MULTIFAMILY ASSET MANAGEMENT DELEGATED TRANSACTION:
TRANSFER/ASSUMPTION
The Borrower must obtain prior Lender consent for any proposed Transfer/Assumption involving the Mortgage Loan, unless explicitly
permitted by the Loan Documents. A Transfer/Assumption is, collectively, any transaction or series of transactions that includes any or all
of the following:
Assumption: any transfer of the Borrower's fee simple title or ground leasehold interest in the Property
that is accompanied by an assumption of the Mortgage Loan by a new Person as the Borrower;
Change in Legal Entity: a conversion of the Borrower from one type of legal entity into another type
(e.g., a limited partnership converting into a limited liability company), if such conversion results in a
change in any of the assets, liabilities, legal rights, or obligations of the Borrower (or of any Key
Principal, any Guarantor, or any general partner of the Borrower, as applicable), by operation of law or
otherwise; or
Ownership Interest Transfer: any transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in the Borrower or
any Key Principal to another Person (the “Transferee”).
Even if Lender approval is not required, the Borrower must still give prior notice to the Servicer of the proposed Transfer/Assumption.
The Servicer is responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Loan Documents that govern or otherwise relate to any Transfer/
Assumption, unless otherwise instructed by Fannie Mae. The Servicer must ensure that any proposed Transfer/Assumption complies with
the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and this Form. In the event of any conflict between the requirements of this Form and
the provisions of any Loan Document, the provisions of the Loan Documents will control. If the Transfer/Assumption is explicitly
permitted by the Loan Documents, the Lender must still notify Fannie Mae so that any necessary system changes can be made.
Upon completing, the Servicer must document its findings and notify the Borrower (and Ttransferee, if feasible) in writing of its
determination. The Servicer is delegated the authority to approve a Transfer/Assumption only to the extent delegated in this Form.
In connection with any Transfer/Assumption, the Servicer must ensure that:
the credit quality of the Mortgage Loan is maintained;
the asset quality of the Property is maintained; and
the obligations of the Borrower, Key Principal, and any Guarantor under the Loan Documents are
maintained (e.g., if specific guarantees or indemnities were executed in connection with the original
Mortgage Loan, then those guarantees or indemnities must be assumed by a new Person acceptable to
the Lender).
The Servicer should review the proposed Transfer/Assumption request, the Loan Documents, and this Form to determine the type of
Borrower Request, the level of due diligence required by the Servicer, and whether approval of the request is delegated to the Servicer.
The level of Servicer review required in processing a Transfer/Assumption request will vary depending on the nature of the
Transfer/Assumption. A request deemed “Critical” requires a higher degree of due diligence. The types of each Transfer/Assumption
and the required degree of due diligence are as follows:

Part V: Servicing and Asset Management, Chapter 4
Delegation Criteria
The Servicer is delegated the authority to approve a Transfer/Assumption provided the Servicer completes all
the Sections of this Form and answers “No” to all the questions in Part III.
Fannie Mae approval of the Transfer/Assumption is required if one or more questions in Section III is
answered “Yes”.
Due Diligence
Requirements
The Servicer must underwrite the Transfer/Assumption and proposed Transferee in compliance with Parts I,
II, and anythe applicable products and features in Part III.
If the Transfer/Assumption is deemed “Critical” then the Servicer must complete the following additional
due diligence items, at a minimum:
perform an overall risk assessment of the Borrower, Guarantor, Key Principals, and Principals, taking into
consideration the specifics of the transaction. In all events, the Servicer must obtain and analyze any
information necessary to complete an appropriate credit review, including organizational structure,
multifamily business experience and qualifications, general credit history, and current and prospective
financial condition. The financial strength, experience, qualifications, character and credit history of the
Borrower, Guarantor, Key Principals, and Principals, as determined by the analysis must be commensurate
with the size, complexity, structure, and risks of the transaction;
review and assess the Transferee's organizational structure; the Servicer is responsible at all times for
ensuring that the Servicing File contains copies of accurate and complete organizational documents for
each Borrower, Guarantor, Key Principal, or Principal that is an entity;
review and assess the acceptability of the proposed property management taking into account the type
and size of the Property;
conduct a site inspection of the Property and document the results using the MBA Standard Inspection
Form. The site inspection must occur no more than:
180 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Transfer/Assumption if the Property had not
been previously inspected, or if the most recent overall Property inspection rating as shown on the
Fannie Mae Assessment Addendum (“Fannie Mae Assmt Addendum”) tab of the MBA Standard
Inspection Form is 3, 4, or 5;
210 days prior to the anticipated effective date if the most recent property inspection rating is 2; or
240 days prior to the anticipated effective date if the most recent property inspection rating is 1.

