrator who shall notify any party with a prior right to exercise such option. If any party that has been provided notice by the Certificate Administrator (excluding the Depositor) notifies the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of the proposed purchase that it wishes to purchase the assets of the Trust, then such party (or, if more than one of such parties notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to purchase the assets of the Trust, the party with the first right to purchase the assets of the Trust) may purchase the assets of the Trust in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of the Termination Price set forth below, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian in
 
 
396

 
 
writing of its receipt thereof, and the Trustee shall thereupon direct the Custodian promptly to release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Person(s) exercising the option set forth in this Section 11.1(b) the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note. The “Termination Price” shall equal 100% of the aggregate Unpaid Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note (other than REO Mortgage Loans, REO B Notes and Mortgage Loans (or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, if applicable) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made) on the day of such purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rates (or Mortgage Rates less the Master Servicing Fee Rate if the Master Servicer is the purchaser), to the Due Date for each Mortgage Loan or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, as applicable, ending in the Collection Period with respect to which such purchase occurs, plus unreimbursed Advances and interest on such unreimbursed Advances at the Advance Rate, and the fair market value of any REO Properties and other property remaining in REMIC I. Any person or entity making the purchase shall also be responsible for reimbursing the parties to this Agreement for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with such purchase. The Trustee shall consult with the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers or their respective successors, as advisers, in order for the Trustee to determine whether the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered; provided that, if an Affiliate of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser is exercising its right to purchase the Trust assets, the Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer in order for the Trustee to determine whether the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered, provided that the Special Servicer is not an Affiliate of any Holder of Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (the fees and expenses of such determination which shall be paid for by the buyer of the property constituting the Trust). If the Trustee consults with any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser or their respective successors, or with the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any written confirmation given by such party as to whether the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered. As a condition to the purchase of the Trust assets pursuant to this Section 11.1(b), the Person(s) exercising the option must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which shall be at the expense of such Person(s) stating that such termination will be a “qualified liquidation” under section 860F(a)(4) of the Code. Such purchase shall be made in accordance with Section 11.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is required to determine whether an offer represents the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust, unless it is otherwise required to consult with any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser or their respective successors, or with the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to this Section, the Trustee shall be permitted to designate an independent third party expert (the fees and expenses of which shall be paid for by the buyer of the property constituting the Trust) in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing commercial real estate assets similar to the property constituting the Trust, to determine whether the fair market value of the property constituting the Trust has been offered. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.
 
(c)           [Reserved]
 
(d)           Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class PST, Class C and
 
 
397

 
 
Class D Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (including the Class 555 Certificates, but other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by Section 11.1(a)(iii) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. If the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates)) for all of the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust (in each case, and where applicable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.2 or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.3, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Excess Interest Sub-Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 11.2. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the REMIC I for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates and Class 555 Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and REMIC I Interests.
 
(e)           Upon the termination of the Trust, any Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets held by the Grantor Trust shall be distributed to the Class V Certificateholders on a pro rata basis.
 
(f)            Upon the sale of the A Note relating to an A/B Whole Loan by the Trust or the payment in full of such A Note, the related B Note shall no longer be subject to this Agreement and shall no longer be serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
 
Section 11.2     Procedure Upon Termination of Trust.
 
(a)           Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.1, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made, shall be given
 
 
398

 
 
promptly by the Certificate Administrator to the Trustee, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Holders of the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates mailed no later than ten (10) days prior to the date of such termination. Such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates will be made, and upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein specified, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to Holders of such Certificates. Upon any such termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate, or request the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator to terminate, the Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to the Certificate Administrator’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to the Holders of the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates in trust without interest pending such payment.
 
(b)           If all of the Holders do not surrender their certificates evidencing the Class V and Class R Certificates, the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates for cancellation within three (3) months after the time specified in the above-mentioned written notice, then the Certificate Registrar shall give a second (2nd) written notice to the remaining Holders of such Certificates to surrender their Certificates evidencing such Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second (2nd) notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Registrar may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two (2) years after the second (2nd) notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment, hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders. No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed to a Holder of such Certificates due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance with this Section. Any money held by the Certificate Administrator pending distribution under this Section 11.2 after ninety (90) days after the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation shall be deemed for tax purposes to have been distributed from the REMIC Pools and shall be beneficially owned by the related Holder.
 
Section 11.3     Additional Trust Termination Requirements.
 
(a)           The Trust and each REMIC Pool shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless at the request of the Master Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders, as the case may be, the Trustee seeks, and the Certificate Administrator subsequently receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Master Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders, as the case may be), addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
 
 
399

 
 
Certificate Administrator to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.3 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” on any REMIC Pool under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
 
(i)            Within eighty-nine (89) days prior to the time of the making of the final payment on the REMIC III Regular Certificates, the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class V and Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee (on behalf of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III) shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool, meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC Provisions, which plan need not be in any special form and the date of which, in general, shall be the date of the notice specified in Section 11.2(a) and shall be specified in a statement attached to the federal income tax return of each applicable REMIC Pool;
 
(ii)           At or after the date of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the REMIC III Regular Certificates and the Exchangeable Certificates, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust for cash at the Termination Price; provided that if the Holders of the Class R Certificates are purchasing the assets of the Trust or REMIC I, the amount to be paid by such Holders may be paid net of the amount to be paid to such Holders as final distributions on any Certificates held by such Holders;
 
(iii)          At the time of the making of the final payment on the REMIC III Regular Interests, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, (A) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all assets of REMIC I remaining after such final payment of the REMIC I Regular Interests, (B) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all assets of REMIC II remaining after such final payment of the REMIC II Regular Interests and (C) to the Holders of the Class R Certificates all remaining assets of REMIC III (in each case other than cash retained to meet claims); and upon making of the final payment to all Class R Certificates of all remaining assets of each REMIC Pool, and the Trust shall terminate at that time; and
 
(iv)          In no event may the final payment on the REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests or REMIC III Regular Interests, or the final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, respectively, be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete liquidation is adopted.
 
(b)           By their acceptance of the Class R Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby (i) authorize the Trustee to take such action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool, and (ii) agree to take such other action as may be necessary to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust upon the written request of the Depositor, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Class R Certificateholders.

The provisions of this Article XII shall apply to each REMIC Pool and the Grantor Trust, as applicable.
 
Section 12.1     REMIC Administration.
 
(a)           An election will be made by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans (other than Excess Interest payable thereon) and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, such amounts with respect thereto as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account, the Reserve Accounts and the Distribution Account (exclusive of the Excess Interest Sub-account), the Insurance Policies and any related amounts in the REO Account and, to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein, any related REO Properties as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC I”), other than any portion of the foregoing amounts allocable to a B Note (other than the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note) or Serviced Companion Loan. Such elections will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC I Interests are issued. For purposes of such election, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC I, and the REMIC I Residual Interest (which shall be evidenced by the Class R Certificates) shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC I.
 
An election will be made by the Certificate Administrator to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC II”). Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC II Interests are issued. For the purposes of such election, the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be designated as the “regular interests” in REMIC II, and the REMIC II Residual Interest (which shall be evidenced by the Class R Certificates) shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC II.
 
An election will be made by the Certificate Administrator to treat the segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC II Regular Interests as a REMIC under the Code (such REMIC being herein designated as “REMIC III”). Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the REMIC III Interests are issued.

401

 
 
The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any of the REMIC Pools other than the REMIC I Interests, the REMIC II Interests and the REMIC III Interests.
 
(b)          The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC Pool within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(c)           The Certificate Administrator shall pay all routine tax related expenses (not including any taxes, however denominated, including any additions to tax, penalties and interest) of each REMIC Pool, excluding any professional fees or extraordinary expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each REMIC Pool that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities.
 
(d)           The Certificate Administrator shall cause to be prepared, signed, and timely filed with the Internal Revenue Service, on behalf of each REMIC Pool, an application for a taxpayer identification number for such REMIC Pool on Internal Revenue Service Form SS-4. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt from the Internal Revenue Service of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file Form 8811 on behalf of each REMIC Pool and shall designate an appropriate Person to respond to inquiries by or on behalf of Certificateholders for original issue discount and related information in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code.
 
(e)            The Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all of each REMIC Pool’s federal and state income or franchise tax and information returns as such REMIC Pool’s direct representative, and the Certificate Administrator (or, if necessary, the Trustee) shall sign such returns; the expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator, except that if additional state tax returns are required to be filed in more than three (3) states, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled, with respect to any such additional filings, to (i) be paid a reasonable fee and (ii) receive its reasonable costs and expenses, both as amounts reimbursable pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(I)(vi) hereof. Each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Trust or any REMIC Pool as is in its possession, which the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has received or prepared by virtue of its role as Depositor, Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder and reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such information in the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Depositor shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any liability or assessment against any of them or cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by them resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in the information provided by the Depositor or caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Depositor in providing any information for which the Depositor is responsible for preparing. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor for any liability or assessment against the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or any REMIC Pool and any expenses incurred in
 
 
402

 
 
connection with such liability or assessment (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in the information provided by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any REMIC Pool for any expense incurred by the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any REMIC Pool resulting from any error in any of such tax or information returns resulting from errors in the preparation of such returns caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Certificate Administrator. Each indemnified party shall immediately notify the indemnifying party or parties of the existence of a claim for indemnification under this Section 12.1(e), and provide the indemnifying party or parties, at the expense of such indemnifying party or parties, an opportunity to contest the tax or assessment or expense giving rise to such claim, provided that the failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification rights in favor of any REMIC Pool under this Section 12.1(e). Any such indemnification shall survive the resignation or termination of the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Special Servicer, or the termination of this Agreement.
 
(f)            The Certificate Administrator shall perform on behalf of each REMIC Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC Pool under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the Internal Revenue Service or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the Transferor of a Class R Certificate, a Disqualified Organization or an agent that has acquired such Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions.
 
(g)           The Certificate Administrator shall forward to the Depositor copies of quarterly and annual REMIC tax returns and Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 information returns and such other information within the control of the Certificate Administrator as the Depositor may reasonably request in writing. Moreover, the Certificate Administrator shall forward to each Certificateholder such forms and furnish such information within its control as are required by the Code to be furnished to them, shall prepare and file with the appropriate state authorities as may to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator be required by applicable law and shall prepare and disseminate to Certificateholders Internal Revenue Service Forms 1099 (or otherwise furnish information within the control of the Certificate Administrator) to the extent required by applicable law. The Certificate Administrator will make available to any Certificateholder any tax related information required to be made available to Certificateholders pursuant to the Code and any regulations thereunder.
 
(h)           The Holder of more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in the Class R Certificates (or of the greatest percentage of the Class R Certificates if no Holder holds more than 50% thereof) shall be the Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III. The duties of the Tax Matters Person for each of the REMIC Pools are hereby delegated to the Certificate Administrator, and each Class R Certificateholder, by acceptance of
 
 
403

 
 
its Class R Certificate, agrees, on behalf of itself and all successor holders of such Class R Certificate, to such delegation to the Certificate Administrator as their agent and attorney in fact. If the Code or applicable regulations prohibits the Certificate Administrator (or, if necessary, the Trustee) from signing any applicable Internal Revenue Service, court or other administrative documents or from acting as Tax Matters Person (as an agent or otherwise), the Certificate Administrator shall take whatever action is necessary for the signing of such documents and designation of a Tax Matters Person, including the designation of the Holder of more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in the Class R Certificates (or of the greatest percentage of the Class R Certificates if no Holder holds more than 50% thereof). The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any other financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers (except to the extent of the ordinary expenses of performing its duties under this Agreement), if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
 
(i)            The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each exercise reasonable care, to the extent within its control, and with respect to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, within the scope of its express duties, and shall each act in accordance with this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in order to create and maintain the status of each REMIC Pool as a REMIC for so long as any REMIC III Regular Certificates or EC REMIC III Regular Interest are outstanding and the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust for so long as any Class V Certificates or Exchangeable Certificates are outstanding.
 
(j)            The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Holders of Class R Certificates shall not take any action or fail to take any action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any action or fail to take any action if any of such Persons knows or could, upon the exercise of reasonable diligence, know, that, under the REMIC Provisions such action or failure, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC Pool (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2)) or (iii) endanger the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust unless the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. Any action required under this Section which would result in an unusual or unexpected expense shall be undertaken at the expense of the party requiring the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Holders of the Class R Certificates to undertake such action.

The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of each REMIC Pool’s investments to show that such REMIC Pool has complied with the REMIC Provisions.
 
(m)          None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

406

Section 12.4     Liability with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. If any REMIC Pool fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by either the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its respective duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall be liable to the REMIC Pools and the Holders of the Class R Certificates for any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence and relating to the Class R Certificates; provided, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee (with respect to the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Trustee), the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from any actions or failure to act based upon reliance on an Opinion of Counsel or from misinformation provided by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee (with respect to the Certificate Administrator), the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Trustee), the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holders of the Class R Certificates now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to intervene in any litigation in connection with the foregoing and to maintain control over its defense.
 
Section 12.5     Grantor Trust.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there are no ARD Loans related to the Trust and accordingly, (i) there shall be no Excess Interest payable in respect of a Mortgage Loan in the Mortgage Pool or the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, (ii) there shall be no Class V Specific Grantor Trust Assets and (iii) the Class V Certificates shall not represent any interest in the Grantor Trust.
 
(b)           The EC REMIC III Regular Interests shall be held in the Grantor Trust and have been placed in the Grantor Trust through the efforts of the Underwriters. The EC REMIC III Regular Interests shall be held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the
 
 
407

 
 
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, which Exchangeable Certificates, in the aggregate, will evidence 100% beneficial ownership of such assets from and after the Closing Date. At all times, the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the Class A-S Percentage Interest, the Class B Percentage Interest and the Class C Percentage Interest, respectively, in the Class A-S REMIC III Regular Interest, Class B REMIC III Regular Interest and Class C REMIC III Regular Interest, respectively. At all times, the Class PST Certificates shall represent beneficial ownership interests in the Class PST Components.
 
(c)           Under no circumstances may the Certificate Administrator vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of variations in the market so as to improve the rate of return of Holders of the Class V Certificates or any Class of Exchangeable Certificates. The Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to hold and shall account for the assets of the Grantor Trust separate and apart from the assets of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III created hereunder.
 
(d)           The parties intend that the portions of the Trust consisting of the Grantor Trust shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust (exclusive of the REMIC Pools) shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under the Code, as an “investment trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c), and as a “domestic trust” under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-7, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Holders of the Class V Certificates and any Class of Exchangeable Certificates and shall file, or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, Form 1041 (or, if the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable, at the time and in the manner required by the Code, indicating their respective shares of income and deductions with respect to such grantor trust, as such amounts accrue or are received, as the case may be.
 
(e)           The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT.
 
Section 12.6     Grantor Trust Reporting Requirements.
 
(a)           The Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so, and that is not already in its possession, is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that Depository is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the first (1st) sentence of this paragraph and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the first (1st) sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.
 
(b)           The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under
 
 
408

 
 
no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
 
(c)           The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not already in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
 
(d)           To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, and subject to any comments received to such disclosure from the Depositor by March 15th, the Certificate Administrator shall include the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on the related Form 10-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees charged and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this paragraph. Any notice delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered by facsimile to (410) 715-2380 and by email to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Certificate Administrator to the other parties in writing.

electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K resulting from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely basis any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K on a timely basis, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Any notices or draft Form 10-K delivered to the Depositor pursuant to this Section 13.5 shall be delivered by email to cmbs_filings@morganstanley.com, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished by the Depositor to the other parties in writing.

If a Form 10-K is permitted to be filed notwithstanding any missing information for inclusion therein, the Certificate Administrator shall nonetheless file such Form 10-K and, if Regulation AB (or Form 10-K itself) permits the inclusion of an explanation why such information is missing, the Certificate Administrator shall include such explanation of the circumstances (such explanation to be based solely on such notice regarding the same as may have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator by the person responsible for the missing information).

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Each Reporting Servicer shall provide, and each Reporting Servicer shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans and (b) cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship after the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans to provide, to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by noon (New York City time) on March 10th (with no grace period) of each year subsequent to the fiscal year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, a certification (each, a “Performance Certification”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P-2, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity for which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person, the “Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. The senior officer in charge of securitization of the Depositor shall serve as the Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. Such officer of the Certifying Person can be contacted at the address identified in Section 14.5. If any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable sub-servicing agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide a Performance Certification and a reliance certificate to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 13.6 with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be.
 
Each Performance Certification shall include a reasonable reliance provision enabling the Certification Parties to rely upon each (i) annual compliance statement (as applicable) provided pursuant to Section 13.9, (ii) annual report on assessment of compliance with Servicing Criteria provided pursuant to Section 13.10 and (iii) registered public accounting firm attestation report provided pursuant to Section 13.11 and shall include a certification that each such annual report on assessment of compliance discloses any material instances of noncompliance described to the registered public accountants of such Reporting Servicer to enable such accountants to render the attestation provided for in Section 13.11.
 
If any Serviced Companion Loan is deposited into a commercial mortgage securitization, and the applicable Reporting Servicer is provided with timely and complete contact information for the parties to the Other Securitization and the person signing the Other Securitization’s Sarbanes-Oxley Certification, such Reporting Servicer shall provide to the Person who signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Certification with respect to an Other Securitization a Performance Certification (which shall address the matters contained in the Performance Certification, but solely with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan), upon which such certifying person, the entity for which the certifying person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers, directors and Affiliates can reasonably rely. With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced under a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure a Sarbanes-Oxley back-up certification from the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Certificate Administrator, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Custodian and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Trustee in form and substance similar to a Performance Certification or in the form specified in the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly forward to the Certificate

After the filing of any such form, the obligations of the parties to this Agreement under Sections 13.2(b), 13.4, 13.5, 13.6 and 13.7 shall be suspended for so long as neither the Trust nor, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the trust in the related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Certificate Administrator shall provide each Reporting Servicer and each Seller with prompt written notice (which notice may be sent via facsimile or by email) if the Certificate Administrator files any such forms that effectuates the suspension of the Trust’s Exchange Act reporting obligations pursuant to this Section 13.8(a).

If the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information either was not delivered to it or was delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Depositor (which may be sent by facsimile or by email, and which notice shall include the identity of those Reporting Servicers who either did not deliver such information or delivered such information to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement) and each Reporting Servicer that failed to make such delivery.

In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D that is required to be filed on behalf of the Trust. If any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor and such other parties as may be required and such parties shall reasonably cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A.

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge (and each Additional Servicer and
 
 
421

 
 
each Servicing Function Participant shall be required to acknowledge) that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 13.8 related to the timely preparation and filing of any form filed under Section 13.8(a), a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and, to the extent applicable, any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) performing their duties under this Section 13.8(b). The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such form filed under Section 13.8(a), Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such form filed under Section 13.8(a), Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

429

 
 
Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XIII (or breach of its representations or obligations under the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual servicing criteria compliance reports or attestation reports or otherwise comply with the requirements of this Article XIII) or the Performing Party’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.

Promptly after receipt by the Certification Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Certification Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party hereunder, notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to the Certification Party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. In case any such action is brought against the Certification Party, after the Indemnifying Party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Certification Party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Certification Party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, the Certification Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Certification Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties and, in the case of an investigation by the Commission, any parties that are, or whose reporting materials are, the subject of such investigation) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Certification Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails within a reasonable period of time to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the Certification Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the Indemnifying Parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for the Certification Party in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Certification Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is otherwise required to do so under this
 
 
430

 
 
Agreement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the Certification Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the Certification Party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the Certification Party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the Certification Party, without the consent of the Certification Party.

If a Form 8-K or Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K or Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in this Article XIII. The signing party at the Depositor can be contacted at the address identified in Section 14.5.

Section 13.15     Significant Obligors.
 
With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Companion Loan that the Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall, after receipt of updated net operating income information, (x) promptly deliver the financial statements of such “significant obligor” to the Other Depositor and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization and (y) update the columns of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File related to such “significant obligor” as described in the last sentence of the first paragraph of this Section 13.15.

431

 
 
Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes the related Serviced Companion Loan (or the Master Servicer shall cause a Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
 
The Master Servicer shall (or shall cause a Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the borrower related to such “significant obligor” to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the certificate administrator and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Companion Loan Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Master Servicer shall prepare and make all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in such property, including without limitation (i) continuation statements, and (ii) such other statements as may be occasioned by any transfer of any interest of the Master Servicer or the Depositor in such property.

(c)           The ownership of Certificates (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee or the Custodian) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
(d)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

(hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account and Distribution Account,
 
 
A-1-2

 
 
the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class A-1 Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
 
Distributions of principal of and interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date (a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date.  The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on March 11, 2015.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class A-1 Certificates as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Collateral Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
 
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.
 
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to such Holder’s address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of such final distribution.
 
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in this Certificate shall be made through the book entry facilities of DTC.

The obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and the Trust’s interest in any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.  The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class A-2 Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

 This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class A-3 Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class C Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face hereof (subject to adjustments reflected on the schedule of exchanges attached hereto) by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class C Certificates (as increased or decreased, as the case may be, to reflect any exchanges of Exchangeable Certificates).
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY:  CEDE & CO.] is the registered owner of this commercial mortgage pass-through certificate (this “Certificate”), which has been issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.  The Trust consists primarily of the Mortgage Loans and the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Collection Account and Distribution Account, the Insurance Policies and any REO Properties.  To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class X-FG Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Notional Amount of this Certificate specified on the face hereof by the initial aggregate Notional Amount of the Class X-FG Certificates.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
 
Distributions of interest on this Certificate will be made out of the Available Distribution Amount, to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the 4th Business Day after the related Determination Date (a “Distribution Date”) commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered on the applicable Record Date.  The Determination Date is the 11th day of each month, or, if the 11th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (a “Determination Date”), commencing on March 11, 2015.  All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
 
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date.  Interest allocated to this Certificate on any
 
 
A-13-4

 
 
Distribution Date will be in an amount due to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the amount to be distributed on the Class X-FG Certificates as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust.
 
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement [FOR GLOBAL CERTIFICATES ONLY:  to a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)] will be made by or on behalf of the Certificate Administrator by check mailed to [such][the] Holder’s address as it appears on the Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request to the Certificate Administrator on or prior to the related Record Date (or upon standing instructions given to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date prior to any Record Date, which instructions may be revoked at any time thereafter upon written notice to the Certificate Administrator five (5) days prior to the related Record Date) made by a Certificateholder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request of such Certificateholder.  Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on any Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of such final distribution.
 
[FOR REGULATION S CERTIFICATES ONLY:  Until this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate is exchanged for one or more Regulation S Permanent Global Certificates, the Holder hereof shall not be entitled to receive payments hereon; until so exchanged in full, this Regulation S Temporary Global Certificate shall in all other respects be entitled to the same benefits as other Certificates under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.]
 
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement at any time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of not less than 51% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates then outstanding, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
As and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate

The obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R Certificates) for the remaining Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and the Trust’s interest in any REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.  The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as the Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (herein called the “Certificates”).  The Certificates are issued in the Classes specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust.  This Certificate represents an interest in the Class 555A Certificates equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the initial Certificate Balance of this Certificate specified on the face hereof by the initial Aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class 555A Certificates.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the parties thereto.  This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.  In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.

distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
Collateral Support Deficits shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  All Collateral Support Deficits allocated to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
 
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Collection Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and administration of the Trust.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Certificate or interest therein shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws.  If a transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate held as a Definitive Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates or a transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor or one of its Affiliates), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either:  (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-1 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached either as Exhibit D-2A or Exhibit D-2B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or (ii) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (which opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).  No Person may hold an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate unless that Person is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and no “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) may hold an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate, and transfers of interests in the Global Certificates that would result in a violation of the foregoing are prohibited.  No party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to permit the transfer of any Certificate.  Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner
 
 
A-20-6

 
 
desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate or interests therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify each Underwriter, each Initial Purchaser and each party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement against any liability that may result if the transfer is not exempt from such registration or qualification or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
 
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons, in minimum denominations specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
 
As and when provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, including but not limited to the transfer restrictions described above, a Definitive Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Global Certificate of the applicable Class, an interest in a Global Certificate may be converted into a Definitive Certificate of the applicable Class, an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate of the applicable Class and an interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate may be converted into an interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate of the applicable Class.

The obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator created hereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator, to make payments to the Class R Certificateholders, as set forth in Section 11.3 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other than the obligations in the nature of information or tax reporting) shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the later of (A) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust (and final distribution to the Certificateholders) and (B) the disposition of all REO Property (and final distribution to the Certificateholders), (ii) the sale of the property held by the Trust in accordance with Section 11.1(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (iii) voluntary exchange by the Sole Certificateholder of all the

Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.  The parties designated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement may exercise their option to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the 555 11th Street NW Trust B Note and any other property remaining in the Trust and cause the termination of the Trust in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon termination of the Trust and payment of the Certificates and of all administrative expenses associated with the Trust, any remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed to the holders of the Class R Certificates.

A-23-7

 
 
thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Re:
Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21 (the “Certificates”)
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of Class ______ Certificates having an initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount as of _________ (the “Settlement Date”) of $__________ (the “Transferred Certificates”).  The Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:
 
1.           The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and has completed one of the forms of certification to that effect attached hereto as Annex 1 and Annex 2.  The Transferee is aware that the sale to it of the Transferred Certificates is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.  The Transferee is acquiring the Transferred Certificates for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and understands that such Transferred Certificates may be resold, pledged or transferred only (i) to a person reasonably believed to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer that purchases for its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (ii) pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
 
2.           The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Pooling and Servicing
 
 
D-2A-1

 
 
Agreement, (e) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Certificates and (f) all related matters that it has requested.
 
3.           Check one of the following:
 
___       The Transferee is a “U.S. Person” and has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

___       The purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such person qualifies for the exemptive relief available under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 or another exemption from the “prohibited transactions” rules under ERISA issued by the U.S. Department of Labor or similar exemption under Similar Laws.
 
The Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

1.           He/She is the ____________________ of ____________________ (the prospective transferee (the “Transferee”) of Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2015-C21, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C21, Class R, evidencing a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”)), a ________________ duly organized and validly existing under the laws of ____________________, on behalf of which he/she makes this affidavit. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”).
 
2.           The Transferee (i) is, and as of the date of transfer will be, a “Permitted Transferee” and will endeavor to remain a “Permitted Transferee” for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of another prospective transferee from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any Person other than a “disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States. (For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality, all of the activities of which are subject to tax and a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income.
 
3.           The Transferee (i) is, and as of the date of transfer will be, a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” and will endeavor to remain a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of another prospective transferee from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.

transfer is through an agent (which Person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such Person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Residual Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and that the transferor of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
 
5.           The Transferee is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Residual Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
 
6.           The Transferee is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferee unless the Transferee’s transferee, or such transferee’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Transferee expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is false.
 
7.           The Transferee consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.
 
8.           The Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is _________________.
 
9.           The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 3.3(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Residual Certificates (in particular, clause (F) of the first paragraph of Section 3.3(e) which authorizes the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to deliver payments on the Residual Certificate to a Person other than the Transferee and clause (G) of the first paragraph of Section 3.3(e) which authorizes the Certificate Registrar to negotiate a mandatory sale of the Residual Certificates, in either case, in the event that the Transferee holds such Residual Certificates in violation of Section 3.3(e)); and the Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.
 
10.         No purpose of the Transferee relating to its purchase or any sale of the Residual Certificates is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
 
11.         The Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit of the transferor that the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated with holding the Residual Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.

12.         The Transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed Transferee or any other United States Tax Person.
 
13.         The Transferee will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in which it will represent and warrant, among other things, that it is not transferring the Residual Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has at the time of such transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the proposed transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and has satisfied the requirements of such provision.
 
14.         The Transferee is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, a partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
 
15.         [Select a or b, as applicable] [a]  The Transferee has computed any consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(7) and 1.860E-1(c)(8) by computing present values using a discount rate equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Transferee.
 
[b]  The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and 1.860E-1(c)(6) and, accordingly,
 
(i)           the Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
 
(ii)          at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal years preceding the Transferee’s fiscal year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Transferee within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii) and excluding any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring that asset is to permit the Transferee to satisfy this Section 15(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
 
(iii)        the Transferee will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(6), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)(i), (ii) and (iii) and this Section 15 and the transfer is not to a foreign permanent establishment (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of such eligible corporation or any other arrangement by which the Class R Certificate will be at any time subject to net tax by a foreign country or possession of the United States; and
 
 
E-1-3

 
 
(iv)        the Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate, based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good faith, is a reasonable amount.
 
16.         The Transferee (i) is, and at the time of transfer will be, a United States Tax Person other than a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) any interest in which is owned (or, may be owned pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement) directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) by any person that is not a United States Tax Person, and (ii) is not, and at the time of the transfer will not be, a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty, of any United States Tax Person.  If the Transferee is a partnership, trust or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then each person that may be allocated income from the Class R Certificate is, and at the time of transfer will be, a United States Tax Person.
 
17.         The Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due and will continue to do so in the future.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”).  The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), and executed in connection with the above-referenced transaction.  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:
 
1.           No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
 
2.           The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor has no knowledge or reason to know that any representation contained therein is false.
 
3.           The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

(1) 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.
(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) 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 Master Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Master Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The DSCRs reported by the Master Servicer may be based on a period of less than 12 months. Regardless, DSCRs are normalized based on the Most Recent Financial as of Start and End Dates as reported on the NOI Detail page of this statement. The Certificate Administrator makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

1.           The Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.

(b)           No Liability.  Trust Advisor understands and agrees that the Information prepared by the Disclosing Party or its Representatives was prepared for their internal purposes only, and thus may not be suitable for the Trust Advisor’s purposes.  The Trust Advisor acknowledges and agrees that the Trust Advisor will make its own independent evaluation of the Information and will not be relying on the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives in connection with the Permitted Use and that neither the Disclosing Party, nor any of its Representatives, are acting as the Trust Advisor’s broker or advisor in connection with the Permitted Use.  The Trust Advisor further agrees not to pursue any action, suit or proceeding against the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives arising from or relating to the provision by the Disclosing Party or its Representatives to the Trust Advisor and its Representatives of the Information.
 
Section 5.     Specific Performance.    The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement are of a special and unique nature, the loss of which cannot be accurately compensated for in damages by an action at law, and that the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Trust Advisor or any of its Representatives would cause the Disclosing Party and its affiliates irreparable harm and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by the Trust Advisor or any of its Representatives.  Therefore, the Trust Advisor hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions (without the requirement of posting a bond, other security or any similar requirement or proving any actual damages), to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Trust Advisor or any of its Representatives and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Disclosing Party is entitled at law or in equity.
 
Section 6.     Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Term.  This Agreement shall expire two years from the date of this Agreement.
 
(b)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or PDF), and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed an original, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.
 
(c)           Amendment of Agreement.  This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
 
(d)           Successors and Assigns; Assignability.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.  This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of all other parties hereto.  Any assignment or attempted assignment in contravention of this Section will be void ab initio and will not relieve the assigning party of any obligation under this Agreement.
 
 
U-4

 
 
(e)           Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that state, without reference to conflicts of laws provisions.
 
(f)           Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
 
(g)           No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of the right, power or privilege.  A single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not preclude any other or further exercise of the right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
 
(h)           No Strict Construction.  This Agreement was negotiated between legal counsel for the parties and the parties shared equally in the drafting hereof and therefore any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against the party who drafted this Agreement.

cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”) (a copy of which certification shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Rating Agencies), then such Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, for the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC Pool that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of such Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the applicable Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired, and the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when such deposit is made.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates such absence, nonconformity or irregularity) shall (if the absence results from the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the party discovering such absence to give the Trustee prompt notice, whereupon the Trustee shall notify the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party (with a copy to the Depositor) to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth, and to the extent permitted, herein and in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), in the event of any Breach described in the second paragraph of Section 5(d) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the remedy described in such second paragraph of such Section 5(d) shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to such Breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any obligation to review or approve any condition or requirement contemplated hereunder in connection with any repurchase, removal, addition, or substitution.

The remedies provided for in this Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)         the related Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(b) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event hereunder; and
 
(B)         each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(I)           the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(II)          the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
 
-131-

 
 
(III)           the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Responsible Repurchase Party to cause to be delivered, to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (II) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or Letters of Credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Trustee shall execute (or, subject to Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.10, provide the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, with a limited power of attorney that enables the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any negligence with respect
 
 
-132-

 
 
to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable.  The applicable Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.  Neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, respectively.
 
The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF, from LC Holdings).
 
(c)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct the party effecting the substitution to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan”.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the applicable Master Servicer to the party effecting the related substitution promptly following receipt.
 
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced by a Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct such party to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s); and, upon its receipt of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF, from LC Holdings).
 
(d)           Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the applicable Master Servicer to the effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced by the related Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03 has been deposited in the Collection Account, and further, if applicable, upon receipt of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered by the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party, the Trustee and the Custodian shall each (i) release the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral held by it or on its behalf for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and the affected Borrowers of the transfers of the Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) and any Replacement Mortgage Loan(s).  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the related Responsible Repurchase Party, each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of such Responsible Repurchase Party.  The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF, from LC Holdings), shall be reimbursable to each of them as Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.
 
(e)           The related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on their behalf, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.  If, in connection with any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the related Responsible Repurchase Party defaults on its obligations to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach and fails to deliver a Loss of Value Payment as provided in Section 2.03(h), as the case may be, in all material respects or to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03, then the applicable Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the applicable Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders.  Thereafter, the Trustee shall (and the applicable Special Servicer may in its own name, or, as provided in Section 3.01(b) below, in the name of the
 
 
-134-

 
 
Trustee) take such actions on behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such repurchase/substitution obligations (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF in such regard, the enforcement of the guarantee obligations of LC Holdings), including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings, as the Trustee (or, if applicable, the applicable Special Servicer) shall determine are in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole).  Any and all reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee and/or the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), including, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF, from LC Holdings), shall constitute Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.
 
(f)           The Trustee shall not consent to the assignment by a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of their respective obligations under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement unless such assignment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation and, during any Subordinate Control Period, with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, which consent shall be deemed given if the Subordinate Class Representative does not respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Trustee’s request.
 
