(a) All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from or on behalf of the Borrower Related Parties, any Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds shall, to the extent not inconsistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents (as modified by the Co-Lender Agreement to establish prioritization among the Notes), and in any event during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, be applied in the following order of priority:
first, as a recovery of any related and unreimbursed Property Protection Advances plus interest accrued thereon and, if applicable, other unreimbursed Trust Fund Expenses (excluding interest on Administrative Advances, Monthly Interest Payment Advances and Companion Loan Advances);
second, to make (without duplication) payments of interest, principal and reimbursements of any other costs, expenses, advances and losses on the Trust Notes and the Companion Loan Note(s) in the amounts and order of priority provided in the Co-Lender Agreement; provided, that for purposes of determining distributions on the Certificates any Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds on the Mortgage Loan or Property that would be so allocated as interest and principal on the Trust Notes will be applied to the Trust Notes in the following amounts and order:
(i) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest first, on the Senior Trust Notes, and then, on the Junior Trust Notes, in that order, in each case to the extent of the excess, if any, of (1) accrued and unpaid interest at the respective Interest Rates (without giving effect to any increase in any such interest rates required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement as a result of a default under the Trust Loan) to, but not including, the date of receipt by or on behalf of the Trust (or, in the case of a full Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount from or on the behalf of the Borrower Related Parties, for the related Mortgage Loan Interest Accrual Period), over (2) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Interest Payment Advances for the Trust Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 3.23(a) in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to subclause (iii) of this clause second on earlier dates);
(ii) as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of the Trust Loan following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default (or, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance), with any such recovery of principal to be applied, in the following order: (1) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Trust Notes; and (2) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes; and
75 |
(iii) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest first, on the Senior Trust Notes, and then, on the Junior Trust Notes, in that order, in each case to the extent of the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the interest portion of the related Monthly Interest Payment Advances for the Trust Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 3.23(a) in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts (to the extent collections have not been applied as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this subclause (iii) on earlier dates);
third, as a recovery of amounts to be currently applied to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments, ground rent and insurance premiums and similar items;

provided, that, to the extent required under the REMIC Provisions, if any payments or proceeds are received with respect to any release of a Property or any partial release of a Property (including following a condemnation) and if, immediately following such release, the loan-to-value ratio of the Trust Loan (excluding the value of personal property and going concern value, if any) exceeds 125%, then such payments or proceeds shall be allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Trust Loan in the manner permitted by such REMIC Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, the application of amounts collected above in this paragraph shall not affect the allocations under the Co-Lender Agreement.
In connection with the foregoing, if the terms of the Mortgage Loan are modified (x) by the Special Servicer in connection with a work-out or proposed work-out of the Mortgage Loan or (y) otherwise as part of a bankruptcy or other proceeding, such that (i) the Mortgage Loan principal balance is decreased, (ii) the applicable interest rate on the Mortgage Loan is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, then all payments
76 |
and other collections with respect to the Trust Loan will be deemed applied (for purposes of making distributions on the Certificates) as though such work-out did not occur, with the payment terms of the Trust Loan and each related Trust Note remaining the same as they are on the Closing Date, and (for purposes of making distributions on the Certificates and allocating Realized Losses to the Principal Balance Certificates) the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such work-out shall be borne by the respective Notes in a manner consistent with the payment priorities set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.
(b) Collections by or on behalf of the holders of the Notes in respect of each Foreclosed Property (exclusive of amounts to be applied to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such Foreclosed Property) shall be applied to the amounts due and owing on the Mortgage Loan (which shall be deemed to remain outstanding) in the following order of priority (and for the following purposes):

(i) as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest first, on the Senior Trust Notes, and then, on the Junior Trust Notes, in that order, in each case to the extent of the excess of (1) accrued and unpaid interest at the respective Interest Rates (without giving effect to any increase in any such interest rates required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement as a result of a default under the Trust Loan) through the end of the related Mortgage Loan Interest Accrual Period corresponding to the Payment Date in the Collection Period in which such collections were received, over (2) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of the Monthly Interest Payment Advances for the Trust Loan that have theretofore occurred under Section 3.23(a) in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts (to the extent that collections have not been applied as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to subclause (iii) of this clause second or subclause (iii) of clause second of Section 1.3(a) on earlier dates);
(ii) as a recovery of principal of the Trust Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance, with any such recovery of principal to be applied, in the following order: (1) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Trust Notes; and (ii) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes;
77 |

fifth, as a recovery of any Default Interest then deemed to be due and owing under the Mortgage Loan; and
sixth, as a recovery of any other amounts (including Operating Advisor Consulting Fees) deemed to be due and owing in respect of the Mortgage Loan.
(c) All net present value calculations and determinations made under this Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan, the Companion Loan(s), the Property or Foreclosed Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Accepted Servicing Practices”) shall be made using a discount rate the Special Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices is appropriate for the type of cash flows being discounted; namely (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan or the Companion Loan(s), or the sale of the Mortgage Loan, the Trust Loan or any Companion Loan if it is a defaulted loan the highest of (1) the rate determined by the Special Servicer that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the Borrowers on similar debt of the Borrowers as of such date of determination, (2) the applicable weighted average Interest Rate on the Trust Loan Components, and (3) the current yield on 10-year United States treasuries and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal).

81 |
The parties hereto acknowledge that each Trust Loan Purchase Agreement provides that (1) each of the Mortgages, the Assignments of Mortgage, each other assignments of a Collateral Security Document (to the extent such documents are required to be recorded or filed) and UCC financing statements required to be part of the Mortgage Loan File shall be filed or recorded, as applicable, by the Loan Sellers (or a third party on their behalf) in the appropriate filing offices or record depositories, with instructions to return all such recorded documents, or other evidences of filing issued by the applicable governmental offices, to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian), with a copy to the Servicer, and (2) all recording fees relating to the initial recordation of such documents and/or instruments shall be paid or caused to be paid by the Loan Sellers. In the event that any such document is determined to be defective or not to be in compliance with the requirements of the applicable filing office or recording depository, or if any such document is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Loan Sellers are to promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute document, and shall cause each such document to be duly submitted for filing or recording, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(b), in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or other assignment of a Collateral Security Document, if applicable, after any such document has been recorded, the obligations of the Loan Sellers under their respective Trust Loan Purchase Agreements shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) of a copy of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or other assignment of a Collateral Security Document, if applicable, certified by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof.
The parties hereto acknowledge that each Loan Seller will be solely liable for the delivery of its Notes, and that all Loan Sellers will be liable for the delivery of the remaining documents and instruments constituting the Mortgage Loan File.
In the event that any letter of credit is delivered by the Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, each Loan Seller is required under the related Trust Loan Agreement to deliver, on or before the Delivery Date, the original of such letter of credit to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall hold the original of such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) and deliver a copy of such letter of credit to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian).