Due Diligence
Requirements
evaluate the condition of the Property to determine whether an increase in, or initial funding of, a
Replacement Reserve would be appropriate, or whether immediate repairs to, or replacement of capital
items at, the Property will be required for any Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Reserve Agreement in
place, or any other Loan Document that provides the latitude to require an increase in funding the
Replacement Reserve (or, if a funded Replacement Reserve does not currently exist, the latitude to
require the funding of one) in the event of a Transfer/Assumption. If a new or amended Replacement
Reserve Agreement is deemed necessary and appropriate, the Servicer must use the applicable
Replacement Reserve and Security Agreement (Form 6606, 6607, 6609, 6610, or 6613);
use its discretion in deciding whether to conduct a Property Condition Assessment depending on the
time since the last Property Condition Assessment, the age of the Property, and results of recent physical
inspections, provided, however, that any Small Mortgage Loan having an overall Property inspection
rating of 4 or 5 as shown on the Fannie Mae Assessment Addendum (“Fannie Mae Assmt Addendum”) tab
of the MBA Standard Inspection Form will require a new Property Condition Assessment as a condition to
approving the Transfer/Assumption;
perform a financial analysis of the Property to evaluate the Property's performance and to calculate a
current Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) based on the most recently available historical Property
operating statements. If the Servicer determines that the Property does not currently achieve the DCSR
required for a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer must obtain and evaluate the proposed
Transferee's immediate plans to improve the Property's performance or physical condition. As soon as
available, the Servicer must obtain and evaluate the proposed Transferee's management and leasing
plan to enhance operations. The Servicer is strongly encouraged to seek additional collateral, escrows,
limited guarantees, other credit support, or other mitigants until the Property achieves the DSCR
required for a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan, subject to the limitations of this Form concerning Securitized
Mortgage Loans and Loan Document changes;
obtain approval of the Transfer/Assumption from the Servicer's Chief Underwriter (or Deputy Chief
Underwriter (or equivalent), Chief Asset Manager, Deputy Chief Asset Manager (or equivalent), or
Lender's Credit Committee (or equivalent)) and document such approval in the Servicing File; and
prepare a Transaction Approval Memo that includes a discussion of the due diligence items and
findings, if any.
If the Transfer/Assumption is deemed “Not Critical,” the decision to require any of the above due diligence
items is delegated to the Servicer so long as the Servicer addresses all the items required by the Transactions
Approval Memo, and the Servicer underwrites the proposed Transferee in compliance with Parts I, II, and the
applicable products and features in Part III.
For all delegated and non-delegated Transfer/Assumption requests, the following must be documented in
the Transaction Approval Memo:
description of the salient features of the proposed transaction;
the Servicer's analysis of the transaction, including evidence of approval by the Servicer's Chief
Underwriter (or Deputy Chief Underwriter (or equivalent), Chief Asset Manager, Deputy Chief Asset
Manager (or equivalent), or Lender's Credit Committee (or equivalent));
the Servicer's recommendation including any conditions for approval (e.g., whether the Transferee is
required to establish and fund a Replacement Reserve or increase the funding level of an existing
Replacement Reserve);
overall risk assessment and credit review of the Transferee;
comparison of the current Borrower/Seller's and the new Borrower/Transferee's multifamily ownership
and management experience, proximity to the Property, net worth, liquidity, and FICO Scores for any
assuming Borrower, Key Principal, or Principal that is an individual;
for a Transfer, a screening to confirm that the Transferee is not sanctioned or blocked by OFAC;
for an Assumption, a screening to confirm that none of the following are sanctioned or blocked by OFAC:
the new Borrower;
any new Guarantor;

discussion of the required due diligence items above for any Critical Assumption/Transfer;
payment history of the Mortgage Loan;
an analysis of current and historical Property operations, including DSCR, economic and physical
occupancy and market information;
if the Property does not currently achieve the DSCR required for a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan, then the Servicer
must also obtain and evaluate the proposed Transferee's immediate plans to improve the Property's
performance and physical condition, if necessary. As soon as available, the Servicer must obtain and
evaluate the proposed Transferee's management and leasing plan to enhance operations. The Servicer is
strongly encouraged to seek additional collateral, escrows, limited guarantees, or other credit support or
mitigants until the Property achieves the DSCR required for a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan. Any additional
collateral is subject to the limitations of this Form concerning Securitized Mortgage Loans and the Loan
Document changes. Taking additional collateral, including cash, cash equivalents, and/or real estate
having a value in excess of 10% of the value of the Property at the time of the Transfer/Assumption or
requiring any new Guaranty of Payment not previously contemplated in the existing Loan Documents
requires Fannie Mae approval due to federal income tax concerns. Any new or replacement Non-Recourse
Guaranty does not require Fannie Mae approval so long as the Fannie Mae form Loan Documents are used.