(g)           If the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (each a “Repurchase Request Recipient”):  (1) receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or a Breach (a “Repurchase Request”); (2) receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”); or (3) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”) or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then such party shall give written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the other parties hereto and the Other Depositor (if applicable) promptly but in any case within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt thereof.  Each notice required by this Section 2.03(g) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall include:  (i) the date that the Repurchase Communication relating to the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, was received by the Repurchase Request Recipient; (ii) the identity of the Person making or withdrawing any such Repurchase Communication and the related Mortgage Loan; (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, the basis for the Repurchase Request asserted by the Person making the Repurchase Request, to the extent known to the Repurchase Request Recipient; and (iv) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06.  A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 2.03(g) if and to the extent that such information is protected by either the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrines.  Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice is provided only to assist the Depositor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Other Depositor (if applicable) and their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of,
 
 
-135-

 
 
a Repurchase Request Recipient, and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
 
If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, such party shall forward such Repurchase Communication as soon as possible and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Repurchase Communication to the applicable Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the applicable Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall include the following statement in the related correspondence:  “This is a Repurchase Communication of a [“Repurchase Request”] [“Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [“Repurchase”] [“Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the WFCM 2014-LC18 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” of such Repurchase Communication thereunder”.  Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph of this Section 2.03(g) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.  In no event shall this provision require the Custodian (in its capacity as Custodian) in connection with its review of a Mortgage File to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall accept any oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, and each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall direct any Person making an oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to submit it in writing (or by means of electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06) to the Certificate Administrator (who will act in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph).  Repurchase Communications of Repurchase Requests made to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or may be transmitted by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06 with a subject line of “Repurchase Request – WFCM 2014-LC18”.
 
The parties hereto agree that delivery of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach or knowledge on the part of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.
 
(h)           If a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party), in connection with a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage

Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the applicable Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (with the consent of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(i)(iii) of this Agreement.  If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or Material Document Defect under any circumstances.  This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the Trust, provided that prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), and provided, further, that such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the repurchase price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and provided, further that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

(a)           It is the intention of the parties hereto that the following segregated pool of assets constitute a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and, further, that such segregated pool of assets be designated as “REMIC I”:  (i) the Mortgage Loans that are from time to time subject to this Agreement, together with (A) all payments under and proceeds of such Mortgage Loans received after the Closing Date (other than any Post-ARD Additional Interest) or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, after the related date of substitution (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before the respective Cut-off Dates for such Mortgage Loans or, in the case of any such Mortgage Loan that is a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution, and exclusive of any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees), and (B) all rights of the holder of such Mortgage Loans under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and in and to any related Additional Collateral; (ii) any REO Property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in such REO Property); (iii) such funds and assets as from time to time are deposited in the Collection Account (but not in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account), the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and, if established (but, in the case of any such account established with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, subject to the rights of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders), the REO Accounts (exclusive of any such amounts that constitute Excess Servicing Fees) and (iv) the rights of the Depositor under Sections 2, 3, 4 (other than Section 4(c), (d) and (f)) and 5 (other than Section 5(f), (g), (h) and (i)) (and, to the extent related to the foregoing, Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18 and (in the case of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement between LCF and the Depositor) 19) of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
 
(b)           Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the Original Mortgage Loans and certain related assets, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and in exchange therefor, the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall be issued.  A single separate REMIC I Regular Interest shall be issued with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan.  For purposes of this Agreement each REMIC I Regular Interest shall relate to the Original Mortgage Loan in respect of which it was issued, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) substituted for such Original Mortgage Loan and to each REO Mortgage Loan deemed outstanding with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of such Original Mortgage Loan or any such Replacement Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in any related REO Property).  None of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be certificated.  The REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC I.

(c)           The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC I (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).
 
(d)           The designation for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the identification number for the related Original Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
 
(e)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest  shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance.  As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall equal the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the related Original Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule).  On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be (1) permanently reduced by any distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j) and (2) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(c).  Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced.  Deemed distributions to REMIC II in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC I Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest.
 
(f)           The per annum rate at which each REMIC I Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC I Remittance Rate”.  The REMIC I Remittance Rate in respect of any particular REMIC I Regular Interest, for any Interest Accrual Period, shall equal:  (A) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, a 30/360 Mortgage Loan, the related Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Original Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower) and (B) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, an Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the product of 12 times the Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period.
 
The “Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount” with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest referred to in clause (B) of the second sentence of the prior paragraph, for any Interest Accrual Period, is an amount of interest equal to the product of (a) the Net Mortgage

Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is 360, multiplied by (c) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period; provided that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during (x) December of any year that does not immediately precede a leap year or (y) January of any year, then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be decreased by the Interest Reserve Amount, if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.04(c), from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period; and provided, further, that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during February of any year (or during any December or January preceding the month of the Final Distribution Date), then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be increased by the Interest Reserve Amount(s), if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.05(c), from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period.  .
 
(g)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall bear interest.  Such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, such interest shall accrue at the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.  The total amount of interest accrued with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest during each Interest Accrual Period is referred to herein as its “Uncertificated Accrued Interest” for such Interest Accrual Period.  The portion of the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the “Uncertificated Distributable Interest” with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC I Regular Interest.  For purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective amounts of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the related

Interest Accrual Period.  If the entire Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), then the unpaid portion of such Uncertificated Distributable Interest shall be distributable with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates as provided in such Section 4.01(j).
 
(h)           Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.
 
(i)            The REMIC I Residual Interest will not have a principal balance and will not bear interest.

(d)           The relationship of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer to the Trustee and, unless they are the same Person, one another under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

(g)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” under the Intercreditor Agreements for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and the making of payments to the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” in accordance with each such Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement(s) for each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property, each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property are to be

serviced and administered by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Although each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is not a Serviced Mortgage Loan hereunder, the applicable Master Servicer hereunder for each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.  The applicable Special Servicer shall have no obligations under this Agreement for servicing any Non-Serviced Loan Combinations or related REO Property.
 
With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement shall have no obligation or authority to supervise respective parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (but this statement shall not relieve them of liabilities they may otherwise have in their capacities as parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or to make Servicing Advances with respect to any such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.  If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the applicable Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative, and the applicable Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the related Collection Account.  Except as otherwise expressly addressed in Section 3.20, if a party to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan requests the Trustee to consent to a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the applicable Master Servicer to be addressed by the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20(g); provided that, if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the applicable Master Servicer shall not grant such direction without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account).  If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of a “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) the Trustee shall notify (in writing), and direct the applicable Master Servicer to act in accordance with the instructions of, the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that, during a Senior Consultation Period, or if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), or if the applicable Master Servicer is not permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, then the Trustee shall direct the applicable Master Servicer to take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights (such direction communicated to the applicable Master Servicer by the Trustee) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  If the Trustee receives a request from any party to a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing

agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee shall not grant such consent or approval unless it receives the consent of the applicable Master Servicer under this Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) and a Rating Agency Confirmation (at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account) from each Rating Agency to the effect that such consent or approval would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates.  During the continuation of any “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense.  The Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with each Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the other such parties, the Depositor and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies if the related Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  Any obligation of the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Non-Trust Master Servicer or the related Non-Trust Special Servicer.
 
(h)           With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
 
(i)            the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (and advance interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees”, “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (each, as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and that if the funds received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination are insufficient to cover “Servicing Advances” or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (each as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), (i) the applicable Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust

Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, may be paid by the applicable Master Servicer to the Non-Trust Master Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable), out of general collections in either Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”, and (ii) if the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee to reimburse itself from the related trust’s general collections, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the applicable Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the related trust out of general collections in the Collection Accounts for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”;
 
(ii)           each of the Indemnified Parties (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in such trust pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) by the Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items (as defined in each Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account” (as such term or other similar term is defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the applicable Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account;
 
(iii)          the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Non-Trust Trustee, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer and the Non-Trust Trust Advisor (with a copy to be sent to the applicable Master Servicer and applicable Special Servicer) (A) promptly following the Closing Date, written notice in the form of Exhibit U attached hereto, stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the applicable Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the applicable Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each

Section 3.02     Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.  (a)  Each of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan it is obligated to service hereunder (including, without limitation, all Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and other fees and compensation payable to the applicable Master Servicer and to the applicable Special Servicer to the extent the Borrower is obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents); and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided that the applicable Master Servicer shall not, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection), and the applicable Special Servicer may do so only if (A) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (B) either (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of such Special Servicer, and without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest,
 
 
-166-

 
 
also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Post-ARD Additional Interest; provided that the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.  Consistent with the foregoing, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer may grant case-by-case waivers of Default Charges in connection with a late payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(b)           At least ninety (90) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date of each Balloon Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer shall send a notice to the related Borrower of such maturity date (with a copy to be sent to the applicable Special Servicer) and shall request confirmation that the Balloon Payment will be paid by such maturity date.

-175-

 
 
Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as damages paid to and distributed by the REMIC Pools on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund.  The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

(b)           Subsection (II).  The provisions of this subsection (II) of this Section 3.05(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of this Section 3.05(a):
 
(i)            Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts:  If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.  All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.  That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any
 
 
-185-

 
 
Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.
 
(ii)           General Relationship of Provisions.  Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) sets forth the terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(I) above (construed without regard to the reference therein to this subsection except that it is nonetheless hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified).  Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) authorizes or permits the applicable Master Servicer, under certain circumstances, to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances at its sole option.  Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the applicable Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv) below.
 
(iii)           Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts:  The applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment (and, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself the amount of such reimbursement and payment) for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period (and it is again hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified); provided that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments from amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, net of the aggregate deduction amounts for Nonrecoverable Advances (and accrued and unpaid Advance Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, as described by clause (II)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”
 
 
-186-

 
 
and pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv).  As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from aggregate principal collections pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a delinquent amount as to which an Advance had been made, which Advance was previously reimbursed during the Collection Period for a prior Distribution Date as part of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts on or in respect of such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
 
The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the applicable Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.
 
(iv)          Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances.  To the extent that Section 3.05(a)(I) entitles the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, they shall be made, first, from the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, and then from other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period; provided that, if so provided as set forth below, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide each Rating Agency with at least fifteen (15) days’ notice before any reimbursement shall be made of a Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan from such other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would exceed the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, the applicable Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, if

it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option and in its sole discretion, to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months; provided that any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require (during a Subordinate Control Period) the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative; provided, further, that the aggregate amount that is the subject of the exercise of such option with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b).  If the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period.  In connection with a potential election by the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof.  The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give the Rating Agencies at least fifteen (15) days’ notice (subject to Section 3.27) prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the applicable Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the applicable Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if any of clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give each Rating Agency notice (subject to Section 3.27) of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances.  The applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
 
Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a recovery of an amount determined in a prior Collection Period to have been a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be added to and constitute
 
 
-188-

 
 
a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(C) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Nonrecoverable Advances on such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
 
None of the Master Servicers or the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv).  The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.
 
Any election by the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon).  Any such election by one of the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election).  Any such election by any such party to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance.  None of the Master Servicers, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Loan Holders for any such election that such party makes to defer or not to defer reimbursement as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement.  The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph.
 
The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the applicable Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by such Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.
 
(v)           Deferral is Not Subordination.  No determination by the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest under subsection (iv) above shall be construed as an agreement by the applicable Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as
 
 
-189-

 
 
applicable) to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

(v)            to pay for the cost of the Opinions of Counsel as contemplated by Section 12.01(a) or Section 12.01(c) in connection with any amendment to this Agreement requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which amendment is in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders;

(b)           Whether or not the applicable Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in any Investment Account (other than a Servicing Account or Reserve Account) maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the applicable Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05.  Whether or not the applicable Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, and subject to the requirements of applicable law or the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan(s) or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) regarding the payment of such interest and investment income to the related Borrower, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the applicable Master Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal from time to time in accordance with Section 3.03.  Whether or not the applicable Special Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account or the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the applicable Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.16(b).  Whether or not the Certificate Administrator directs the investment of funds in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Certificate Administrator and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05.  If any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator), shall promptly deposit therein from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, in respect of such Investment Account for such Collection Period (except, in the case of any such loss with respect to a Servicing Account or Reserve Account, to the extent the loss amounts were invested for the benefit of a Borrower under the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or applicable law).

(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment due (or in any other performance required) under any Permitted Investment of funds on deposit in any Investment Account, and if the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator) is in default of its obligations under or contemplated by Section 3.06(b), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of (i) Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Interest Only Certificates or Principal Balance Certificates or (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative or (iii) alternatively, but only if the Permitted Investment involves funds on deposit in a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (iii), Section 8.02 shall be construed as if references therein to one or more “Certificateholders” were instead references to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Trustee shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings.  Any costs incurred by the Trustee in taking any such action shall be reimbursed to it by the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator).  This provision is in no way intended to limit any actions that the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may take in this regard at its own expense.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation of the Available Distribution Amount, the Master Servicer Remittance Amounts and the monthly amounts payable to the respective Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.

(D)           in no event shall the applicable Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage that the applicable Master Servicer has determined is either (i) not available at any rate or (ii) not available at commercially reasonable rates and the related hazards are not at the time commonly insured against at the then-available rates for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which the related Mortgaged Property is located;
 
(E)            the reasonable efforts of the applicable Master Servicer to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain insurance shall be conducted in a manner that takes into account the insurance that would then be available to such Master Servicer on a force-placed basis; and
 
(F)            to the extent the applicable Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan does not maintain, the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the applicable Master Servicer on a force-placed basis (and this will not be construed to modify the other limits set forth in clause (D) above).

(c)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive monthly the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), and each successor REO Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) thereto that relates to an Administered REO Property.  As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), for any particular calendar month or applicable portion thereof, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and for the same number of days respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Mortgage Loan is computed under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as such terms may be changed or modified at any time following the Closing Date) and applicable law.  To the extent attributable to a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan thereto shall cease to accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of such Mortgage Loan or, in the case of such a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as of the date that such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.  To the extent attributable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan thereto shall cease to accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property included in the same Serviced Loan Combination or, in the case of such a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.  Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans shall be payable (pursuant to Section 3.05(a)) monthly first out of related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, if any, and then out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account and earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and first, out of the proceeds of such Serviced Loan Combination on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (as applicable) and then out of general collections in the Collection Account (following which, the applicable Special Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is held by an Other Securitization, from such Other Securitization) of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s allocable share of such Special Servicing Fees to the extent so paid from general collections in the Collection Account).
 
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless the basis on which the related Serviced Mortgage Loan became a Corrected Mortgage Loan was the remediation of a circumstance or condition relating to the related Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in which case, if such Mortgage Loan is repurchased within the Initial Resolution Period (and, if applicable any Resolution Extension Period as is permitted under Section 2.03) no Workout Fee will be payable from or based upon the receipt of, any Purchase Price paid by the related Responsible Repurchase Party (or, in the case of the payment obligations of LCF, by LC Holdings) in satisfaction of such repurchase obligation.  As to each such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each payment of interest (other than Default Interest and Post-ARD Additional Interest) and principal received from the related Borrower on such Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, except that any Workout Fees earned with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto and attributable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and solely out of the proceeds of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that any Workout Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto will be payable out of any proceeds on or with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property prior to any proceeds on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan and/or the Trust Fund’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property as otherwise described above.  In addition, the determination and payment of the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) for which the amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees is greater than zero shall be adjusted in the following manner:  (i) the Workout Fee Rate shall be multiplied by the aggregate amount of all the scheduled payments of principal and interest scheduled to become due under the terms of such Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period from the date when such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan to and including the Stated Maturity Date of such Corrected Mortgage Loan, without discounting for present value (the resulting product, the “Workout Fee Projected Amount”); and (ii) either (a) if the amount of the Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is greater than or equal to the Workout Fee Projected Amount for such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any payments in respect of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, or (b) if the amount of Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is less than the Workout Fee Projected Amount, the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to payments of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, on the terms and conditions
 
 
-221-

 
 
otherwise set forth in this Agreement without regard to this sentence, until the cumulative amount of such payments is equal to the excess of the Workout Fee Projected Amount over the Offsetting Modification Fees, after which date the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any further payments in respect of the Workout Fee for such Corrected Mortgage Loan.  The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if such Corrected Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee would become payable if and when such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) again became a Corrected Mortgage Loan after having again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  If the applicable Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, the applicable Special Servicer shall retain the right (and the applicable successor Special Servicer shall not have the right) to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan serviced by the applicable Special Servicer that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as the applicable Special Servicer and that were still Corrected Mortgage Loans at the time of such termination or resignation and (ii) unless the applicable Special Servicer was terminated for cause (in which case only clause (i) above shall apply), any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the applicable Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan such that the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be deemed a Corrected Mortgage Loan but for the Borrower having not yet made, as of the date of such termination or resignation, three timely Monthly Payments required by the terms of the workout; provided that in either case no other event has occurred as of the time of the applicable Special Servicer’s termination or resignation that would otherwise cause such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) to again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.  The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.11(c).
 
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the applicable Special Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which any full, partial or discounted payoff is received from the related Borrower and with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including in each case both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which the applicable Special Servicer receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and (without duplication) each Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) as to which the applicable Special Servicer otherwise receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds; provided that, if a Liquidation Fee otherwise becomes payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then such Liquidation Fee payable to the applicable Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan in the aggregate shall be reduced by the amount of any Offsetting Modification Fees; provided, further, that if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan only because of an event described

The applicable Special Servicer’s right to receive any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee to which it is entitled may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the applicable Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including as provided in the next sentence.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the applicable Special Servicer may enter into one or more arrangements with the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, or any other Person(s) that may be entitled to remove or replace the applicable Special Servicer, to provide for the payment by the applicable Special Servicer to such party or parties of certain of the applicable Special Servicer’s compensation hereunder, whether in consideration of the applicable Special Servicer’s appointment or continuation of appointment as applicable Special Servicer in connection with this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement, limitations on such parties’ right to terminate or replace the applicable Special Servicer in connection with this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise.  If the applicable Special Servicer exercises the authority set forth in the preceding sentence, any and all obligations pursuant to any such agreement shall constitute obligations solely of the applicable Special Servicer and not of any other party hereto.  If the applicable Special Servicer enters into such an agreement and one or more other Person(s) thereafter becomes the applicable Majority Subordinate Certificateholders, the Subordinate Class Representative, or becomes entitled to remove or replace the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, such agreement shall not be binding on such other Person(s), nor may it limit the rights that otherwise inure to the benefit of such other Person(s) as the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, or as a party otherwise entitled to remove or replace the applicable Special Servicer, in the absence of such other Persons(s)’ express written consent, which may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion.

(g)           The applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds), for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding (it being acknowledged that Advance Interest shall not accrue on Unliquidated Advances related to prior Servicing Advances).  Such interest with respect to any Servicing Advances shall be payable:  (i) first, in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on or in respect of the particular Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property as to which such Servicing Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such Servicing Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account.  The applicable Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any Servicing Advance made by any such Person with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable.
 
(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard, or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment.  In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the applicable Special Servicer for such purposes.  Any determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making such determination), the applicable Special Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (or Other Master Servicer), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and, if such reports were used by the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee to determine that any Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports,
 
 
-227-

 
 
environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), and the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the other such party or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) with respect to a particular Servicing Advance for any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property.  The applicable Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request.  A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the applicable Special Servicer, a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the applicable Master Servicer for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificates (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Master Servicer and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).  The applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a Servicing Advance.
 
The applicable Special Servicer shall also be entitled to make (but shall not be obligated to make or not make), in its sole discretion, a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the applicable Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior Servicing Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in which case such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee and such Servicing Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for all purposes of this Agreement (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle such Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance).  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the provision set forth in Section 3.19(b) to the effect that any request by the applicable Special Servicer that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the applicable Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved, shall) pay directly out of the Collection Account any servicing expense that, if paid by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property; provided that (A) it shall be a condition to such payment that the applicable Master Servicer (or the applicable Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making such payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by any information that such Person may have obtained that supports such determination; (B) if such servicing expense relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, the payment of such expense shall be subject to the proviso at the end of the first paragraph of Section 3.05(a)(I); and (C) such servicing expense shall be deemed to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance for purposes of Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and the terms and conditions set forth in such subsection that are applicable to Nonrecoverable Advances shall apply to such servicing expense.  A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Subordinate Class Representative (and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) and the applicable Special Servicer, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the applicable Master Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative (and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)).

(k)           The applicable Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion

-233-

(c)           The applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw from its REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in such REO Account relating to such Administered REO Property.  Monthly within one Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall withdraw from its REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account, or deliver to the applicable Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property during such Collection Period that are then on deposit in such REO Account, net of any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that (A) in the case of each Administered REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer may retain in its REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, necessary capital improvements and other related expenses) and (B) if such Administered REO Property relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the applicable Master Servicer shall make, from such amounts so deposited or remitted as described above, any deposits into any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account contemplated by Section 3.04(h) or Section 3.04(i), as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts withdrawn from an REO Account and deposited into the Collection Account following the end of each Collection Period pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, upon such deposit, be construed to have been received by the applicable Master Servicer during such Collection Period.
 
(d)           The applicable Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, its REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or 3.16(c).
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 3.17     Management of Administered REO Property.  (a)  Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust.  If the applicable Special Servicer determines from such review that:
 
(i)           None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property would be subject to tax as “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (such tax referred to herein as an “REO Tax”), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the applicable Special Servicer as Administered REO Property, other than holding such Administered REO Property for sale or lease or performing construction work thereon;
 
(ii)           Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an Administered REO Property could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor with respect to such
 
 
-235-

 
 
property, or another method of operating such property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the applicable Special Servicer may (provided that in the judgment of the applicable Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, it is commercially reasonable) so lease or otherwise operate such Administered REO Property; or
 
(iii)           It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such property as Administered REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and either (i) that the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any REO Tax relating to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the applicable Administered REO Property to the Certificateholders (taking into account that any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) do not have any obligation under the related Intercreditor Agreement to bear the effect of any such REO Tax) or (ii) that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such property as Administered REO Property without the Trust incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, then the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver to the Tax Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative, in writing, a proposed plan (the “Proposed Plan”) to manage such property as Administered REO Property.  Such plan shall include potential sources of income and good faith estimates of the amount of income from each such source.  Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such plan, the Tax Administrator shall consult with the applicable Special Servicer and shall advise the applicable Special Servicer of the Trust’s federal income tax reporting position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust would derive under the Proposed Plan.  In addition, the Tax Administrator shall (to the maximum extent reasonably possible and at a reasonable fee, which fee shall be an expense of the Trust) advise the applicable Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the Trust would be required to pay with respect to each such source of income.  After receiving the information described in the two preceding sentences from the Tax Administrator, the applicable Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as Administered REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.
 
Subject to Section 3.17(b), the applicable Special Servicer’s decision as to how each Administered REO Property shall be managed and operated shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  Neither the applicable Special Servicer nor the Tax Administrator shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Trust, the other parties hereto, any beneficiaries hereof or each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the exercise of their discretion while performing their respective responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a) with respect to any Administered REO Property.  Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended to prevent the sale of any Administered REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.
 
(b)           If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the applicable Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such Administered REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related
 
 
-236-

 
 
Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Section 3.18 below, in a manner that does not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, result in the receipt by any REMIC Pool of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.  Except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, the applicable Special Servicer shall not enter into any lease, contract or other agreement with respect to any Administered REO Property that causes the Trust to receive, and (unless required to do so under any lease, contract or agreement to which the applicable Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or successor to a party due to a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar exercise of a creditor’s rights or remedies with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall not, with respect to any Administered REO Property, cause or allow the Trust to receive, any “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.  Subject to the foregoing, however, the applicable Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the administration of any Administered REO Property, as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from its REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such Administered REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property, including:
 
(i)             all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Administered REO Property;
 
(ii)            all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such Administered REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
 
(iii)           any ground rents in respect of such Administered REO Property; and
 
(iv)           all other costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such Administered REO Property.
 
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the applicable Special Servicer’s REO Account with respect to any Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes contemplated by the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the applicable Master Servicer shall, at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer, but subject to Section 3.11(h), make a Servicing Advance of such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such advances would, if made, be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided that the applicable Master Servicer may in its sole discretion make any such Servicing Advance without regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.
 
(c)           The applicable Special Servicer may, and, if required for the Administered REO Property to continue to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section
 
 
-237-

 
 
860G(a)(8) of the Code, shall, contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property, provided that:
 
(i)           the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;
 
(ii)          the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in consideration of the nature and locality of such Administered REO Property;
 
(iii)         any such contract shall be consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(e)(6) and shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, including those listed in Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the applicable Special Servicer upon receipt;
 
(iv)         none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the applicable Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such Administered REO Property; and
 
(v)          the applicable Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, and the applicable Special Servicer shall comply with the Servicing Standard in maintaining such Independent Contractor.
 
The applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the applicable Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.  To the extent the costs of any contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property are greater than the revenues available from such property, such excess costs shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
 
(d)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the applicable Special Servicer shall not:
 
(i)           permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any Administered REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(ii)          permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
 
-238-

 
 
(iii)           authorize or permit any construction on any Administered REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan become imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
 
(iv)           except as otherwise provided for in Sections 3.17(a)(i), 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(a)(iii) above, Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any Administered REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by or on behalf of the Trust Fund;
 
unless, in any such case, the applicable Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the applicable Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust Fund, in which case the applicable Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.17 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
Section 3.18     Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties; Sale of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans.  (a)  The applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, (iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan (or Administered REO Property related thereto) with a related mezzanine loan, in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement or (iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination (or REO Mortgage Loan related thereto), in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and if the applicable Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder as a collective whole), to attempt to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, to sell the entire Serviced Loan Combination), the applicable Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of the Certificateholders (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price; provided that, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the applicable Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Mortgage

Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan pursuant to Section 3.18(e) and pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The applicable Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement.  During any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall notify the Trust Advisor of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.
 
(c)           The applicable Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the applicable Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor (at any time other than a Subordinate Control Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.  In no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, offer for or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.
 
(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination) for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the applicable Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) 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 Mortgage Loan, (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the applicable Special Servicer, if no Interested Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested Person is so making an offer.  The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from an Interested Person is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, then such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price and the Trustee shall not make such determination; provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence.  Where any Interested Person is among those submitting offers with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing.  In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the applicable Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant

to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(d) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price (but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph with respect to an offer from an Interested Person).
 
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 Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(e)           In the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the applicable Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the applicable Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested SLC Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested SLC Person; provided that no offer from an Interested SLC Person for a Serviced Loan Combination shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other bona fide offers are received from independent third parties.  In determining whether any offer received from an Interested SLC Person represents a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal.  The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the applicable Special Servicer, if no Interested SLC Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested SLC Person is so making an offer.  The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.  In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an

Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the applicable Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(e) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.  The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without the written consent of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder unless the applicable Special Servicer has delivered to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder:  (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell any related Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the applicable Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for any such Serviced Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Subordinate Class 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 applicable Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence.  Subject to the foregoing, each of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or a representative thereof shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) 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 Serviced Loan Combination, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Serviced Loan Combination.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested SLC Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested SLC Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the applicable Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(f)           The applicable Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to solicit cash offers for each Administered REO Property in such
 
 
-242-

 
 
manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for any Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a)).  The applicable Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple cash offers are received by a specified offer date, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for such Administered REO Property.  If the applicable Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) with respect to any Administered REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the applicable Special Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, dispose of such Administered REO Property upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances.
 
The applicable Special Servicer shall give the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of its intention to sell any Administered REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18(f).
 
No Mortgage Loan Seller, Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not offer for or purchase any Administered REO Property pursuant hereto.
 
(g)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 3.18(f) above, shall be determined by the applicable Special Servicer or, if such cash offer is from the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the applicable Special Servicer, by the Trustee.  In determining whether any offer received from the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the applicable Special Servicer represents a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Appraisal in the related Servicing File conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine-month period (or, in the absence of any such Appraisal or if there has been a material change at the subject property since any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal to be obtained by the applicable Special Servicer, the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).  The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser that is (i) selected by the applicable Special Servicer if neither the applicable Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer with respect to the subject Administered REO Property and (ii) selected by the Trustee if either the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is so submitting an offer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such REO Property, then the Trustee shall not make any determination of fair price and such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received); provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence.  Where any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any
 
 
-243-

 
 
such Person is among those submitting offers with respect to any Administered REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to it (or, if the applicable Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer, be submitted to the Trustee) in writing and, if applicable, otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement.  In determining whether any offer from a Person other than any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall take into account the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it or the applicable Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months, as well as, among other factors, the occupancy level and physical condition of such Administered REO Property, the state of the then-current local economy and commercial real estate market where such Administered REO Property is located and the obligation to dispose of such Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a)).  The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making any such determination.  The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property (which, in connection with an Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, shall be construed and calculated with respect to the entire Serviced Loan Combination) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.18, no cash offer from the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such offer is the highest cash offer received and at least two Independent offers (not including the offer of the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received.  In the event the offer of the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the only offer received or is the higher of only two offers received, then additional offers shall be solicited.  If an additional offer or offers, as the case may be, are received for any Administered REO Property and the original offer of the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the highest of all offers received, then the offer of the applicable Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the Trustee has otherwise determined, as provided above in Section 3.18(f), that such offer constitutes a fair price for the subject Administered REO Property.  Any offer by the applicable Special Servicer for any Administered REO Property shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the subject Administered REO Property shall be transferred to the applicable Special Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty other than customary representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a real property.
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, and, if applicable, to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such mortgage loan.  If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination.  The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable

from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the applicable Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(h)           Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(g) above, the applicable Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating with Independent third parties in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith.  In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, the applicable Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the applicable Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or evaluating offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account; provided that if the applicable Special Servicer was previously reimbursed for such costs from the Collection Account, then the applicable Special Servicer must deposit such amounts into the Collection Account.  Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any Administered REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the applicable Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee.
 
(i)           Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property shall be for cash only.  The applicable Special Servicer in its capacity as applicable Special Servicer shall have no authority to provide financing to the purchaser.
 
(j)           With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that becomes a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or other similar term is defined pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and construed as if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a “Mortgage Loan” under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the liquidation of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be administered by the related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement.  Any such sale of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan accepted on behalf of the Trust.
 
(k)           If any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is sold under this Section 3.18, or a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is sold in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the purchase price shall be deposited into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the applicable Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made
 
 
-245-

 
 
(based upon, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, notification by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer of the amount of the purchase price), shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property in the Person who purchased such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property.
 
(l)           Any purchaser of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, whether pursuant to this Section 3.18 or pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 9.01, will be subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, including any requirements thereof governing who may be a holder of such Mortgage Loan.  The applicable Special Servicer will require, in connection with such a sale of such a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, that the purchaser assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the holder of such Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(m)           In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the provisions described in this Section 3.18 for an amount less than the Purchase Price, the applicable Special Servicer shall obtain the approval of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or consult with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the applicable Special Servicer shall consult with the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), subject to the applicable Special Servicer’s prevailing duty to comply with the Servicing Standard.  In addition, in considering such a sale, the applicable Special Servicer shall consider the interests only of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).  In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(m), the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the applicable Special Servicer.
 
(n)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.18, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if such Special Servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, to the extent a Subordinate Control Period is then in effect, with the consent or deemed consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, and, to the extent a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, and, to the extent a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Trust Advisor), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender), and such Special Servicer may accept a lower cash 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 Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari
 
 
-246-

 
 
Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender).  In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(n), the applicable Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the applicable Special Servicer.
 
Section 3.19     Additional Obligations of Master Servicers and Special Servicers.
 
(a)           Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the applicable Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the applicable Master Servicer (and such Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the applicable Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the applicable Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the applicable Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the applicable Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the applicable Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property.  If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the applicable Special Servicer.  Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the applicable Special Servicer from the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the applicable Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.  For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may,
 
 
-247-

 
 
in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the applicable Special Servicer.  In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the applicable Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).
 
A Serviced Mortgage Loan shall cease to be a Required Appraisal Loan if and when, following the occurrence of the most recent Appraisal Trigger Event, any and all Servicing Transfer Events with respect to such Mortgage Loan have ceased to exist and no other Appraisal Trigger Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding ninety (90) days.
 
For so long as any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall, every nine (9) months after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, at the applicable Special Servicer’s option, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal.  If such update is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the applicable Special Servicer.  Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the applicable Special Servicer shall redetermine, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the applicable Master Servicer, the then applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan.  In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the applicable Special Servicer shall also redetermine, and report to the Trustee, the applicable Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative and related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect (and the identity of the Subordinate Class), whenever the applicable Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal or updated Appraisal under this Agreement, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after the applicable Special Servicer’s report of the resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount, to direct the applicable Special Servicer to hire a Qualified Appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Subordinate Class Representative to prepare a second Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property at the expense of the Subordinate Class Representative.  The applicable Special Servicer must use reasonable efforts to cause the delivery of such second Appraisal within thirty (30) days following the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative.  Within ten (10) Business Days
 
 
-248-

 
 
following its receipt of such second Appraisal, the applicable Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested from the applicable Master Servicer reasonably required to perform such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so, the applicable Special Servicer shall recalculate the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount on the basis of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the applicable Special Servicer from the applicable Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a).  Solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class:
 
(i)           the first Appraisal shall be disregarded and have no force or effect, and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount is already then in effect, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the related Mortgage Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent prior Appraisal or updated Appraisal obtained under this Agreement (or, if no such Appraisal exists, there shall be no Appraisal Reduction Amount for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class) unless and until the (a) the Subordinate Class Representative fails to exercise its right to direct the applicable Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal within the exercise period described above or (b) if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the applicable Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal, such second Appraisal is not received by the applicable Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, whichever occurs earlier (and, in such event, an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated on the basis of such first Appraisal, if any, shall be effective); and
 
(ii)           if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the applicable Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal and such second Appraisal is received by the applicable Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, the Appraisal Reduction Amount (if any), calculated on the basis of the second Appraisal (if the applicable Special Servicer determines that a recalculation was warranted as described above) or (otherwise) on the basis of the first Appraisal shall be effective.
 
In addition, if there is a material change with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated, then (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Holder (or group of Holders) of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated thereto to less than 25% of the initial Class Principal Balance of each such Class and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to present to the applicable Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the applicable Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.  Subject to the applicable Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the applicable Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such

additional Appraisal and updated information.  If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to such Class shall have its related Certificate Principal Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect.  With respect to each Class of Control-Eligible Certificates, the right to present the applicable Special Servicer with any such additional Appraisals as provided above is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period for each Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated.
 
With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the existence of a Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and, if applicable, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, (i) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property used to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be determined on an “as-is” basis and (ii) the Appraisal Reduction Amount so calculated shall be notionally allocable between the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse order of their alphanumeric designations (in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof is notionally reduced to zero) and the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be treated as a single Class in such notional allocation; provided, however, that for the purposes of such allocation, Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the respective Class PEX Components rather than to the Class PEX Certificates, and for the purposes of such allocation (A) the Class A-S Certificates and the Class A-S-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “A-S”, (B) the Class B Certificates and the Class B-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “B”, and (C) the Class C Certificates and the Class C-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute as single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “C”.
 