The ownership of the Trust Notes, the Mortgages, the Collateral Security Documents and all other contents of the Mortgage Loan File shall be vested in the Trust or the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, except for the Trust Notes, for the benefit of the Companion Loan Holder(s). The Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer agree to take no action inconsistent with the Trustee’s ownership of the Trust Loan and to promptly indicate to all inquiring parties that the Trust Loan has been sold and to claim no ownership interest in the Trust Loan. All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loan that are not delivered to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) are and shall be held by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (except the original Companion Loan Note(s) shall be held by the Companion Loan Holder(s) or their designees). In the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.1(b) to be a part of the
82 |
Mortgage Loan File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian).
2.2 Acceptance by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Trust Loan in good faith without notice of adverse claims and the Certificate Administrator declares that it holds and shall hold or shall cause to be held such documents as are delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Loan File (to the extent the documents constituting the Mortgage Loan File are actually delivered to it) in trust, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s).
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Certificate Administrator shall constitute certification by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee that (i) each original Trust Note specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan File” and all allonges thereto, if any, have been received by the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) (provided that any allonges specified in subclause (i)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan File” may be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) in electronic format on the Closing Date, with originals to follow within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date); and (ii) such original Trust Note has been reviewed by the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the applicable Borrower Related Party), (B) appears to have been executed and (C) purports to relate to the Trust Loan. The Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) agrees to review the Mortgage Loan File within 30 days after the Closing Date, and to deliver to the Loan Sellers, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a report certifying, subject to any exceptions found by it in such review, that (A) all documents referred to in Section 2.1(b) have been received, and (B) all documents appear to have been executed, appear on their face to be what they purport to be, purport to be recorded or filed (if and as applicable) and have not been torn, mutilated or otherwise defaced, and appear on their faces to relate to the Trust Loan specifically or to the Mortgage Loan. The Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) shall not have any responsibility for reviewing the Mortgage Loan File except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.2(b). The Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) shall not be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review, or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient, duly authorized, or appropriate for the represented purpose, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except to determine if the endorsement conforms to the requirements of Section 2.1(b)), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, to independently determine that any document has actually been filed or recorded in the appropriate office, that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face, or whether the title insurance policies relate to the Properties.
(c) Upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, the Loan Sellers, the Servicer and the Special Servicer a final exception report as to any remaining documents that are not in the Mortgage Loan File, whereupon, within 90 days, the Depositor shall either: (i) cause such document deficiency to be cured; or (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Loan Seller, as applicable to (1) repurchase such Loan Seller’s Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan (or the
83 |
allocable portion thereof) from the Trust or (2) make a Loss of Value Payment as described in Section 2.9 in respect of its Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan for losses directly related to such document deficiency, in each case pursuant to the applicable Trust Loan Purchase Agreement if such exception is a Material Document Defect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defect (except for (x) a Defect with respect to the related Notes, Mortgages, Assignments of Mortgage, title insurance policies, ground lease(s) (if any) or PILOT lease(s), which Defect shall be deemed to be a Material Document Defect, and (y) a Defect that causes the Trust Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which a Defect exists is required in connection with (A) an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the Trust Loan; (B) defending any claim asserted by the Borrower or third party with respect to the Trust Loan; (C) establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Trust Loan; or (D) any immediate significant servicing obligations. Also notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the failure to deliver UCC financing statements with respect to the Trust Loan shall not be considered a Material Document Defect. The Trust’s sole remedy against the Loan Sellers in connection with a Material Document Defect is to enforce the repurchase claim or Loss of Value Payment, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Loan Purchase Agreements.
The Certificate Administrator and the other parties to this Agreement hereby agree that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Loan File pursuant to this Section 2.2 by the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) is limited solely to confirming that the Mortgage Loan File has been received, the Mortgage Loan Documents comprising the Mortgage Loan File appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement. In addition, such review is in no way intended to, nor shall it be used to, verify the content of any collateral descriptions included in any data tapes and shall not otherwise directly or indirectly be reflected in any offering document. Any review of the Mortgage Loan File by the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as the Custodian) and any certification with respect thereto shall not be deemed by the parties to this Agreement to constitute “due diligence services” or a “third party due diligence report” as such terms are defined in Rule 17g-10 and 15Ga-2, respectively, under the Exchange Act. Any recipient of the Certificate Administrator’s certification or a copy thereof by its receipt thereof is deemed to agree, and each party to this Agreement hereby agrees, that it shall not share such certification with any NRSRO or any party not addressed on such certification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.2(c) shall relieve any party to this Agreement from its obligation to deliver information to the Rating Agencies as required under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) If the Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives or makes any request or demand for repurchase of the Trust Loan (or the allocable portion thereof) because of a breach of or alleged breach of a representation or warranty or a Defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (or such a Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Servicer or the Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request
84 |
(each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) to each other and to the Depositor and the Loan Sellers, in each case within ten (10) Business Days from such party’s receipt thereof. Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic means.

delivered, to the Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, all of the following: (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the splitting of the Trust Loan in connection with such partial repurchase, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such splitting of the Trust Loan in connection with such repurchase shall not cause (A) either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC, (B) the Trust Loan to fail to qualify as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, or (C) a tax to be imposed on the Trust, and (iii) such other documents, instruments and opinions as the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a partial repurchase by a Loan Seller of its Loan Portion pursuant to Section 8(c) of the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement shall not be permitted unless each other Loan Seller elects to do so and simultaneously repurchases an equivalent portion of its respective Loan Portion pursuant to Section 8(c) of each other Trust Loan Purchase Agreement. In the event of any repurchase by a Loan Seller of a portion of such Seller’s Loan Portion pursuant to Section 8(c) of the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement (and provided that each of the other Loan Sellers also repurchases an equivalent portion of such other Loan Seller’s Loan Portion and the portions of the Trust Loan so repurchased by all of the Loan Sellers collectively constitute a Severed Loan), the applicable Severed Loan shall no longer be serviced under this Agreement; provided, however, the remainder of the Trust Loan that was not repurchased will continue to be serviced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if there is a Material Breach or Material Document Defect with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Properties, the Loan Sellers will not be obligated to repurchase their respective Loan Seller Percentage Interests in the Trust Loan (or in a Severed Loan) if: (i) the affected Property or Properties may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the Mortgage Loan Documents (and such Property or Properties are in fact, released in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents); (ii) the Property or Properties remaining encumbered by the lien of the Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents; (iii) the Loan Sellers provide an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release would not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (iv) each Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such release; and (v) each Loan Seller shall reimburse the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust for such Loan Seller’s applicable Loan Seller Percentage Interest of any actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust, respectively, in connection with such partial release if and to the extent that such expenses are not reimbursed by the Borrowers.