Fees
The Borrower must pay the Servicer a $3,000 review fee. The Servicer may increase or decrease its fee at its
discretion. In addition, the Borrower must pay a transfer fee in the amount of 1% of the Unpaid Principal Balance
as of the anticipated effective date of the Transfer/Assumption, to be shared equally by the Servicer and Fannie
Mae unless the Servicer's Lender Contract or the Loan Documents provide otherwise, or the collection of the
transfer fee is waived as provided below.
Without the prior approval of Fannie Mae, the transfer fee may be waived by the Servicer only when (i) a Transfer/
Assumption is the direct result of completing a tax-deferred exchange (IRS Section 1031), and (ii) a transfer fee
had been paid previously by the same parties to initiate the tax-deferred exchange and resulting
Transfer/Assumption.
If the Transfer/Assumption involves a partial prepayment of the Mortgage Loan and the Loan Documents
allow partial prepayments, the 1% transfer fee will be calculated on the UPB prior to the partial prepayment.
Form 4636.T/A - May October 2021

Page 6 of 15
Fees
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Documents generally prohibit any partial prepayments, and the
acceptance of a partial prepayment is discouraged. When a partial Prepayment is permitted, any applicable
Prepayment Premium must also be paid by the Borrower.
The Servicer may also seek reimbursement from the Borrower for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs,
including reasonable legal fees incurred by Servicer's counsel.
If Fannie Mae outside counsel is engaged, the Borrower must pay its fee, estimated at $5,000 for most Transfer/
Assumption requests. The actual legal fee may be higher or lower, depending on the ultimate scope of the request
and the time necessary to resolve. The Servicer will receive a summary invoice directly from Fannie Mae outside
counsel and must arrange for payment. The entire legal fee must be paid promptly, even if it exceeds $5,000. The
Servicer will be apprised of any likely increases in the estimated review fee. The estimated legal fee must be
collected from the Borrower before engaging Fannie Mae outside counsel.
The Fannie Mae portion of the transfer fee (if any) must be sent via federal wire transfer to the following account
no later than 10 business days after the transaction is completed. The Servicer must indicate the fee is a Transfer/
Assumption fee, Property name, and Fannie Mae Loan Number.
ABA Number: 021 039 500
Telegraphic Abbreviation: FNMA/NYC
Account Number: 169220242
Note: Fee Code 507, GL 270518900, the Fannie Mae Loan Number and the Property Name.
The Servicer must also enter the wire date and wire confirmation number through the MAMP as soon as available.
Negotiated Transactions Guide - Retired
Mortgage Loans governed by a Lender Contract referencing the Negotiated Transactions Guide may have a
different fee sharing arrangement that would supersede this Form. Transfer/Assumption fees for any Mortgage
Loan governed by a Lender Contract that references the Negotiated Transactions Guide with no fee sharing
arrangement specified in the contract are as follows:
Negotiated Transactions Processing Fee
If permitted by the Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may collect and retain a reasonable processing fee, within
any limits prescribed by the Loan Documents, necessary to cover actual processing costs for approval of a Transfer/
Assumption.
Negotiated Transactions Transfer Fee
If the Transfer/Assumption is approved, the Master Servicer may collect any transfer fee permitted by the Loan
Documents. If the Loan Documents are silent with regard to any Transfer/Assumption fee, then the Master
Servicer may charge a reasonable fee, up to 1% of the Unpaid Principal Balance (as of the anticipated effective
date of the Transfer/Assumption), and if permitted by applicable law. If the Transfer/Assumption involves a partial
prepayment of the Mortgage Loan, the transfer fee will be calculated on the Unpaid Principal Balance prior to the
partial Prepayment. Unless the Loan Documents provide otherwise, the Transfer/Assumption fee is in addition to
the processing fee. The processing fee should not be applied against the transfer fee.