The applicable Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the applicable Special Servicer any information in the applicable Master Servicer’s possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or updated Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable best efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the applicable Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided, the applicable Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the applicable Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the applicable Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Section of this Agreement, the applicable Special Servicer shall notify the applicable Master Servicer whenever a Servicing Advance is required to be made with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and, the applicable Master Servicer shall (subject to Section 3.11(h)) make such Servicing Advance; provided that the applicable Special
 
 
-250-

 
 
Servicer shall either (i) make any Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property that constitutes an Emergency Advance or (ii) notify the applicable Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after the applicable Special Servicer acquires actual knowledge of the need for such Emergency Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and request the applicable Master Servicer to make such Emergency Advance.  Each such notice and request shall be made, in writing, not less than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, not later than two (2) Business Days (provided the request sets forth the nature of the emergency), in advance of the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the applicable Master Servicer may reasonably request; provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than Emergency Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance).  The applicable Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) that it is so requested by the applicable Special Servicer to make (as described above) not later than the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made, but in no event shall it be required to make any Servicing Advance on a date that is earlier than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, on a date that is earlier than two (2) Business Days, following the applicable Master Servicer’s receipt of such request.  If the request is timely and properly made, the requesting applicable Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests the applicable Master Servicer to make with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (regardless of whether or not the applicable Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance).  The applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer, together with Advance Interest in accordance with Sections 3.05(a) and 3.11(g), at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the applicable Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby.  Any request by the applicable Special Servicer that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, on which deemed determination the applicable Master Servicer is entitled to rely.  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the right of the applicable Special Servicer under Section 3.11(i) with respect to the payment of any servicing expense that, if advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  If the applicable Special Servicer makes an Emergency Advance, the applicable Master Servicer shall reimburse the applicable Special Servicer for such Emergency Advance (with Advance Interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) within five (5) Business Days following the applicable Special Servicer’s request for reimbursement (which request shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the applicable Master Servicer may reasonably request), upon which reimbursement the applicable Master Servicer will be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance when the applicable Special Servicer made such Emergency Advance.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(b), the applicable Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the applicable Special Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the applicable Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the applicable
 
 
-251-

 
 
Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the applicable Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.  The applicable Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
 
(c)           Each Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, 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 Serviced Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Master Servicer (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Mortgage Loans on which the applicable Special Servicer allowed or consented to the applicable Master Servicer allowing a Principal Prepayment on such Serviced Mortgage Loan on a date other than the applicable Due Date) during the related Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate of (A) that portion of its Master Servicing Fees earned by such Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan for which such Master Servicing Fees are being paid in the related Collection Period, calculated for this purpose at one (1) basis point (0.01%) per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the applicable Master Servicer during the related Collection Period; provided that the applicable Master Servicer shall pay (without regard to clause (ii) above) the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall otherwise described in clause (i) above incurred in connection with any Principal Prepayment received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period to the extent such Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the applicable Master Servicer allowing the related Borrower to deviate from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order (including in connection with amounts collected as Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the extent that such applicable law or court order limits the ability of the applicable Master Servicer to apply the proceeds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents), (y) at the request or with the consent of the applicable Special Servicer, or (z) during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, at the request or with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative).  No Master Servicer shall be obligated to make any Compensating Interest Payments as a result of any prepayments on Mortgage Loans for which it does not act as Master Servicer.
 
The rights of the Certificateholders to offsets of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative from Collection Period to Collection Period.
 
(d)           With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is to be defeased in accordance with its terms, the applicable Master Servicer shall execute and deliver to each Rating Agency (subject to Section 3.27) a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N and, further, shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, require the related Borrower (i) to provide replacement collateral consisting of U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act in an amount
 
 
-252-

 
 
sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due (and assuming, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, that the subject ARD Mortgage Loan matures on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) to deliver a certificate from an independent certified public accounting firm certifying that the replacement collateral is sufficient to make such payments, (iii) at the option of the applicable Master Servicer, to designate a single purpose entity (which may be (but is not required to be) a subsidiary of the applicable Master Servicer established for the purpose of assuming all defeased Serviced Mortgage Loans) to assume the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) and own the defeasance collateral, (iv) to implement such defeasance only after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (v) to provide an Opinion of Counsel that the Trustee has a perfected, first priority security interest in the new collateral, and (vi) in the case of a partial defeasance of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, to defease a principal amount equal to at least 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property or Properties to be released; provided that, if (A) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000 or an outstanding principal balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool or is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans then in the Trust Fund, (B) the terms of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan do not permit the applicable Master Servicer to impose the foregoing requirements and the applicable Master Servicer does not satisfy such requirements on its own or (C) the applicable Master Servicer is unable to execute and deliver the certification attached hereto as Exhibit N in connection with the subject defeasance, then the applicable Master Servicer shall so notify the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and, so long as such a requirement would not violate applicable law or the Servicing Standard, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) with respect to such defeasance.  Subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the applicable Master Servicer shall not permit a defeasance unless (i) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to pay (or the Borrower in fact pays) all Rating Agency fees associated with defeasance (if a Rating Agency Confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all expenses associated with defeasance or other arrangements for payment of such costs are made at no expense to the Trust Fund or the applicable Master Servicer (provided that in no event shall such proposed other arrangements result in any liability to the Trust Fund including any indemnification of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer which may result in legal expenses to the Trust Fund), and (ii) the Borrower is required to provide all Opinions of Counsel, including Opinions of Counsel that the defeasance will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event and that the related Mortgage Loan Documents are fully enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar standard exceptions), and any applicable Rating Agency Confirmations.
 
(e)           In connection with the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Borrower was required to escrow funds or post a Letter of Credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion to retain the cash or Letter of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral if the relevant
 
 
-253-

 
 
conditions to release are not satisfied, then the applicable Master Servicer shall hold such escrows or Letters of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral and not use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents allow such action), unless holding such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.
 
Section 3.20     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.  (a)  The applicable Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and in the case of a Special Servicer Decision or a Material Action with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Non-WFB Mortgage Loan or a related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) or the applicable Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan other than a Special Servicer Decision or a Material Action with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Non-WFB Mortgage Loan or a related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) may (consistent with the Servicing Standard) agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, extend the maturity of, defer or forgive interest (including Default Interest) on and principal of, defer or forgive late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release, addition or substitution of the Borrower on or any guarantor of, any Serviced Mortgage Loan for which it is responsible, and respond to or approve Borrower requests for consent on the part of the mortgagee (including the lease reviews and lease consents related thereto), subject, however, to Sections 3.08, 3.24, 3.26, and/or 3.28, as applicable, and, in the case of each Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination, to the rights of third parties set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and, further to each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:

-254-

 
order to withhold or grant any such consent, (B) the applicable Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to Sections 3.24 and/or 3.26, as applicable), and (C) any such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if such consent has not been expressly denied within (x), for consents other than on a Serviced Loan Combination, fifteen (15) Business Days (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) and (y), for consents on a Serviced Loan Combination, ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, thirty (30) days), of the applicable Special Servicer’s receipt from the applicable Master Servicer of the applicable Master Servicer’s written analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby in order to make an informed decision.  If consent to a matter processed by the applicable Master Servicer and for which such Master Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to this clause (i) is granted or deemed to have been granted by such Special Servicer, then such Master Servicer will be responsible for entering into the relevant documentation;

Section 3.23     Subordinate Class Representative.  (a)  The Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall have a continuing right, subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.23, to appoint a representative (the “Subordinate Class Representative”) having the rights and powers specified in this Agreement (including those specified in Section 3.24)¸ and/or remove or replace any existing Subordinate Class Representative, by delivering notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicers, the Master Servicers and, in the case of a removal or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative, the then existing Subordinate Class Representative; provided that RREF II CMBS AIV, LP shall be the initial Subordinate Class Representative.  Such continuing right of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be exercisable in its sole discretion and at any time and from time to time, subject to subsection (b) below.  If at any time the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has not appointed a Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to this Section 3.23 or a Subordinate Class Representative has resigned or has been removed without the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder having appointed a successor Subordinate Class Representative, then the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be deemed to be the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that this provision shall not apply in the event the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has expressly waived its right to act as or appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.
 
(b)           No appointment of any Person as a Subordinate Class Representative shall be effective until such Person provides the Certificate Administrator with (i) written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, (ii) written confirmation of its agreement to keep confidential information confidential in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit K-3, (iii) an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and (iv) a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers).
 
(c)           Within ten (10) Business Days of any appointment or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative (other than the initial Subordinate Class Representative), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trust Advisor notice of the identity of such Subordinate Class Representative, including the name and address furnished to the Certificate Administrator under subsection (a) above.  The Certificate Administrator shall also deliver such information to each Master Servicer or each Special Servicer promptly upon request therefor by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be.  With respect to such information, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided to it under subsection (a) above, and the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall all be entitled to rely on such information provided by the Certificate Administrator with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Subordinate Class Representative.  In addition to the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the resignation or removal of a Subordinate Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the other parties to this Agreement of such event.

(d)           A Subordinate Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, which shall thereupon give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicers and the Master Servicers.  The effectiveness of such resignation shall not be conditioned upon or subject to the prior appointment or approval of a successor to the resigning Subordinate Class Representative.  In no event shall the failure of the Subordinate Class Representative or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to provide such notice prejudice or call into question the effectiveness of such resignation.  The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (e) below.
 
(e)           Once a Subordinate Class Representative has been selected pursuant to this Section 3.23, each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or such Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Certificate Administrator and each other party to this Agreement, in writing, of the resignation or removal of such Subordinate Class Representative.
 
(f)           Any and all expenses of the Subordinate Class Representative shall be borne by the Holders (or, if applicable, the Certificate Owners) of Certificates of the Subordinate Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class, and not by the Trust.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Subordinate Class Representative by a Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any particular Mortgage Loan, the Subordinate Class Representative shall immediately notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers, whereupon (if a Special Servicer, a Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the NCB Special Servicer, if such claim arises out of or relates solely to an NCB, FSB Mortgage Loan, or the General Special Servicer, in the case of all other claims, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative had acted in good faith, without negligence or willful misfeasance, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii) there is no potential for either Special Servicer, either Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Subordinate Class Representative) the NCB Special Servicer, if such claim arises out of or relates solely to an NCB, FSB Mortgage Loan, or the General Special Servicer, in the case of all other claims, on behalf of the Trust shall, subject to Section 6.03 and the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, assume, at the expense of the Trust Fund, the defense of any such claim against the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that no judgment against the Subordinate Class Representative shall be payable out of the Trust Fund.  This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of any Subordinate Class Representative.
 
(g)           The Subordinate Class Representative may receive amounts payable to the applicable Special Servicer as special servicing compensation as described in and to the extent as such Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative may agree.
 
(h)           In addition, upon request of a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or Trust Advisor, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably promptly provide the name of the then-current Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if requested, a list of the Certificateholders (or a securities position listing from the Depository) of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to such requesting party (at the expense of the Trust Fund).

(i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as the Class F Certificates are the Subordinate Class, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, each Master Servicer, each Special Servicer and Trust Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”).  Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party has sold or transferred, in the aggregate, a majority of the Class F Certificates to an unaffiliated third party or third parties (such sale or transfer, a “Class F Transfer”).  Following any such Transfer the successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall again have the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.  The successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 3.23(i) to irrevocably waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement.  No successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
 
(j)           The Subordinate Class Representative may not be a Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower.
 
Section 3.24     Asset Status Reports and Certain Rights and Powers of the Subordinate Class Representative.  (a)  No later than forty-five (45) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:
 
(i)           a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the related Borrower;
 
 
-271-

 
 
(ii)           a discussion of the general legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the applicable Special Servicer (including without limitation by reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c)), consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set forth herein and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;
 
(iii)          the most current rent roll (or, with respect to Co-op Mortgage Loans, maintenance schedule) and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties;
 
(iv)          a summary of the applicable Special Servicer’s recommended action with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;

(vi)          such other information as the applicable Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.
 
During a Subordinate Control Period, if the Subordinate Class Representative does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of receipt, the applicable Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report.  In addition, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may object to any Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender).  If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative disapproves the Asset Status Report and the applicable Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the applicable Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the disapproval, to the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).  During a Subordinate Control Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report until the Subordinate Class

Representative fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report as described above, until the Subordinate Class Representative’s approval is no longer required or until the applicable Special Servicer makes a determination that the objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender).  If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and the applicable Special Servicer have not agreed upon an Asset Status Report within ninety (90) days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the initial Asset Status Report, the applicable Special Servicer shall implement the actions described in the most recent Asset Status Report submitted by the applicable Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the applicable Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above and if the applicable Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the applicable Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts, during a Subordinate Control Period, to contact the Subordinate Class Representative.  The foregoing shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.
 
The applicable Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.24(a).
 
In addition, the applicable Special Servicer shall deliver a summary (as approved by the Subordinate Class Representative if a Subordinate Control Period is in effect) of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Trust Advisor (and, with respect to the Trust Advisor, shall also deliver each Final Asset Status Report).  Upon receipt of such summary, the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on its website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).
 
A “Final Asset Status Report”, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, means each related Asset Status Report, together with such other data or supporting information provided by the applicable Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative, in each case prepared in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and which, in any event, will not include any Privileged Information; provided that no Asset Status Report shall be considered to be a Final Asset Status Report unless, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative has either finally approved of and consented to the actions proposed to be taken in connection therewith, or has exhausted all of its rights of approval or consent, or has been deemed to approve or consent to such action.
 
Each of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the applicable
 
 
-273-

 
 
Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the applicable Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor, as applicable.  The applicable Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor.  Consultation with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).

(b)           Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (without regard to the sixty (60) day or one hundred twenty (120) day period, respectively, set forth therein), the applicable Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the applicable Special Servicer with all information relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the applicable Special Servicer.  The applicable Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.
 
(c)           During any Subordinate Control Period, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative will be entitled to approve or disapprove Asset Status Reports and (ii) the applicable Special Servicer generally will not be permitted to take or consent to the applicable Master Servicer’s taking any Material Action not otherwise covered by an approved Asset Status Report, unless and until the applicable Special Servicer has notified the Subordinate Class Representative and the Subordinate Class Representative has consented (or failed to object) thereto in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with a leasing matter, five (5) Business Days, or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) of having been notified thereof in writing and provided with all reasonably requested information by it.  However, the applicable Special Servicer may take any Material Action (or consent to the applicable Master Servicer’s taking a Material Action) without waiting for the response of the Subordinate Class Representative if the applicable Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, if affected thereby, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole.  Furthermore, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may, in general, direct the applicable Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, any actions as that representative may deem advisable with respect to the servicing and administration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or as to which provision is otherwise made in this Agreement.  During a Subordinate Control Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or the Subordinate Class Representative on its behalf shall have the right to remove the existing

applicable Special Servicer, with or without cause, and appoint a successor to the applicable Special Servicer, all as provided in Section 6.05(a).
 
During any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have consultation rights (in addition to those of the Trust Advisor) with respect to Material Actions not otherwise covered by an Asset Status Report as to which the Subordinate Class Representative has been consulted.  During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no right to remove the existing applicable Special Servicer.
 
During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Action is covered by an Asset Status Report); provided that the applicable Special Servicer shall not consult with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions related to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the applicable Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement, to the extent such actions do not relate to the restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

organization or content by the Trust Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Trust Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement) setting forth the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the applicable Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans during the prior calendar year; provided that during any Subordinate Control Period, such assessment shall relate solely to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report has been issued.  Solely as used in connection with the Trust Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to a Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, taking into account such Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Trust Advisor of the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement.  If the Trust Advisor has provided for review to the applicable Special Servicer a Trust Advisor Annual Report containing an assessment of the performance of such Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.28(a)(iv) that in the reasonable view of such Special Servicer presents a negative assessment of that Special Servicer’s performance, that Special Servicer shall be permitted to provide to the Trust Advisor non-privileged information and documentation, in each case that is reasonably relevant to the facts upon which the Trust Advisor has based such assessment, and the Trust Advisor shall undertake a reasonable review of such additional limited non-privileged information and documentation prior to finalizing its annual assessment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the content of the Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be determined solely by the Trust Advisor.  Subject to the restrictions and limitations in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.28(b), (c), (d) and (g) hereof, each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations of which it has actual knowledge (i) from that Special Servicer’s obligations to comply with the Servicing Standard and (ii) from that Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions).  No Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Trust Advisor with respect to a Special Servicer if during the prior calendar year no Asset Status Report was prepared (or, during a Subordinate Control Period, finalized) by such Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.  In addition, in the event a Special Servicer is replaced during the prior calendar year, the Trust Advisor will only be required to prepare a Trust Advisor Annual Report relating to each 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 Trust Advisor Annual Report.  Each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upon receipt post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).  The Trust Advisor shall
 
 
-290-

 
 
also deliver a copy of each Trust Advisor Annual Report to the applicable Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.  The applicable Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, shall be given an opportunity to review any annual report described in this Section 3.28(a)(ii) and produced by the Trust Advisor at least ten (10) days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator.
 
(iii)          The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, confidential any Privileged Information received from the applicable Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative in connection with the Subordinate Class Representative’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the Certificates.  Subject to the permitted exceptions in the following sentence, the Trust Advisor shall not disclose such Privileged Information so received from the applicable Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then Holders of the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the other parties to this Agreement, to any trustee or certificate administrator appointed for the benefit of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and to the extent expressly required by the other provisions of this Agreement and other than under the circumstances described in the following sentence.  If the Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors or the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates, or any other party to this Agreement (other than the applicable Special Servicer), receives any Privileged Information and has been advised that such information is Privileged Information, then such Person shall be prohibited from disclosing such information so received by it to any other Person, including in connection with preparing any responses to any investor-submitted inquiries posted on the Investor Q&A Forum, except to the extent that (a) the applicable Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative have consented in writing to its disclosure, (b) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such Person, (c) it is reasonable and necessary for such Person to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (d) such Privileged Information was already known to such Person and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation, (e) such disclosure is expressly authorized or required under another provision of this Agreement and/or (f) such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of permitting the Trust Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement and so long as such Affiliates and any such subcontractors agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor.
 
(iv)          During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor shall provide the applicable Special Servicer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the
 
 
-291-

 
 
date proposed for the annual meeting described in this Section 3.28(a).  The Trust Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer shall determine a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting and the Trust Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen (14) days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the applicable Special Servicer, including the identity of the Final Asset Status Report(s), if any, that shall be discussed during the annual meeting.  In connection with the annual meeting, the Trust Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports produced with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment of the applicable Special Servicer.  The applicable Special Servicer shall make available Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related platform-level information for each annual meeting described in this Section 3.28.
 
(v)           If the Trust Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Trust Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Trust Advisor or such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Trust Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Trust Advisor Annual Report.
 
(b)           During a Subordinate Control Period, the Trust Advisor’s obligations shall be limited to the general reviews as set forth in this Agreement and generally will not involve an assessment of specific actions of either Special Servicer and, in any event, shall be subject to limitations described in this Agreement.
 
(c)           The Trust Advisor shall not be required, in connection with its preparation of any Trust Advisor Annual Report during a Subordinate Control Period, to consider any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report was not issued during the most recently ended calendar year.
 
(d)           During any Subordinate Control Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations used in the applicable Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) after they have been finalized, and the Trust Advisor may review such calculations in support of its Trust Advisor Annual Report but shall not opine on, or otherwise call into question (whether in the annual report or otherwise) such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations.
 
(e)           During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall forward any calculations of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value to the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative, and (a) the Trust Advisor shall (upon receipt of all information and supporting materials reasonably required to be provided to the Trust Advisor as described in the following sentence) promptly recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value
 
 
-292-

 
 
calculations used in the applicable Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the utilization by the applicable Special Servicer, and (b) insofar as the calculation and/or application by the applicable Special Servicer under review as contemplated by clause (a) requires or depends upon the exercise of discretion by the applicable Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall assess the reasonableness of the determination made by the applicable Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion.  The applicable Special Servicer shall deliver the foregoing calculations, together with information and supporting materials (with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations, once such information is received from the applicable Master Servicer) (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period) the Subordinate Class Representative.  In the event the Trust Advisor does not agree with (i) the mathematical calculations, (ii) the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation or (iii) the reasonableness of any such determination made by the applicable Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion, the Trust Advisor and the applicable Special Servicer shall consult in good faith with each other in order to resolve (x) any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or (y) any disagreement over the reasonableness of a determination made by the applicable Special Servicer in the exercise of its discretion.  During any Collective Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall also send to the Subordinate Class Representative copies of the applicable Special Servicer’s calculations and the related information and supporting materials, as provided above to the Trust Advisor under this subsection, and engage in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with its calculations and determinations.  During any Collective Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative agree on such matters and provide written notice of such agreement to the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer shall perform its calculations in accordance with such agreement.  Otherwise, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative do not reach agreement on such matters following the Trust Advisor’s calculation and verification procedures, the applicable Special Servicer shall proceed according to its determination, and the Trust Advisor shall promptly prepare a report on the matter, which report shall set forth its and the applicable Special Servicer’s calculations (including any material differences in assumptions used therein), and deliver such report to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post the report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and, if applicable, to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.  No other action shall be required in connection with such circumstances.
 
(f)            During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor and, during a Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative.  The Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the applicable Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Reports, if any, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both such Asset Status Report and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives may be in the best interest of the Certificateholders
 
 
-293-

 
 
(including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (if applicable), as a collective whole.  Regardless of whether the applicable Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such actions as are in accordance with such Asset Status Report.
 
(g)           During any Collective Consultation Period (in addition to the Subordinate Class Representative) or Senior Consultation Period, the applicable Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to, and prior to, Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Actions are covered by an Asset Status Report) and the Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the applicable Special Servicer in respect of each such Material Action within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both a written request for consultation with respect to such Material Action and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor; provided that the Trust Advisor shall have no such duty with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the applicable Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement to the extent such actions do not relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.  Regardless of whether the applicable Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, such Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such Material Actions as are in accordance with such request for consultation.
 
(h)           The applicable Special Servicer shall consider any written alternative courses of action and any other feedback suggested or provided by the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative.  The applicable Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems necessary to take into account such input and/or comments, to the extent the applicable Special Servicer determines that the Trust Advisor’s and/or Subordinate Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders, taking into account the interests of all of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, as applicable), as a collective whole.
 
(i)            The applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor that would require or cause the applicable Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Loan Combination or any other provision of this Agreement, including the applicable Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions or result in an Adverse REMIC Event for any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event for the Grantor Trust Pool.  For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Special Servicer shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor in any event.  Furthermore, notwithstanding Section 3.28(f) and 3.28(g), if the applicable Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing
 
 
-294-

 
 
Standard, the applicable Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above if the applicable Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the applicable Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform the Trust Advisor of its decision to take emergency action.  The foregoing shall not relieve the applicable Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.
 
(j)            The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the extent expressly set forth herein.
 
(k)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive monthly the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related successor REO Mortgage Loan prior to the Trust Advisor’s termination in accordance with Section 3.28(p).  As to each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related successor REO Mortgage Loan, the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or successor REO Mortgage Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated thereon and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due or deemed thereon is computed.  The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Sections 6.03(a), 6.03(b) and/or 6.05 hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xiv), but in the case of any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses, reimbursements during any Collection Period shall not exceed the limit set forth for the related Distribution Date in Section 4.05(b) hereof.  The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control-Eligible Certificates; provided that Designated Trust Advisor Expenses shall be reimbursable without limitation from the Collection Account as described in Section 3.05(a)(xiv).  Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.
 
(l)            As additional compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee.  The Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable, subject to the limitations set forth below, in an amount equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor engages in consultation under Section 3.24 and this Section 3.28; provided that (i) no such fee shall be paid except to the extent such fee is actually paid by the applicable Borrower (and in no event shall such fee be paid from the Trust Fund); (ii) the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to waive all or any portion of such fee in its sole discretion; and (iii) the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be authorized to waive the related Borrower’s
 
 
-295-

 
 
payment of such fee in whole or in part if the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, (A) determines that such waiver accords with the Servicing Standard and (B) consults with the Trust Advisor prior to effecting such waiver.  In connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights under Section 3.24 or this Section 3.28, the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower, in each case, only to the extent that such collection is not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan Documents.  In no event shall the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, take any enforcement action in connection with the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee, except that this statement shall not be construed to prohibit requests for payment of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee.  No Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable with respect to the Colorado Mills Loan Combination.
 
(m)          The Trust Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Trust Advisor with a replacement Trust Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Trust Advisor meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.28(o)), (ii) such requesting Holders making payment to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, (iii) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense) and (iv) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator an analogous “rating agency confirmation” from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense).  The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.  Upon the vote or written direction of Certificateholders entitled to at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee shall immediately replace the Trust Advisor with the replacement Trust Advisor.  If a proposed termination and replacement of the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect.  In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of any replacement Trust Advisor proposed pursuant to this Section 3.28(m) shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10)
 
 
-296-

 
 
Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.
 
(n)           If (i) the Trust Advisor fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice has been given to the Trust Advisor, (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Trust Advisor, or (iii) the Trust Advisor acknowledges in writing its inability to perform its duties hereunder, then either the Depositor or the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall, terminate the Trust Advisor for cause.  Upon the termination of the Trust Advisor, a replacement Trust Advisor satisfying the conditions for such replacement in Section 3.28(o) below shall be selected by the Trustee.  In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the proposed replacement Trust Advisor shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.  The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Trust Advisor that it meets such criteria.  If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Trust Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Trust Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.  Unless and until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Trust Advisor and the provisions relating to consultation and consent with respect to the Trust Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed hereunder.
 
(o)           Any replacement Trust Advisor shall (or all of the personnel responsible for supervising the obligations of the Trust Advisor shall) meet the following criteria:  (i) be regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-backed securities matters and have at least five (5) years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (ii) have at least five (5) years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets.
 
(p)           The Trust Advisor shall be discharged from its duties hereunder when the Class Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest have been reduced to zero.
 
(q)           The Trust Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, (the latter two only if applicable), and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Trust Advisor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.28(o) above and receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.  During a Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the replacement
 
 
-297-

 
 
Trust Advisor will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Subordinate Class Representative only if the replacement Trust Advisor is a special servicer that (i) is rated or approved by an NRSRO and (ii) has not acted as a trust advisor or operating advisor in connection with a rated commercial mortgage securitization as of the Closing Date; provided that such approval will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for such approval, and, if granted, such approval may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.  No such resignation by the Trust Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Trust Advisor shall have assumed the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations.  The resigning Trust Advisor shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency and Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of the Trust Advisor and the transfer of its duties (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with higher market fees of a successor, transferring related information, records and reports to the successor).
 
(r)            If the Trust Advisor resigns, is discharged or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees, Trust Advisor Expenses, indemnification amounts, and rights to indemnification which shall be payable in accordance with the priorities and subject to the limitations set forth herein including, without limitation, Section 4.05 hereof.
 
(s)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and that the goal of the Trust Advisor’s participation is to provide monitoring (subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement) relating to the applicable Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute, (ii) the Trust Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder or any Serviced Companion Loan Holders for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (iii) the agreements of the Trust Advisor set forth in the other provisions of this Agreement shall be construed solely as agreements to perform analytical and reporting services, (iv) the Trust Advisor shall have no authority or duty to make a determination on behalf of the Trust Fund, nor have any responsibility for decisions made by or on behalf of the Trust Fund, (v) insofar as the words “consult”, “recommend” or words of similar import are used in this Agreement in respect of the Trust Advisor and any servicing action or inaction, such words shall be construed to mean the performance of analysis and reporting services, which the applicable Special Servicer may determine not to accept, (vi) the absence of a response by the Trust Advisor to an Asset Status Report or other matter in which this Agreement contemplates consultation with the Trust Advisor shall not be construed as an approval, endorsement, acquiescence or recommendation for or against any proposed action (but, in the event of such absence of a response, the applicable Special Servicer (x) shall be deemed to have complied with the relevant provision that otherwise required consultation with the Trust Advisor and (y) shall be entitled to proceed as if consultation with the Trust Advisor had not initially been required in connection with such Asset Status Report or other matter), (vii) any provision hereof that otherwise purports, or that may be construed, to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to consider the Servicing Standard or the interests of the Certificateholders shall be construed as a requirement to use the Servicing

Standard or such interests as the basis of measurement in its analysis and reporting and the basis of measurement in its evaluation of the performance of the applicable Special Servicer and its determination of whether an action, recommendation or report by the applicable Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, and not to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to itself comply with the Servicing Standard or itself act in the interests of the Certificateholders, and, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and such basis of measurement shall be construed to refer to no particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, (viii) no other party to this Agreement, and no Subordinate Class Representative, shall have any duty to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trust Advisor of its services under this Agreement and (ix) the Trust Advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to any Person in connection with this Agreement.
 
(t)            The Trust Advisor shall not make any principal investment in any Certificate or interest therein; provided that such prohibition shall not be construed to have been violated (i) in connection with riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Trust Advisor or (ii) pursuant to investments by an Affiliate of the Trust Advisor if the Trust Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures designed to segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and to prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust Fund and the Trust Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.
 
(u)           The Trust Advisor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not, to enter into any transaction as a result of which (i) the applicable Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof would be obligated, whether by agreement or otherwise, and whether or not subject to any condition or contingency, to pay any fee to, or otherwise compensate or grant monetary or other consideration to, the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof (other than compensation to which the Trust Advisor is entitled hereunder) (x) in connection with the Trust Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement or (y) in consideration of the appointment or continuation of such Person as the applicable Special Servicer, (ii) the applicable Special Servicer would be entitled to receive any compensation from the Trust Advisor in connection with its activities under this Agreement or (iii) the applicable Special Servicer would be entitled to receive from the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof any fee in connection with the appointment or continuation of such Person as applicable Special Servicer unless, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such transaction has been expressly approved by the Holders of Certificates representing 100% of the Voting Rights.
 
(v)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Advisor shall have no duty with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, or the assessment of the actions of any Special Servicer under this Agreement or any applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement taken with respect to any such mortgage loan.

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, a Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or a Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, a Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or a Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, a Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or a Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control), as the case may be, upon prior written notice to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer with Litigation Control, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower under the related loan documents or otherwise relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan, Loan Combination or Mortgaged Property, neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state (provided that no Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, a Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or a Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer shall each have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim).  Subject to the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative under this Section 3.32, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to preclude either the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, from initiating any Litigation Control related action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as a representative of the Trust Fund.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction, objection of, or consent given or withheld by the Subordinate Class Representative shall (i) require or cause the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to violate any

Any distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall be distributed (i) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.
 
For purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, for the related

Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that:  (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0.  If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.
 
For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the applicable Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment) of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is not related to an ARD Mortgage Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is related to an ARD Mortgage Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield.  If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.
 
(d)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account any amounts then on deposit in the Class V Sub-Account of the Distribution Account that represent Post-ARD Additional Interest collected or deemed collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans or REO Mortgage Loans related to ARD Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class V Certificates.
 
(e)           All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.  Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of

any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register.  The final distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of a Principal Balance Certificate, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made in a like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.  Prior to any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of which the Certificate Administrator was subsequently notified in writing.  If such check is returned to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check as it shall deem appropriate.  Any funds in respect of a check returned to the Certificate Administrator shall be set aside by the Certificate Administrator and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate Holder.  The costs and expenses of locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder.  If the Certificate Administrator has not, after having taken such reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the second anniversary of the initial sending of a check, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R Certificateholders.
 
(f)            Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.  Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent.  Each indirect participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Certificate Owners that it represents.  None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.  The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall perform their respective obligations under the letters of representation between the Issuer and the initial Depository dated as of the Closing Date and pertaining to the Book-Entry Certificates, a copy of which Letters of Representations are attached hereto as Exhibit B.
 
(g)           The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Fund with respect to the Certificates, and all rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.  Neither
 
 
-312-

 
 
the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates with respect to amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.
 
(h)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator receives written notification of or expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined, in the case of a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, mail to each Holder of record of such Class of Certificates on such date (with a copy to be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b)) a notice to the effect that:
 
(i)            the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at such other location therein specified, and
 
(ii)           no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Distribution Date.
 
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.  If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such non-tendering Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice thereto shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph.  If all of the Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject thereto.
 
(i)            All distributions made in respect of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest on each

The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(i).  Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC II Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(i), actual distributions of funds from the REMIC Sub-Account of the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.
 
(j)            On each Distribution Date, including the Final Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount for such date shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case to the extent of the remaining portions of such funds, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:
 
(i)            as deemed distributions of interest with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, all Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously deemed distributed, for all prior Distribution Dates;
 
(ii)           as deemed distributions of principal with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, as to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to the related Mortgage Loan(s) or REO Mortgage Loan(s); and

(iii)          as deemed distributions with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, pro rata in accordance with, and in reimbursement of, any Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses and Trust Advisor Expenses previously allocated to each such REMIC I Regular Interest (with compounded interest).
 
The portion of each Prepayment Premium and Yield Maintenance Charge that is distributed to any Class of Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall, in each case, be deemed to have been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interest(s) corresponding to the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in respect of which such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge was received or deemed received.
 
The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(j).  Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(j), actual distributions of funds from the REMIC Sub-Account of the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.

Agreement), due or deemed due and net of any Post-ARD Additional Interest, as the case may be, in respect of the Mortgage Loans for which it is acting as Master Servicer and any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on their respective Due Dates occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, in each case to the extent such amount was not Received by the Trust as of the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance that would otherwise be required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance.  The determination by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) that it has made constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment.  In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries.  In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain from the applicable Special Servicer any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the applicable Special Servicer for such purposes.  Any determination by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositor, the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and, if made by the applicable Master Servicer, the Trustee (on or before the related P&I Advance Date in the case of a proposed P&I Advance) and, if such Nonrecoverable P&I Advance is with respect to a Mortgage Loan in any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) or, following the securitization of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Other Master Servicer (if applicable), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the nine (9) months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained.  A copy of any
 
 
-326-

 
 
such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the applicable Special Servicer and the applicable Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Other Master Servicer (if applicable).  Absent bad faith, the applicable Master Servicer’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any nonrecoverability determination made by the applicable Master Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance.  The applicable Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make P&I Advances hereunder or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, comparable advances under the terms of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make P&I Advances may reasonably request.  The applicable Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance.
 
The applicable Special Servicer for each Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the applicable Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the applicable Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by a Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on a Master Servicer or the Trustee.  A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the applicable Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan.  The applicable Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.
 