(g) For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in the event that a Loan Seller is unable to satisfy, in all material respects, (i) the requirements of a partial repurchase set forth in Section 2.9(e) or (ii) the requirements of a partial release set forth in Section 2.9(f), then such Loan Seller will be required to repurchase such Loan Seller’s entire Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan or cure the related Material Breach or Material Document Defect or make a Loss of Value Payment to the Trust, in each case pursuant to the related Trust Loan Purchase Agreement.
97 |
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9, in lieu of a Loan Seller performing its obligations with respect to any Material Breach or Material Document Defect as set forth above, to the extent that such Loan Seller and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, are in any such case able to agree upon a cash payment payable by such Loan Seller to the Trust that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Trust for its Loan Seller Percentage Interest of the losses related to such Material Breach or Material Document Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), such Loan Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Trust, and 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 3.4(f) of this Agreement; provided that a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect that causes the Trust Loan to not constitute a Qualified Mortgage may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. If the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Servicer’s agreement with a Loan Seller as to any Loss of Value Payment shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Special Servicer (with the consent of any applicable Consenting Party). In connection with obtaining the Special Servicer’s approval, the Servicer shall upon request promptly provide the Special Servicer with a copy of the servicing file for the Trust Loan in order to enable the Special Servicer to exercise its approval right. Any agreement by the Special Servicer with a Loan Seller as to any Loss of Value Payment with respect to the Trust Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event exists shall be subject to the consent of any applicable Consenting Party. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such Loss of Value Payment, the related Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Breach or Material Document Defect on its part in all respects. Provided that such Loss of Value Payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders or the Trust against the related Loan Seller regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in respect of which such Loss of Value Payment is accepted, and the related Loan Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace its Loan Seller Percentage Interest in the Trust Loan or otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect.

The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as the case may be, each as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loan and any Foreclosed Property solely on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s), in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and such Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted one lender (as determined by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law (including the REMIC Provisions), the terms of this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement, any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the following standards (herein referred to as “Accepted Servicing Practices”): (i) the higher of (a) in the same manner in which and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, services and administers similar loans and administers foreclosed or other similarly situated properties for third-party portfolios, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial mortgage loan servicers in servicing mortgage loans and administering foreclosed properties, and (b) with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, uses for loans that it owns or for foreclosed or other similarly situated properties it services and manages, in either case exercising reasonable business judgment, acting in accordance with applicable laws; (ii) with a view to the timely collection of (a) all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loan or, if the Mortgage Loan comes into and continues in default and if, in
99 |
the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the collection of the delinquent payments, the maximization of the recovery on the Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) on a net present value basis and (b) the Borrower Reimbursable Trust Fund Expenses and, any other fees or expenses and any other amounts due under the Mortgage Loan; and (iii) without regard to:
(A) any relationship that the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may have with any Borrower Restricted Party, any Loan Seller, the Depositor, any Companion Loan Holder or any of their respective Affiliates;
(B) the ownership of any Certificate, Companion Loan or any mezzanine loan or any interest in any Companion Loan or any mezzanine loan by the Servicer or the Special Servicer or by any Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer;
(C) in the case of the Servicer, its obligation to make Advances;
(D) the right of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof to receive reimbursement of costs, compensation or other fees (other than Advances), or the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it under this Agreement or with respect to any particular transaction; or
(E) the ownership, servicing or management for others of any other loans or property by the Servicer or the Special Servicer.
Subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more sub-servicers as provided in Section 3.2, 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. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with applicable state and federal law. At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not without the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, prior written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.
100 |
The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as the Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability of the Mortgage Loan. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to impose liability on the Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason (unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer did not act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of the Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is made by the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement is less than the amount reflected in such determination.
As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but no later than 30 days following the Closing Date, the Loan Seller is required, pursuant to the Trust Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to the Servicer copies of notices delivered by or on behalf of the Loan Seller regarding the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust or the Trustee on its behalf; provided, that notice to the related lessor under any PILOT Lease shall be delivered by the Servicer as contemplated by the succeeding paragraph.
In connection with each PILOT Lease, the Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within 60 days following the later of Closing Date and the date on which the Servicer receives such PILOT Lease, notify the related lessor in writing of the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such lessor that any notices of default under such PILOT Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Servicer. In addition, if the Servicer or the Special Servicer receives any modification of any PILOT Lease or any documents evidencing the termination of any PILOT Lease, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide such modification or documents to each other and to the 17g 5 Information Provider, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Servicer and the Special Servicer are each acting as independent contractors and not as agents for the Trustee and/or the Certificate Administrator.
3.2 Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a) The Servicer or Special Servicer, at its own expense without a right of reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Mortgage Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in servicing the Mortgage Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Each sub-servicer shall be (x) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (y) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
101 |
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for deposit in the Collection Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer or Special Servicer. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Borrower Parties, the Operating Advisor and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall cause each sub-servicing agreement to provide that no sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer or Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer or Special Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan.
(c) Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer or if the Servicer or Special Servicer is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer or Special Servicer if such successor Servicer or Special Servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer or Special Servicer, in each case without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, the Trust or the Trust Fund.
(d) Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer or Special Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Trust 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, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer or Special Servicer is permitted, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may (i) delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder (such as inspections and appraisals) to third parties or (ii) to an affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such
102 |
arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan as required hereby.
(f) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8. The Servicer shall on the Closing Date give written notice to the Certificate Administrator of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing prior to any subsequent change thereof.
(g) In addition to the foregoing, any sub-servicer engaged by the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall fulfill all of the requirements of the Special Servicer set forth under Sections 6.4(a)(i)(A), 6.4(a)(v), 6.4(a)(vi) and 6.4(a)(vii) hereof.

The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as a non-interest bearing Eligible Account, and may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account. On each Distribution Date occurring in any February and on any Distribution Date occurring in any January that occurs in a year that is not a leap year (unless, in either case, such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit into the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to one day’s net interest on the principal balance of each Trust Loan Note as of the related Payment Date occurring in the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, calculated at the applicable Net Component Rate with respect to the Trust Loan Notes, to the extent such funds are on deposit on the applicable Payment Date or an advance is made in respect of the Payment Date (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January and February, “Withheld Amounts”).

107 |
under clauses (ii), (iv)(B), (v), (vi)(A), (vii) and (ix) of this Section 3.4(c) shall, as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, be made out of: (1) first, to the maximum extent permitted under the Co-Lender Agreement, any amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be distributable under the Co-Lender Agreement to the Junior Trust Note; and (2) second, any remaining amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be distributable under the Co-Lender Agreement with respect to the Senior Trust Notes and the Companion Loan Note(s), on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with their relative principal balances (except with respect to interest on Monthly Interest Payment Advances, Administrative Advances and/or Companion Loan Advances which are reimbursable solely from collections on the related Senior Note), all in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, and taking into account the subordination of the Junior Trust Notes to the Senior Trust Notes and the Companion Loan Note(s).