For any Transfer/Assumption of a Secondary Risk Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will retain all of the Transfer/
Assumption fee. For any Primary Risk Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer must remit the entire transfer fee to
Fannie Mae. The Master Servicer must remit the Transfer/Assumption fee to Fannie Mae no later than five Business
Days after the date of the Borrower Transfer/Assumption. If the Borrower Transfer/Assumption is not approved,
the Master Servicer must refund to the Borrower any portion of the Transfer/Assumption fee previously collected.
For both a Primary Risk Mortgage Loan and a Secondary Risk Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will retain the
processing fee.
Any request for a waiver or reduction in required fees (except as noted above) must be approved by Fannie
Mae through the MAMP.

1. Performance Default: A performance default includes the Borrower completing an Assumption/Transfer without the required consent of the
Servicer or Fannie Mae.
2. Recourse Mortgage Loans: A Mortgage Loan for which the Borrower is personally liable in all events for repayment, or for which a full Payment
Guaranty has been executed. This does not include the liability limited solely pursuant to a Guaranty of Non-Recourse Obligations or its
equivalent unless the recourse was triggered by a prior default where Fannie Mae declared an Event of Default and issued an Event of
Default Notice. Note that the issuance Reservation of Rights Letter (Form 4804) is not an Event of Default Notice.
3. Fannie Mae Equity Interest: Any transaction in which Fannie Mae (a) is a limited partner of a limited partnership, or a member of a limited liability
company that invests in either (i) an operating entity that owns the Property, or (ii) an investment vehicle or “fund” that acquires an equity interest
in an operating entity that owns the Property, whether as a limited partnership, limited liability company, or any other ownership structure; (b)
itself or through a joint venture, directly or indirectly, provides mezzanine funds to the equity owner of the Borrower secured by a pledge of such
equity interest; or (c) itself or through a joint venture, directly or indirectly, acquires a preferred equity interest in the Borrower, which preferred
equity interest would entitle the preferred equity holder to assume control of the Borrower under certain conditions prescribed in the Borrower's
organizational documents.
4. Tax Exempt Bonds: If the transaction involves a Mortgage Loan financed with the proceeds of tax-exempt Bonds (whether by a Credit
Enhancement Mortgage Loan or a direct Bond purchase), the Servicer must follow the additional guidance below in addition the requirements
of this Form. The Bond Documents, including any Credit Enhancement Instrument, and the Loan Documents must be followed. For example, if
a Low Income Housing Tax Credit “LIHTC”) rider or exhibit has been executed, the Servicer must ascertain whether the requirements of such
LIHTC rider or exhibit have been met. For any transactions involving tax-exempt Bonds, Fannie Mae may engage outside legal counsel at
Borrower's expense to advise Fannie Mae or to document the transaction.
Before approving, or submitting a proposed Transfer/Assumption for approval by Fannie Mae, the Servicer must obtain from the Borrower written
evidence of the following:
(a) the new Borrower has agreed to execute a new Affordable Regulatory Agreement (or assume the existing Affordable Regulatory
Agreement)
(b) if the transaction involves a Transfer/Assumption constituting a transfer of 50% or more of the ownership interest in the Borrower,
confirmation from Bond counsel and, if Fannie Mae so requires, an opinion of Bond counsel, each at Borrower's expense, that the Transfer/
Assumption will not affect the exclusion from gross income, for federal income tax purposes, of the interest payable on the Bonds, including,
if applicable, the steps necessary to be taken to comply with Federal tax law requirements;
(c) the Issuer has consented or will consent to the Transfer/Assumption if required by the Affordable Regulatory Agreement or Bond
Documents, including payment of all fees and costs;
(d) all necessary approvals of the Transfer/Assumption have been obtained; and
(e) all requirements of the Affordable Regulatory Agreement, the Financing Agreement, the Trust Indenture, and the other Bond Documents
have been satisfied or can be satisfied.
5. Insurance Waivers: If a non-delegated waiver is necessary to comply with the requirements of Part II, Chapter 5 - Property and Liability
Insurance, submit a separate insurance waiver request through the MAMP.