(d)           In the case of each Mortgage Loan, the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (with its own funds), to the extent that such P&I Advance (i) relates to a Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment in respect of a Mortgage Loan that is a Past Grace Period Loan or an REO Mortgage Loan when made, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue from the related P&I Advance Date, or (ii) is made with respect to a Within Grace Period Loan and remains outstanding when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in either case, for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case of Advance Interest payable to the applicable Master Servicer, if
 
 
-327-

 
 
earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been Received by the Trust).  Such interest with respect to any P&I Advance shall be payable:  (i) first, in accordance with Section 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such P&I Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account.  The applicable Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself or the Trustee, as applicable, for any outstanding P&I Advance made thereby with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection was received by or on behalf of the Trust as of the related P&I Advance Date.
 
(e)           With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the applicable Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on the related Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.03(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, by the related Other Master Servicer.  If the applicable Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the applicable Master Servicer subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, or if the applicable Master Servicer receives written notice from the applicable Special Servicer for such Serviced Loan Combination that such Special Servicer has made such a determination, pursuant to this Section 4.03(e), the applicable Master Servicer shall promptly provide the related Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination.  If the applicable Master Servicer receives written notice from any related Other Master Servicer that such Other Master Servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee but each of the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.
 
In connection with any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, any determination by the applicable Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
 
-328-

 
 
The applicable Special Servicer for each Serviced Loan Combination or Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the applicable Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the applicable Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the applicable Special Servicer to the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the applicable Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by a Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on a Master Servicer or the Trustee.  A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the applicable Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the applicable Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan.  The applicable Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.
 
(f)            With regard to such P&I Advances, the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee shall account for that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Past Grace Period Loans, and that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Within Grace Period Loans.
 
(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Pari Passu Companion Loan (whether or not it constitutes a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or otherwise) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan related thereto.
 
Section 4.04     Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portions of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the Class Principal Balances of the Class G, Class F, Class E and Class D Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first).  If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the

Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the respective Class Principal Balances of all the outstanding Classes of the Class A Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero.  All reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest under this Section 4.04(a) shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.  Any reduction in the Class Principal Balance of the Class C Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.
 
(b)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(g), the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest G, REMIC II Regular Interest F, REMIC II Regular Interest E, REMIC II Regular Interest D, REMIC II Regular Interest C, REMIC II Regular Interest B and REMIC II Regular Interest A-S shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess (other than any portion thereof that exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period) or the related Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first).  If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest that are the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, as among such individual Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests, in accordance with their Uncertificated Principal

Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero.  All reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC II Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(b) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
 
(c)           On each Distribution Date, if, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(j), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of any REMIC I Regular Interest, in each case after taking account of such deemed distributions, exceeds the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, then, except to the extent that such excess exists (taking account of the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be reduced to equal such Stated Principal Balance of such related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount excluded from the aggregate reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests collectively shall equal the amount excluded from the reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above and such aggregate exclusion amount shall be deemed to be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pro rata according to their Stated Principal Balances that, in the absence of such any and all such exclusions, would have been outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date by operation of the immediately preceding sentence.  Any reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC I Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(c) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
 
Section 4.05     Allocation of Certain Trust Advisor Expenses.  (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) to reduce the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class E Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest and Class B Regular Interest Certificates, in that order, in each case, until the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class E Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest or Class B Regular Interest for such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero.  Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable on the Class A Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Interest Only Certificates or the Control-Eligible Certificates or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
 
-331-

 
 
To the extent that the amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable to the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest, Class D Certificates and Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be allocated to reduce the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise allocable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date.  Such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall reduce the Principal Distribution Amount for the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date, and shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates in the following order:  to the Class E and Class D Certificates, and then to the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests, in each case, until the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates or Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest has been reduced to zero.  Following the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the foregoing Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests to zero, the Certificate Administrator shall allocate any remaining Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances), until the remaining Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, have been reduced to zero.  Any Excess Trust Advisor Expenses allocated to the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.05(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.
 
Any Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) or Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates (which are not Control-Eligible Certificates) shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the respective Certificates.  If amounts distributable in respect of the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and Class D and Class E Certificates and otherwise available as the indicated portion of the Principal Distribution Amount are insufficient to reimburse any related Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) on a Distribution Date, any unreimbursed Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution Date that such applicable amounts are available.  In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Control-Eligible Certificates.

(b)           On any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise distributable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class D and Class E Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests and (ii) the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest as a result of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D and Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date.  Any amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds are sufficient, in accordance with Section 4.05(a), to make such payments.
 
(c)           To the extent that any actual recoveries of previously-incurred Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) are received from a source other than the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period related to any Distribution Date, such amounts shall be applied, first, as provided in Section 4.01(a) to reimburse the Holders of any Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component), the Class B Regular Interest (and therefore the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component) and the Class C Regular Interest (and therefore the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component) that suffered write-offs in connection with Trust Advisor Expenses, and any portion of such recovery remaining after such application shall be considered in the calculation of the Interest Distribution Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and the Class D and Class E Certificates, as and to the extent set forth in the definition of Interest Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date (with the actual payment of such portion to be made to the Holders of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and Class D and/or Class E Certificates to the extent required under the combined operation of the definition of Interest Distribution Amount and the provisions of Section 4.01(a) other than the final paragraph of Section 4.01(a)).
 
Section 4.06     Calculations.  Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary information from the applicable Master Servicer and/or the applicable Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 and the actual and deemed allocations of Trust Advisor Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.05.  The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement.  Absent actual knowledge of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any information provided to it by the applicable Master Servicer.  The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.06 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

(C)          Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
 
(D)          Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee.

(e)           If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator (or such Certificate Owner) to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as appropriate, of this Section 5.02.

Section 5.06     Certification by Certificate Owners.  To the extent that under the terms of this Agreement, it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Certificate Owner, the Certificate Administrator shall make such determination based on a certificate of such Person which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 hereto (or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator) and shall, to the extent required by the Certificate Administrator, specify the Class and Certificate Principal Balance or Certificate Notional Amount, as the case may be, of the Book-Entry Certificate beneficially owned; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall knowingly recognize such Person as a Certificate Owner if such Person, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as the case may be, acquired its Ownership Interest in a Book-Entry Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(c), or if such Person’s certification that it is a Certificate Owner is in direct conflict with information actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, with respect to the identity of a Certificate Owner.  The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall each exercise its reasonable discretion in making any determination under this Section 5.06 and shall afford any

(b)           Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Authenticating Agent.
 
(c)           Any Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.07 may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor.  The Certificate Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent appointed in accordance with this Section 5.07 by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor.  Upon receiving a notice of such a resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.07, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, in which case the Certificate Administrator shall give written notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of Certificates; provided that no successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.07.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties

-349-

 
 
agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any such party, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Accounts and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b), against any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust, other than any loss, liability, cost or expense:  (i) specifically required to be borne by such party, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person herein, or (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such Person’s obligations and duties hereunder or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations and duties.  Such indemnification shall extend (subject to the same limitations and qualifications) to any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred by any such Person in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to a Loan Combination (whether or not the Loan Combination is then being serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but the relevant party must promptly notify the applicable Master Servicer and the Other Master Servicer of any claim (but the omission to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund from any liability which it may have to any such indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund) and, if any indemnification payment is made to such party from general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Collection Accounts, the applicable Master Servicer will be required to use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for that holder’s allocable share of the amount so paid.
 
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trust Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, except in the case of a legal action the costs of which such party is specifically required hereunder to bear, in its opinion does not involve it in any ultimate expense or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder; provided that the Depositor, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the rights of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole).  In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, either Master Servicer, either Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Accounts, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b) (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, if such expenses and costs relate specifically to such Serviced Loan Combination, first, pro rata from the related Collection Account and the related

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (based on the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and, if funds in the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Accounts).  Following reimbursement or payment of such amounts (with no obligation to repay such amounts), the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is held by an Other Securitization, from such Other Securitization), of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s pro rata share of such amounts reimbursed by the Collection Accounts.  In no event will the Trust Advisor have any duty to appear in any legal proceedings in connection with this Agreement.
 
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, for the purposes of indemnification of a Master Servicer or Special Servicer and limitation of liability, a Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misfeasance or committed bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations or duties or acted in negligent disregard or other disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense).  Any indemnification payments or reimbursements of costs or expenses described in the preceding paragraph to which the Trust Advisor may become entitled shall constitute Trust Advisor Expenses and the payment of such Trust Advisor Expenses (other than those that constitute Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.05.  The Trust Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement of expenses for its services except those for which it is entitled to indemnification as described above.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense that is, pursuant to this Section 6.03(a), required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or Collection Accounts, relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the related Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, on a pro rata basis, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or the Collection Accounts that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the related Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination).  Insofar as any such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so

paid by withdrawal from the Collection Accounts or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the applicable Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense into the applicable Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(b)           In addition, none of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers or any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall be entitled to rely, as to the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on any documents, certificates or opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, furnished to, and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by such Person to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, certificate or opinion, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder.  Each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trust Advisor may rely in good faith on information provided to it by the other parties hereto (unless the provider and the recipient of such information are the same Person or Affiliates) and by the Borrowers and property managers, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof.  Each of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trust Advisor may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, or directors, members, officers, employees or agents of any such party as the case may be, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel.  Furthermore, none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trust Advisor or directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents of any such party shall have any liability under this Agreement for any failure of any other such Person (or any other party to this Agreement) to perform such Person’s obligations or duties hereunder.

(b)           In addition, each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall have the right to resign at any other time for any reason, provided that (i) a willing successor thereto (including any such successor proposed by the resigning party) has been found that is, solely in the case of a successor to a Special Servicer if it is a resigning special servicer, acceptable to the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), (ii) solely in the case of a Special Servicer if it is the resigning party, the resigning party has consulted with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) with respect to the identity and quality of its proposed successor, (iii) the succession is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency), (iv) the successor accepts appointment in writing prior to the effectiveness of such resignation and (v) the successor is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such succession unless the Depositor consents to the appointment in its reasonable discretion.

Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor (to be obtained at the expenses solely of such Certificateholders) and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the Certificate Administrator shall post such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard.  Upon the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the applicable Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor Special Servicer that was proposed by the Certificateholders requesting the vote.  Such termination and replacement shall be further conditioned on such successor Special Servicer being a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.05(e) to the extent that such conditions have not otherwise been satisfied.  Such termination shall also be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination.  If a proposed termination and replacement of a Special Servicer by Certificateholders as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect (except that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to apply any amounts prepaid by such Certificateholders for expenses to pay any expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator).
 
(c)           In addition, during any Senior Consultation Period, if the Trust Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the applicable Special Servicer is not performing its duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Trust Advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of such Special Servicer.  In such event, the Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the then-current applicable Special Servicer, a written recommendation in electronic format and in the form of Exhibit O-3 attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented by the Trust Advisor from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information as it deems appropriate) detailing the reasons supporting its position and recommending a suggested replacement Special Servicer.  In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall post such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail transmit such recommendation to, conduct the solicitation of votes of, the Holders of all Certificates, according to such procedures (including the establishment of a record date for voting) as it determines.  Such notice and solicitation shall state that the proposed replacement, if approved by the Certificateholders, shall be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.05(e) within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor and that any approval granted by the requisite Certificateholders in the aggregate may not be revoked or withdrawn at any time.  The Trust Advisor’s recommendation to replace a Special Servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of Certificateholders having at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an

aggregate basis.  In the event the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates elect to remove and replace a Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Trust Advisor and the then-current applicable Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly request a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable) with respect to the proposed removal and replacement, unless such Certificateholders themselves deliver such Rating Agency Confirmation.  In the event the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable) (and the successor Special Servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), the Trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of such Special Servicer under this Agreement and to appoint the successor Special Servicer that has been approved by the Certificateholders and constitutes a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b).  Any such termination of an existing Special Servicer will be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination.  The Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall cooperate in using reasonable efforts to cause the satisfaction of the conditions to the consummation of such replacement set forth in Section 6.05(e).  The reasonable costs and expenses associated with the Trust Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator’s obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations administering the vote of the Certificateholders shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense.  If a proposed termination and replacement of a Special Servicer recommended by the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor, then (i) the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and (iii) the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the then-current applicable Special Servicer.  The costs and expenses of administering the notices, solicitation of votes and otherwise incurred by the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Advisor in connection with the proposed removal and replacement (including the costs and expenses associated with obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 6.05(e)) shall constitute expenses of the Trust Fund to be paid by withdrawal from the Distribution Account.  None of the Special Servicers, any Certificateholder or any other Person shall have any cause of action against the Trust Advisor or any other Person based upon or arising from the Trust Advisor’s determination and recommendation for replacement of a Special Servicer under this Section 6.05(c), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination with respect to which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is the “Lead Lender”, “Controlling Note Holder”, “Directing Note Holder” or other comparable party under the related Intercreditor Agreement, such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to replace the applicable Special Servicer with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and no Special Servicer appointed by such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion

Loan Holder (or its representative) with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination may be subsequently terminated pursuant to any of subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 6.05.  For the avoidance of doubt, there is no Serviced Loan Combination with respect to which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is the “Lead Lender”, “Controlling Note Holder”, “Directing Note Holder” or other comparable party under the related Intercreditor Agreement.
 
(e)           No removal of a Special Servicer and/or appointment of a successor thereto pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be effective until the Trustee shall have received (A) a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)) with respect to such removal and/or appointment, (B) an Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2, executed by the Person designated to be the successor to that terminated Special Servicer, and (C) an Opinion of Counsel (the expense of which shall be deemed to be part of the expenses of the replacement) substantially to the effect that (1) such designated Person is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (2) the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I-2, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such designated Person and (3) upon the execution and delivery of the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer, such designated Person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, subject to customary bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions and customary equity exceptions, this Agreement shall be enforceable against such designated Person in accordance with its terms.
 
(f)           Any Special Servicer terminated pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be deemed to have been so terminated simultaneously with the designated successor’s becoming a Special Servicer hereunder; provided that (i) the terminated Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, in connection with its termination, payment out of the Collection Account of all of its accrued and unpaid Special Servicing Fees, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05(a), and reimbursement from the successor to such terminated Special Servicer of all outstanding Servicing Advances made by such terminated Special Servicer and all unpaid Advance Interest accrued on such outstanding Servicing Advances (in which case the successor to such terminated Special Servicer shall be deemed to have made such Servicing Advances at the same time that such terminated Special Servicer had actually made them), (ii) such terminated Special Servicer shall thereafter be entitled to Workout Fees, as and to the extent expressly permitted by Section 3.11(c), and (iii) such terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination; and provided, further, that such terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be obligated to pay (and entitled to receive) all other amounts accrued to (or owing by) it under this Agreement on or prior to the effective date of such termination.  Such terminated Special Servicer shall cooperate (time being of the essence in connection with a termination under Section 6.05(b)) with the Trustee and the replacement to such terminated Special Servicer in effecting the transfer of such terminated Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder to its successor, including the transfer within two (2) Business Days of its termination becoming effective pursuant to this Section 6.05, to the replacement to such terminated Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by such terminated Special Servicer to the REO Account maintained by it or to any Servicing Account or Reserve Account or should have been delivered to the applicable Master Servicer or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of such

terminated Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property.  No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer in connection with any termination under this Section 6.05.
 
Section 6.06     Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers.  Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its officers as are responsible for such obligations.  Upon reasonable request and as reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of the related Master Servicer and the related Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent publicly available annual audited financial statements (or, if not available, the most recent publicly available audited annual financial statements of its corporate parent) and such other information as is publicly available regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.  Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers may affix to any such information described in this Section 6.06 provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.  The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicers or the Special Servicers hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer hereunder; provided that neither a Master Servicer nor a Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee.  The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
Section 6.07     Master Servicers and Special Servicers May Own Certificates.  Any Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.  If, at any time during which any Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Affiliate of any Master Servicer or any Special Servicer is the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate, that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take any action (including for this purpose, omitting to take a particular action) that is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer (as the case may be), violate the Servicing Standard, but that, if taken, might nonetheless, in the reasonable judgment of that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer (as the case may be), be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, then that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, may (but need not) seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee) a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.07, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by an Affiliate thereof and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take.  The
 
 
-358-

 
 
Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than that Master Servicer and its Affiliates or that Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate), together with a request for approval by the Certificateholders of each such proposed action.  If at any time Certificateholders entitled to greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by that Master Servicer or its Affiliates or that Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be) shall have consented in writing (with a copy to each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) to the proposal described in the written notice, and if that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard.  The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as applicable, for the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph.  It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

(vi)           any breach on the part of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of any Class of Certificateholders or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which written notice of such breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, by any other party hereto or to such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a copy to each other party hereto, by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) or by, if affected by such breach, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder; provided that, with respect to any such breach that is not curable within such thirty (30) day period, such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have an
 
 
-360-

 
 
additional cure period of sixty (60) days to effect such cure so long as such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, has commenced to cure such breach within the initial thirty (30) day period and has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, a full cure; or
 
(vii)         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, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days; or
 
(viii)        such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
 
(ix)           such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations, or take any association or company action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
 
(x)            any of DBRS, KBRA or Moody’s (or, in the case of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, any Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) has (A) qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more Classes of Rated Certificates or any class of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable, or (B) placed one or more Classes of Rated Certificates or any class of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities on “watch status” in contemplation of possible rating downgrade or withdrawal (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement shall not have been withdrawn by DBRS, KBRA, Moody’s or such Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, as applicable, within sixty (60) days of such event), and, in case of either of clause (A) or (B), citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

(xii)          subject to the provisions of Section 11.17(c), any failure by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer to deliver (a) any Exchange Act reporting items
 
 
-361-

 
 
required to be delivered by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator or Other Depositor or Other Trustee under Article XI (other than items to be delivered by a Designated Sub-Servicer) by the time required under Article XI after any applicable grace periods or (b) any Exchange Act reporting items that a Sub-Servicing Entity retained by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as applicable (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer), is required to deliver (it being acknowledged that any Sub-Servicing Entity that defaults as described in this clause (xiv) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor).
 
When a single entity acts as two or more of the capacities of a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer, a Servicer Termination Event (other than an event described in clause (x) above) in one capacity shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event in both or all such capacities.
 
(b)           If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of either the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the applicable Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, at the written direction of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related Loan Combination, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of a Special Servicer has occurred, at the written direction of the Subordinate Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) on the part of the Affected Party has occurred, at the written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall, terminate, by notice in writing to the Affected Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of the rights and obligations (accruing from and after receipt by the Affected Party of such notice) of the Affected Party under this Agreement (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, entitlements to amounts payable to the terminated party at the time of termination and any entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination including any Excess Servicing Fee Rights).  From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice, all of the responsibilities, duties, authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement (and in the case of a termination of a Special Servicer at the written direction of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, solely as they relate to such Serviced Loan Combination), whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans or otherwise (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as a Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if applicable), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise (provided that each of a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to be obligated to
 
 
-362-

 
 
pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).  Each of a Master Servicer and a Special Servicer agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested thereby to enable the Trustee to assume the functions hereunder of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities hereunder of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, including the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by the applicable Master Servicer to the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, the Distribution Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or by the applicable Special Servicer to its REO Account, the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (provided that if such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).  Any costs or expenses (including those of any other party hereto or successor master servicer or special servicer) incurred in connection with any actions to be taken by a terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (including, but not limited to, in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor master servicer or special servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Borrowers, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor master servicer or special servicer) shall be borne by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be (and, in the case of the Trustee’s costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time, shall be borne by the Trust out of the Collection Account).
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04, the Trustee shall not waive any Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) without the prior written consent of the Depositor.  If a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xi) occurs on the part of a Master Servicer, or if any other Servicer Termination Event occurs on the part of a Master Servicer affecting a Serviced Loan Combination and such Master Servicer is not terminated pursuant to the provisions set forth above, whether as a result of a waiver or otherwise, any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to require such Master Servicer to appoint, in accordance with Section 3.22 and with the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation (and an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities backed by the affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if applicable pursuant to
 
 
-363-

 
 
Section 3.27(k)), a Sub-Servicer to be selected by the applicable Master Servicer, that will be responsible for primary servicing such Serviced Loan Combination.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, if a Master Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) and the terminated Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within the five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) obtained by the terminated Master Servicer (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the subject Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under this Agreement.  The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by such Master Servicer of a notice of termination.  The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all applicable Sub-Servicers to continue the sub-servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of any Serviced Mortgage Loans not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced, the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate (or, (i) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the sum of the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate and the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate or (ii) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate) minus the sum of one (1) basis point and the related Excess Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of terminating each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement and each applicable Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.22 and having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”).  The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing-Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder.  The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Master Servicer.
 
 
-364-

 
 
 
(d)           Upon the assignment and acceptance of the master servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).
 
(e)           If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within forty-five (45) days after the related Master Servicer received a notice of termination or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 45-day period, the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 7.01(c).  The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.
 
Section 7.02     Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor.  On and after the time a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04(a) (and a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not been appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under Section 6.04), or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to that Master Servicer or that Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, if such Master Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the applicable Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances; provided that (i) any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the failure of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, as the case may be, to cooperate or to provide information or monies as required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder and (ii) in the case of a terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall cease to act as successor Master Servicer if an alternative successor is appointed pursuant to Section 7.01(c).  Neither the Trustee nor any other successor shall be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee or any other successor be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which the resigning or terminated party would have been entitled to for future services rendered if the resigning or terminated party had continued to act hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, if it is unwilling to so act, the Trustee may (and, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as an acceptable master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of all the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) (or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the applicable Special Servicer has occurred during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative) so requests in writing, the Trustee shall), promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established and qualified institution as the successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that (i)
 
 
-365-

 
 
such appointment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency).  No appointment of a successor to a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.  In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder.  The Depositor, the Trustee, such successor and each other party hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer and if the Excess Servicing Fee Rate is a rate per annum that is greater than zero (0) basis points, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation.  If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.
 
Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders.  (a)  Upon any resignation of a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any replacement of a Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of a Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to a Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 7.02 or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly notify (i) the Certificate Administrator, who shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, (ii) the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall promptly post such information on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c) and (iii) to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.
 
(b)           Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, who shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.
 
Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Event. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) may waive such Servicer Termination Event without the consent of any other Person; provided, however that:
 
 
-366-

 
 
(a)           a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii) and clause (x) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders);
 
(b)           each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be exclusively entitled to waive a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xi) that arises with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;
 
(c)           the Depositor shall be exclusively entitled to waive any Servicer Termination Event described in Section 7.01(a)(xii) (but if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the Pari Passu Companion Loan is the subject of an Other Securitization, the Depositor may not grant such a waiver without the consent of each Other Depositor with respect to each Other Securitization);
 
(d)           no waiver of any Servicer Termination Event by one or more Persons will have any force or effect unless and until the Person requesting the waiver at its own expense has reimbursed the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any monies spent by them in connection with such Servicer Termination Event, together with interest thereon from and including the date so spent to but excluding the date of reimbursement.
 
Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if registered in the name of any other Person.
 
Section 7.05     Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Servicer Termination Event.  During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right (exercisable subject to Section 8.01(a)), in its own name and as trustee of an express trust (in the case of any matter affecting a Serviced Loan Combination) on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and such participants  (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith).  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event.

(b)           Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which is specifically governed by the terms of Article II), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement.  If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected.  The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, any actual or prospective Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or any Rating Agency, and accepted by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.
 
(c)           No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee, the Tax Administrator or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided that:
 
(i)            prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee;
 
(ii)           in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements

(vi)          subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of this Section 8.01, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall have any duty, except, in the case of the Trustee, as expressly provided in Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(e) or in its capacity as successor to a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, (A) to cause any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to cause the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to cause the maintenance of any insurance, (C) to confirm or verify the truth, accuracy or contents of any reports or certificates of a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer, any actual or prospective or any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or any Rating Agency, delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and without error and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (D) subject to Section 10.01(f), to see to the payment or discharge of any tax levied against any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account, and (E) to see to the payment of any assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to,

(vii)         for as long as the Person that serves as the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder also serves as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, the protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to that Person in its capacity as Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator, as applicable, hereunder shall also be afforded to such Person in its capacity as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, as the case may be; and
 
(viii)        if the same Person is acting in two or more of the capacities of Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Tax Administrator, Custodian or Certificate Registrar, then any notices required to be given by such Person in one such capacity shall be deemed to have been timely given to itself in any other such capacity.

-373-

 
 
to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator Fee shall accrue during each calendar month, commencing with December 2014, at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate on a principal amount equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, immediately following the Distribution Date in such calendar month (or, in the case of December 2014, on a principal amount equal to the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the particular Mortgage Loan).  The Trustee Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee accrued during each calendar month shall be payable in the next succeeding calendar month.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator Fee shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to the accrual or deemed accrual of interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be.  The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Certificate Administrator Fee (the latter of which includes the Tax Administrator Fee) shall constitute the sole compensation of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, respectively, for such services to be rendered by it.  The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the payment of the Tax Administrator Fee.
 
Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, cost or expense that is, pursuant to the prior paragraph, required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or a Collection Account, relates to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or a Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination).  Insofar as any such loss, liability, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Account or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the applicable Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, cost or expense into the Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
(b)           The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates are entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and/or the Distribution Account, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, for and against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, reasonable counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it incurs any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor to the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer (as the case may be), in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
 
 
-374-

 
 
the case may be) or any act or omission of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the rights and duties, including the appointment of a replacement Trust Advisor, of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (1) allocable overhead, such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses, employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses, (2) any cost or expense that does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (3) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (4) any loss, liability, claim or expense incurred by reason of any breach on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Tax Administrator’s obligations and duties hereunder.
 
(c)           The Master Servicers and the Special Servicers each shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity), and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of such Master Servicer’s or such Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement, including the negligent use by such Master Servicer or such Special Servicer, as the case may be, of any powers of attorney delivered to it by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Mortgage Loans serviced by the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, if the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 8.05(b) above, then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this Section 8.05(c) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.  For the purposes of this paragraph, a Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have committed negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, each Master Servicer and each Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense).
 
(d)           Each of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall indemnify each of the Trust, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers and each other (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity) and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Tax Administrator’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement; provided that if such indemnified person has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as the case may be, then the indemnity in favor of such Person otherwise
 
 
-375-

 
 
provided for in this Section 8.05(d) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.
 
(e)           The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, in the performance of such obligations or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
 
(f)           This Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer as regards rights and obligations prior to such termination, resignation or removal.

(A)           the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of such election is 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance (in order to make such determination, the General Master Servicer may, at any time, request that the NCB Master Servicer commence to periodically inform the General Master Servicer of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB, FSB Mortgage Loans and, commencing upon such request of the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer shall inform the General Master Servicer (which may be through providing the General Master Servicer access to the NCB Master Servicer’s website) of the Stated Principal Balance of the NCB, FSB Mortgage Loans on a monthly basis, or at an accelerated interval as requested by the General Master Servicer of the NCB Master Servicer);
 
(B)           within thirty (30) days after written notice of such election is so given, no Person with a higher right of priority to make such an election does so; and

If the Trust is to be terminated in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), a Master Servicer or a Special Servicer, such Person(s) shall:  (i) deposit, or deliver to the General Master Servicer for deposit, in its Collection Account (after the Determination Date, and prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the anticipated Final Distribution Date) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price; and (ii) shall reimburse all of the parties hereto (other than itself, if applicable) for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such parties in connection with such purchase.  On the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the Final Distribution Date, each Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution.  Upon confirmation that such deposits and reimbursements have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the purchasing party (or its designee) the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the purchasing party (or its designee).  If any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer (if not then NCB, FSB), the General
 
 
-392-

 
 
Special Servicer or the NCB Special Servicer (if not then NCB, FSB) makes such an election, then NCB, FSB (so long as NCB, FSB is either the NCB, FSB Master Servicer or the NCB Special Servicer) will have the option, by giving written notice to the other parties hereto no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of purchase, to purchase all of the NCB, FSB Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property remaining in the Trust, and the other party will then have the option to purchase only the remaining Mortgage Loans and each related REO Property.
 
Following the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder(s) shall have the right to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange.  If the Sole Certificateholder(s) elect(s) to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder(s), not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account of the General Master Servicer an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts then due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator and/or the Trustee hereunder (and their respective agents) that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(b), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account.  In addition, each Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b).  Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all the Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof), the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder(s) as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof).  For federal income tax purposes, such surrender and release shall be treated as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for an amount of cash equal to all amounts due in respect thereof after the distribution of amounts remaining in the Distribution Account, and a crediting of such amounts as a final distribution on all remaining REMIC I Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests, Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest.
 
(c)           Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to Certificateholders posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and mailed (x) if such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by a Master Servicer, a Special Servicer and/or any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates

and (y) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in any event specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment on the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Administrator therein designated.  The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the other parties hereto at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
 
(d)           Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that is allocable to payments on the relevant Class in accordance with Section 4.01.  Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of any Class on the Final Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.  If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate.  The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds.  No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder.  If by the second anniversary of the delivery of such second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.
 
Section 9.02     Additional Termination Requirements.  (a)  If any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), a Master Servicer, and/or a Special Servicer purchase(s), or the Sole Certificateholder(s) exchange(s) all of the Certificates for, all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01 above, the Trust and each REMIC Pool shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the purchasing party obtains at its own expense and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool:

(ii)          during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall sell or otherwise transfer all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund to the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the applicable Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s) or the Sole Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, in exchange for cash and/or Certificates in accordance with Section 9.01; and
 
(iii)         at the time of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 all remaining cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and each REMIC Pool shall terminate at that time.

(j)           Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.17(a), none of the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other compensation for services or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit any REMIC Pool to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.  At all times as may be required by the Code, each of the respective parties hereto (to the extent it is within its control) shall take necessary actions within the scope of its responsibilities as more specifically set forth in this Agreement such that it does not cause substantially all of the assets of each REMIC Pool to fail to consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
 
(k)          Within thirty (30) days after the related Startup Day, the Tax Administrator shall obtain an identification number by filing IRS Form SS-4 with the IRS for each REMIC Pool and prepare and file with the IRS, with respect to each REMIC Pool, IRS Form 8811 “Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations”.

(b)          The Tax Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
 
 
-398-

 
 
judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Tax Administrator from the assets in the Grantor Trust Pool, unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).
 
(c)          The Tax Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Tax Administrator) and timely file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust Pool.  The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.  Except as provided in Section 10.02(h), 10.02(i) and 10.02(j), the Tax Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing IRS Form 1041, indicating the name and address of the Trust and signed by the Tax Administrator but otherwise left blank, IRS Form 1099 or any other such form as may be applicable.  There shall be appended to each such form a schedule for each Certificateholder indicating such Certificateholder’s share of income and expenses of the Trust for the portion of the preceding calendar year in which such Certificateholder possessed an Ownership Interest in a Certificate.  Such form shall be prepared in sufficient detail to enable reporting on the cash or accrual method of accounting, as applicable, and to report on such Certificateholder’s fiscal year if other than the calendar year.
 
(d)          The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the Tax Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool as is in its possession and reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this Section 10.02.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten (10) days following the Tax Administrator’s request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Tax Administrator such information as is reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator for tax purposes, and the Tax Administrator’s duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this Section 10.02 shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the Tax Administrator to perform such obligations.
 
(e)          The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority, including the furnishing to Certificateholders of the schedules described in Section 10.02(c).
 
(f)           The Tax Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust Pool as Grantor Trust under the Grantor Trust Provisions (and the Trustee, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall assist the Tax Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator and to the extent of information within the Trustee’s, the Master Servicers’ or the Special Servicers’ possession or control).  None of the Tax Administrator, Master Servicers, the Special Servicers or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust Pool to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Tax Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the Tax Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated
 
 
-399-

 
 
action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event.  None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that the Tax Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act.  In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall consult with the Tax Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur.  The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund, the Tax Administrator or the Trustee.
 
(g)          If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust Pool pursuant to the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by:  (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) a Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) a Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by such Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances.  Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.
 
(h)          The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT.  The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  The Certificate Administrator shall provide such information in its possession to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  With respect to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class PEX and Class V Certificates, if the Tax Administrator receives notice that any such Certificate is held through a nominee, the Tax Administrator will treat such nominee as the “middleman” with respect to such certificate unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders.  The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis.  The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this
 
 
-400-

 
 
paragraph or that the notice received with respect to any such Certificate as described above is incorrect.
 
(i)           The Tax Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method.  The Tax Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method.  The Tax Administrator will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually.  In addition, the Tax Administrator will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
 
(j)           The Tax Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to:  (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Tax Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Tax Administrator.  Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Tax Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale.  Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Tax Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
 
(k)          To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Tax Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT.  The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will not publish any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received.  Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Tax Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP.  The Tax Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.
 
Section 10.03     The Depositor, the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers and the Trustee to Cooperate with the Tax Administrator.  (a)  The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Tax Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Tax Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and Issue Prices of the Certificates, including the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
 
(b)          Each of the Master Servicers and the Special Servicers shall furnish such reports, certifications and information in its possession, and access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties under this Article X.

(c)          The Tax Administrator shall be responsible for obtaining a tax identification number for any REMIC or Grantor Trust specified herein, and shall be responsible for the preparation of the related IRS Form W-9, if such form is requested.  The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information contained therein, and is hereby directed to execute such IRS Form W-9; provided, however, the Tax Administrator shall also be directed to execute such IRS Form W-9 (in lieu of the Trustee) if permitted by IRS regulations.

For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI.  The Master Servicers, the Special Servicers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.
 
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails, within a reasonable period of time, to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent.  However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement.  If an indemnifying
 
 
-422-

 
 
party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

No direct or indirect transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation, or other form of assignment of any ownership interest in this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made unless that transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other form of assignment (a “Transfer”) is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state, or is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such other securities laws.  If a Transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then (except in limited circumstances specified in the Agreement) the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either:  (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2A to the Agreement and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-2B to the Agreement; or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that such prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.
 
None of the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Advisor is obligated to register or qualify the Class R Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein without registration or qualification.  Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a Transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and the Trust Advisor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or the provisions described above.
 
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall be deemed by its acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of this Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator (i) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and (ii) to negotiate the terms of any mandatory disposition, to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such disposition.  Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.  In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate, the
 
 
A-2-5

 
 
Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-1 to the Agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”) from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.  Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.  In connection therewith, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to any entity classified as a partnership under the Code unless at the time of transfer, all of its beneficial owners are, and under the partnership agreements are required to be, United States Securities Persons.
 
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest herein unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.  Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
 
If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate.
 
The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following:  (a) a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
A “Permitted Transferee” is any Transferee other than a “Disqualified Organization”, a “Disqualified Non-United States Tax Person” or a “Disqualified Partnership” (each as defined in the Agreement) and other than a foreign permanent establishment or fixed
 
 
A-2-6

 
 
base (each within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty) of a United States Tax Person or any other Person as to whom the transfer of this Certificate may cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
 
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Certificate, but the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Certificate.
 