If a Monthly Interest Payment Advance is made with respect to the Trust Loan, then that Monthly Interest Payment Advance, together with interest on such Monthly Debt Service Advance, shall only be reimbursed out of future payments and collections on the Trust Loan, but not out of payments or other collections on the Companion Loan(s). Likewise, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee (including the portion that is the Trustee Fee) shall only be paid out of payments and other collections on the Trust Loan, but not out of payments or other collections on the Companion Loan(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Remittance Date, in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to make a withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) above of this Section 3.4(c) if: (1) the item proposed to be withdrawn, if not withdrawn, would be required to be advanced by the Servicer as an Administrative Advance or covered by a Monthly Interest Payment Advance with respect to such Remittance Date; and (2) as a result of such withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to such withdrawal would be less than the Required Advance Amount (it being understood that the Servicer shall be permitted to make withdrawals in the order of priority specified above in this Section 3.4(c) so long as funds allocable to the Trust Loan equaling or exceeding the Required Advance Amount remain in the Collection Account). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such withdrawal limitations shall not apply (and accrued amounts previously eligible for withdrawal pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) above of this Section 3.4(c) but which remain unpaid due to the operation of this paragraph may then be withdrawn and paid) upon (1) the final liquidation of the Trust Loan or the Properties, (2) the final payment of the Trust Loan and release of the Mortgage or (3) the determination that any Advance that would increase the currently unreimbursed Advances in the aggregate would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.
The Servicer shall pay to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator (on behalf of itself and the Trustee) and pay to the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor, if applicable, from the Collection Account as provided above amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor, as applicable, therefrom, promptly upon receipt on or prior to the Determination Date of certificates of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, an officer of the Operating Advisor or a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee, as applicable, are entitled, together with any other information reasonably requested
108 |
by the Servicer; provided, however, that no officer’s certificate shall be required for payment to the Special Servicer of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee or Work-out Fee. The Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate, shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein and shall have no liability if the amount paid in reliance thereon is an amount to which the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, is not entitled.
On the Remittance Date for each Companion Loan, the Servicer shall remit to the related Companion Loan Holder the amounts contemplated to be payable thereto on such date as contemplated by clause (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.4(c).
(c) On each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account all funds received during or prior to the related Collection Period, and remaining after the withdrawals specified in clauses (i) through (xi) of the first paragraph of Section 3.4(c), and shall remit such funds to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in (i) in the case of funds other than Yield Maintenance Premiums, the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.5 and (ii) in the case of Yield Maintenance Premiums, the Yield Maintenance Premiums Distribution Account.
(d) If the Servicer makes any reimbursement or payment out of the Collection Account to cover any related Companion Loan Holder’s share of any cost, expense, indemnity, Property Protection Advance or interest on such Property Protection Advance, or fee with respect to the Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer (prior to the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event) and the Special Servicer (following the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event) shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to collect such amount out of collections on such Companion Loan or, if and to the extent permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement, from the Companion Loan Holders.
(e) If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Breach or a Material Document Defect, as the case may be, with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.9 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 a Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of a related Eligible Account. The Servicer and 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 Trust REMIC. Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund (and any income earned thereon) through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any income earned on the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and paid to the Special Servicer as additional compensation) as damages paid to and distributed by the Trust REMICs on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Loan Seller as a beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable 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, based upon the respective Loss of
109 |
Value Payments made by such Loan Seller that are on deposit from time to time in the Loss Value Reserve Fund.
(f) If any Loss of Value Payments are deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the Trust Loan or the Trust’s Interest in any related Foreclosed Property, then the Special Servicer shall, promptly upon written direction from the Servicer (provided that, with respect to clause (iv) below, the Certificate Administrator shall have provided the Servicer and the Special Servicer with five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such final Distribution Date) transfer such Loss of Value Payments (up to the remaining portion thereof) from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account (or, in the case of clause (iv) below, to the Loan Seller) for the following purposes:
(i) to reimburse the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.4(c) of this Agreement, for any Nonrecoverable Advance made by such party with respect to the Trust Loan, the Mortgage Loan or any related Foreclosed Property (together with any related interest thereon);
(ii) to pay, in accordance with Section 3.4(c) of this Agreement, or to reimburse the Trust for the prior payment of, any expense relating to the Mortgage Loan or any related Foreclosed Property that constitutes or, if not paid out of such Loss of Value Payments, would constitute a Trust Fund Expense, and to pay, in accordance with Section 3.4(c) of this Agreement, any unpaid Liquidation Fee due and owing to the Special Servicer in connection with the receipt of such Loss of Value Payment;
(iii) to offset any portion of any Realized Loss (or, in connection with a final liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or the Properties, any anticipated Realized Loss) that is attributable to the Mortgage Loan or any related Foreclosed Property (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments); and
(iv) on the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, to each Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) to offset, pay or reimburse, as applicable, any Realized Losses, Trust Fund Expenses or Nonrecoverable Advances (together with any related interest thereon) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan or any related Foreclosed Property.

113 |
the case of a Companion Loan that is part of an Other Securitization Trust, the master servicer, special servicer and trustee with respect to such Other Securitization Trust) and the Certificate Administrator. The cost of obtaining any such Appraisal (or updated Appraisal) shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance unless it would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and, in such case, as an expense of the Trust. Updates of such Appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer every nine (9) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists and shall be paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance), and any Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Principal Balance Certificates with a Certificate Balance that has been notionally reduced as a result of such Appraisal Reduction Amount shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a CCR Control Period, a CCR Consultation Period or a CCR Consultation Termination Period is then in effect.
As of the first Determination Date following the Trust Loan becoming an AB Modified Loan, the Special Servicer shall calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent Appraisal obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to the Trust Loan and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination.
The Servicer shall provide by electronic means reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Servicer the information in its possession or control as reasonably requested in writing by the Special Servicer within two (2) Business Days of any request to permit the Special Servicer to calculate or to recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount and/or any Collateral Deficiency Amount. The Mortgage Loan will be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated first to the Junior Trust Notes up to the principal balance of the Junior Trust Notes, with any remainder being allocated to the Senior Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (in accordance with the relative principal balance of such Senior Notes).
Any such Appraisal obtained under this Section 3.7 shall be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Companion Loan Holder(s), any applicable Consenting Party and Consulting Party in electronic format and the Certificate Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Non-Restricted Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b), and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such Appraisal on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.
The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer and the Operating Advisor, and after receipt of such notification the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, of the determination and any redetermination of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, which notification may be satisfied by providing such information in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template or the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File included in the CREFC® Reports delivered pursuant to Section 3.18(a), and the Certificate Administrator
114 |
shall promptly post notice of the determination or redetermination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, including such CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Template or CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File, as applicable, on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
(b) While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists and is allocable to the Trust Loan, (i) the amount of any Monthly Interest Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a) and (ii) the existence thereof shall be taken into account for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in the definition of “Voting Rights”, (y) whether any Class of Principal Balance Certificates are Non-Reduced Certificates and (z) whether a CCR Control Period and/or Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event is or is not then in effect as provided in the definition thereof. While a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists, the existence thereof shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether a CCR Control Period and/or Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event is or is not then in effect as provided in the definition thereof.