The Depositor, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the General Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer, as applicable, in its sole discretion.  The Agreement permits, but does not require, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein.  The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.
 
 
A-2-7

 
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of (i) the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and without the consent of any of the Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary and (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders materially affected by the amendment.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder.
 
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plans or other benefit plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts the assets of which are considered “plan assets” under U.S. Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, or for purposes of Similar Law, including insurance company general accounts, that are subject to ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law (each, a “Plan”), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate or any interest herein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.  The Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register the transfer of this Certificate unless it has received from the prospective Transferee a certification to the effect that such prospective Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing this Certificate.
 
If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate.

A-3-5

The Depositor, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the General Master Servicer or the NCB Master Servicer, as applicable, in its sole discretion.  The Agreement permits, but does not require, the General Master Servicer, the NCB Master Servicer, the General Special Servicer, the NCB Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein.  The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.
 
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of (i) the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to all of the Classes materially affected by the amendment and without the consent of any of the Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and, if adversely affected by the amendment, any third-party beneficiary and (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders materially affected by the amendment.  Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
 
 
A-3-6

 
 
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.  The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
 
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder.
 
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Schedule A
(To Issuer Letter of Representations)
 
SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)
 
1.           The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
 
2.           DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, 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 the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
 
3.           Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.
 
4.           To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Schedule A
(To Issuer Letter of Representations)
 
5.           Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]
 
[6.          Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
 
7.           Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
 
8.           Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
[9.           A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]
 
10.           DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
 
11.           Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
 
12.           The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

1 A “Legally Restricted Security” is a security that is a restricted security, as defined in Rule 144(a)(3). A “Contractually Restricted Security” is a security that upon issuance and continually thereafter can only be sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, Rule 144A, Rule 144, or in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4 of the Securities Act and not involving any public offering; provided, however, that once the security is sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, including Rule 144(b)(1), it will thereby cease to be a “Contractually Restricted Security.” For purposes of this definition, in order for a depositary receipt to be considered a “Legally or Contractually Restricted Security,” the underlying security must also be a “Legally or Contractually Restricted Security.”

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by __________ (the “Transferor”) to _________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates.  The Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2014 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as General Master Servicer, NCB, FSB, as NCB Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as General Special Servicer, NCB, FSB, as NCB Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Trust Advisor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Depositor, that:
 
1.           The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Certificates with the full right to transfer such Certificates free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.
 
2.           Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner or (e) taken any other action with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Transferred Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), would render the offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Transferred Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws.  The Transferor will not act,
 
 
C-2A-1

 
 
nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security.
 
3.           The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another person that is itself a Qualified Institutional Buyer.  In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):
 
 
____
(a)
The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
 
 
____
(b)
The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
 
 
____
(c)
The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
 
 
____
(d)
A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A(a)(1)(iv), a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.
 
4.           The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
 
(a)           the following instruments and interests shall be excluded:  securities of issuers that are affiliated with such entity; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by such entity, if such entity is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of such entity’s “family of investment companies”, if such entity is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;
 
(b)           the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;
 
 
C-2A-2

 
 
(c)           securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.
 
5.           The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.
 
6.           The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Trust and Trust Fund, (e) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and (f) all related matters, that the Transferee has requested.

(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 recent 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.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
 
(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary
Statement shall have the meanings
specified in Article I hereof)
 
The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class PEZ Specific Grantor Trust Assets and the proceeds of the foregoing) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (designated as the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). The Regular Certificates and the Class PEZ Regular Interests will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
 
There are also (i) 14 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (designated as the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-AB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LH Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
 
The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.
 
The parties intend that (i) the portion of the Trust Fund representing the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class PEZ Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets and the proceeds of the foregoing will be treated as assets of a grantor trust under subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of the Code and (ii) the beneficial interests in such grantor trust will be represented by the Class A-S Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class PEZ Certificates and the Excess Interest Certificates.

If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan(s). If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any other Serviced Companion Loan(s) included as part of that Serviced Loan Combination.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the related Loan Purchase Agreement as to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Outside Serviced Trust Loan), that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (2), (3) and (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Custodian. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, in which case the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded/filed original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall obtain and provide to the Custodian a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.
 
If the Custodian has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
 
 
-117-

 
 
therein, then the Custodian shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be, and record or file, or with respect to any assignments the Custodian has agreed to file as described above, to deliver to the Custodian the substitute or corrected document. The Custodian shall upon receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.
 
(d)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, except with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, the Depositor shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit (or cause to be delivered and deposited) with the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, (i) all documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (A) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans, (B) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any asset summaries related to the Mortgage Loans that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates) or any related Serviced Companion Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loans or holders of interests therein and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, together with (ii) all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loans and a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and reserve funds are allocable to each Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Companion Loans, provided that any document, record or item referred to above in clause (i) of this sentence that constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other related Mortgage Loan Seller communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations. The Master Servicer shall hold all such documents, records and funds on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, insofar as they also relate to the Serviced Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(d) shall not apply to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans. In addition, attached as Exhibit P to this Agreement is the Supplemental Servicer Schedule.
 
(e)           In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and warrants that it has delivered, to the Custodian and the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.
 
(f)           The Custodian with respect to the Serviced Loan Combination, shall also hold the related Mortgage File for the use and benefit of the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.

each Outside Serviced Trust Loan under the respective Co-Lender Agreement and/or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(h)           It is not intended that this Agreement create a partnership or a joint-stock association.
 
Section 2.02     Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.
 
(a)           The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders pursuant to Section 2.01(f) of this Agreement. With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Serviced Companion Loan in such Loan Combination in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.
 
(b)           On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 2.01(c), 2.02(c) and 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which exception report shall also be available in electronic format (including Excel-compatible format) upon request): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20)
 
 
-119-

 
 
(for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by the Custodian and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. In addition, as it relates to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, with respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” because the original of such document will not be in the Custodian’s possession since it will have been delivered to the Outside Trustee in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.
 
(c)           It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.
 
(d)          It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement.
 
 
-120-

 
 
(e)           If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).
 
Section 2.03     Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
 
(a)           If (i) any party hereto (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”) or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Certificateholders therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”, as the case may be. The Special Servicer shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the Special Servicer shall require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and, (i) in the case of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by RCMC, with simultaneous notice to RTI, as guarantor of certain of RCMC’s obligations under the RCMC Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the RTI Guaranty, and, (ii) in the case of the Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by RAIT, with simultaneous notice to RFT, as guarantor of certain of RAIT’s obligations under the RAIT Loan Purchase Agreement, pursuant to the RFT Guaranty) not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days from any party
 
 
-121-

 
 
discovering such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, provided that, if it is not the discovering party, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller receives notice thereof in a timely manner), to cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be cured within such 90 day period, either to (before the end of such 90-day period) (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within such 90 day period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach will be cured within such additional 90 day period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust

Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt.
 
If (x) a Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above (a “Defective Mortgage Loan”), (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)         the related Mortgage Loan Seller (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s repurchase or replacement of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(a) (i) will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding and (ii) will not result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code); and
 
(B)         each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Mortgage Loan Seller were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(1)      the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the lesser of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement;
 
 
-123-

 
 
(2)      the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(3)      either (x) the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group will not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group or (y) the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans have been modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement and that removes any threat of impairment of the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group as a result of the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error on the Certificateholders, other parties to this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (B)(2) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the second preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee. If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Loan Documents evidencing and securing the
 
 
-124-

 
 
relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute (pursuant to a limited power of attorney provided by the Trustee that enables the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or any of its agents or subcontractors. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph and the first, second and third preceding paragraphs, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or should not be effected as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event), any Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such Repurchase Request), and the Certificate Administrator (unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof).

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.
 
If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-GC27 Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.
 
No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Loan Purchase Agreement, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.
 
(b)           Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.
 
(c)           In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to any change of the terms of any Mortgage Loan, or Serviced Companion Loan except under the circumstances described in Sections 3.07, 3.09, 3.10 and 3.24 of this Agreement or in Section 3.03 of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans), the Serviced Companion Loans and each related REO Property in accordance with applicable law and the terms thereof and hereof and the terms of any applicable Co-Lender Agreements and intercreditor agreements and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
 
Subject to Section 3.11 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit AA-1 to this Agreement or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Exhibit AA-2 to this Agreement or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Special Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer), as applicable, and other documents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee prepared by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer and necessary or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity, unless prohibited by any requirement of the applicable jurisdiction in which any such action, suit or proceeding is brought and if so prohibited, in the manner required by such jurisdiction (provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall then provide five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or such shorter time period as is reasonably required in the judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard) prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding), and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

provided in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall apply any amounts received on “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (which shall not be redeemed by the Master Servicer prior to the maturity thereof) in respect of such a Serviced Loan being defeased pursuant to its terms to the principal balance of and interest on such Serviced Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the receipt of such amounts. If with respect to any Serviced Loan the related Loan Documents permit the lender, at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Serviced Loan, to apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or to hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account and may not apply such amounts as a prepayment until the occurrence of an event of default under the related Serviced Loan; provided that any such amounts may be used, if permitted under the related Loan Documents, to defease the related Serviced Loan or, upon an event of default under the related Serviced Loan, to prepay the Serviced Loan.
 
(c)           The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with third parties (including a party that has previously been engaged as a Subcontractor) with respect to any of its obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) any such agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (iii) the Depositor has consented to the related Sub-Servicer, (iv) any such agreement shall provide that, following receipt of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement from the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall provide a copy of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to the related Sub-Servicer, and that such Sub-Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing within five (5) Business Days after such Sub-Servicer discovers or receives notice alleging a Document Defect or a Breach or receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection; (v) the Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of any such agreement; (vi) any assignment of such Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than an assignment to the Master Servicer) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and (vii) any amendment or modification of such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Depositor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if the Master Servicer determines that, as a result of such amendment or modification, the Sub-Servicer would become a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB that (1) meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB or (2) meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB and services 20% or more of the pool assets. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c). The Master Servicer shall pay the servicing fees of any Sub-Servicer and shall provide a copy of each Sub-Servicing Agreement (and any assignment thereof) to the Trustee. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or by any successor Master Servicer without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02. The Special Servicer may not enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided that, if and to the extent Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association is terminated as Special Servicer by the Controlling
 
 
-142-

 
 
Class Representative without cause (i.e., not as a result of a Servicer Termination Event) and Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association otherwise satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers contained in this Agreement, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association may be appointed as a sub-special servicer of a successor Special Servicer appointed by the Controlling Class Representative.
 
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans and/or Serviced Loan Combinations involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) of this Agreement and no provision herein may be construed so as to require the Trust Fund to indemnify any such Sub-Servicer.
 
(d)          If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. In such event, the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.
 
In the event that the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer, upon request of the Trustee, or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall at its own expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.
 
(e)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Loan Combination is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder under the related Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to such Serviced Loan Combination to the Trust, as holder of the

With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer (if such Serviced Loan Combination is a Performing Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Loan Combination has become a Specially Serviced Loan or the related Mortgaged Property has been converted to an REO Property) shall prepare and provide to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf, all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement, and shall perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing-related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement. Furthermore, to the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Co-Lender Agreement for a Serviced Loan Combination are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the terms of such Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) at no time shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any P&I Advance on any Companion Loan and (b) if the Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to make any Property Advance on such Serviced Loan Combination. If pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer does not intend to make a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination that the Master Servicer would have made if the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property were still part of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan of its intention to no longer make such Property Advances and shall additionally promptly notify such holder of any required Property Advance it would have otherwise made upon becoming aware of the need for such Property Advance. Additionally, at the time the Mortgage Loan relating to a Serviced Loan Combination is removed from the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer of any securitization of the related Serviced Companion Loan) (i) a copy of the most recent inspection report and the inspection report for the prior calendar year, (ii) copies of all financial statements collected from the related borrower for the most recent calendar year and the prior calendar year, (iii) a copy of the most recent Appraisal and any other Appraisal done in the prior year and (iv) a copy of all tax and insurance bills for the current calendar year and the prior calendar year.

The parties further recognize the respective rights and obligations of the related Outside Trustee and/or the Outside Serviced Companion Loan Holders (or the representatives thereof) under each respective Co-Lender Agreement including with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of an Outside Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trust, in connection with the enforcement of the rights by the Trustee (as holder of the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) under each related Co-Lender Agreement and each applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (under the power of attorney granted by the Trustee) shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of each Outside Serviced Companion Loan by the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Special Servicer, including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate requests for release to the Custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage Files to the related Outside Servicer or related Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
To the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, is entitled to (i) consent to or approve any modification, waiver or amendment of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or (ii) exercise any consultation rights with respect to “Major Decisions” or “Material Actions” (as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in connection with such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or any related REO Property, then the following parties (to the extent notified by the appropriate party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement of any matter requiring the exercise of consent, approval or consultation rights) shall actually exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights, and the respective parties to this Agreement shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to allow the following parties to exercise such consent, approval or consultation rights: (i) the Controlling Class Representative (if no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing); and (ii) the Operating Advisor (if a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing).
 
In addition to such consent, approval or consultation rights, the Controlling Class Representative (if no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Operating Advisor (if a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Trust, as holder of each Outside Serviced Trust Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will have the right (exercisable in its sole discretion), to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and/or the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to attend (in-person or telephonically) annual meetings with the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for the purpose of discussing servicing issues related to such Outside Serviced Loan Combination. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing
 
 
-145-

 
 
provisions of this paragraph shall not impose any affirmative duties on the Operating Advisor with respect to the Outside Serviced Loan Combinations.
 
None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority to supervise any Outside Servicer, any Outside Special Servicer, any Outside Trustee or any other party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to make Property Advances with respect to any of the Outside Serviced Trust Loans or a Companion Loan related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan. The obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide information to the Trustee or any other Person with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans and any Outside Serviced Companion Loan related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan is dependent on their receipt of the corresponding information from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable.
 
(h)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Outside Serviced Loan Combination is subject to the terms and conditions of the respective Co-Lender Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the respective Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the related Outside Serviced Trust Loan and the related Outside Serviced Companion Loans are to be serviced and administered by the related Outside Servicer and Outside Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) in the event that the applicable Outside Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the trust fund created by the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Outside Serviced Trust Loan remains an asset of the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination shall be serviced in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of any Class of Certificates then outstanding and any other requirements applicable to the related Outside Serviced Trust Loan.
 
(i)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Outside Serviced Trust Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement.

If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, to any party under the related Co-Lender Agreement or the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. If a party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan requests the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to consent to a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Outside Serviced Trust Loan (except a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement which shall not be subject to the operation of this sentence but shall instead be subject to the operation of the second succeeding sentence), then the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Controlling Class Representative (if no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) or the Operating Advisor (if a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), and the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor (as applicable) shall exercise such right of consent; provided, however, that, if such Outside Serviced Trust Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor (as applicable) shall not exercise such right of consent without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, if applicable, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account).

If the Trustee receives a request (and, if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator receives such request, such party shall promptly forward such request to the Trustee) from any party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee (if it shall have received a prior Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (payable at the expense of the party making such request for consent or approval to the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, and otherwise from the Collection Account) with respect to such consent or approval) shall grant or withhold such consent or approval at the written direction of the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that unless a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall additionally obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative. During the continuation of any termination event with respect to the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith); provided that, at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate of all Voting Rights, the Trustee shall make a request to the related Outside Trustee for the termination of the related Outside Servicer or Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or if applicable pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a termination event involving the related Outside Servicer, the appointment of a new sub-servicer with respect to the related Outside Serviced Loan Combination.

Section 3.03     Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
 
(a)          The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Serviced Loans it is obligated to service hereunder (including Special Servicing Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only), Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only) and any other fees payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if and to the extent the related Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to pay such fees), and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of any ARD Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that, with respect to any ARD Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A(a) of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loan as are permitted or required under Section 3.21 of this Agreement.
 
(b)         If there is any ARD Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund, and if the Master Servicer receives Excess Interest directly from the related Mortgagor or through the Special Servicer, which Excess Interest was collected during the Prepayment Period for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest during the Prepayment Period for any Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator no later than two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date by means of a clearly labeled item in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.
 
 
-152-

 
 
(c)          With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Certificate Administrator, the related Outside Special Servicer, the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Operating Advisor (A) promptly following the Closing Date, written notice in the form of Exhibit FF attached hereto stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement), accompanied by a copy of an executed version of this Agreement, and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or any party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information). The Master Servicer shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that to the extent any such amounts are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such amounts.
 
(d)         With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from the related Outside Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on such Outside Serviced Trust Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Outside Servicer and the related Outside Trustee.
 
Section 3.04     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.
 
(a)          With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Serviced Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor (other than with respect to the Outside Serviced
 
 
-153-

 
 
Trust Loan) has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment (x) would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, or (y) would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
 
(b)         The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled, “Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and Various Mortgagors.” Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:
 
 
-154-

 
 
 
(i)          to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable;
 
(ii)         to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Loan Combination Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;
 
(iii)        for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;
 
(iv)        to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;
 
(v)         to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Loan Documents; and
 
(vi)        to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.
 
(c)         In the event any Loan Documents permit the lender, at the discretion of the lender, to use letters of credit and/or cash reserves to prepay the related Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of an event of default or acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in an Escrow Account for so long as the Loan Documents permit such discretion.
 
(d)         To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made; then the Master Servicer shall report the then current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Serviced Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable

Consultation Termination Event, the related Directing Holder within a reasonable time after the date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.
 
Section 3.05     Collection Account; Distribution Accounts; and Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account; and Excess Interest Distribution Account.
 
(a)         The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account in the Master Servicer’s name on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. Amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the Excess Interest) will be assets of the Lower Tier REMIC. As and when required under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Collection Account any amounts to be transferred thereto from a Loan Combination Custodial Account as contemplated by Section 3.06A(a)(i) of this Agreement, and the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement in connection with net losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within one (1) Business Day following receipt of properly identified funds, (x) all Net Liquidation Proceeds received on or with respect to a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in connection with any of the events described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Liquidation Event” in this Agreement, and (y) without duplication, the following payments and collections received or made by it on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination):

(vii)       any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including pursuant to Section 2.03 and Section 3.03(c) of this Agreement;
 
provided, however, that to the extent any amounts referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above of this Section 3.05(a) are received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof but, in any event, the Master Servicer shall deposit such amounts into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof).
 
The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and defeasance fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees received with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e. the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.

With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so

(b)        The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

With respect to each Distribution Date, on or before such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to make or shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to make the deposits into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and shall cause the amount of Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed in respect of the Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.

Upon the disposition of any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.17 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, realized in connection with such sale and remit to the Certificate Administrator such amount for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account. Amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on each Distribution Date that exceed amounts reasonably anticipated to be required to offset possible future Realized Losses, as determined by the Special Servicer, and all amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on the final Distribution Date, in each case after application in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(i) of this Agreement, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Lower-Tier Residual Interest.

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account may all be sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account; provided that each of them shall be treated as a separate account for purposes of deposits and withdrawals under this Agreement.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Fees (including investment income), or Special Servicing Compensation, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts and their respective indemnity amounts or expenses hereunder to the extent such fees, indemnity amounts and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in such Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement (and to have such amounts paid directly to third party contractors for any invoices approved by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees nor the Operating Advisor Fee shall be paid from funds on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account.

After the Determination Date, and on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Master Servicer Remittance Date, in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month and were not available for any earlier transfer to the Collection Account in such calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit for deposit in the Collection Account all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to the Trust pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan), including any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount; and on the Business Day immediately following the Determination Date in each calendar month (and also on the Business Day immediately following the receipt of any funds from the REO Account for any REO Property related to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, if such funds are received after the Determination Date and before the Distribution Date in any calendar month), the Master Servicer shall remit to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder all amounts on deposit in a Loan Combination Custodial Account payable to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan (or any successor REO Companion Loan), exclusive of any applicable Trust Reimbursement Amount, in each case, prior to the required remittance from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on such Master Servicer Remittance Date.
 
Section 3.07     Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO Account, the Mortgagor Accounts, and Other Accounts.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer, or with respect to any REO Account, the Special Servicer, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any Mortgagor Account (subject to the second succeeding sentence), or any REO Account (each of the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account and any Mortgagor Account, for purposes of this Section 3.07, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Reserve Account, Escrow Account or Lock-Box Account (the “Mortgagor Accounts”), the Master Servicer shall act upon the written request of the related Mortgagor or Manager to the extent the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or related documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Mortgagor or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Certificate Administrator (on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders) or in the name
 
 
-171-

 
 
of a nominee of the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any REO Accounts) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Certificate Administrator or its nominee. The Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Master Servicer, any Mortgagor or any property manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts), shall: (x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account. Amounts on deposit in each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (each, a “Certificate Administrator Account”) shall remain uninvested.
 
(b)         All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer, except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Mortgagor Account to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law to be for the benefit of the related Mortgagor or (ii) any REO Account, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer, and if held in the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or an REO Account, shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06, Section 3.06A or Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment immediately upon realization of such loss (except with respect to losses incurred as a result of the related Mortgagor or Manager exercising its power under the related Loan Documents to direct such investment in such Mortgagor Account); provided, however, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) or applicable law.
 
 
-172-

 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, respectively) shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person maintaining such account hereunder and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is 30 days prior to the insolvency.
 
(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.
 
Section 3.08     Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
 
(a)           The Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee of record has an insurable interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), (i) fire and hazard insurance (and windstorm insurance, if applicable) with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance provisions and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer and provided such policy shall include a “replacement cost” rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such longer period or with such extended period endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other Loan Document) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) no less insurance coverage than was
 
 
-173-

 
 
previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Loan Combination Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the related Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property and other than with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Serviced Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Serviced Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to the Outside
 
 
-174-

 
 
Serviced Trust Loan) (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Serviced Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to REO Properties) agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, claims under each related insurance policy maintained by it pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. All insurance policies required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall name the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee, as loss payee, and shall be issued by Qualified Insurers, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property and the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any REO Property, in each case unless such insurance is required to be maintained under the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy required under the related Loan Documents if the originator of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination waived compliance with such insurance requirements (and if the applicable Master Servicer does not cause the Mortgagor to maintain or does not itself maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust’s expense, earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates); (B) with respect to the Master Servicer’s obligation to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Mortgagor to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; and (C) in making determinations as to the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely, at its own expense, on insurance consultants in making such determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, need not be made more frequently than annually but in any event shall be made at the approximate date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.
 
 
-175-

 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.
 
(b)           (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties and other than Mortgaged Properties that secure the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Serviced Loan Combination (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Loan Documents to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties (other than REO Properties acquired in respect of the Outside Serviced Trust Loan), as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.
 
(ii)          If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property and other than any Mortgaged Property that secures an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property (other than an REO Property acquired in respect of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and
 
 
-176-

 
 
provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Loan Combination Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.
 
(iii)         In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.
 
(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each maintain a fidelity bond in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A(low)” as rated by DBRS and “A3” as rated by Moody’s, respectively, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may self-insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage otherwise required above. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every Sub-Servicer for it to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of such Sub-Servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All
 
 
-177-

 
 
fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.
 
Section 3.09     Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.
 
(a)           Upon receipt of any request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Performing Serviced Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, shall (i) promptly analyze such request, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis, and (ii) close the related transaction, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer (in the case of Performing Serviced Loans) and the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the related Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a) and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.29; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to all Performing Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer or, in the case of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following its receipt of a request of a waiver or consent in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied within 15 Business Days (or such other time as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions or granting of consent would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required in the preceding sentence) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any determination to grant a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that,
 
 
-178-

 
 
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required to be delivered if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is granting consent to an assumption pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents and there is no material waiver of any conditions or any other provisions of the related Loan Documents with respect thereto. With respect to all Serviced Mortgage Loans and each Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to a proposed action of the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.09, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of the related Directing Holder (unless an applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the related Directing Holder of the written recommendation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such action and any additional information the related Directing Holder may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the related Directing Holder and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 2% of the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). Further, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive the rights of the lender or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” provision unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination) (A) represents less than 5% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans (considering any Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan) in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). For the purposes of this Agreement, due-on-sale provisions shall include, without limitation, sale or transfers of Mortgaged Properties, in full or in part, or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in any Mortgagor or its owner, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents, and due-on-encumbrance provisions shall include, without limitation, any mezzanine/subordinate financing of any Mortgagor or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Mortgagor or its owners, to the extent prohibited under the related Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement) and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement, and shall also deliver an original to the Trustee or the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such assumption or substitution within 15 Business Days following the execution and receipt thereof by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.
 
In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13 of this Agreement.
 
Further, subject to the terms of the related Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).
 
To the extent not prohibited by the applicable Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)         Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
 
(c)         In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

(d)         With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) or Serviced Loan Combination which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Loan Documents:
 
(i)          In the event such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by RAIT that are subject to defeasance, RAIT has transferred to a third party or has retained the right to establish or designate the successor borrower (“Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to RAIT or RAIT’s assignee in the case of the Mortgage Loans for which RAIT is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as RAIT provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which it is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to RAIT Funding, LLC, 2929 Arch Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Jamie Reyle, Senior Vice President – Chief Legal Officer, fax number: (215) 405-2945, e-mail: jreyle@raitft.com, with a copy to RAIT Funding, LLC, 2929 Arch Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104, Attention: Scott Davidson, fax number: (215) 405-2945, e-mail: sdavidson@raitft.com.
 
(ii)         The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other
 
 
-181-

 
 
certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.
 
(iii)         The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.
 
(iv)        To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate to such Rating Agency substantially in the form of Exhibit DD to this Agreement for any Mortgage Loan that, at the time of such defeasance, is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.
 
(v)         If the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).
 
(vi)        To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under the terms of the Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
 
(vii)       In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents).
 
 
-182-

 
 
(viii)      The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Loan Documents; provided, that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).
 
(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.09, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Performing Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose and may consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to such easement, right of way or similar agreement; provided that in each case, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (i) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (ii) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (ii) above.
 
Section 3.10     Appraisal Reductions; Realization Upon Defaulted Loans.
 
(a)          Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event with respect to a Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal, the costs of which shall be advanced by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.
 
The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of applicable Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event) as of any date of determination to the extent of the
 
 
-183-

 
 
Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Amounts of the following Classes of Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in the following order of priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts (provided in each case that no Certificate Principal Amount in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event or a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.
 
The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and Master Servicer of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount on the Certificate Administrator’s website.
 
Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination shall be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (up to the outstanding principal balance thereof), and then, to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.
 
The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates whose Certificate Principal Amount is notionally reduced to less than 25% of the initial Certificate Principal Amount of that Class as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.
 
 
-184-

 
 
An Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the determination of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120-day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised-Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the Class of Control Eligible Certificates immediately senior to such Appraised-Out Class, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.
 
In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Serviced Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its appraised value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on such appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.
 
Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
 
Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the
 
 
-185-

 
 
Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.
 
(b)           In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.
 
Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) the related Directing Holder.
 
In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than any Mortgaged Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:
 
(i)           such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or
 
(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the
 
 
-186-

 
 
holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
 
(e)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:
 
(i)           such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and
 
(ii)         there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust
 
 
-187-

 
 
Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation.
 
In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.
 
In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.
 
(f)          The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property). The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Certificateholder of any Regular Certificates and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.
 
(g)          If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) of this Agreement that the
 
 
-188-

 
 
circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present, but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan), to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.
 
(h)           The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, if affected, to any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.
 
Section 3.11     Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.
 
From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been
 
 
-189-

 
 
so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
 
Within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage or other security agreement, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

(a)           In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, such Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator

and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of either Trust REMIC, or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interests or Regular Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is not denied) the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its receiving the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.
 
(b)           The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination,
 
 
-201-

 
 
taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan)) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27, [IN THE CASE OF AN REO PROPERTY RELATED TO A SERVICED LOAN COMBINATION: and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear], REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt all revenues and proceeds received by it with respect to any REO Property, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:
 
(i)           all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;
 
(ii)          all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
 
(iii)         all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and
 
(iv)         any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.
 
To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith business judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement
 
 
-202-

 
 
of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, or, for a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property during the related Prepayment Period, except that in determining the amount of any such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:
 
(i)            permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(ii)           permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease, other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
 
(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination became imminent, all within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(4)(B); or
 
(iv)          Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;
 
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if any related Serviced Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
 
The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property
 
 
-203-

 
 
to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:
 
(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;
 
(ii)           any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
 
(iii)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
 
(iv)         the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
 
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
 
(c)           When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer or special servicer for the related Other Securitization Trust on its behalf) a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.16(a) and Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan.
 
Section 3.17     Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties; Sale of Outside Serviced Trust Loans.
 
(a)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage
 
 
-204-

 
 
Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.28 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan or subordinate mortgage loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.
 
(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (in any event, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Loan. Any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.
 
(c)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.
 
(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In all cases under this Agreement, in determining whether any offer received from an
 
 
-205-

 
 
Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to a Defaulted Loan and (ii) the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on such Defaulted Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to Interested Parties, the requirements of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 3.17(d) must be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(d) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for the subject Defaulted Loan, 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 five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to such Defaulted Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted 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 costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.
 
(e)           Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f), Section 3.17(g) and Section 3.17(m), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating
 
 
-206-

 
 
Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
 
(f)           Subject to (x) the rights of a holder of a mezzanine loan, under the respective intercreditor agreement, and (y) the rights of a Subordinate Companion Loan Holder, under the respective Co-Lender Agreement, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or senior portion thereof), unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.
 
(g)           Any sale of a Defaulted Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Defaulted Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 or any Outside Serviced Trust Loan sold in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Defaulted Loan the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Defaulted Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.
 
(h)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.
 
(i)            The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property sold hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation
 
 
-207-

 
 
Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, as applicable) and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any REO Property hereunder.
 
(j)            The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the related Directing Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event with respect to the related Mortgage Loan) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) hereunder. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.
 
(k)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) for purposes of Section 3.17(i) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) 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 REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to such REO Property and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the occupancy level and physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of such REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The Purchase Price for any such REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to Interested Parties, the requirements of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 3.17(k) must be satisfied.

(l)            Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(k) and Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Loan Combination Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
 
(m)          Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event exists or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is involved) or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is involved and a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event does not exist)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Loan Combination, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).
 
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for an REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the related Directing Holder (unless an applicable Consultation Termination Event exists)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)

(as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of an REO Property that corresponds to a Serviced Loan Combination, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan)) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).

(o)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which, if the identified party is the holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, shall mean the Controlling Class Certificateholder for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to purchase an Outside Serviced Trust Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Outside Serviced Trust Loan or the related Companion Loan(s) or any other Mortgage Loan.

With respect to each Serviced AB Loan Combination, if such Serviced AB Loan Combination becomes a Defaulted Serviced Loan Combination, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer shall be permitted to sell the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan together with such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as one whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, provided that the Special Servicer has received prior written consent from the holder of such Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.
 
(r)           With respect to any Outside Serviced Trust Loan upon becoming a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or any analogous term is defined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and with respect to any REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the liquidation of such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or such REO Property shall be administered by the related Outside Special Servicer

(a)           The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Serviced Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000, in each case commencing in 2016; provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (excluding an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.
 
(c)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder a written report, prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Serviced Companion Loan related thereto.
 
 
-212-

 
 
(d)           The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise any rights granted under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust (or a party on its behalf) as the holder of each Outside Serviced Trust Loan to obtain information from the related Outside Servicer (or other similar parties with an obligation to make advances) in connection with making nonrecoverability determinations. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any related Outside Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the related Outside Servicer reasonably requests in order to determine whether an advance similar to a P&I Advance would be “nonrecoverable.”
 
(e)           If required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Serviced Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Serviced Companion Loan.
 
Section 3.19     Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts.
 
Except with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, the Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Loan Documents.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.
 
Section 3.20     Property Advances.
 
(a)           Except with respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of emergency advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer to the Master
 
 
-213-

 
 
Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Although the Special Servicer may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that any Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 3.20. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.
 
For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so provide.
 
(b)           The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five (5) Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 11.04 of this Agreement.
 
 
-214-

 
 
(c)           Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Property Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance or a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is or would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to (1) the affected Serviced Companion Loan Holders or their Companion Loan Holder representatives (and the related subsequent master servicer and special servicer, if applicable), in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, (2) the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), (3) the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event), (4) in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event), (5) the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), (6) the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), and (7) the Depositor (if the Trustee is making the determination), setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a Property Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:
 
(A)       any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;
 
 
-215-

 
 
(B)        any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes;
 
(C)        the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) and, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance);
 
(D)        the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;
 
(E)        any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to the non-recoverability of Property Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; and
 
(F)        notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any Property Advance would be recoverable.
 
(d)           The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06A(a)(ii) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the
 
 
-216-

 
 
Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Property Advance is required to be made under this Agreement with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan), the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer make such Property Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such Property Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Property Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to determine that such Property Advance does not constitute or would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Property Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Advances made thereby.

If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any applicable Control Termination Event, the related Directing Holder disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event), the Certificate Administrator, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval.

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. In any event, for so long as an applicable Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the related Directing Holder does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the related Directing Holder, provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, to contact the related Directing Holder. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult on a non-binding basis with the related Directing Holder in connection with each related Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the related Directing Holder shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from (a) the Operating Advisor or (b) the related Directing Holder, as applicable, and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the related Directing Holder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b).
 
(c)           Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.
 
(d)           Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan.
 
(e)           Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each related Final Asset Status Report.
 
(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, any Companion Loan Holder Representative or the related Directing Holder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with

Following such notice, the related Directing Holder shall have 10 Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) from the date it receives from the Special Servicer the recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and any other information it may reasonably request (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to approve any recommendation of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer relating to any request for approval. In any such event, if the related Directing Holder does not respond to a request for approval by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 20th day, as applicable, after receipt of the applicable recommendation and analysis and other requested information as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may deem its recommendation approved by the related Directing Holder, and if the Special Servicer does not respond to a request for approval within the required 15 Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer time period if required by the related Co-Lender Agreement) or 60 days, as applicable, the Master Servicer may deem its recommendation approved by the Special Servicer.

(F)        approving consents with respect to non-material rights-of-way and non-material easements and consent to subordination of the related Serviced Loan to such non-material rights-of-way or easements; provided, that the Master Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such right-of-way or easement does not materially interfere with the then-current use of the related Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage and will not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property;
 
(G)        granting waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial covenants);

(g)           Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:
 
(i)            extend the Maturity Date of a Serviced Loan beyond a date that is 3 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or

condemnation, if the related Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) 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 Serviced Mortgage Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. In connection with approving any such release or taking, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall calculate the loan-to-value ratio in a manner consistent with the prior sentence, and if such calculation is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will require a payment of principal in an amount equal to or greater than a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.
 
(i)           If and to the extent that the Trust, as holder of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, is entitled to exercise any consent and/or consultation rights with respect to modifications, waivers and amendments or certain other major decisions under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative or, following a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, in accordance with Section 3.01(i). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to forward any requests received from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, for such consent and/or consultation to the Controlling Class Representative or, following a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, to the Operating Advisor, and shall have no right or obligation to exercise any such consent or consultation rights.
 
Section 3.25     Additional Obligations With Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.
 
(a)           With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than an Outside Serviced Trust Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, in connection with any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

Section 3.26     Certain Matters Relating to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans.
 
With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, in the event that any of the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer shall
 
 
-228-

 
 
be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the related Outside Trustee, the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as the case may be, in each case with reasonable promptness following request therefor by a party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Section 3.27     Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.
 
(a)           Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (or, in the case of a Property Advance with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) unless a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event (or, if applicable, a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event) has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Controlling Class Representative or (if applicable, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) must be consulted with unless a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event (or, if applicable, a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event) has occurred and is continuing. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Prepayment Period; provided, however, if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month Prepayment Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s or
 
 
-229-

 
 
the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer or the Trustee any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on the other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Prepayment Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to refrain or not to refrain from reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.
 
(b)           If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Advance unless the Trustee determines such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.28     Serviced Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.
 
(a)           If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.17 or Section 9.01 of this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan that relates to a Serviced Loan Combination is purchased from, repurchased from or substituted out of, the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan under such Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the related Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Note) on behalf of the holder of the Note that represents the Serviced Companion Loan.

-244-

 
 
Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates, pro rata, based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts, in reduction of their respective Certificate Principal Amounts (and the schedule for the Class A-AB principal distributions shall be disregarded). Any remaining Available Funds will then be allocated as provided in priorities (iii) through (xxviii) above.
 
All distributions of interest made in respect of a Class of the Class X Certificates on any Distribution Date pursuant to clause (b)(i) above or Section 4.01(d), shall be deemed to have been made in respect of all the Components of such Class, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest that would be payable on such Components on such Distribution Date based on one-twelfth of the Class X Strip Rate of such Component multiplied by its respective Component Notional Amount, reduced by its share of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date, together with any amounts thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.
 
(c)            (i) On any Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date (or, in the case of any Outside Serviced Trust Loan(s), received hereunder as of the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date) and on deposit in the Collection Account as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer Remittance Date will be distributed to the Holders of the respective Classes of Certificates (excluding the Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class S and Class R Certificates) as follows: (A) first such Yield Maintenance charge shall be allocated between (x) the group (the “YM Group A”) of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class X-A Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class A-S and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class A-S Regular Interest) and (y) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of the Class X-B Certificates, the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class B and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class B Regular Interest), the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly the Class C and Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the Class C Regular Interest) and the Class D Certificates, pro rata based on the aggregate amount of principal distributed with respect to the Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and Class PEZ Regular Interests in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (B) then the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to each YM Group shall be further allocated as among the Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in such YM Group, in the following manner: (1) each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and each Class PEZ Regular Interest in such YM Group shall entitle the applicable Certificateholders to receive on the applicable Distribution Date, on a pro rata basis according to entitlements, that portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount distributed as principal to such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and Class PEZ Regular Interests in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest and (z) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group, and
 
 
-245-

 
 
(2) any Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Prepayment Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group.
 
On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class A-S Percentage Interest and Class A-S-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class B Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class B Percentage Interest and Class B-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively. On each Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charges distributed in respect of the Class C Regular Interest shall be further allocated between and distributed on the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C (and correspondingly on the Class PEZ Certificates), pro rata in proportion to the Class C Percentage Interest and Class C-PEZ Percentage Interest, respectively.
 
After the Distribution Date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount and the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class D Certificates and the Class PEZ Regular Interests have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates.
 
(ii)           Any Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to the Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interests on any Distribution Date shall be deemed distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests then receiving a principal distribution, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of those principal distributions.
 
(d)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts in the following priority:
 
(i)            first, to the Holders of the Regular Certificates and to the Exchangeable Distribution Account with respect to the Class PEZ Regular Interests (in the same order as distributions are made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement) up to an amount equal to all amounts remaining due and payable on the Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests, and any Realized Loss allocable to such Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interests, after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date; and
 
(ii)           second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.05(c) of this Agreement.
 
Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall first be deemed to have been
 
 
-246-

 
 
distributed to reimburse the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of any Realized Losses or other shortfalls allocated to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated thereto and payment of other amounts due thereon.
 
(e)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of principal or in reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses made in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii), the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced as a result of Realized Losses to equal the Certificate Principal Amount of its Corresponding Certificates that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.
 
(f)            The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and each Class PEZ Regular Interest will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) allocated to such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests in the following order, until the Certificate Principal Amount of each such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest is reduced to zero: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); seventh, to the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); eighth, to the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein); and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates, (v) Class A-5 Certificates and (vi) Class A-AB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any amounts recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as Realized Losses will be distributed to the Classes of Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests to which Realized Losses have been allocated in order of their seniority and shall be deemed to be distributed to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests (and any amounts so distributed on any Class PEZ Regular Interest shall be deemed to be distributed on the Class of Class A-S, Class B or Class C Certificates corresponding to that Class PEZ Regular Interest and the corresponding Class PEZ Component of the Class PEZ Certificates, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in such Class PEZ Regular Interest). 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 Principal Amount of the Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO
 
 
-247-

 
 
Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Prepayment Period during which the recovery occurred) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Principal Amount(s) of the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) and/or the Class PEZ Regular Interest(s) that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of the unallocated portion of such recovery and the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for such Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest had never been written down (and, to the extent that the Certificate Principal Amount of, and any interest payable on, any Class of Regular Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest). If the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) or Class PEZ Regular Interest (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Certificates or Class PEZ Regular Interest (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be) shall be decreased by such amount.
 
 
The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-AB Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-E Certificates and their respective Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class E Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-F Certificates and each of their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class F and Class G Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-H Certificates and their respective Component will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class H Certificates and of the Lower Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower Tier Regular Interest resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.
 
(g)           All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses, to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other
 
 
-248-

 
 
than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.
 
(h)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:
 
(i)            the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and
 
(ii)           if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;
 
provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.
 
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts
 
 
-249-

 
 
distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.
 
(i)             [Reserved].
 
(j)            The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Component A-S, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), the Class B Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class B Certificates and the Class PEZ Component B, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein) and the Class C Regular Interest (and correspondingly, the Class C Certificates and the Class PEZ Component C, pro rata based on their respective percentage interests therein), pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates and Class PEZ Regular Interests for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Regular Certificates, any Class PEZ Regular Interest or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class of Regular Certificates, Class PEZ Regular Interest or Component, as applicable.
 
(k)           Amounts distributed on the Class PEZ Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and Section 4.01(d) shall be further distributed from the Exchangeable Distribution Account to the Holders of the Exchangeable Certificates as set forth below:
 
(i)            On each Distribution Date, simultaneously with the distributions made on the Class A-S Regular Interest under Section 4.01(b), the aggregate amount so distributed on the Class A-S Regular Interest on such Distribution Date shall be further distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of the Class A-S Certificates and the Class PEZ Certificates in the following amounts and in the following order of priority:

The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and provide the Master Servicer with the information in the possession of the Special Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, in writing, to the extent required to allow the Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties (other than an REO Property related to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan).
 
The Master Servicer may make available to Privileged Persons copies of any reports or files prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Master Servicer may make information concerning the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination available on any website that it has established.
 
With respect to an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver information comparable to the above-described information to the extent received from the related Outside Servicer or the related Outside Special Servicer, as applicable, to the same Persons as described above in this Section 4.02(c) and according to the same time frames as described above in this Section 4.02(c), with reasonable promptness following such Master Servicer’s receipt of such information from the related Outside Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(d)           The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and pay the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC® in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(vi) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.
 
Section 4.03     Compliance With Withholding Requirements.
 
(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.
 
(b)           Each Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation,
 
 
-265-

 
 
payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For these purposes, “FATCA” means Section 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof (including any revenue ruling, revenue procedure, notice or similar guidance issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service thereunder as a precondition to relief or exemption from taxes under such Sections, regulations and interpretations), any agreements entered into pursuant to Code Section 1471(b)(1), and including any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.04     REMIC Compliance.
 
(a)           The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2015, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Excess Interest Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator
 
 
-266-

 
 
shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
 
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.
 
The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of a Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on a Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).
 
Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject a Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow a Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to
 
 
-267-

 
 
violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest, the Class C Regular Interest and the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.
 
(b)           The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Class B Regular Interest and the Class C Regular Interest: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.05     Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on a Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable with respect to the Regular Certificates, the Class PEZ Regular Interests and the Class R Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by a Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the
 
 
-268-

 
 
net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to a Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class PEZ Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on a Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or Section 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.
 
Section 4.06     Remittances; P&I Advances.
 
(a)           On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:
 
(i)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer in the Prepayment Period relating to such Distribution Date (or, in the case of an Outside Serviced Trust Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator);
 
(ii)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Available Funds applicable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the amounts referred to in clause (iv) below and clause (d) of the definition of “Available Funds”);
 
(iii)           remit to CREFC® the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;
 
 
-269-

 
 
(iv)          make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Loan Combination, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Determination Date (without regard to any grace period) in the same month as such Master Servicer Remittance Date), except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®; and
 
(v)           remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(ix) of this Agreement.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges, or delinquent Monthly Payments on the Companion Loans. The amount required to be advanced in respect of delinquent payments of interest on any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists will equal the product of (i) the amount otherwise required to be advanced by the Master Servicer with respect to delinquent payments of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period, reduced by such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not affect the principal portion of any P&I Advances.
 
Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate). The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advance.
 
The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required
 
 
-270-

 
 
to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In connection with a determination by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee as to whether a P&I Advance previously made or to be made constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance:
 
(A)        any such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries;
 
(B)        any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes;
 
(C)        the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any outstanding P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event) notice of such determination, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee;
 
(D)        although the Special Servicer may determine whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to (i) make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance previously made or to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable or (ii) reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that this sentence will not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a P&I
 
 
-271-

 
 
Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) would be, or a previously made Advance is, a Nonrecoverable Advance, as described in this Section 4.06;
 
(E)         any non-recoverability determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to the recoverability of P&I Advances shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee;
 
(F)         the Master Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made by the Master Servicer on or prior to such date;
 
(G)        the Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance;
 
(H)        the Special Servicer shall report, promptly upon making a determination contemplated in this paragraph, to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any P&I Advance made with respect to any previous Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to a future Distribution Date with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination; and
 
(I)          notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable (unless a non-recoverability determination has been made by the other servicer in accordance with clause (E) above which is binding on the Trustee), and the Master Servicer may conclusively rely upon any determination by the Special Servicer that any P&I Advance would be recoverable.
 
The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.
 
 
-272-

 
 
With respect to P&I Advances and each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the “appraisal reduction amount” calculated by the related Outside Special Servicer or the related Outside Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(b)           The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event), the holder of any related Pari Passu Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (in the case of a Pari Passu Loan Combination), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed P&I Advances.
 
(c)           With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if (1) the related Outside Servicer has determined that a proposed debt service advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan or a related Outside Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be, or any outstanding debt service advance previously made with respect to such Outside Serviced Companion Loan is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” and the related Outside Servicer has provided written notice of such determination to the Master Servicer, or (2) if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that a P&I Advance with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loan related to such related Outside Serviced Companion Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any additional P&I Advance with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has consulted with the related Outside Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loans have changed such that a proposed future debt service advance would not be a “nonrecoverable advance.” With respect to each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, if the Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such mortgage loan would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the
 
 
-273-

 
 
related Outside Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days after such determination was made.
 
In connection with each Outside Serviced Trust Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Outside Serviced Trust Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Outside Serviced Companion Loan.
 
(d)           If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Serviced Companion Loan.
 
Section 4.07     Grantor Trust Reporting.
 
(a)           The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.
 
(b)           The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Exchangeable Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the respective Classes of the Grantor Trust Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Class A-S Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class B Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class C Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Class PEZ Specific Grantor Trust Assets, the Excess Interest Grantor Trust Assets and proceeds thereof, respectively, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.
 
(c)           (i) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates, the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to
 
 
-274-

 
 
the contrary or the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations in the event that the IRS makes a determination that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.
 
(ii)           The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s Website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
 
(iii)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.       
 
(d)           To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the CUSIP Numbers for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIP Number so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP Numbers.

Each Class of Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-22 respectively, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Registrar, be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Public Certificates (other than the Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. However, in connection with an exchange of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates for Class PEZ Certificates and vice versa, each of the Class A-S, Class B, and Class C Certificates exchanged (whether surrendered or received) in such exchange shall be in denominations of at least $10,000 initial Certificate Principal Amount, and the Class PEZ Certificates exchanged shall equal the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates being exchanged therefor (i.e. in excess of $30,000 initial Certificate Principal Amount). The Private Certificates (other than the Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class S and Class R Certificates) shall be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-H Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred only in minimum denominations of authorized initial notional amounts of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. If the initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Certificates (exclusive of the Class S and Class R Certificates) does not equal an integral multiple of $1, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the initial Certificate Principal Amount or initial Notional Amount, as
 
 
-276-

The Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof. The Class S Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class S Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.
 
(b)           One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Administrator by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Administrator countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Administrator (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.
 
Section 5.02     Form and Registration.
 
(a)           Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.
 
(b)           Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.
 
(c)           No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then:
 
(i)            The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S
 
 
-277-

 
 
under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.
 
On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.
 
(ii)           The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.
 
(iii)          The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the Class S Certificates and the Class R Certificates (collectively,
 
 
-278-

 
 
the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.
 
(d)           Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global 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; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.
 
(e)           If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Principal Amount of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Principal Amount of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Amount of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.
 
(e)           Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate.

The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate.

Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.
 
(l)          All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.
 
(m)         No Class S Certificate or Class R Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be (i) an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (each, a “Plan”), or (ii) any entity or collective investment fund the assets of which are considered Plan assets under U.S. Department of Labor Reg.

responsibility or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (“Similar Law”), or to any Person acting on behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan to acquire such Certificate or interest therein unless, in the case of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, its acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate or an interest therein would not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Except in connection with the transfer thereof by an Initial Purchaser or the Depositor, each prospective transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, a Class S Certificate or a Class R Certificate in Non-Book Entry Certificate form shall deliver to the transferor, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee representation letters, substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3 and Exhibit L-4 to this Agreement. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than a Class S or Class R Certificate) or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or Plan Investor, (ii) in the case of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate, it has acquired and is holding the Certificates in reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter Exemption, including that the Certificates must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a rating agency that meets the requirements of the Underwriter Exemption and that such Certificate is so rated and that it is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.
 
(n)           Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:
 
(i)            Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(a)           Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may assign its respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor: (i) the successor accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance entity, bank or other entity regularly engaged in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, an Eligible Operating Advisor), organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or the United States, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of mortgage loans or of an operating advisor, as applicable, or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, under the related Co-Lender Agreement, and (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which 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 Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation; (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iv) the rate at which the Operating Advisor Fee, the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; (v) for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the Controlling Class Representative (and, if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is affected and no Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the successor Special Servicer is acceptable to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder); and (vi) the resigning Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, hereunder.
 
(b)           Except as provided in this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice of resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as though the
 
 
-296-

 
 
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating Advisor’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereunder, without payment of any penalty, and no replacement Operating Advisor shall be required to be appointed in connection with, or as a condition to, such resignation.
 
Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee (solely with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s, as applicable, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be treated as a shortfall resulting in Realized Losses; provided that, for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable.
 
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.
 
Section 6.05     Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement. Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or
 
 
-297-

 
 
those of its public parent. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and no such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.
 
Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.
 
Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.
 
Section 6.06     Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special
 
 
-298-

The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.
 
Section 6.07     Rating Agency Fees. The Depositor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the annual fees of each Rating Agency including, but not limited to, surveillance fees.

Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation (pursuant to Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall appoint a successor Special Servicer with respect to the Serviced Loans (exclusive of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer and (iii) in the case of the appointment of a successor

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer (with respect to all of the Serviced Loans other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) with a proposed successor Special Servicer, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loans, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loans all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this paragraph shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.
 
The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s

(b)           At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event (in the case of the Serviced Loans other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event (in the case of the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination), if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a replacement special servicer with respect to (i) the Serviced Loans other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination or (ii) the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination, as applicable, meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed the then-current Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith. In any such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post a copy of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail send notice of such recommendation to all Certificateholders, asking them to vote whether they wish to remove the Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s). Upon (i) the written direction (as evidenced by votes cast) of Holders of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component with the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose) within 180 days of the initial request for a vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders) and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (x) terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12, Section 6.03 and Section 6.08(g) of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), (y) appoint the recommended successor Special Servicer and (z) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation and administering such vote shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. If the Certificate Administrator does not receive the required written direction contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence within 180 days of the initial request for such vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the date on the which the aforementioned notice was mailed to the Certificateholders), then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall lapse and have no force or effect. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s), and to act as the

Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative, the Certificateholders or the Serviced Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

-303-

 
 
respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) that are Performing Serviced Loan(s), as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.09(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.09(a), both (a) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision; provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Master Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision and (b) for so long as no applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the related Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the related Directing Holder will be deemed to have approved such action; provided further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the related Directing Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, with respect to a Serviced AB Loan Combination, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the related Directing Holder for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the related Directing Holder (until the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the related Directing Holder and the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the related Directing Holder would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such applicable Control Termination Event. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Serviced AB Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining any consent or deemed consent of the related Directing Holder for “Major Decisions” (as such term is defined in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to the extent
 
 
-304-

 
 
such consent is required under this Agreement or under the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement.
 
In addition, for so long as no applicable Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, each of (x) the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to each Serviced Loan other than the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination and, in the case of any Serviced AB Loan Combination, after the occurrence of an applicable Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event) and (y) the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder (with respect to the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination) may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s) as such party may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any related Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement, any intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.
 
In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by a Directing Holder or any advice from a Directing Holder would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan Documents, any related Co-Lender Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify in writing such Directing Holder, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of a Directing Holder that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

(iii)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event or a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative or the Boca Hampton Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder, as applicable, shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Holder;
 
(iv)          after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event, no Class of Certificates shall be the Controlling Class; and
 
(v)           in the case of an AB Loan Combination, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an applicable Subordinate Companion Loan Control Termination Event, (x) any consent and/or consultation rights of the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder with respect to the related AB Loan Combination will terminate and (y) so long as a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to exercise the rights of the Directing Holder with respect to the related Serviced AB Loan Combination.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from a Serviced Companion Loan Holder that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of the related Serviced Loan Combination, the related Co-Lender Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders or the Servicing Standard.
 
(d)           Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the
 
 
-307-

 
 
Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under Section 3.29(d)(ii) of this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party, and each of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the information so provided by the Certificate Administrator.
 
In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or one of its affiliates or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether such entity is the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Principal Amount. If at any time the current Holder of the Controlling Class (or its designee) or one of its Affiliates, or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event and a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives either such notice.
 
Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.
 
(e)           Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Principal Amount, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.
 
(f)            If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners
 
 
-308-

 
 
(through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Beneficial Owner from time to time.
 
(g)           Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative.
 
(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time when the Class E Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective, and a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event and a Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue, with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as either (x) the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates or (y) the Opting-Out Party has (i) sold a majority of the Class E Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect voting rights with respect to the Class E Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class E Certificates (such sale and certification, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Class E Transfer, or if the Class E Certificates are no longer the Controlling Class of Certificates, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class of Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) shall again have the rights of a Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph shall have any consent rights with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class E Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such Class E Transfer until such time as such Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action (and such qualification, downgrade, withdrawal or “watch status” placement has not been withdrawn by such Rating Agency (or, in the case of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency), within 60 days of such event); or
 
(ix)           the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator receives written notice from DBRS (which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall forward to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in such capacity would result or has resulted in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by DBRS to any Class of Certificates or any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice or rating action, as applicable, is not rescinded within 60 days; or
 
(x)            the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer appointed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer after the Closing Date (but excluding any Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit S), shall (A) for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation AB or the Exchange Act, fail to deliver the items required to be delivered by this Agreement to enable the Certificate Administrator or Depositor to comply with the reporting obligations of the Trust under the Exchange Act or (B) for so long as any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation AB or the Exchange Act, fail to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by such servicer to the related Other Depositor or related Other Exchange Act Reporting Party pursuant to Article X of this Agreement, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), within (a) with respect to the delivery of any item relating to a Reportable Event, two (2) Business Days of such failure to comply with Article X or (b) with respect to the delivery of any other item, five (5) Business Days of such failure to comply with Article X (any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer that defaults in accordance with this Section 7.01(a)(xi) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor);
 
then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or, solely in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, upon the written direction of an affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the pool of Mortgage Loans under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) or (ix) above if the failure, default or event only has an adverse effect on a Serviced Companion Loan, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but shall be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall: (i) in the case of any such failure, default or event on the part of the Master Servicer, have the remedies set forth in Section 7.01(d) with respect to the Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan; and (ii) with respect to any such failure, default or event on the part
 
 
-312-

 
 
of the Special Servicer, be able to require termination of the Special Servicer with respect to, but only with respect to, the related Serviced Loan Combination.
 
In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.
 
(b)           If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(c) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii) or Section 7.01(a)(ix) and if the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to service as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(b). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c)) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.04 (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency within 10 days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above-described 45-day time period) until such confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer.
 
Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).
 
The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Loan Combinations, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
 
 
-313-

 
 
If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.
 
(c)           In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination and transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Loan Combination Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lock-Box Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combination, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records
 
 
-314-

 
 
to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding Sections 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, at the written direction of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer shall appoint, within 30 days of such direction, a sub-servicer (or, if the related Serviced Loan Combination is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of such direction, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Loan Combination calculated at 0% per annum with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that such Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of
 
 
-315-

 
 
funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.
 
(e)           If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer has received written notice (which, for the purposes of this clause (e), shall include any publications by Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA of which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, as the case may be, has actual knowledge) from Moody’s, DBRS or KBRA that the Master Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer then such party shall promptly notify the others and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder of the same.
 
Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.02, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations, liabilities or warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be
 
 
-316-

 
 
outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Controlling Class Representative Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right (and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Control Termination Event, the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder shall have the right) to approve any such successor Special Servicer with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan(s). No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses; provided, further that, for so long as no Controlling Class Representative Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (and, if the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Loan Combination is affected and no Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Boca Hamptons Plaza Portfolio Controlling Note Holder) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
 
If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be
 
 
-317-

 
 
below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.
 
Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders.
 
(a)           Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders, and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.
 
(b)           Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Serviced Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.
 
Section 7.04     Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Serviced Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Loan Combination Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
 
 
-318-

 
 
Section 7.05     Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to the related Serviced Loan Combination only, by each affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Loan Combination Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (considering each Class of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates together with the Class PEZ Component of the same alphabetical designation as a single “Class” for such purpose), and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b)) the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.
 
The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Serviced Companion Loan Holder related to a Serviced Loan Combination (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Serviced Loan Combination is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this
 
 
-319-

 
 
Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Loan Combination, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the master servicing fee for the related Mortgage Loan calculated at 0% per annum. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Loan Combination in the event that the Serviced Loan Combination is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Serviced Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.
 
Section 7.06     Termination of the Operating Advisor.
 
(a)           An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:
 
(i)            any failure by the Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with 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;
 
 
-320-

 
 
(ii)           any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;
 
(iii)          any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;
 
(iv)          a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;
 
(v)           the Operating Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
 
(vi)          the Operating Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
 
Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.
 
(b)           Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor 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
 
 
-321-

 
 
with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.
 
(c)           On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement (excluding resignation under the circumstances contemplated in Section 6.04(b) where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Operating Advisor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and, with respect to each Serviced Loan as to which a Consultation Termination Event does not exist, the related Directing Holder within one Business Day of such appointment, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide written notice of such appointment to each Certificateholder within one Business Day of the receipt of such notice of appointment from the Trustee. Except as contemplated by Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement, the appointment of the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the holder of any Class of Certificates.
 
 
-322-

 
 
The Operating Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Operating Advisor, including by means of an Affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign or cause an assignment under Section 6.04 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.06(c), which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Operating Advisor and the provisions in this Agreement relating to consultation with respect to the Operating Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed hereunder.
 
(d)           Upon any resignation or termination of the Operating Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an applicable Consultation Termination Event, the related Directing Holder and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. In the event that the Operating Advisor resigns or is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such resignation or termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such resignation or termination).

If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall request a corrected instrument, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable satisfaction, the Certificate Administrator (if the Certificate Administrator requested the corrected instrument or upon direction from the Trustee if the Trustee requested the corrected instrument) will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
 
(c)           Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act shall have any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or any such person, from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith; and provided, further, that:
 
(i)            Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the curing or waiver of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, opinions, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, that conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement without responsibility for investigating the contents thereof;

(iv)          Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or control persons shall be responsible for any act or omission of any Custodian, Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar that is not the same Person as, or an Affiliate of, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and that is selected other than by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, performed or omitted in compliance with any custodial or other agreement, or any act or omission of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Directing Holder or the Controlling Class Representative or any other third Person, including, without limitation, in connection with actions taken pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(v)           Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is incidental to its respective duties as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement (and, if it does, all reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund) and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured, and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account, unless such legal action arises (i) as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or by reason of negligent disregard of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, obligations or duties hereunder, or (ii) as a result of the breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, of any of its representations or warranties contained herein; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder;
 
(vi)          Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be charged with knowledge of any act, failure to act or breach of any Person unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure or receives written notice of such act, failure to act or breach from any other party to this Agreement, any Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Directing Holder or the Controlling Class Representative; and
 
(vii)         Except in the event of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud, in no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator 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
 
 
-325-

 
 
Trustee or the Certificate Administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
 
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to expend or risk its own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if in the opinion of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer (other than the obligations to make Advances under Sections 3.20 and 4.06 of this Agreement), the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Certificate Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor under this Agreement.

All such payments as contemplated by the preceding paragraph shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly following receipt thereof.
 
(b)           In connection with a termination contemplated by Section 9.01(a) of this Agreement, the Trust REMICs outstanding shall be terminated and the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such Trust REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.

Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to this Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Serviced Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Loan Combinations, subject to certain rights of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by or on behalf of the Trust Fund (including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust, (B) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust, as determined by the Special Servicer (such Appraisals in clause (i)(B) shall be obtained by the Special Servicer) and (C) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).
 
Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).
 
(d)           If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Regular Certificates, and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Amount or Lower-Tier Principal Balance, as applicable, of each such Class of Certificates and Lower Tier Regular Interest, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement (or, if no such Regular Certificates or any Class PEZ Regular Interests are then outstanding, to the Holders of the
 
 
-342-

 
Class R Certificates) and (ii) to the Holders of the Grantor Trust Certificates, of any amount remaining in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account and/or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, as applicable, in any case, following the later to occur of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund or (b) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.17 of this Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund.
 
(e)           Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders at their addresses shown in the Certificate Register (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider) as soon as practicable after the Certificate Administrator shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:
 
(i)            specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;
 
(ii)           specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and
 
(iii)          state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.
 
If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.
 
(f)           Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
 
 
-343-

 
 
held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
 
(g)           For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h), and then the Holders of the Controlling Class representing more than 50% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Controlling Class, and then the Special Servicer, and then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of Class R Certificates representing more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in such Class, in each of the last four cases, pursuant to subsection (c).
 
(h)           Following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount, the Class X-B Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB and Class D Certificates and the Class PEZ Regular Interests are reduced to zero, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (but excluding the Class S and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Remaining Certificateholder shall pay the Master Servicer an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the then-outstanding Sequential Pay Certificates as of the day of the exchange and (C) three, divided by (ii) 360. In the event that the Remaining Certificateholder elects to exchange all of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Remaining Certificateholder, not later than the Termination Date, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account or a Distribution Account, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all remaining Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) by the Remaining Certificateholder on the Termination Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Remaining Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Remaining Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (and including the Trust Fund’s interest in any REO Property acquired with respect to the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Section 9.01. Thereafter, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (other than the making of certain payments to Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holders, sending of certain notices, the maintenance of books and records and the preparation and filing of final tax returns), shall terminate. Such transfers shall be subject to
 
 
-344-

 
 
any rights of any Sub-Servicers to service (or to perform select servicing functions with respect to) the Mortgage Loans. For federal income tax purposes, the Remaining Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Amount of its remaining Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or the Trust’s interests therein) are deemed distributed to the Remaining Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

In the event that the Depositor, upon consultation with the Trustee, notifies the parties to this Agreement that it has determined that the TIA applies to this Agreement or that that qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted is required (any such determination by the Depositor, a “TIA Applicability Determination”), then, (i) in the case of the TIA, pursuant to Section 318 of the TIA (assuming such section is then in effect), the provisions of Sections 310 to and including Section 317 of the TIA that impose duties on any person shall be part of and govern this Agreement, whether or not physically contained herein, as and to the extent provided in Section 318 of the TIA; provided, however, that it shall be deemed that the parties to this Agreement have agreed that, to the extent permitted under the TIA, this Agreement shall expressly exclude any non-mandatory provisions that (x) conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or would otherwise alter the provisions of this Agreement or (y) increase the obligations, liabilities or scope of responsibility of any party hereto; (ii) the parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Depositor to make such amendments to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Agreement under the TIA or such similar statute and to add to this Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA or as may be determined by the parties to be beneficial for compliance with the TIA; and (iii) upon the direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall file a Form T-1 or such other form as the Depositor informs the Trustee is required, with the Commission or other appropriate institution.
 
Section 11.15     Cooperation with the Mortgage Loan Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Loan Agreements.
 
It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Loan Documents, it is expressly intended that the Mortgage Loan Sellers are entitled to the
 
 
-384-

 
 
benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions that specifically run to the benefit of the lenders in the Loan Documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller, at the sole expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to obtaining the benefits of the provisions of any section of a Loan Agreement or securitization cooperation agreement providing for indemnification of the lender and/or its loan seller affiliates with respect to the current securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, reassignment to the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such sections, but no other portion, of the Loan Documents, to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller to enforce such provisions for its benefit; provided, that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions. To the extent that the Trustee is required to execute any document facilitating an assignment under this Section 11.15, such document shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
 
Section 11.16     PNC Bank, National Association.
 
PNC Bank, National Association, by execution hereof by its division, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against PNC Bank, National Association to the full extent of the obligations set forth herein with respect to Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-1-2

 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the
 
 
A-1-3

 
 
Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
 
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:
 
 
(i)
to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates;
 
 
(ii)
to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or to correct any error;
 
 
(iii)
to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Distribution Account or any REO Account, provided that (A) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (B) the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);
 
 
(iv)
to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
 
 
A-1-4

 
 
 
 
such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB and/or any regulatory actions and/or interpretations;
 
 
(v)
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;
 
 
(vi)
to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
 
 
 
(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then in which case such expense will be borne by the Trust.
 
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
 
 
A-1-5

 
 
 
(i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,
 
 
(ii)

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-2 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-2-2

 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the
 
 
A-2-3

 
 
Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
 
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-3 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-3-2

 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the
 
 
A-3-3

 
 
Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.
 
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

A-3-5

 
 
 
(i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Serviced Loans which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable,
 
 
(ii)

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-4 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-4-2

 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the
 
 
A-4-3

 
 
Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);

The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-AB Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-6-2

 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-AB Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the
 
 
A-6-3

 
 
Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class X-A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-A Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class X-B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s
 
 
A-8-3

 
 
rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

  of any holder of the Certificates, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB and/or any regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to
 
 
A-9-4

 
 
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.
 
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
 
 
(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement

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

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class X-H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-H Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-S Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
 
A-12-2

 
 
This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-S Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
 
A-13-2

 
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related
 
 
A-13-3

 
 
REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class PEZ Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as
 
 
A-14-2

 
 
Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of multiple “regular interests” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class PEZ Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class PEZ Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator.

This Certificate represents beneficial ownership of a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class C Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(v)
to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;
 
 
(vi)
to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class G Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class H Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and, other than in the case of the Outside Serviced Trust Loans, serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loans) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class S Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the
 
 
A-21-3

 
 
Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, with respect to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights in any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Exchangeable Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements, the RTI Guaranty and the RFT Guaranty to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (xi) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xii) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian (if the Trustee is then acting as Custodian), the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans (other than the Outside Serviced Trust Loan) are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-H, Class A-S, Class B, Class PEZ, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H and Class R Certificates (together with the Class S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).
 
This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

This Certificate represents a beneficial ownership interest in certain assets of a grantor trust consisting primarily of any collections of Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
 
The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the Determination Date in each month, commencing in March 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount then distributable, if any, with respect to the Class S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
 
Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans (excluding the CCRE Strip) due after the Cut-Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of the substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Loan Combination, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in
 
 
A-22-2

(vii)
to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
 
 
(viii)
in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (A) to the extent necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) to modify such other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to make those provisions consistent with, and conform to, the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A);
 
provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(viii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser ; or (v) adversely affect any Serviced Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent.

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:
 
1.           I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.
 
2.           The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be or has been made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).
 
3.           The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership
 
 
L-1-1

 
 
thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, a State or any political subdivision of a State, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to be subject to tax or to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code.
 
4.           The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.
 
5.           The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, (d) an entity treated as a U.S. partnership if any of its partners, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) is (or is permitted to be under the partnership agreement) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or (e) a U.S. Tax Person with respect to which income from a Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person.
 
6.           No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
 
7.           The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Tax Person.
 
8.           Check the applicable paragraph:
 
o          The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
 
 
L-1-2

 
 
(i)          the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;
 
(ii)         the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and
 
(iii)        the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
 
For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.
 
o          The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
 
(i)          the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation”, as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
 
(ii)         at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a Person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;
 
(iii)        the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and
 
(iv)        the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.
 
o           None of the above.
 
9.           The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.
 
 
L-1-3

 
 
10.         The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.
 
11.         The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
 
12.         The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.
 
13.         The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.
 
14.         The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.
 
15.         The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the tax matters person of the Lower-Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”).

The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:
 
(1)           No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
 
(2)           The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit L-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in clause (9) of such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.
 
(3)           The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future.

L-4-1

 
 
in the related Class], in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Transferred Certificate”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:
 
1.           The Purchaser is an “institutional accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”), (i.e. an entity meeting, or in which all of the equity owners meet, the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Transferred Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Transferred Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. [FOR TRANSFERS OF CLASS R CERTIFICATES: Furthermore, the Purchaser and any such account are each a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act).]The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.
 
2.           The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Transferred Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions complying with Rule 144A[,FOR TRANSFERS OF ANY CERTIFICATES OTHER THAN CLASS R: or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors under the Securities Act, pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer.] It understands that the Transferred Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.
 