(c) The Certificate Balance of each Class of the Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) to the extent expressly set forth herein, the Voting Rights of the related Classes, (y) whether any Class of Principal Balance Certificates are Non-Reduced Certificates and (z) whether a CCR Control Period and/or Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event is or is not then in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. The Certificate Balance of solely the Class HRR Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining whether a CCR Control Period and/or Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event is or is not then in effect) on any Distribution Date to the extent of any Collateral Deficiency Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocable to the Trust Loan shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class HRR Certificates; second, to the Class D Certificates; third, to the Class C Certificates; and fourth, to the Class B Certificates; provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates. On each Distribution Date, any Collateral Deficiency Amount shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance (to not less than zero) of solely the Class HRR Certificates.
(d) With respect to any Appraisal used for purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the appraised value (as determined by an updated Appraisal) of a Property or Foreclosed Property, as applicable, will be determined on an “as is” basis.
(e) If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) either (A) no Appraisal or updates of an Appraisal has been obtained or conducted with respect to any particular Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, during the 9-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) the Special Servicer has knowledge of a material change in the circumstances surrounding any particular Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal
115 |
has been obtained or conducted for each such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, referred to in the immediately preceding clause (ii) within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until a new Appraisal is obtained for each such Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the appraised value of the subject Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to (a) for the first 30 days following the 60 day-period in the immediately preceding clause (ii), 75% of the appraised value set forth in the most recent Appraisal for the subject Property or Foreclosed Property, and (b) thereafter until such new Appraisal is obtained, 75% of the Allocated Mortgage Loan Amount for the subject Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be (each of clause (a) and (b),the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer for with respect to each Property or Foreclosed Property, as the case may be, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be recalculated in accordance with the definition of “Appraisal Reduction Amount” taking such new Appraisal into account. For purposes of determining an Appraisal Reduction Amount, the appraised value (as determined by an updated Appraisal) of a Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.
(f) During any CCR Control Period and during any CCR Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in respect of the determination of any Appraisal Reduction Amount. The determination by the Special Servicer following such consultation will be binding until such time as a new determination is made based on a new Appraisal obtained as a result of the exercise of the rights of the Requesting Holders discussed below or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Class HRR Certificates, if and when the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class) and provided that a CCR Consultation Termination Event does not exist, is referred to as an “Appraisal-Reduced Class”. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraisal-Reduced Class (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”) shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal in respect of any one or more Properties in connection with the related Appraisal Reduction Event that has occurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and in connection therewith the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each such second Appraisal to be delivered within 60 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall cause such second Appraisal to be prepared by an Independent Appraiser. Upon receipt of each such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall be required to recalculate such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such second Appraisal(s). If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period may be reinstated.
(g) In addition, if subsequent to the Class HRR Certificates becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class there is a material change with respect to any Property, the Requesting Holders of such Class will have the right to request, in writing, that the Special Servicer obtain an additional Appraisal, which request shall set forth their belief of what constitutes a material change to such Property (including any related documentation). For the avoidance of doubt, only one such additional Appraisal of any particular Property may be requested by the holders of an Appraisal-Reduced Class within the same two-year period. The costs of obtaining such additional Appraisal(s) shall be paid by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that there has been a change with respect to a Property designated by the Requesting Holders for an additional Appraisal
116 |
and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall order another Appraisal from an Independent Appraiser, the identity of which shall be determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (provided that such Independent Appraiser may not be the same Independent Appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal), and the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, a CCR Control Period shall be reinstated. In each case, Appraisals that are requested by any Appraisal-Reduced Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices upon the occurrence of a material change at any Property or that the Special Servicer is otherwise required or permitted to order under this Agreement without regard to any Appraisal requests made by any other party.
(h) Upon becoming an Appraisal-Reduced Class and thereafter (including during any period that the Appraisal-Reduced Class is challenging the determination of the Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with a second Appraisal or otherwise presenting a new Appraisal as described above), the Holders and/or Beneficial Owners of the Class HRR Certificates shall not exercise any rights of the Controlling Class solely applicable during a CCR Control Period, and the Controlling Class Representative shall not be a Consenting Party, until such time, if any, as such CCR Control Period is reinstated.
3.8 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and any Foreclosed Property Account. (a) The Servicer and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Accounts and the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Special Servicer, may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, any Foreclosed Property Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Cash Management Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower Related Parties) and any Reserve Account (to the extent interest is not payable to the Borrower Related Parties), respectively (each of the Collection Account, any Foreclosed Property Account, the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, the Cash Management Account and any Reserve Account, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee). The Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall have sole control (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Foreclosed Property Account) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In

All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts (except in the case of any such loss with respect to the Cash Management Account or a Reserve Account, to the extent the loss amounts were invested for the benefit of the Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

118 |
however, that none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions made by any other party to this Agreement (not involving any investment direction from the party seeking to be absolved from responsibility and liability) or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise.
3.9 Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc. The Servicer (other than with respect to a Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Properties (or such Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on any of the Properties (or such Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof.

The Servicer shall pay real estate taxes, assessments and charges, insurance premiums, PILOT Payments, ground rent, operating expenses and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Borrower Related Parties do not make the necessary payments and/or a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to the Properties when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, PILOT Payments, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee.

(c) Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Certificate Administrator, and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage Loan File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Mortgage Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Borrower Related Parties to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower Related Parties under the Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Borrower Related Parties while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing. The Servicer (or, while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer) shall provide any applicable mezzanine lender all default-related notices required under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation, in connection with any cure rights or purchase option. During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall determine the effect on net present value of various courses of action with respect to the Mortgage
120 |
Loan, including without limitation, work-out of the Mortgage Loan or foreclosure on the Properties and pursue, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the course of action that it determines would maximize recovery on the Mortgage Loan on a net present value basis. All net present value determinations shall be made in accordance with Section 1.3(c).
(d) Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Companion Loan Holder(s), the Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.
(e) In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Mortgage Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage Loan File” for inclusion in the Mortgage Loan File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including written or electronic correspondence with the Borrower Related Parties, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer and the Operating Advisor as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer, provided that, such materials shall not include any Privileged Information.
(f) During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing with respect to the Mortgage Loan, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) the Business Day following the Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer a written statement (or, if applicable, one or more CREFC® Reports that contain(s) the information set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below of this Section 3.10(f)) describing (i) the amount of all payments received on the Mortgage Loan, the amount of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Properties, and the amount of net income or net loss, as determined from 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 rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, the Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Mortgage Loan as the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Mortgage Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement. Such records shall be maintained on both a whole loan basis and a note by note basis.