3.           The Purchaser acknowledges that the Transferred Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Transferred Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.
 
 
L-4-2

 
 
4.           The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated January 28, 2015, relating to the Private Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.
 
5.           The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Non-Book Entry Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.
 
6.           The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Transferred Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
7.           Check one of the following:
 
o            The Purchaser is a “U.S. Tax Person” and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).
 
o            The Purchaser is not a “U.S. Tax Person” and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Administrator (or its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on the Transferred Certificate(s). The Purchaser has attached hereto (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8 BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachment) or (iii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Transferred Certificate(s) and state that interest and original issue discount on the Transferred Certificate(s) is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Administrator an updated IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Administrator.

Re:
Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-GC27, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GC27 Mortgage Loan (the “Subject Mortgage Loan”) heretofore secured by real property known as ____________ [Include the following if there is pari passu or AB debt: as evidenced by that certain Promissory Note [A-1][A] in the amount of $____________, which Promissory Note [A-1][A] is owned by the Trust, and Promissory Note [A-2][B] in the amount of $_____________, which Promissory Note [A-2][B] is owned by ________________.
 
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
THE STATEMENTS SET FORTH BELOW ARE MADE (A) TO THE BEST KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNDERSIGNED BASED UPON DUE DILIGENCE CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICING STANDARD SPECIFIED IN THE POOLING
 
 
DD-1

 
 
AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (THE “SERVICING STANDARD”), AND (B) WITHOUT INTENDING TO WARRANT THE ACCURACY THEREOF OR UNDERTAKE ANY DUTY OR STANDARD OF CARE GREATER THAN THE DUTIES OF SERVICER UNDER THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICING STANDARD.
 
We hereby notify you and confirm that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions, if any, set forth on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, will have no material adverse effect on the Subject Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:
 
1.             The Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan of the type checked below:**
 
 
____ a full defeasance of the entire outstanding principal balance ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan; or
 
 
____ a partial defeasance of a portion ($____________) of the Subject Mortgage Loan that represents ___% of the entire principal balance of the Subject Mortgage Loan ($____________).
 
2.             The defeasance was consummated on ____________, 20__.
 
3.             The defeasance was completed in all material respects in accordance with the conditions for defeasance specified in the Loan Documents and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
 
[Include the following if there is pari passu or AB debt:
 
4.             In accordance with the Loan Documents, the defeasance occurred such that:
 
 
____ Promissory Notes [A-1][A] and [A-2][B] were defeased simultaneously in their entirety; or
 
 
____ Promissory Note [A-2][B] was paid off in full.]
 
5.             To the knowledge of the Master Servicer any other debt related to the Subject Mortgage Loan (including mezzanine debt, senior secured debt, pari passu debt or subordinate secured debt was either paid off in full or defeased. Such debt consists of the following: [Describe debt and holder of the debt and if it was paid off or defeased].
 
6.             The defeasance collateral consists only of one or more of the following: (i) direct debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) direct debt obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, (iii) direct debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, (iv) interest-only direct debt obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation, (v) consolidated debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank or (vi) securities covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (the “FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program
 
 
DD-2

 
 
(“TLGP”). Based upon a written report from an independent certified accountant, such defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, (ii) provide for interest at a fixed rate and (iii) are not callable prior to their respective maturity dates. In addition, if the defeasance collateral contains any TLGP securities, then:
 
 
Such securities are eligible under TLGP;
 
 
The master servicer (and the trustee, if it serves as the back-up advancing agent for the transaction) has waived its right to (i) collect interest on advances made on behalf of the borrower holding TLGP securities, and (ii) collect for expenses incurred in making demand on the FDIC;
 
 
If the TLGP debt is to be used to satisfy a balloon payment, a reserve conforming to the criteria for eligible accounts was funded with a minimum of 90 days interest on the defeasance collateral to cover potential delays in receipt of the balloon payment;
 
 
The TLGP securities mature before June 30, 2012; and
 
 
The master servicer’s error and omissions insurance policy covers losses to the CMBS trust caused by the servicer’s failure to make timely demand on the FDIC’s guarantee.
 
7.           After the defeasance, the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that: (i) is the original Mortgagor, (ii) is a Single-Purpose Entity (as described in S&P’s criteria), (iii) is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organizational documents of the original Mortgagor with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose, (iv) has been designated as the Defeasance Obligor by the originator of the Subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (v) has previously received confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that the organizational documents of such Defeasance Obligor conform with applicable Standard & Poor’s criteria. The Defeasance Obligor owns no assets other than defeasance collateral and (only in the case of the original Mortgagor) real property securing one or more Mortgage Loans included in the pool under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pool”).
 
8.           If such Defeasance Obligor (together with its affiliates) holds more than one defeased loan, it does not (together with its affiliates) hold defeased loans aggregating more than $35 Million or more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate certificate balance of the Certificates, as of the date of the most recent Certificate Administrator’s Distribution Date Statement received by Master Servicer (the “Current Report”), except to the extent the Defeasance Obligor is of the type specified in paragraph 7(v) above or the original Loan Documents do not limit the amount of defeased loans that it may hold.
 
9.           The defeasance documents require that the defeasance collateral be credited to an eligible account (as defined in S&P’s criteria) that must be maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary that is at all times an Eligible Institution (as
 
 
DD-3

 
 
defined in S&P’s criteria). The securities intermediary may reinvest proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing defeasance).
 
10.           The securities intermediary is obligated to pay from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral, directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account, all scheduled payments on the Subject Mortgage Loan or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased including any defeasance premiums set forth in the loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).
 
11.           The Master Servicer received written confirmation from an independent certified public accountant stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Monthly Payments including the payment in full of the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) except as otherwise disclosed in the written report from an independent certified public accountant, [and disclosed below,] the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Monthly Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, (iii) the defeasance collateral is not callable prior to their respective maturity dates, and (iv) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any tax year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Subject Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year, other than in the year in which the Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date will occur, when interest income will exceed interest expense.
 
12.           The Master Servicer received opinions of counsel that, subject to customary qualifications, (i) the defeasance will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purpose of the Code, (ii) the agreements executed by the Mortgagor and the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, [and] (iii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral.
 
13.           The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) prohibit subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, (ii) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor, (iii) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment to the Defeasance Obligor only after the Subject Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (iv) include representations and/or covenants of the Mortgagor and/or securities intermediary substantially as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (v) provide for survival of such representations; and (vi) do not permit waiver of such representations and covenants.
 
14.           At the time of the defeasance of the Subject Mortgage Loan, the Subject Mortgage Loan is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.
 
 
DD-4

 
 
15.           Copies of all material agreements, instruments, organizational documents, opinions of counsel, accountant’s report and other items delivered in connection with the defeasance will be provided to you upon request.
 
16.           The individual executing this notice is an authorized officer or a servicing officer of the Master Servicer.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Master Servicer has caused this notice to be executed as of the date captioned above.

Re:  
Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C27,
Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C27
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as special counsel to Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the proposed sale by the Company and purchase by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays” and together  with WFS, the “Underwriters”) of the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C27, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C27, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C and Class PEX (the “Offered Certificates”), pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 3, 2015 (the “Agreement”), among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, WFS and Barclays.  The Offered Certificates are being issued pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of  March 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as trust advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (the “Certificate Administrator”), tax administrator and custodian, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee.  This letter is being delivered at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 6(f) of the Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given them in the Agreement.
 
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or specimens, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and such certificates, corporate and public records, agreements and instruments and other documents, including, among other things, the documents delivered on the date hereof, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.  In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents, agreements and instruments of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the authenticity of the
 
 
 

 
 
originals of such documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the conformity of the text of each document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) through the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System to the printed document reviewed by us, the accuracy of the matters set forth in the documents, agreements and instruments we reviewed, and that such documents, agreements and instruments evidence the entire understanding between the parties thereto and have not been amended, modified or supplemented in any manner material to the opinions expressed herein.  As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of, the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and we have relied upon certificates and oral or written statements and other information obtained from the Company, the other parties to the transaction referenced herein, and public officials.  Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or dockets) to determine the existence or absence of the facts that are material to our opinions, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our reliance on the representations of the Company and others in connection with the preparation and delivery of this letter.
 
We have also assumed (x) the legal capacity of all natural persons and (y) (except to the extent expressly opined on herein) that all documents, agreements and instruments have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, that all such parties are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, that all such parties had the power and legal right to execute and deliver all such documents, agreements and instruments, and that such documents, agreements and instruments constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms.  As used herein, “to our knowledge”, “known to us” or words of similar import mean the actual knowledge, without independent investigation, of any lawyer in our firm actively involved in representing the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
 
We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent expressly referred to in this letter, the federal laws of the United States of America.
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
1.           When the Offered Certificates have been duly executed, authenticated and delivered by the Certificate Administrator in the manner contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and paid for by and sold to the Underwriters pursuant to the Agreement, the Offered Certificates will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and entitled to the benefits provided by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
2.           The descriptions of federal income tax consequences appearing under the heading “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Company’s Prospectus,

dated January 28, 2015 (the “Prospectus”), and in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement, dated March 4, 2015 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), accurately describe the material federal income tax consequences to holders of the Offered Certificates, under existing law and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.  We also hereby confirm and adopt the opinions expressly set forth under such headings, under existing law and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.
 
We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-195164) filed with the Commission on April 9, 2014, as amended by a Form S-3/A filed on June 17, 2014 and as declared effective on June 25, 2014 (excluding any exhibits thereto, the “Registration Statement”), as it relates to the Offered Certificates, and to the reference to Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP and the discussion of our opinions set forth in this letter under the headings “Legal Matters” and “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Prospectus Supplement and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus.  This consent is not to be construed as an admission that we are a person whose consent is required to be filed with the Registration Statement under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update this letter or communicate with you or advise you as to any changes in fact or law, or otherwise.

EX-99.1 8 exh_99-1.htm MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MARCH 3, 2015 Unassociated Document
Exhibit 99.1
 
 
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of March 3, 2015, between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).
 
RECITALS
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).
 
The Purchaser intends to create a trust (the “Trust”), the primary assets of which will be a segregated pool of commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, that includes the Mortgage Loans.  Beneficial ownership of the assets of the Trust (such assets collectively, the “Trust Fund”) will be evidenced by a series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the “Certificates”).  Certain classes of the Certificates will be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (the “Rating Agencies”).  Certain classes of Certificates (the “Registered Certificates”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain classes of Certificates (the “Non-Registered Certificates”) will not be registered under the Securities Act.  The Trust will be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of March 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Purchaser, as depositor (in such capacity, the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity, the “Certificate Administrator”), as tax administrator and as custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”), and Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as trust advisor (the “Trust Advisor”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1 hereof).  Any reference to a provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.  It is anticipated that the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust contemporaneously with its purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
 
The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays” and, together with WFS in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Underwriters.  The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates
 
 
 

 
 
to WFS, Barclays and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Initial Purchasers.  The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus supplement dated March 4, 2015 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Prospectus Supplement”), relating to the Registered Certificates, which is a supplement to that certain base prospectus, dated January 28, 2015 (the “Base Prospectus” and, together with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”) and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated March 4, 2015 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain free writing prospectus, dated February 24, 2015, relating to the Registered Certificates, together with all annexes and exhibits thereto (as supplemented by that certain supplement to the Free Writing Prospectus, dated March 2, 2015, the “Free Writing Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated February 24, 2015, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates , together with all annexes and exhibits thereto (as supplemented by that certain supplement to the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum, dated March 2, 2015, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
Section 1.      Agreement to Purchase.  The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans.  The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on March 12, 2015 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”).  As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $387,422,468, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%.  The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible).  The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.
 
Section 2.      Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.  (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the
 
 
-2-

 
 
other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files.  Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).  The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
 
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
 
(b)     The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the
 
 
-3-

 
 
possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(c)     In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
 
  (i)      the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or
 
  (ii)     the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as
 
 
-4-

 
 
a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File;
 
provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that no such document or instrument is required to be delivered with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan other than the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder.  Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan).  For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
 
In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan Nos.  11, 14, 16, 23, 25, 26, 33 and 52 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisors (with a copy to the Master Servicer) that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust and obtain a replacement comfort letter

in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.
 
(d)     As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Mortgage Loan Seller, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Each such assignment of a loan document shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer).  Except in the case of a Non-Trust Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, as contemplated above; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
 
(e)     In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) as of the Closing Date:  (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of

Section 2(d) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC® Financial File and CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)      Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller.  In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
 
(g)     The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
 
Section 3.     Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.  The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law

for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.
 
Section 4.      Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.  (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan (as defined in Section 4(g) hereof) with one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(g) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.  The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.
 
(b)     The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C.  The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.
 
(c)     The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(d)     The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Borrowers, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in the Prospectus Supplement complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof.  As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, n each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.
 
(e)     [Reserved.]
 
(f)      With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing

Agreement applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.
 
(g)     The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Replacement Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.  For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution.  From and after the date of substitution, each Replacement Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.  A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
(h)     It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
 
Section 5.       Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.  (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by the Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and (y) the Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Party shall, within 90 days after discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially

Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Party to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Mortgage Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the
 
 
-10-

 
 
Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)      the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
(B)      all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(i)      the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the
 
 
-11-

 
 
four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)     the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)    the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Purchaser agree to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
 
-12-

 
 
All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and the second and third sentences of the preceding paragraph shall be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.
 
(b)     Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.
 
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
 
(c)     The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the
 
 
-13-

 
 
execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Borrowers of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.
 
(d)     It is understood and agreed that, subject to the next paragraph, the obligations of the Responsible Repurchase Party set forth in this Section 5 to cure a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, or to repurchase or replace or make a Loss of Value Payment in respect of the related Defective Mortgage Loan(s), as the case may be, constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to a Breach or Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan; provided that this limitation shall not in any way limit the Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any representation or warranty or covenant by the Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit C).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (but only to the extent) that (A) the Mortgage Loan Seller specifically represents in the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto that the Borrower under a Mortgage Loan is required to pay, or that the lender is entitled to charge the Borrower for, a cost or expense associated with the subject matter of such a representation and warranty set forth in Exhibit C, (B) such representation and warranty is untrue with respect to such cost or expense, (C) such cost or expense is actually incurred or borne by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or another Person acting on behalf of the Trustee as the holder of such Mortgage Loan), (D) the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or another Person acting on behalf of the Trustee as the holder of such Mortgage Loan) exercises efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan documents to collect such cost or expense from the Borrower and (E) the Borrower does not pay such cost or expense at or before the conclusion of the efforts described in the preceding clause (D), then the Responsible Repurchase Party hereby covenants and agrees (it being the intention of the parties that all, and not less than all, of the conditions described in the preceding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) shall be precedent to such covenant and agreement) to pay such cost or expense within 90 days following a direction by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to do so.  Also notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedy described in the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to any breach of any representation described in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not otherwise have any obligation to cure such a breach and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not have any obligation to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan.

Exh. B-2-1

 
 
EXHIBIT C
 
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein).  All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.      Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.      Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.      Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.      Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.
 
 
Exh. C-3

 
 
8.      Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent:  (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.     Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.     Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.      Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.     Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-8

 
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.     Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.     No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable 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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage 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 with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.     Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.
 
 
Exh. C-10

 
 
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 de minimis fees paid.
 
26.     Local Law Compliance.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based 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, a survey, 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, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property.  In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, or (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.
 
27.     Licenses and Permits.  Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental 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, zoning consultant’s report 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 and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals 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 (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor
 
 
Exh. C-11

 
 
(which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) criminal acts by the Mortgagor or guarantor resulting in the seizure or forfeiture of all or part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) Mortgagor’s commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.
 
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, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% 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 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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.
 
 
Exh. C-12

 
 
In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).
 
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 REMIC Provisions.
 
30.     Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.  Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.
 
31.     Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination 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 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, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C.
 
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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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
 
 
Exh. C-13

 
 
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 or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 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, as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 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.  Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $30 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 and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $10 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 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 be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-14

 
 
Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (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 clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee 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 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 the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.
 
36.     Ground Leases.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating 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, comprising the premises demised under such lease 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

City Sports Clubs- Sunnyvale (Loan No. 29)
 
(i) Easement Holder’s Pay-Off Rights. Easement holder for a nitrogen gas pipeline (Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.) along the rear property line has the right at any time to pay-off and discharge any mortgage or other lien affecting the mortgaged property.

(ii) Environmental Use Restrictions. Phase I environmental site assessment identified a recognized environmental condition related to surrounding area’s inclusion within a 60 acre facility that was used historically for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.   Industrial activities resulted in subsurface soil and groundwater contamination with various petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents and metals. Ongoing remedial activities are being performed by various responsible parties pursuant to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Record of Decision and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Cleanup Order issued by the agencies in September 1991. Post-remediation groundwater monitoring is currently being performed by Advanced Micro Devices and Texas Instruments. In addition, the previous owner of the mortgaged property (TWC Storage) damaged a transformer while demolishing on-site structures in 2005, resulting in soil and groundwater contamination. In April 2012, the RWQCB approved a no further action work plan and addendum for the 2005 release, which approved cessation of active remediation on-site, but required some additional groundwater monitoring.  TWC Storage has been performing remedial investigations and cleanup actions under RWQCB supervision, including ongoing monitoring. Following completion of soil excavation, groundwater treatment and soil vapor extraction activities, the subsequent redevelopment of the site with its present improvements included construction of a vapor barrier and vapor mitigation system. The borrower has no groundwater monitoring obligations according to the RWQCB. Based on the identification of responsible parties that are continuing to meet their remedial obligations, the implementation of an institutional control (groundwater use deed restriction) and the presence of an engineering

Central Self Storage-Harvey (Loan No. 91)
 
Self-storage use is legally non-conforming. Zoning Ordinance provides that if structure is destroyed beyond 75% or more of its value, then use must conform to current requirements of the C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District (self-storage not permitted). Improvements are located in a special flood hazard area. Ordinance or law coverage in the amount of $100,000 with $50,000 deductible is in-place, and separate NFIP coverage is in-place as well. Loan documents provide for springing recourse to the borrower or guarantor if the self-storage use is no longer permitted and the borrower is unable to obtain a variance or other lawful exemption from such prohibition. The guarantor’s stated net worth as of December 22, 2014 was $8.1 million.

(36) Ground Leases
 
Albuquerque Plaza (Loan No. 6)
 
Part Fee/Part Leasehold; Fee Not Subordinated.  The borrower’s interest in the mortgaged property consists of various condominium units: an office building with first floor retail (fee), parking garage (leasehold) and retail promenade connector (leasehold) to non-owned parts of the project (a Hyatt Regency hotel and related retail). The retail promenade portion of the mortgaged property represents 2.3% of the underwritten rent. Three ground leases comprise the leasehold portion of the mortgaged collateral: (i) the Matteuci ground lease includes portions of the retail promenade; (ii) the Toti ground lease includes portions of the retail promenade; and (iii) the Zucal ground lease includes the parking garage. All the ground leases expire November 30, 2051 (the loan matures February 11, 2025).
 
Variations: (A) With respect to the Matteuci and Zucal ground leases, amendments in 1984 and 1971, respectively, were not recorded and have not been located (although both are referenced in title policy descriptions of the insured ground lease estate); however, with respect to the Zucal ground lease, a ground lessor estoppel was obtained stating that the ground lease was attached, and the attachment did not include the 1971 amendment. (B) The Matteuci and Toti ground leases do not provide that the related ground lease may not be modified (and is not effective) without the leasehold mortgagee’s consent. (D) The Matteuci and Toti ground leases have neither superior priority to any fee mortgage nor any non-disturbance protection from any fee mortgagor. (F) No ground lessor estoppel was obtained from the Matteuci ground lessor, although the loan documents include a borrower covenant that the related ground lease is in full force effect, and there are no known existing or incipient defaults. (J) The Matteuci, Toti and Zucal ground leases do not provide that, in the event of partial casualty or condemnation, proceeds will be applied either to restoration or payment of the subject loan. (K) The Matteuci, Toti and Zucal ground leases do not provide that, in the event of total casualty or condemnation, proceeds will be applied first to the subject loan. (L)

The Matteuci and Toti ground leases do not provide that the leasehold mortgagee has the right to enter into a new ground lease with the ground lessor upon the termination of the ground lease for any reason, including rejection of the ground lease in bankruptcy. The loan documents provide that the borrower and guarantors are personally liable (i) for any ground lease termination or cancellation as the result of any default caused or knowingly permitted by borrower, and (ii) for losses only with respect to the borrower’s failure to pay rent or other amounts due under the ground leases to the extent property revenues are sufficient to pay such amounts (other than ground rent reserve funds applied by lender to ground rent). The guarantors’ combined stated net worth as of September 30, 2014 (with respect to one of the guarantors) and December 31, 2013 (with respect to the other guarantor) was approximately $110 million.
         
(36) Ground Leases

Zoning requires 42 parking spaces. Latest ground lease expiration is 12.07.2040 (loan maturity is 12.11.2024). The loan documents provide for (i) recourse liability to borrower and guarantor for losses related to failure to pay ground rent to the extent property revenues are sufficient; and (ii) springing full recourse to borrower and guarantor if the ground lease is terminated for any reason unless satisfactory replacement ground lease entered into within 60 days.  Variations: (C) Ground lease term extends approximately 16 years past loan maturity (including renewal options exercisable by lender).
         
(43) Environmental Conditions
 
City Sports Clubs- Sunnyvale (Loan No. 29)
 
Phase I environmental site assessment identified a recognized environmental condition related to surrounding area’s inclusion within a 60 acre facility that was used historically for semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.   Industrial activities resulted in subsurface soil and groundwater contamination with various petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents and metals. Ongoing remedial activities are being performed by various responsible parties pursuant to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Record of Decision and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Cleanup Order issued by the agencies in September 1991. Post-remediation groundwater monitoring is currently being performed by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and Texas Instruments. In addition, the previous owner of the mortgaged property (TWC Storage, LLC) damaged a transformer while demolishing on-site structures in 2005, resulting in soil and groundwater contamination. In April 2012, the RWQCB approved a no further action work plan and addendum for the 2005 release, which approved cessation of active remediation on-site, but required some additional groundwater monitoring.  TWC Storage has been performing remedial investigations and cleanup actions under RWQCB supervision, including ongoing monitoring. Following completion of soil excavation, groundwater treatment and soil vapor extraction activities, the subsequent redevelopment of the site with its present improvements included construction of a vapor barrier and vapor mitigation system. The borrower has no groundwater monitoring obligations according to the RWQCB. Based on the identification of responsible parties that are continuing to meet their remedial obligations, the implementation of institutional controls (groundwater use deed restriction that prohibits residential or certain education uses) and the presence of engineering controls (the vapor mitigation system), the Phase I environmental site assessment recommended no further action for the groundwater contamination REC other than continued implementation of institutional/engineering controls; and, regarding vapor mitigation, the continued implementation of the vapor mitigation system installed by the borrower in September 2014. The loan documents provide for personal liability to the borrower and guarantors (David B. Dollinger and the Dollinger Living Trust) for failure to comply with the related environmental requirements.  The

Security Public Storage - Santa Fe Springs (Loan No. 59)
 
The Phase I environmental site assessment identified a recognized environmental condition related to property’s historic use as dump site from 1954 to 1963. Following installation of groundwater monitoring wells in 1987, test results in 1987, 1992 and 2005 showed no contaminant levels exceeding EPA standards. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a site reassessment in 2008 and the case was classified as “low priority for further assessment”. The Phase I ESA consultant (Partner Engineering & Sciences, Inc.) noted that the EPA will not require any additional work or investigation at the former dump site and that a “no further action” letter would be appropriate. The loan documents require (i) the borrower to request a no further action letter from the EPA and (ii) the guarantor to maintain a minimum net worth and liquidity of $25 million/$2.5 million until the no further action letter has been received. The guarantor’s stated net worth and liquidity as of December 15, 2014 is $55.9 million/$13.0 million.
         
(43) Environmental Conditions
 
Shoppes at Town Square (Loan No. 93)
 
Phase I environmental site assessment identified a recognized environmental condition related to an adjacent property’s historic use as an automobile service station, specifically the release of contaminants into groundwater. The adjacent property is currently used for a CVS drugstore, and is identified on several regulatory databases. According to latest groundwater sampling report, dated June 29, 2011, a release was reported to state environmental authorities when three UST’s were removed in August 2000. Soil sampling in 2011 confirmed that most of the contaminated soil had already been excavated. Groundwater sampling indicated that the contamination plume was limited to the source area, which is approximately 140 feet from the mortgaged property. Because of separation from the contamination plume and the mortgaged property’s connection to the municipal water system, the Phase I environmental site assessment found no immediate health risk and did not recommend any further action.

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), is dated and effective as of March 3, 2015, between Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC (“Rialto”), as seller (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Mortgage Loan Seller”), and Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser”).
 
RECITALS
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (as such schedule may be amended from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”).

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays” and, together with WFS in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Underwriters.  The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates
 
 
 

 
 
to WFS, Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co.

The Mortgage Loan Seller will indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and certain related parties with respect to certain disclosure regarding the Mortgage Loans that is contained in (a) that certain free writing prospectus, dated February 24, 2015, relating to the Registered Certificates, together with all annexes and exhibits thereto (as supplemented by that certain supplement to the Free Writing Prospectus, dated March 2, 2015, the “Free Writing Prospectus”), (b) that certain preliminary private placement memorandum, dated February 24, 2015, relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, together with all annexes and exhibits thereto (as supplemented by that certain supplement to the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum, dated March 2, 2015, the “Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum”), (c) the Prospectus, (d) the Private Placement Memorandum and (e) certain other disclosure documents and offering materials relating to the Certificates, pursuant to an indemnification agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indemnification Agreement”), among the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
Section 1.          Agreement to Purchase.  The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans.  The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on March 12, 2015 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”).  As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $292,101,933, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%.  The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible).  The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.
 
Section 2.          Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.  (a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the
 
 
-2-

 
 
other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files.  Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).  The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
 
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
 
(b)           The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the

possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(c)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
 
(i)           the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or

a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File;
 
provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that no such document or instrument is required to be delivered with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan other than the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder.  Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan).  For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
 
In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan Nos.  4 and 49 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisors (with a copy to the Master Servicer) that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust and shall, upon receipt of notice from the Master Servicer that

any such comfort letter with respect to a franchise agreement has not been received within the timeframe provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice, obtain a replacement comfort letter in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.]
 
(d)           As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Mortgage Loan Seller, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Each such assignment of a loan document shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer).  Except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, as contemplated above; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
 
(e)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) as of the Closing Date:  (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for
 
 
-6-

 
 
each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(d) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC® Financial File and CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)           Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller.  In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
 
(g)           The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
 
Section 3.          Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.  The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of
 
 
-7-

 
 
the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.
 
Section 4.          Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.  (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan (as defined in Section 4(g) hereof) with one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(g) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.  The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.
 
(b)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C.  The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.
 
(c)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(d)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Borrowers, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in the Prospectus Supplement complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof.  As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.
 
(e)           [Reserved.]
 
(f)           The Mortgage Loan Seller is not requiring the Master Servicer to retain any Sub-Servicer for any of the Mortgage Loans in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
 
-8-

 
 
(g)           The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Replacement Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.  For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution.  From and after the date of substitution, each Replacement Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.  A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
(h)           It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
 
Section 5.          Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.  (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by the Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and (y) the Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Party shall, within 90 days after discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible

Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Party to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Mortgage Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any
 
 
-10-

 
 
such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)        the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
(B)         all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
    (i)           the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)         the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected
 
 
-11-

 
 
Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)        the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Purchaser agree to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,  with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and the second and third sentences of the preceding paragraph shall be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.

(b)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.
 
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
 
(c)           The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Borrower of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and
 
 
-13-

 
 
Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.
 
(d)           It is understood and agreed that, subject to the next paragraph, the obligations of the Responsible Repurchase Party set forth in this Section 5 to cure a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, or to repurchase or replace or make a Loss of Value Payment in respect of the related Defective Mortgage Loan(s), as the case may be, constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to a Breach or Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan; provided that this limitation shall not in any way limit the Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any representation or warranty or covenant by the Mortgage Loan Seller set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit C).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (but only to the extent) that (A) the Mortgage Loan Seller specifically represents in the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto that the Borrower under a Mortgage Loan is required to pay, or that the lender is entitled to charge the Borrower for, a cost or expense associated with the subject matter of such a representation and warranty set forth in Exhibit C, (B) such representation and warranty is untrue with respect to such cost or expense, (C) such cost or expense is actually incurred or borne by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or another Person acting on behalf of the Trustee as the holder of such Mortgage Loan), (D) the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or another Person acting on behalf of the Trustee as the holder of such Mortgage Loan) exercises efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan documents to collect such cost or expense from the Borrower and (E) the Borrower does not pay such cost or expense at or before the conclusion of the efforts described in the preceding clause (D), then the Responsible Repurchase Party hereby covenants and agrees (it being the intention of the parties that all, and not less than all, of the conditions described in the preceding clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) shall be precedent to such covenant and agreement) to pay such cost or expense within 90 days following a direction by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to do so.  Also notwithstanding the foregoing, the remedy described in the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to any breach of any representation described in clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not otherwise have any obligation to cure such a breach and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall not have any obligation to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan.

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein).  All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.           Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.           Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.           Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.
 
 
Exh. C-3

 
 
8.           Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent:  (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.           Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.           Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.           Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.           Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.           Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.           No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable 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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).  All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.
 
23.           Compliance with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.           Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.
 
 
Exh. C-10

 
 
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 de minimis fees paid.
 
26.           Local Law Compliance.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based 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, a survey, 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, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property.  In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, or (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.
 
27.           Licenses and Permits.  Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental 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, zoning consultant’s report 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 and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals 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 (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor
 
 
Exh. C-11

 
 
(which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) criminal acts by the Mortgagor or guarantor resulting in the seizure or forfeiture of all or part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) Mortgagor’s commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.
 
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, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% 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 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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.
 
 
Exh. C-12

 
 
In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).
 
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 REMIC Provisions.
 
30.           Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.  Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.
 
31.           Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination 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 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, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C.
 
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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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 or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 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, as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 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.  Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $30 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 and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $10 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 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 be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-14

 
 
Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (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 clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee 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 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 the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.
 
36.             Ground Leases.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating 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, comprising the premises demised under such lease 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:
 
(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 and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.  No material 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;
 
 
Exh. C-15

 
 
(B)           The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee 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, provided that lender has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;
 
(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 either (i) 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 and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;
 
(E)           Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);
 
(F)           The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
 
(G)           The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

Exh. C-16

 
 
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 the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;
 
(J)            Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a 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 of each Mortgage Loan complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and in accordance with customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.
 
38.           Origination and Underwriting.  The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.
 
39.           Rent Rolls; Operating Histories.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality or single tenant 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.
 
40.           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 in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off 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 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 this Exhibit C.  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.
 
41.           Bankruptcy.  As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

In the case of each Mortgage Loan set forth on Exhibit C-43-1, (i) such Mortgage Loan is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer set forth on Exhibit C-43-1 (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (ii) as of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and the Trustee will within 60 days following the Closing Date be a named insured under such policy either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such policy, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, (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
 
 
Exh. C-19

 
 
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 closing of the Mortgage Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, the Mortgage Loan Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following:  (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least three years beyond the maturity of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the related Anticipated Repayment Date).
 
44.           Lease Estoppels.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, the Mortgage Loan Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from the Mortgage Loan Seller’s underwriting).  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 (or such longer period as the Mortgage Loan Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization), and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, 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.
 
45.           Appraisal.  The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date.  The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, and (ii) 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.
 
46.           Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Mortgage

49.           Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

Section 2.     Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.  (a)  Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files.  Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).  The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
 
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
 
(b)           The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the
 
 
-3-

 
 
Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(c)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
 
 (i)           the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or
 
 
-4-

 
 
 (ii)          the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File;
 
provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that no such document or instrument is required to be delivered with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan other than the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan).  For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
 
(d)           As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related date of
 
 
-5-

 
 
substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Mortgage Loan Seller, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Each such assignment of a loan document shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer).  Except in the case of a Non-Trust Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, as contemplated above; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
 
(e)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) as of the Closing Date:  (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(d) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced
 
 
-6-

 
 
Loan Combination(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC® Financial File and CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)            Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller.  In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
 
(g)           The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
 
Section 3.     Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.  The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.
 
Section 4.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.  (a)  The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan (as defined in Section 4(g) hereof) with one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(g)
 
 
-7-

 
 
hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.  The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.
 
(b)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C. The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.
 
(c)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(d)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Borrowers, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in the Prospectus Supplement complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof.  As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.
 
(e)            [Reserved].
 
(f)           With respect to each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused each such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan Seller, with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), it shall cause each Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all reporting requirements set forth therein.

(g)           The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Replacement Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.  For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution.  From and after the date of substitution, each Replacement Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.  A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
(h)           It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
 
Section 5.     Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.  (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by the Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and (y) the Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Party shall, within 90 days after discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible
 
 
-9-

 
 
Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Party to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Mortgage Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such
 
 
-10-

 
 
Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)        the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
(B)         all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(i)           the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)           the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected
 
 
-11-

 
 
Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)         the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).

Exh. B-2-1

 
 
EXHIBIT C
 
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein).  All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.             Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.             Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.             Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.             Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.

8.             Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent: (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.         Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.         Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.         Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.         Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-8

 
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.         Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.         No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage 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 with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.         Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-10

 
 
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 de minimis fees paid.
 
26.         Local Law Compliance.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based 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, a survey, 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, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property.  In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, or (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.
 
27.         Licenses and Permits.  Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental 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, zoning consultant’s report 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 and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals 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 (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not
 
 
Exh. C-11

 
 
de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) criminal acts by the Mortgagor or guarantor resulting in the seizure or forfeiture of all or part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) Mortgagor’s commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.
 
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, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% 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 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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, 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 (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less
 
 
Exh. C-12

 
 
than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).
 
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 REMIC Provisions.
 
30.         Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.  Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.
 
31.         Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination 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 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, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C.
 
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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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

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.  Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $30 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 and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $10 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 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 be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which
 
 
Exh. C-14

 
 
payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (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 clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee 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 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 the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.
 
36.         Ground Leases.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating 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, comprising the premises demised under such lease 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:
 
  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 and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.  No material 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 and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action
 
 
Exh. C-15

 
 
without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns, provided that lender has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;
 
  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 either (i) 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 and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;
 
  E.           Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);
 
  F.           The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
 
  G.           The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;
 
  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;
 
 
Exh. C-16

 
 
  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 the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;
 
  J.           Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a 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 of each Mortgage Loan complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and in accordance with customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.
 