(h) Within 60 days after a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, the Special Servicer shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Mortgage Loan and deliver such
121 |
report (in a format reasonably acceptable to the recipients and the Special Servicer) to any applicable Consenting Party and Consulting Party, and any Companion Loan Holder(s) and, in the case of a Final Asset Status Report, to the Servicer, the Operating Advisor (even if the Operating Advisor is not a Consulting Party), the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)). The Special Servicer shall label, or otherwise communicate to the parties to which a Final Asset Status Report is to be delivered, each Final Asset Status Report as being final. The Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor of whether any Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor is a Final Asset Status Report, which notification may be satisfied by (i) delivery of an Asset Status Report that is either signed by the Controlling Class Representative or that otherwise includes an indication that such Asset Status Report is deemed approved due to the passage of any required consent or consultation time period or (ii) such other method as reasonably agreed to by the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer. Each Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:
(i) summary of the status of the Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the Borrowers and any Borrower Related Party;
(ii) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the 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 Properties;
(iv) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;
(v) the appraised value of the Properties together with the Appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

(vii) a description of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease or any PILOT Lease;
(viii) a description of any actions taken or proposed actions to be taken;
(ix) the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with any actions taken or proposed actions to be taken;
(x) the action that the Special Servicer made or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed
122 |
action, including its rejection of the alternatives; and an analysis of whether or not taking such action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions;
(xi) a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and
(xii) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.
The Special Servicer shall: (x) deliver to the Certificate Administrator, in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer, a proposed notice to Certificateholders that shall include a summary of any Final Asset Status Report (which shall be a brief summary of the current status of the Properties and strategy with respect to the resolution and work-out of the Mortgage Loan), and the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary (but not the Asset Status Report) on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b); (y) deliver any Final Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such Final Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b); and (z) implement the applicable Final Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.10(h). If the Special Servicer modifies any Final Asset Status Report that it has previously delivered, then, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall (i) deliver such modified Final Asset Status Report (in a format reasonably acceptable to the recipients and the Special Servicer) to any applicable Consenting Party, any applicable Consulting Party, the Servicer, any Companion Loan Holder(s), the Operating Advisor (even if it is not a Consulting Party), (ii) deliver such modified Final Asset Status Report to the 17g-5 Information Provider in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the 17g-5 Information Provider (which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)), (iii) deliver a summary of the modified Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator (in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator), which the Certificate Administrator shall post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant Section 8.14(b), and (iv) implement such modified Final Asset Status Report in the form delivered to the 17g-5 Information Provider.
If any applicable Consenting Party (i) affirmatively approves in writing an Asset Status Report or (ii) does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten Business Days after receipt of such Asset Status Report together with all information in the possession of the Special Servicer that is reasonably necessary for such Consenting Party to make a decision regarding such Asset Status Report (in which case, under the circumstances set forth in this clause (ii), such Consenting Party shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report), then the Special Servicer shall take the recommended actions described in such Asset Status Report. Within ten Business Days after receipt of an Asset Status Report, together with all information reasonably requested by any applicable Consenting Party in the possession of the Special Servicer that is
123 |
reasonably necessary to make a decision regarding the Asset Status Report, such Consenting Party may object to such Asset Status Report.
If any applicable Consenting Party disapproves an Asset Status Report within the above-referenced ten Business Day period, then the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver such revised Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval of the Asset Status Report by such Consenting Party, to (i) any applicable Consenting Party, (ii) any applicable Consulting Party, (iii) the Servicer, (iv) any Companion Loan Holder(s), and (iv) solely in the case of a Final Asset Status Report, the Operating Advisor (even if the Operating Advisor is not a Consulting Party), the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)). If and for so long as there is an applicable Consenting Party, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as provided in the prior sentence until the earliest of (a) the delivery by such Consenting Party of an affirmative approval in writing of such revised Asset Status Report, (b) the Special Servicer’s determination, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such objection is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and (c) the failure of such Consenting Party to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten Business Days of its receipt thereof; provided that the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Property before the expiration of such ten Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines that failure to take such action before the expiration of such ten Business Day period would violate the Accepted Servicing Practices; and provided, further, that if such Consenting Party has timely disapproved as required hereunder, but has not approved or been deemed to approve any revised Asset Status Report within 60 days from the first submission of an initial Asset Status Report, then the Special Servicer and such Consenting Party shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually agreeable Asset Status Report during the next thirty (30) days, and if they are unable to reach an agreement within such 30-day period, the Special Servicer shall take such action recommended in its most recently submitted Asset Status Report, provided, that such action does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices (or, if such action would violate Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer shall take such action as was reflected in its most recently submitted Asset Status Report that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and such Asset Status Report shall be deemed a Final Asset Status Report). The Asset Status Report and all modifications thereto shall be prepared in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices.
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, delivered, reviewed and either approved or not rejected as provided above.
If and for so long as there is an applicable Consulting Party, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with such Consulting Party in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and such Consulting Party shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 Business Days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by any applicable Consulting Party. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the applicable
124 |
Consulting Party. The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor each Final Asset Status Report and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event exists, each other Asset Status Report.
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 Accepted Servicing Practices. During any CCR Control Period or any CCR Consultation Period or during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Trigger Event, 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 Operating Advisor and, during any CCR Control Period or any CCR Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative of such inconsistent action and provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons therefor.
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/or identified; and (ii) no advice, direction, objection or consultation from or by a Consenting Party or a Consulting Party, as applicable, pursuant to or as contemplated by any provision of this Agreement, may (and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall follow any such advice, direction, objection or consultation that the Special Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable, has determined, in its reasonable, good faith judgment, would): (A) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement or any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement or any Section of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s or the Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (B) result in the imposition of federal income tax on the Trust, or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code, (C) expose the Trust, any Certificateholder, the Companion Loan Holders, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates, members, managers, officers, directors, employees or agents, to any material claim, suit or liability or (D) materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or the scope of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
(i) During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Borrower Related Parties and, subject to the rights of any applicable Consenting Party and any applicable Consulting Party, take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.
(j) Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable), which constitutes a Non-Restricted Privileged Person and which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit K-1, the Certificate Administrator shall mail or transmit electronically, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the summary of any Final Asset Status Report. Notwithstanding
125 |
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable), which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification in the form of Exhibit K-2, shall only be entitled to receive a copy of the most current Distribution Date Statements and no other reports from the Certificate Administrator’s Website.