38.         Origination and Underwriting.  The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.
 
39.         Rent Rolls; Operating Histories.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality or single tenant 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
 
 
Exh. C-17

 
 
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.
 
40.         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 in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off 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 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 this Exhibit C. 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.
 
41.         Bankruptcy.  As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
 
42.         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”).  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 regarding any bankruptcies, any felony convictions in accordance with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis or NCO, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies, any felony convictions, in accordance with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization.  ((1) and (2) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”).  Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, no Controlling Owner or guarantor (i) was in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Registered Certificates to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”) and Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays” and, together with WFS in such capacity, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National
 
 
 

 
 
Association and the Underwriters.  The Purchaser intends to sell the Non-Registered Certificates to WFS, Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (collectively in such capacity, the “Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the Initial Purchasers.  The Certificates are more fully described in (a) that certain prospectus supplement dated March 4, 2015 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Prospectus Supplement”), relating to the Registered Certificates, which is a supplement to that certain base prospectus, dated January 28, 2015 (the “Base Prospectus” and, together with the Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus”) and (b) that certain private placement memorandum, dated March 4, 2015 (together with all annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Private Placement Memorandum”), relating to the Non-Registered Certificates, as each may be amended or supplemented at any time hereafter.

The Mortgage Loan Seller and Liberty Island Group hereby acknowledge that Liberty Island Group, as owner of a direct interest in the Mortgage Loan Seller, will benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Purchaser is not willing to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without the agreement by Liberty Island Group to the terms hereof.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
Section 1.          Agreement to Purchase.  The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Mortgage Loans.  The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on March 12, 2015 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”).  As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans will have an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on the Mortgage Loans, if any, on or before such date, whether or not received, of $118,064,001, subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%.  The purchase price for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount set forth on the cross receipt between the Mortgage Loan

Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible).  The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.
 
Section 2.          Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.  (a)  Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and Liberty Island Group’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files.  Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).  The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
 
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
 
(b)           The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the

Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(c)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
 
(i)           the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has

been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or
 
(ii)           the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File;
 
provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that no such document or instrument is required to be delivered with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan other than the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan).  For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of
 
 
-5-

 
 
“Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
 
(d)           As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Mortgage Loan Seller, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Each such assignment of a loan document shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer).  Except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, as contemplated above; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
 
(e)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) as of the Closing Date:  (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned to it in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(d) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports,

engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC® Financial File and CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)           Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller.  In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
 
(g)           The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
 
Section 3.          Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.  The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law

(g)           Each Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Replacement Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.  For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution.  From and after the date of substitution, each Replacement Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.  A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
(h)           It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
 
Section 5.          Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.  (a) The Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by either Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by either Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of

Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and (y) a Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall, within 90 days after discovery by such Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if either Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of either Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of
 
 
-10-

 
 
the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Parties to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Responsible Repurchase Parties performing their obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Responsible Repurchase Parties and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Responsible Repurchase Parties to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Responsible Repurchase Parties may elect, in their sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)          the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
 
 
-11-

 
 
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
(B)           all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(i)          the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)         the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)        the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).

With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Purchaser agree to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and the second and third sentences of the preceding paragraph shall be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.
 
(b)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Parties as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Responsible Repurchase Parties shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
 
(c)           The Responsible Repurchase Parties shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Parties, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Parties, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Borrowers of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by a Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and such Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party.
 
(d)           It is understood and agreed that, subject to the next paragraph, the obligations of the Responsible Repurchase Parties set forth in this Section 5 to cure a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, or to repurchase or replace or make a Loss of Value Payment in respect of the related Defective Mortgage Loan(s), as the case may be, constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to a Breach or Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan; provided that this limitation shall not in any way limit the Purchaser’s rights or remedies upon breach of any representation or warranty or covenant by either Responsible Repurchase Party set forth in this Agreement (other than those set forth in Exhibit C).
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (but only to the extent) that (A) the Mortgage Loan Seller specifically represents in the representations and warranties set forth in

EXHIBIT C
 
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein).  All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.           Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.           Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.           Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.
 
 
Exh. C-3

 
 
8.           Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent: (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.           Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.           Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.           Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.           Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-8

 
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.           Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.           No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage 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 with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.           Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-10

 
 
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 de minimis fees paid.
 
26.           Local Law Compliance.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based 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, a survey, 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, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property.  In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, or (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.
 
27.           Licenses and Permits.  Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental 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, zoning consultant’s report 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 and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals 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 (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not
 
 
Exh. C-11

 
 
de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) criminal acts by the Mortgagor or guarantor resulting in the seizure or forfeiture of all or part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) Mortgagor’s commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.
 
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, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% 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 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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, 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 (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less
 
 
Exh. C-12

 
 
than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).
 
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 REMIC Provisions.
 
30.           Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.  Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.
 
31.           Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination 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 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, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C.
 
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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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
 
 
Exh. C-13

 
 
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 or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 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, as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 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.  Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $30 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 and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $10 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 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 be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which
 
 
Exh. C-14

 
 
payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (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 clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee 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 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 the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.
 
36.           Ground Leases.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating 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, comprising the premises demised under such lease 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:
 
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 and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.  No material 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 and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action
 
 
Exh. C-15

 
 
without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns, provided that lender has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;
 
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 either (i) 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 and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;
 
E.           Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);
 
F.           The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
 
G.          The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;
 
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;
 
 
Exh. C-16

 
 
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 the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;
 
J.           Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a 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

Exh. C-18

 
 
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 identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if 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) an amount 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 or controlled 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, 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 date hereof, and, if 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 “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, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.
 
In the case of each Mortgage Loan set forth on Exhibit C-43-1, (i) such Mortgage Loan is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer set forth on Exhibit C-43-1 (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (ii) as of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and the Trustee will within 60 days following the Closing Date be a named insured under such policy either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such policy, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, (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
 
 
Exh. C-19

 
 
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 closing of the Mortgage Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, the Mortgage Loan Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following:  (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least three years beyond the maturity of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the related Anticipated Repayment Date).
 
44.           Lease Estoppels.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, the Mortgage Loan Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from the Mortgage Loan Seller’s underwriting).  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 (or such longer period as the Mortgage Loan Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization), and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, 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.
 
45.           Appraisal.  The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date.  The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, and (ii) 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.
 
46.           Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.
 
 
Exh. C-20

 
 
47.           Cross-Collateralization.  No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination.
 
48.           Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller.  Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan.  Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
 
49.           Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

(b)           The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to (1) the Mortgage Loans, (2) all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files, (3) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and (4) all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date); (iii) the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee of its interests in the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 16 hereof shall be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the
 
 
-3-

 
 
possession by the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage Notes with respect to the Mortgage Loans subject hereto from time to time and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” or possession by a purchaser or person designated by such secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law; and (v) notifications to, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, Persons holding such property, shall be deemed to be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.  The Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(c)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Custodian, (x) on or before the Closing Date, the Mortgage Note relating to each Mortgage Loan so assigned, endorsed to the Trustee or in blank as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note as specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File”) and (y) on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the remainder of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, any Additional Collateral (other than Reserve Funds and originals of Letters of Credit, which shall be transferred to the Master Servicer) for each Mortgage Loan.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Mortgage Loan Seller cannot or does not so deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan:
 
(i)           the original or a copy of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iii), (vii) and (ix)(A) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, with evidence of recording or filing (if applicable, and as the case may be) thereon, solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller or title agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing (and, in the case of such clause (ii), accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent to the effect that such original Mortgage has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File; or
 
(ii)          the original of any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (iv) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, because such document or instrument has been delivered for recording or filing, as the case may be, then, so long as
 
 
-4-

 
 
a copy of such document or instrument, certified by the Mortgage Loan Seller, a title agent or a recording or filing agent as being a copy of the document deposited for recording or filing and accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate of the Mortgage Loan Seller or a statement from the title agent that such document or instrument has been sent to the appropriate public recording official for recordation (except that such copy and certification shall not be required if the Custodian is responsible for recordation of such document or instrument under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered the original unrecorded document or instrument to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date), has been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date that is 45 days following the Closing Date, the delivery requirements of this subsection shall be deemed to have been satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to have been included in the related Mortgage File;
 
provided, however, that in each case the Mortgage Loan Seller shall nonetheless (1) from time to time make or cause to be made reasonably diligent efforts to obtain such document or instrument (with such evidence) if it is not returned within a reasonable period after the date when it was transmitted for recording and (2) deliver such document or instrument to the Custodian (if such document or instrument is not otherwise returned to the Custodian) promptly upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt thereof; and provided, further, that it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that no such document or instrument is required to be delivered with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan other than the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.
 
In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan).  For purposes of this Section 2(c), the relevant definition of “Mortgage File” shall be the definition of such term set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in full force and effect on the Closing Date.
 
In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan Nos. 42, 56 and 57 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisors (with a copy to the Master Servicer) that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust and, within a commercially reasonable period after the
 
 
-5-

 
 
end of such 45-day period, obtain a replacement comfort letter in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.
 
(d)           As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 45 days, after the later of (i) the Closing Date (or in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted as contemplated by Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related date of substitution) and (ii) the date on which all recording information necessary to complete the subject document is received by the Mortgage Loan Seller, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller is required to complete (or cause to be completed), to the extent necessary, and shall submit (or cause to be submitted) for recording or filing, as the case may be, including via electronic means, if appropriate, in or with the appropriate office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as applicable, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Each such assignment of a loan document shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee (who shall deliver each such assignment to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and provide such copy to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer).  Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any assignment or other instrument of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with recording and/or filing any and all assignments and other instruments of transfer with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are required to be recorded or filed, as the case may be, as contemplated above; provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be responsible for costs and expenses that the related Borrowers have agreed to pay.
 
(e)           In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller’s assignment pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, the following items, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to the note(s) and allonge(s) evidencing such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) as of the Closing Date:  (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment will be delivered by the Custodian when the originals are returned or delivered, as applicable, to it in accordance with the
 
 
-6-

 
 
requirements of Section 2(d) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination(s) and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loans (provided that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of the Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans.  In addition, not later than the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall provide to the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan that is necessary for the preparation of the initial CREFC® Financial File and CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File required to be delivered by the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
(f)           Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and for federal income tax purposes, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall report its transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, as a sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser in exchange for the consideration specified in Section 1 hereof.  In connection with the foregoing, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause all of its records to reflect such transfer as a sale (as opposed to a secured loan) and to reflect that the Mortgage Loans are no longer property of the Mortgage Loan Seller.  In no event shall the Mortgage Loan Seller take any action that is inconsistent with the Trust’s ownership of each Mortgage Loan following the Closing Date.
 
(g)           The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.
 
Section 3.          Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any examination of the Mortgage Files for, and any other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, that may be undertaken by or on behalf of the Purchaser on or before the Closing Date.  The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of any of the Mortgage Files for, and/or any of such other documents and records relating to, the Mortgage Loans, shall not affect the Purchaser’s right to pursue any remedy available in equity or at law

for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4, except as expressly set forth in Section 5.
 
Section 4.          Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser.  (a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (and, in connection with any replacement of a Defective Mortgage Loan (as defined in Section 4(g) hereof) with one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans (also as defined in Section 4(g) hereof), pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof, as of the related date of substitution), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-1.  The Purchaser hereby makes, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Seller, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B-2.
 
(b)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, subject to the exceptions set forth in Schedule C.  The Mortgage Loan Seller is also referred to herein as the “Responsible Repurchase Party”.
 
(c)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the Closing Date, to and for the benefit of the Purchaser only, that the Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person (other than the Depositor or an affiliate thereof, the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale to the Purchaser of the Mortgage Loans.
 
(d)           The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Loan Seller’s role as “originator” (or the role of any third party as “originator” of any Mortgage Loan for which the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) and “sponsor” in connection with the issuance of the Registered Certificates, the information regarding the Mortgage Loans, the related Borrowers, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the Mortgage Loan Seller contained in the Prospectus Supplement complies in all material respects with the applicable disclosure requirements of Regulation AB as in effect on the date hereof and for which compliance is required as of the date hereof.  As used herein, “Regulation AB” means Subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1125, as such rules may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been or may hereafter be from time to time provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or by the staff of the Commission, in each case as effective from time to time as of the compliance dates specified therein.
 
(e)           [Reserved.]
 
(f)           If a Mortgage Loan Seller requires the Master Servicer to retain any Servicing Function Participant to service any one or more Mortgage Loans (each, a “Designated Mortgage Loan”) as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller (i) represents and warrants that it has caused such Servicing Function Participant to be required to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between such Servicing Function Participant and the Mortgage Loan
 
 
-8-

 
 
Seller (or between such Servicing Function Participant and either the Purchaser or the Master Servicer, and as to which the Seller is a third party beneficiary), with all reporting requirements set forth in Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for such Designated Mortgage Loan(s) (the “Applicable PSA Reporting Requirements”), for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and (ii) covenants with the Purchaser that, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended, it shall cause such Servicing Function Participant that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply with all the Applicable PSA Reporting Requirements; provided, however that the foregoing shall not apply to any party so retained by the Master Servicer whose status as a Servicing Function Participant is based on (i) any modification, waiver or amendment entered into after the Closing Date related to the obligations of any such party so retained by the Master Servicer to the extent not consented to by the Seller or (ii) the Servicing Function Participant’s activities with respect to any mortgage loan in the Trust Fund that is not a Designated Mortgage Loan.
 
(g)           The Responsible Repurchase Party hereby agrees that it shall be deemed to make to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, as of the date of substitution, with respect to any replacement Mortgage Loan (a “Replacement Mortgage Loan”) that is substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.  For purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit C, representations and warranties made as of the Closing Date or as of the Cut-off Date shall, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, be made as of the date of substitution.  From and after the date of substitution, each Replacement Mortgage Loan, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a “Mortgage Loan” hereunder for all purposes.  A “Defective Mortgage Loan” is any Mortgage Loan as to which there is an unremedied Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
(h)           It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in or made pursuant to this Section 4 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Purchaser or its designee and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement or assignment.
 
Section 5.          Notice of Breach; Cure, Repurchase and Substitution.  (a) The Responsible Repurchase Party shall, not later than 90 days from discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or the receipt by the Responsible Repurchase Party of notice, of any Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is, or as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code and (y) the Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) the Responsible Repurchase Party shall, within 90 days after discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that
 
 
-9-

 
 
if the Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was, a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that the Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement not less than 90 days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that the Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”), then the Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount.  The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Party to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of the Mortgage Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the Mortgage Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)          the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
 
-11-

 
 
(B)          all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(i)          the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)         the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)        the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Purchaser agree to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its

remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

Exh. B-2-1

 
 
EXHIBIT C
 
MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
For purposes of this Exhibit C, the phrase the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth below, the actual state of knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth below in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth herein).  All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File, as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge.
 
The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.           Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.           Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.           Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.
 
 
Exh. C-3

 
 
8.           Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent:  (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.           Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.           Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.           Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.           Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-8

 
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.           Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.           No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable 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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).  All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.
 
23.           Compliance with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.           Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.
 
 
Exh. C-10

 
 
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 de minimis fees paid.
 
26.           Local Law Compliance.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based 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, a survey, 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, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property.  In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, or (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.
 
27.           Licenses and Permits.  Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental 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, zoning consultant’s report 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 and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals 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 (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor
 
 
Exh. C-11

 
 
(which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect):  (i) Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) criminal acts by the Mortgagor or guarantor resulting in the seizure or forfeiture of all or part of the Mortgaged Property; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) Mortgagor’s commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.
 
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, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% 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 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), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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.
 
 
Exh. C-12

 
 
In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower, 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 is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).
 
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 REMIC Provisions.
 
30.           Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls.  Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.
 
31.           Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination 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 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, or as otherwise indicated on Schedule C.
 
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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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 or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Exhibit C-32-2 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, as set forth on Exhibit C-32-3 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.  Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $30 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 and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance equal to $10 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 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 be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-14

 
 
Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (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 clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee 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 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 the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.
 
36.           Ground Leases.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating 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, comprising the premises demised under such lease 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 Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:
 
(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 and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.  No material 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;
 
 
Exh. C-15

 
 
(B)           The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee 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, provided that lender has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;
 
(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 either (i) 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 and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;
 
(E)           Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid), 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 (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);
 
(F)           The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
 
(G)           The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(K)           In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a 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 of each Mortgage Loan complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and in accordance with customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.
 
38.           Origination and Underwriting.  The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit C.

40.           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 in the prior 12 months (or since origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), and as of Cut-off 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 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 this Exhibit C. 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.

In the case of each Mortgage Loan set forth on Exhibit C-43-1, (i) such Mortgage Loan is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer set forth on Exhibit C-43-1 (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (ii) as of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and the Trustee will within 60 days following the Closing Date be a named insured under such policy either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such policy, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, (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

44.           Lease Estoppels.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, the Mortgage Loan Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from the Mortgage Loan Seller’s underwriting).  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 (or such longer period as the Mortgage Loan Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization), and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, 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.
 
45.           Appraisal.  The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date.  The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Seller, and (ii) 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.
 
46.           Mortgage Loan Schedule.  The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to this Mortgage Loan
 
 
Exh. C-20

 
 
Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.
 
47.           Cross-Collateralization.  No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination.
 
48.           Advance of Funds by the Mortgage Loan Seller.  Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan.  Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
 
49.           Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

Seller and the Purchaser dated the Closing Date (which price reflects no deduction for any transaction expenses for which the Mortgage Loan Seller is responsible).  The Purchaser shall pay such purchase price to the Mortgage Loan Seller on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds or by such other method as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties hereto.
 
Section 2.          Conveyance of the Mortgage Loans.  (a)  Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof and the other conditions to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s and Basis Investment’s obligations set forth herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, representation or warranty, other than as set forth herein, all of the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files.  Such assignment includes all scheduled payments of principal and interest under and proceeds of the Mortgage Loans received after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of interest and principal due on or before their respective Cut-off Dates, which shall belong and be promptly remitted to the Mortgage Loan Seller) together with all documents delivered or caused to be delivered hereunder with respect to such Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller (including all documents included in the related Mortgage Files and Servicing Files and any related Additional Collateral).  The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans after their respective Cut-off Dates, and all other recoveries of principal and interest collected thereon after their respective Cut-off Dates (other than scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates and collected after such respective Cut-off Dates or, in the case of Replacement Mortgage Loans (if any), due on or prior to the related date of substitution and collected after such date, in each case, which shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller).
 
After the Mortgage Loan Seller’s transfer of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, as provided herein, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not take any action inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Mortgage Loans.  Except for actions that are the express responsibility of another party hereunder or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and further except for actions that the Mortgage Loan Seller is expressly permitted to complete subsequent to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, take all actions required under applicable law to effectuate the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.
 
(b)           The conveyance of the Mortgage Loans and the related rights and property accomplished hereby is intended by the parties hereto to constitute a sale by the Mortgage Loan Seller of all the Mortgage Loan Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans and such other related rights and property by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Purchaser.  Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for a loan.  If such conveyance is determined to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, then:  (i) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law; (ii) the Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser, and in any event, the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of the Mortgage Loan

In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder.  Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the

In addition, with respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan No. 50 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 30 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisors (with a copy to the Master Servicer) that such Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trust and obtain a replacement comfort letter in substantially the same form as the existing comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) in favor of the Trust.

(g)           The Mortgage Loan Schedule, as it may be amended from time to time, shall conform to the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller shall, within 15 days of its discovery or receipt of notice of any error on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, amend such Mortgage Loan Schedule and deliver to the Purchaser or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended Mortgage Loan Schedule; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to relieve the Mortgage Loan Seller of any liability for any related Breach.

Document Defect or knowledge of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect.  If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this subsection, the Purchaser or its designee shall be entitled to designate the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired.  Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis.  Notwithstanding this subsection, the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date (except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates any such absence or non-conformity or irregularity) shall be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the Responsible Repurchase Party to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, replace or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a), in lieu of Basis Investment performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect provided in the preceding paragraph, to the extent that Basis Investment and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, Basis Investment and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by Basis Investment to the Purchaser that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for a Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), Basis Investment may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser; provided that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage”, within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.  Upon its making such payment, Basis Investment shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in all respects.  Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, and Basis Investment shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.
 
The remedies provided for in this subsection with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.
 
If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the Responsible Repurchase Party shall
 
 
-11-

 
 
be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:
 
(A)        the Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 5(a) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
 
(B)         all of the following conditions would be satisfied if the Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:
 
(i)           the debt service coverage ratio for all such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;
 
(ii)          the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a percentage (taken to one decimal place) for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and
 
(iii)         the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any such Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the Responsible Repurchase Party to (in which case the Responsible Repurchase Party shall) cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for
 
 
-12-

 
 
purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (ii) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).
 
With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the Responsible Repurchase Party and the Purchaser agree to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee.  If the exercise of remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties shall forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with this Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.  Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans in a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances.  All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.
 
All costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and the second and third sentences of the preceding paragraph shall be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Affected Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced.
 
(b)           Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by the Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Responsible Repurchase Party shall deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 5 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund.  Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each
 
 
-13-

 
 
corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Responsible Repurchase Party promptly following receipt.
 
If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5, upon direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) and deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
 
(c)           The Responsible Repurchase Party shall be entitled, and the Purchaser shall cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to entitle the Responsible Repurchase Party, upon the date when the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 5 has been deposited in the account designated therefor by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee) and, if applicable, receipt by the Trustee as the assignee of the Purchaser (or the Custodian) of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to this Section 5 to be delivered by the Responsible Repurchase Party, to (i) a release of the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, (ii) the execution and delivery of such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be prepared by the Responsible Repurchase Party and are reasonably necessary to vest in the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of such Deleted Mortgage Loan, and (iii) the execution and delivery of notice to the affected Borrower of the retransfer of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.  In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the Responsible Repurchase Party, the Purchaser shall also cause the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to require each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to deliver to the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee, and the Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee shall be entitled to delivery from the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of, any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of the Responsible Repurchase Party.
 
(d)           It is understood and agreed that, subject to the next paragraph, the obligations of the Responsible Repurchase Party set forth in this Section 5 to cure a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, or to repurchase or replace or make a Loss of Value Payment in respect of the related Defective Mortgage Loan(s), as the case may be, constitute the sole remedies available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to a Breach or Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan; provided that this limitation shall not in any way limit the Purchaser’s rights or remedies

The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Exceptions described on Schedule C to this Agreement.
 
1.             Complete Mortgage File.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the extent that the failure to deliver the same would constitute a “Material Document Defect” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan and (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, legal opinions and tenant estoppels in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loan, will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents.
 
2.             Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan.  At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller), participation or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.
 
 
Exh. C-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, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard 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 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, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.
 
5.             Hospitality Provisions.  The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon the Mortgage Loan Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement, which the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall provide, or if neither (A) nor (B) is applicable, the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall apply for, on the Trust’s behalf, a new comfort letter or similar agreement as of the Closing Date.  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.  For the avoidance of doubt, no
 
 
Exh. C-2

 
 
representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.
 
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 the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.
 
7.             Lien; Valid Assignment.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its Affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its Affiliate, as applicable.  Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.  Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.  Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, 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 bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title 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 the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications, subject to the limitations described in paragraph 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 to effect such perfection.
 
 
Exh. C-3

 
 
8.             Permitted Liens; Title Insurance.  Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien 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; (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, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of which clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”).  For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.  Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage.  Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and 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, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances.  The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Exhibit C-32-1.
 
 
Exh. C-4

 
 
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).  Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, 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 Standard Qualifications.  The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may 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.  Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mortgagor and necessary to operate such 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.  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 to effect such perfection.
 
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 six 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 by a third party engineering consultant in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon the due diligence customarily performed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and except as set forth in such engineering report or property condition report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, (a) all major building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and (b) each related Mortgaged Property (i) is free of any material damage, and (ii) is in good repair and condition, and (iii) is free of patent and observable structural defects, except, as to all statements in clauses (a) and (b) above, to the extent: (x) any damage or deficiencies would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies are estimated to not exceed 5% of the original principal balance of the Mortgage
 
 
Exh. C-5

 
 
Loan; (y) such repairs have been completed; or (z) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs.
 
To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on the engineering report or property condition assessment and the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), there are no issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Mortgage Loan Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or Servicing File and those addressed in sub-clauses (x), (y), and (z) of the preceding sentence.
 
13.           Taxes and Assessments.  As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, 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 could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due 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 charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon.  For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
 
14.           Condemnation.  As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.
 
15.           Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s 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 current marketability 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.
 
 
Exh. C-6

 
 
16.           Escrow Deposits.  All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with lender 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 delinquencies (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 the Depositor or its servicer.  Any and all material 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 the 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 the Mortgage Loan Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases 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, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.
 
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 Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) 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 Mortgagor 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.
 
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 (except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances), which (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months), or a specified dollar amount which, in the reasonable judgment of the Mortgage Loan Seller, will cover no less than
 
 
Exh. C-7

 
 
12 months (18 months for Mortgage Loans with a principal balance of $35 million or more) of rental income; (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 during the time period, or up to the specified dollar amount, set forth in clause (i) above.
 
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 for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 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 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 similar commercial and multifamily loans intended 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 seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake.  In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, which correlates to a 10% probability of exceedance in an exposure period of 50 years.  If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.
 
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
 
 
Exh. C-8

 
 
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 that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents 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.  Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee.  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.
 
19.           Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels.  Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, the Sponsor Diligence (as defined in paragraph 42), and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate 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 or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), 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 parcels are created.
 
20.           No Encroachments.  To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property:  (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 for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for
 
 
Exh. C-9

 
 
encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable 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 (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) 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 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 was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) 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 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 (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 was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto.  Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).  All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.
 
23.           Compliance with Usury Laws.  The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.
 
24.           Authorized to do Business.  To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off 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 by the Trust.

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 (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) 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 prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, 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

20

 
 
which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder, or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties.  The Primary Servicer and any officer, employee or agent of the Primary Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind conforming to the requirements of this Agreement for the truth and accuracy of the contents of that document (and as to certificates and opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, for the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder.  The Primary Servicer shall not 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 duties under this Agreement or which, in its opinion may involve it in any ultimate expenses or liability; provided, however, the Primary Servicer may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto.  In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom, to the extent the same are expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Master Servicer upon written demand.  To the extent provided in Section 6.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Primary Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, or expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust, other than any loss, liability or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by the Primary Servicer, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with a legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by the Primary Servicer herein, or (iii) incurred in connection with a legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Primary Servicer’s obligations or duties hereunder, or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations or duties.  The Primary Servicer shall not have any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer as described above and, in each case, to the full extent that the Master Servicer is permitted to indemnification from the Trust Fund under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

21

 
 
would result in an Adverse REMIC Event, the Primary Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make the determination for purposes of this paragraph.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Primary Servicer pursuant to clause (b) shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.05     No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing.
 
With respect to the responsibility of the Primary Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Primary Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Primary Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Primary Servicer shall not either assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Primary Servicer may transfer and assign this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Primary Servicer so long as the conditions described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of the second paragraph of Section 3.02 of this Agreement are satisfied in connection with such transfer and assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Primary Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Primary Servicing Rights”), the Primary Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the purchase of such Primary Servicing Rights. The Primary Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Primary Servicer.
 
Section 3.06     Indemnification.
 
The Master Servicer and the Primary Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their partners, directors, officers, employees or agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer, in the case of the Primary Servicer, and the Primary Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer, may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent
 
 
22

 
 
disregard by the Master Servicer or Primary Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided, that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages.  Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice.  This Section 3.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Primary Servicer.

(k)           any other event caused by the Primary Servicer which creates a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or

(m)           the failure of the Primary Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Primary Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports, certificates or disclosure information under the Exchange Act or under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, at the time such report, certification or information is required under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
 
If any Primary Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Primary Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer or, in the case of a Primary Servicer Termination Event described in Section 4.01(m) of this Agreement, the Depositor, may terminate, by notice in writing to the Primary Servicer and, in the case of a termination by the Depositor, to the Master Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Primary Servicer as Primary Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Primary Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Primary Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Primary Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Primary Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Primary Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Primary Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Primary Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within three (3) Business Days to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Primary Servicer to the Primary Servicer Collection Account, the Collection Account, any Servicing Account, any REO Account and any Reserve Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Primary Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).
 
If any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute a Primary Servicer Termination Event under Section 4.01(j) of this Agreement, so long as no other Primary Servicer Termination Event has occurred, then the Primary Servicer may, subject to the terms of Section 3.05 of this Agreement, sell its Primary Servicing Rights prior to the time at which such event (due to the giving of notice and/or the passage of time) constitutes a Primary Servicer Termination Event.
 
In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, if the Primary Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer any amounts when required to be remitted
 
 
25

 
 
hereunder, the Primary Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer interest on the amount of such late remittance at the Reimbursement Rate, applied on a per diem basis for each day such remittance is late (i.e., said per annum rate divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days late); but in no event shall such interest be greater than the maximum amount permitted by law.
 
Section 4.02     Waiver of Defaults.
 
The Master Servicer may waive any default by the Primary Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Primary Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
 
Section 4.03     Other Remedies of Master Servicer.
 
During the continuance of any Primary Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Primary Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Primary Servicer Termination Event.

or duties hereunder, or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Sub-Servicer shall not have any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer as described above.
 
For the purposes of indemnification of the Sub-Servicer and limitation of liability, the Sub-Servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misfeasance or committed bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations or duties or acted in negligent disregard or other disregard of its respective obligations or duties hereunder if the Sub-Servicer, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents because the Master Servicer in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would conflict with the REMIC Provisions of the Code and potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event.  If at any time the Sub-Servicer thinks that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event, the Sub-Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make the determination for purposes of this paragraph.
 
Section 3.04     Sub-Servicer Not to Resign.
 
The Sub-Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except by mutual consent of the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer and payment by the Sub-Servicer of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Master Servicer in connection with such resignation and transfer of servicing, or upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by the Sub-Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Sub-Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Master Servicer, which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.
 
Section 3.05     No Transfer or Assignment of Servicing.
 
With respect to the responsibility of the Sub-Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans hereunder, the Sub-Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer has acted in reliance upon the Sub-Servicer’s independent status, the adequacy of its servicing facilities, plant, personnel, records and procedures, its integrity, reputation and financial standing and the continuance thereof. Without in any way limiting the generality of this Section 3.05, the Sub-Servicer shall not either assign or transfer this Agreement or the servicing hereunder nor delegate its rights or duties hereunder or any portion thereof, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property or assets, without the prior written approval of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to any assignment or transfer by the Sub-Servicer of this Agreement or the servicing hereunder (the “Sub-Servicing Rights”), the Sub-Servicer shall allow the Master Servicer an opportunity to bid on the purchase of such Sub-Servicing Rights. The Sub-Servicer may also solicit bids from any other parties independent of the Sub-Servicer.  If after receipt by the Sub-Servicer of all bids, the Master Servicer is not the highest bidder, the Master Servicer will be given the opportunity to submit a second bid and final bid, which bid shall be given equal consideration with all other bids.
 
 
20

 
 
Section 3.06     Indemnification.
 
The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicer each agrees to and hereby does indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer (including any of their partners, directors, officers, employees or agents) from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that the Master Servicer, in the case of the Sub-Servicer, and the Sub-Servicer, in the case of the Master Servicer, may sustain arising from or as a result of any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, as applicable, in the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement or by reason of negligent disregard by the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, as applicable, of its duties and obligations hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided, that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages.  Each indemnified party hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnitor of matters which may give rise to liability of such indemnitor hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability except to the extent of actual prejudice.  Section 3.06 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer.

(h)           any other event caused by the Sub-Servicer which creates a Servicer Termination Event (or an event that with notice or the passage time would constitute or result in such a Servicer Termination Event) with respect to the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; or
 
(i)           any failure by the Sub-Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered by the Sub-Servicer to the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer hereunder or under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the time required hereunder or under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after any applicable grace periods; or
 
 
22

 
 
(j)           (A) the failure of the Sub-Servicer to comply with any of the requirements under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Sub-Servicer, including the failure to deliver any reports, certificates or disclosure information under the Exchange Act or under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act, at the time such report, certification or information is required under Article XI of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (B) the failure of the Sub-Servicer to comply with any requirements to deliver any items required by Items 1122 and 1123 of Regulation AB under any other pooling and servicing agreement relating to any other series of certificates for which the Depositor or an Affiliate is the depositor.
 
If any Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer or, in the case of a Sub-Servicer Termination Event described in Section 4.01(i) or (j) of this Agreement, the Depositor, may terminate, by notice in writing to the Sub-Servicer, and, in the case of a termination by the Depositor, to the Master Servicer, all of the rights and obligations of the Sub-Servicer as Sub-Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. From and after the receipt by the Sub-Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Sub-Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Master Servicer pursuant to and under Section 4.01 of this Agreement, and, without limitation, the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Sub-Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Sub-Servicer agrees that if it is terminated pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, it shall promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Master Servicer with all documents and records (including, without limitation, those in electronic form) requested by it to enable it to assume the Sub-Servicer’s functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of the Sub-Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder and the assumption by a successor of the Sub-Servicer’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within one (1) Business Day to the Master Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Sub-Servicer to the Sub-Servicer Custodial Account, the Collection Account, any Servicing Account and any Reserve Account, or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans (provided, however, that the Sub-Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, and it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.03 of this Agreement notwithstanding any such termination).
 
In addition to any other rights the Master Servicer may have hereunder, (A) if the Sub-Servicer fails to remit to the Master Servicer when due the total pool remittance required to be remitted under this Agreement (whether or not such failure constitutes a Sub-Servicer Termination Event), then interest shall accrue on the amount of the total pool remittance and the Sub-Servicer shall promptly pay such interest to the Master Servicer, at a per annum rate equal to the Reimbursement Rate from and including the date when such remittance was required to be

Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Sub-Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
 
Section 4.03     Other Remedies of Master Servicer.
 
During the continuance of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Sub-Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer, in addition to the rights specified in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall have the right, in its own name, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Sub-Servicer Termination Event.

Sub-Servicer:
 
RE: WFCM Series 2015-C27
 
Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement(s) between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and [Sub-Servicer], we certify with respect to each mortgage loan serviced by us for Wells Fargo Bank, National Association that, as of the quarter ending , except as otherwise noted below:
 
All taxes, assessments and other governmental charges levied against the mortgaged premises, ground rents payable with respect to the mortgaged premises, if any, which would be delinquent if not paid, have been paid.
 
Based on [Sub-Servicer’s] monitoring of the insurance in accordance with the Servicing Standard, all required insurance policies are in full force and effect on the mortgaged premises in the form and amount and with the coverage required by the Servicing Agreement(s).