(k) During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File and, to the extent required under the then current applicable CREFC® guidelines, CREFC® Special Servicer Property File with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
3.11 Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause the Borrowers to maintain (or if the Borrowers fail to maintain such insurance, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to each Property of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained by the Borrowers under the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Servicer shall require such insurance policies to be issued by insurers satisfying the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Borrowers to be in default with respect to the failure of the Borrowers 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 (subject to the consent of any applicable Consenting Party) has determined, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that (i) such insurance is not required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as in effect on such date, or (ii) the failure to maintain such insurance would constitute an Acceptable Insurance Default. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the related Borrower would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Mortgage Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof, and, accordingly, prior to any Property becoming a Foreclosed Property, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall spend more for terrorism insurance premiums than the related Borrower shall be obligated to spend. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain or cause to be maintained any insurance if such insurance would require a Property Protection Advance that would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (provided, that nothing shall prohibit the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from maintaining such insurance if the costs of doing so are paid as an expense of the Trust).
(b) The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Mortgage Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to each Foreclosed Property as the Borrowers are required to maintain with respect to such Property referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11. The cost of any such insurance with respect to a Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case the Servicer shall pay such amount from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust). Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under
126 |
subsection (a) of this Section 3.11) that is required to be maintained with respect to any Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates and the Trustee, as prior mortgagee, or other applicable party on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) has an insurable interest. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.
(c) The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to any particular Property or Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Borrowers, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case it shall be paid from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust). If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Mortgage Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy (from (i) any insurer that has a claims-paying ability rated at least as follows by at least one of the following credit rating agencies: “A-” by Fitch, “A-” by S&P, “A3” by Xxxxx’x, “A-” by KBRA, “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar or “A-:X” by A.M. Best Company, Inc., or (ii) any other insurance company which does not result in the downgrade, qualification (if applicable) or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned by any of the Rating Agencies to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation provided to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) covering the officers and employees of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the
127 |
coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy.
Both the Servicer and Special Servicer shall be required to use reasonable efforts to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth above in this Section3.11(d). In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required to obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy.
In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11(d), the Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure directly or through its parent with respect to such risks so long as the rating on its (or its immediate or remote parent’s) long-term unsecured debt or deposit accounts is at least “A3” by Xxxxx’x and “A(low)” or its equivalent by DBRS Morningstar or, if not then rated by a particular Rating Agency, either (x) rated no lower than an equivalent rating by at least two other NRSROs (which may include the other Rating Agency) or (y) rated no lower than “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc.
(e) No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator on the Trustee’s behalf shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Trustee’s behalf (with a copy to the Operating Advisor), a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator shall make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.
(f) The Operating Advisor shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement an “errors and omissions” insurance policy (from (i) any insurer whose claims-paying ability is rated at least as follows by at least one of the following credit rating agencies: “A-” by Fitch, “A-” by S&P, “A3” by Xxxxx’x, “A-” by KBRA, “A(low)” by DBRS Morningstar or “A-:X” by A.M. Best Company, Inc., or (ii) any other insurance company which does not result in the downgrade, qualification (if applicable) or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned by any of the Rating Agencies to any Class of Certificates, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation provided to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) covering losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s errors or omissions.
3.12 Procedures with Respect to Defaulted Mortgage Loan; Realization upon the Properties. (a) Upon a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (subject to the consent rights of any applicable Consenting Party and the consultation rights of any applicable Consulting Party), subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall service and administer the defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with Accepted Servicing
128 |
Practices and the remedies set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents, and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of such Mortgage Loan, as is consistent with the Trust and Servicing Agreement and Accepted Servicing Practices, including foreclosure or otherwise realization on the Properties and the other collateral for the Mortgage Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such Advance is determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, then such expenses shall be paid from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(b) Such proposed acceleration of the Mortgage Loan and/or foreclosure on the Properties shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Mortgage Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Mortgage Loan to cure the Mortgage Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
(c) In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Properties, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore any Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore a Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such Advance is determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, then such expenses shall be paid as an expense of the Trust from the Collection Account if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on any Property on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) and thereby cause the Trust to be the beneficial owner of any Property, or take any other action with respect to any Property that would cause the Trust or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, or any Companion Loan Holder to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, that (i) such Property is in compliance with applicable
129 |
Environmental Laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall make such report available to the Rating Agencies and NRSROs pursuant to Section 8.14(b)) and to the Certificate Administrator (who shall post such report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b)).
If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in Section 3.12(a), then subject to the rights of any related mezzanine lender, if applicable, and subject to the rights of (i) any applicable Consenting Party to consent to, and (ii) any applicable Consulting Party to consult in respect of, such action pursuant to the terms hereof, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action.
The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such Advance is determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, then such expenses shall be paid from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(e) The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust any personal property (including any Collateral consisting of franchise agreements, intellectual property or equity interests in any entity or other non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:
(i) such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
130 |
under the Code at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.
(g) Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to any Property following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default and cancellation of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan shall in whole or in part (to the extent allocable to any Property that has become a Foreclosed Property) be an REO Mortgage Loan and shall be deemed to remain outstanding and held in the Trust for purposes of all calculations hereunder, including the application of collections, and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b).
(h) The Special Servicer shall notify the Servicer of any Property (including any Foreclosed Property) which is abandoned or foreclosed that requires reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any item in the Trust Fund which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Servicer shall report to the IRS and the Borrowers, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A and 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness and foreclosure and abandonments to the extent such information has been provided to the Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon the occurrence of a forgiveness of indebtedness with respect to any Property (including any Foreclosed Property), the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer its Form 1099 reporting, in a format consistent with CREFC reporting practices and reasonably acceptable to both the Servicer and Special Servicer, on or before January 20 of each calendar year or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the preceding Business Day. Upon request, the Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.
3.13 Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Items in Mortgage Loan File. From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Mortgage Loan or foreclosure of or realization on any Property, the Certificate Administrator shall, upon request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Certificate Administrator of a request for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause its Custodian to release any items from the Mortgage Loan File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related request for release, and the Trustee shall execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such receipt for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such items to the Certificate Administrator (or a Custodian on its behalf) when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any responsibility or duty with respect to any item in the Mortgage Loan File while not in its (or its Custodian’s) physical possession (provided that such item in the Mortgage Loan File was properly released in accordance with this Agreement), it being understood and agreed that possession by the Certificate Administrator of any Collateral Security Documents shall not be imputed to the Certificate Administrator at any time such Collateral Security Documents have been properly released pursuant to the terms hereof.
131 |
3.14 Title and Management of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to any Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Holders of ILPT Commercial Mortgage Trust 2022-LPFX, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance or from the Collection Account if such Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to such Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a reimbursable expense of the Special Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s), shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property held by the Trust as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Sections 3.15 and Section 12.2. Subject to Sections 12.2 and Section 3.14(d), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. In connection with such management and subject to Section 3.4(c)(vi), the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(vi).
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to each Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee or in the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust that is managed by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust, pursuant to Section 3.6.
(c) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operation of any Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Special Servicer shall (i) cause, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices any Foreclosed Property to be administered so that it constitutes “foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions at all times, and (ii) cause, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, any income from the operation or the sale of any Foreclosed Property to not result in the receipt by the Trust of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B).
The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the related Foreclosed Property Account all properly identified revenues received with respect to a
132 |
Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Foreclosed Property;
(ii) all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of such Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to preserve such Foreclosed Property, including the payment of PILOT Payments and ground rent, if any.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and all similar amounts or expenses), the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such Advance is determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, then such expenses shall be paid from the Collection Account if consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.
(d) The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of any such Foreclosed Properties; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of any such Foreclosed Properties, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account; and
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) with respect to the operation and management of any such Foreclosed Properties.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the
133 |
Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be an expense of the Trust payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(vi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s). Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.
(e) On or before the Business Day following the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and remit to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected during such Collection Period on or with respect to each Foreclosed Property (together with any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of such Foreclosed Property in the event that the Foreclosed Property is a real property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.
3.15 Sale of Foreclosed Property. (a) In the event that title to any Property or other collateral securing the Mortgage Loan is acquired by the Special Servicer in the name of the Trustee or its nominee for the benefit of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. The Special Servicer shall be empowered, subject to the Code and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with the management and operations of any Foreclosed Property in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s), shall sell any Foreclosed Property as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in no event later than the time period set forth in Section 12.2 hereof in a manner provided under this Section 3.15.
(b) [Reserved.]
(c) Subject to the consent rights of any applicable Consenting Party and the consultation rights of any applicable Consulting Party, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer for a Foreclosed Property received from any person. However, in no event may such offer be less than an amount at least equal to the portion of the Repurchase Price (calculated based on the Mortgage Loan instead of the Trust Loan) attributable to such Foreclosed Property. In the absence of any such offer, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer (other than from an Interested Person) that it determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months. If the highest offeror is an Interested Person or any Certificateholder, then the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest offer based upon an independent appraisal
134 |
obtained at the expense of the Trust; provided, that if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person or any Certificateholder constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuation of or investment in properties similar to the Foreclosed Property, which such expert shall be selected with reasonable care by the Trustee for the sole purpose of determining whether any such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Foreclosed Property; provided, further, that if the Trustee so designates any such third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination and the reasonable costs of all Appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to any consent rights of any applicable Consenting Party and any consultation rights of any applicable Consulting Party, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the 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 accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender).
(d) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.14 and Section 12.2, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of a Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of any Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Depositor, the Trust, the Trust Fund, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder(s) (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s)) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Depositor, the Trust, the Trust Fund, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor shall have any liability to any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder(s) with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(e) The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).
(f) Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide (if not previously included in a CREFC® Report by the Servicer or the Special Servicer) to the Operating Advisor (if not previously made available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website) and to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall provide (to the extent received from the Special Servicer) to the Companion Loan Holder(s), the Trustee and the Certificate
135 |
Administrator a statement of accounting (or, if applicable, one or more CREFC® Reports that contain(s) the information set forth in clauses (i) to (v) below of this Section 3.15(f)) for the Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Allocated Mortgage Loan Amount of such Foreclosed Property, and (v) such other information as the Companion Loan Holder(s), the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.
(g) The Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of the Properties required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Mortgage Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.
3.16 Sale of the Mortgage Loan.(a)
(a) (i) Within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to order (but shall not be required to be received within that 60-day period) an Appraisal for each Property. The Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Companion Loan Holder(s), any applicable Consenting Party and any applicable Consulting Party of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event, and the Special Servicer shall, within the time period specified in any related mezzanine intercreditor agreement, but in any event no later than five Business Days after receipt of such notice, notify any related mezzanine lender of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event, which notice may result in the trigger of such mezzanine lender’s purchase option rights under the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement. Upon receipt by the Special Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, subject to the right of any related mezzanine lender to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement, if any, and provided that the Mortgage Loan is a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person the Mortgage Loan or the Special Servicer (or an affiliate thereof) may offer to purchase the Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if the Trust and the Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Companion Loan Holder(s), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, any applicable Consenting Party and any applicable Consulting Party not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to sell the Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest cash offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price applicable to the Mortgage Loan (which will be calculated in a matter similar to that set forth under the definition of “Repurchase Price” utilizing amounts applicable to the Mortgage Loan as a whole), or, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price, the Special Servicer may, at its option, purchase the Mortgage Loan at such Repurchase Price (calculated based on the Mortgage Loan instead of the Trust Loan). Any Appraisal obtained pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be delivered by the Special Servicer to the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor in electronic format, and the Certificate
136 |
Administrator shall make such Appraisal available to Non-Restricted Privileged Persons pursuant to Section 8.14(b) and shall forward a copy thereof to the Trustee. The Companion Loan(s) shall be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.
(ii) In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price (calculated based on the Mortgage Loan instead of the Trust Loan) (or purchase by the Special Servicer for the Repurchase Price (calculated based on the Mortgage Loan instead of the Trust Loan)), and provided that the Mortgage Loan is in default, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for the Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a person other than the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (or any of its affiliates), the Operating Advisor, a holder of 50% or more of the Controlling Class, the Controlling Class Representative (or any of its Affiliates), any Borrower Restricted Party, any Property Manager, any independent contractor engaged by the Special Servicer, a holder of any related mezzanine loan, any Other Depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer (or any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer) or the trustee for an Other Securitization Trust, any Companion Loan Holder or representative thereof (except to the extent described below) or any known affiliate of any of them (any such person, an “Interested Person”). The Trustee (based upon, among other things, the Appraisals ordered pursuant to the preceding paragraph (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance) and copied or otherwise delivered to the Trustee) shall determine if the highest cash offer is a fair price if the highest offeror is an Interested Person, and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein 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 or investing in loans similar to the Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the 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 and all reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in making such determination shall be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then from the Collection Account as an expense of the Trust. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase the Mortgage Loan.
(iii) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
137 |
that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the 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), provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to sell the Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.
(iv) Unless and until the Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, work-out and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and Accepted Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions.
(b) Any sale of the Trust Loan shall be subject to (A) any applicable consent and/or consultation rights of any applicable Consenting Party and any applicable Consulting Party set forth in Section 9.3 and (B) any applicable consultation rights of the Operating Advisor set forth in Sections 9.3 and 9.5(f).
(c) The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Mortgage Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Mortgage Loan has not yet occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if (1) the Mortgage Loan is no longer delinquent because: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Mortgage Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the work-out arrangement or (iii) the Mortgage Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (2) any related mezzanine lender has exercised its purchase option set forth in the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement.
(d) Any sale of the Mortgage Loan shall be for cash only.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders as and to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement. The Controlling Class Representative and the Companion Loan Holders (or its representative) will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Mortgage Loan, unless such person is a Borrower or an agent or an affiliate of any Borrower.
3.17 Servicing Compensation. (a) The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Trust Loan, the Companion Loan(s) and any REO Trust Loan and REO Companion Loan(s) payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c).
